On Sunday we rolled out new HTML for 4chan's imageboards. The new code validates HTML5/CSS3, the design should appear exactly the same, pages should load slightly faster (especially long threads), and extension/user script/archive developers should have a much easier job parsing our pages. This is the first time in approximately ten years that it has been updated.

If you are using an extension or app that has not been updated for the changes, some features may not work—you will need to wait for the developer to update their extension/app to be compatible with the new HTML. If you haven't downloaded it already, try the Official 4chan Chrome Extension.

The most significant changes with the new HTML are a new mobile-optimized layout for phones, and inline extension features. Check them out by clicking [Settings] in the upper-right (make sure you don't select features that conflict with those from an extension though), or visit 4chan from your phone!

We are still working through a few bugs with the new code. Please report any bugs you find to newhtml@4chan.org.

I don't really care. It will only be good for nostalgia purposes, anyway. I'm fairly certain most kids today have no idea what Toonami even is. Once the nostalgia goggles come off, Toonami will probably end up dying again.

Death Note is entry level (along with TTGL, Code Geass, etc.) because they transcend the "anime" level and are popular with a much, much larger fanbase.

Equivocally, you could call them "babby's first anime" if you were a faggot.

Nit the guy your responding to but:


Those are good rating but how many of the viewers would stick around? I'm sure the huge hype an nostalgia it had brung in a lot of those viewers. If they want constant rating I think a block with a majority of new unaired shows would prosper.

>I think a block with a majority of new unaired shows would prosper.
That's what they're working on now. I guess they figure the nostalgia can't last forever either, so there's going to be "airing" shows on Toonami using the term airing loosely, since they've obviously already aired in Japan. It's not like licensing and dubbing happens overnight.
>>
>>65903420

>but how many of the viewers would stick around?

This, it was a popular night because TEZOMAHGAWD TEH TOONARMI IS TEREBI. It's just pure nostalgia and not anything else. Hell, it's not even the same Toonami most of these people remember, the afternoon block.

Because it attracts the worst kind of "anime" fans
For example, you have pretentious snobs who believe Bebop is the epitome of anime, the pinnacle of Japanese entertainment unsurpassed to this very day. You have people who believe Death Note is a masterpiece, an "epic", well-written tale. And then you have the obnoxious shit that surrounds things like Inuyasha that makes fat men and women prance around screaming how kawaii uguu sakuraland is and how they wish they were neko-chans eating bento boxes at the sushi-karaoke bar afterschool.

>>65903449

Yeah, Toonami in 2000 might have been important because kids couldn't buy all the VHS tapes and DVDs as easily, so they had no previous exposure, but now you can get all of the new anime you want, even legally, the same day it airs in Japan. Toonami as a tool to get new fans, especially at that timeslot, is a joke.

Toonami's going to fail again for several reasons.
1. It's going to get pushed into either a once-a-week or late-night timeslot
2. Adult Swim doesn't market the anime they license(Geass, Kekkaishi, DRRR, etc)
3. More expensive to maintain than the half-assed series Adult Swim has been shitting out over the years
4. Tim and Eric guys general hatred of the demographic
5. General incompetency from Cartoon Network.

I give it 6 months at the most.

Different strokes for different folks. Entry level anime isn't the only "bad" anime. The stuff /a/ watches can be pretty bad too.

But see, the "watch things online before DVDs and TV" crowd isn't just pirates anymore. Legal streams and DDLs are everywhere. Like, the only people who watch Toonami to actually see anime for the first time must not own computers.
>>
>>65903541
I agree with this.

>>65903583
I think it could have been a good way to get more people interested in anime (although some will stop at the entry level shit, some might actually be future /a/nons). If it wasn't in the worst timeslot they could possibly find for it. I mean come on, although the anime on it isn't that great, it is better than everything else that airs on Cartoon Network.

>implying Ocarina of Time is even good
>>
>>65903658

>1. It's going to get pushed into either a once-a-week or late-night timeslot

It already is. This is literally just taking the current Saturday night adult swim block and calling it Toonami. There is no afternoon or weeknight block.
>>
>>65903503
>>65903499

It's good to hear they are at least putting in effort an to be honest if I see something airing that I havnt watched, I'll watch it. Yes I prefer subs but meh it won't kill me to watch a dub. It will be interesting to see where this goes though.

An yeah it's strange it's not going to be the afternoon block. Me personally? I would have brought back the after school timed block with Shounen type shows on it an then just had adult swim air newer more "adult" (fanservice, blood, ect) shows late at night like they used to.
>>
>>65903658

It's already a once-a-week and late-night timeslot.

I believe Toonami should air Strike Witches and Queen's Blade. It would be a healthy family-friendly addition to the timeslot.

Yes, but that doesn't change that this is MIDNIGHT ON SATURDAY, THE DEADEST OF THE DEADAIR TIMESLOTS. You're not going to suddenly attract people out the woodworks with a block at that time unless they:

A. Already know about Toonami via previous exposure.

I don't know of a lot of the anime that /a/ watches, but compare fans of animes like K-on! and Lucky Star to fans of animes like Yu Yu Hakusho and Cowboy Bebop (which I didn't enjoy). They'll both have good and bad fans, but in my opinion, the "entry level" anime will have better fans to talk about as they probably wouldn't be all crazy about their respective shows.

I do agree that the block is really dangerous. We came home from school, rushed homework, an watched toonami.
Allow me to say this has been a nice thread so far. Minimal trolling, I'm proud

Once people realize that it's not going to be the saviour of anime in the west, you can rationally discuss why it's no different from Adult Swim currently, aside from Blumbot 5.0.

It means that they are at least paying attention to the anime block. This is something they haven't done in years.

Let me get this straight, you guys are having a shitstorm over some shitty American-only TV block that will air dubbed anime which you can watched subbed or dubbed at anytime you please at higher quality? What the fuck?

Find a forum or YouTube video related to Bebop. Post why you didn't enjoy it. Sit back.

It is still an anime and technically belongs here, as much as people hate it. If the narutards were left alone to discuss their shitty series the threads could be reasonable, but that will never happen because shit posters always feel the need to post.

Yes, but don't pretend that the non-anime shit matters at all. We're talking about the anime it will be airing, and what new shit they will have. Also, if you don't mind, cease and desist with the namecalling. It's beneath you I hope.

Instead of sperging out /jp/ style, we are now actually telling you why it's not as great as the other boards make it out to be. Honestly, I expected more /jp/-ness out of night /a/.
>>
>>65904148

Oh, but then you have that dichotomy of "are people watching/going to be watching Toonami because of nostalgic purposes, or because they want to see new anime?"

Me personally, it'd be nice to see more older anime that was never on Toonami or Adult Swim before mixed with new anime, but those people who just want more Tenchi, Outlaw Star, and Cowboy Bebop again can go fuck themselves. Give other shows a try. But see, what we've been hearing and seeing so far is that people want that nostalgia mixed with InuYasha and FMA and Bleach.

Has /jp/ gotten worse or something since I last visited (ages ago)? I don't remember ever experiencing copypasta spam there.

>>65904222

That was worse than /jp/. /jp/ is about creative shitposting, not spamming lines from a well known pastebin.
>>
>>65904275

Seriously, I'm not even going to watch Toonami once it starts up again, but the /jp/ level autism and shitposting was making me flip my shit so hard. It's like people think making the board worse will somehow make it better.

Im looking for a Bento Box, it cant be pinku (thats japanese for pink) or any girl color. It has to be of 2 or more kotoba (thats
japanese for 2 compartments) and has be be chibi (small) sized. And has to be really kawaii (cute). Also It has to be about 10-20
bux. And you have to post pics of it first (i want to make shure it's kawaii (cute)). And it would be nice if it came with matching
chopstick holder (WITH chopsticks). OH! and it CANNOT have any cartoon pictures, or be made out of plastic. It has to be made of
ceramic, or something like that. Also it would be nice if it was made in japan. and not in china or corea (korea) or whatever. I
have found a Bento Box similar to the one im describing in e-bay, but it was 1 kotoba, and i dont want my gohan (rice) to touch my
other things (it can get wet and i would not like that, plus 2 compartments looks more kawaii)

I wouldn't mind seeing a few of them like OS or Tenchi OVAs run ONE more time on Toonami, except for Bebop. They've played Bebop about 8 times through now so fuck that.

Doesn't change the fact that it's not entirely an anime block and thus, not /a/-related.

Fuck, even light novel thread is more /a/-related than Toonashit thread.

/a/ is not the rest of the internet, you'll find many of us who started way earlier than Toonami. But at the time, any anime on TV was a nice addition to video tapes whereas its importance today is much less stated.

Maybe it's the fact that your annoying brothers in arms feel the need to make one thread for every thread that doesn't stay on the front page and then more threads every time they see someone say something negative. If you kept it to one Toonami general thread, less people would be upset.

Yeah, it died mostly because of stupid decisions in 2007 if I recall.

Since it's a once a week late night block, they should just go crazy and try something completely weird, like play older, out of print stuff that folks who don't know about Baka bt may dig. Wtf is the point to play stuff anyone who is recording the block has seen in the last few years or bebop for the one millionth time. If the block is built to fail, and they basically have no masters, might as well take a some chances instead of turning to the old and tired.

Take your nostalgia glasses off and read the thread.
