http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-07-31/samurai-7-anime-debuts-on-toonami-on-august-19Adult Swim, the cable and satellite network that is paired with Cartoon Network, is listing on its schedule that it will air the Samurai 7 television anime series on Sunday, August 19 at 12:30 a.m. The first episode will then air again at 3:30 a.m. The show will air during the revived Toonami block, and will replace Deadman Wonderland, which is ending its 12-episode run on August 12.>PSG they said
Holy shit they made an anime of the movie Seven Samurai? Is it any good?
They should air Needless.
>>69411506Please try to not be fucking retarded when samefagging. Everybody fucking knows about Samurai 7.
>>69411506Samurai 7 is fucking bad. It's EXTREMELY LOOSELY based on the Seven Samurai, by that I mean it's a really stupidly designed steam punk world and half the characters aren't human.It's not just a bad re-envisioning of the story, it's just a bad anime in general.
>>69411428At least they're not going to rerun that garbage 17 times over.
>>69411506>Is it any good?Nope.
>>69411578>not using every chance to call anime shit>caring if it's a samefag
>average score of 83Can't be worse than Deadman, anyways
Why don't they just air fractale already.
they should've aired darker than black
>>69411564This. Even though the dub is pretty awful, they might be able to grab that TTGL crowd with a new show.
I hope this shit dies again, which is very likely to happen.
>>69411630>implying Fractale wasn't complete shit
>>69411742>I haven't seen it's ratings
>>69411658Same. I wish they'd get Darker then Black, but it'll never happen.
>>69411428Fuck off with your toonamishit. It doesn't belong on /a/.
>>69411751>implying it didn't save anime
They should air Macross Frontier, Soaring Cake Girls and Simoun.
>toonami>>>/v/
>>69411807>>69411807>implying I didn't just laugh my ass off at your responseGood job bro. That just made my day
>>69411867CN will never air sub-only anime.
>>69411867Macross Frontier will never get an English dub because there's too much legal shit regarding the franchise.
>>69411936stay fat jelly man
>>69411952>American TV will never air subtitles
>>69412004Yeah, pretty much
Back to >>>/v/
>>69411995hhahahaa Yamakan's going to save anime
>>69411658>>69411776I want to say Darker then Black has aired on TV already, so it would be financially impossible, unless the other network was going to die tomorrow.
Why are Americans so against subtitles? It's common place to watch subtitled shows with original voices in my country.
>>69412004They aired subs for the Naruto openings back then
>>69412049They can't read.
>>69412049
>>69412048Wasn't it on IFC along with Gunslinger Girl or whatever?
>>69412049appreciating other cultures means you aren't American enough.
>>69411995>yamakan can play trumpet>yamakan is an older dude>aya hirano is a known lover of older men and hater of bassists.
>>69412049>Why are Americans so against subtitles?I'm not, though.
>>69412049Reading is for faggots
Samurai 7 isn't really that good though (LolGonzo) but I guess it's better than DW
>>69412064That's an opening though, not a 20 minute episode.
>>69411867>SimounI don't think it would do very well, too much girly melodrama and shit.>>69412049Because Americans are stupid. That's what you wanted to hear, right?
>>69412049Because faggots. Even in fucking college you find people who stutter over every word when reading. If I were to read a simple 300 page book outside that wasn't a textbook for school, someone would come up and comment in amazement at how I could ever get myself to read such a thing.
They should fucking air Tenchi Muyo: War on Geminar
>>69412049>am american>not against subtitlesWhat do you mean, "we're against subtitles"?
>>69412116>I represent the entirety of America
>>69412191Fuck you FUNimation.
Come back and hate america when you have over 2500 medals in the olympics
>>69412049Because of stupid audiences and the fact that America produces most entertainment, so people aren't used to reading subtitles. American shows tend to have the philosophy of "someone might change the channel to/from the show at any time, so you have to hook them with every single line." It would also be inconvenient for people with smaller televisions, which I think is most people.
>>69412049They air subbed Bollywood and Chinese movies on local channels here
>>69412147No actually. It's just weird that American media companies take the trouble to dub shows other than childrens' shows.
Fuck off, this shit don't belong here.
Is this shit gore? Murrica loves that stuff
>>69412203>>69412116That means shit. The majority of your country's population is clinically retarded.
>>69412252well technically, the media has everything dumbed down to the 5th grade level in America, so you can technically say that all shows are children's shows.
>>69412203>>69412116I mean the general public, or to be exact, the media companies' decision to dub instead of sub.
>adding more shit to the shitfest
They should air Yumekui Merry.
>>69411506>gonzo
>>69412343Countless stupid excuses that we've all heard before.>If I wanted to read, I'd read a book>I won't be able to pay attention to what's going on>I can't read fast enough!
>>69412385>Invisible trombone
>>69412347People actually liked Deadman Wonderland, because it aired on Toonami.
>>69412451People liked Deadman because it's porn.
Ah Toonami, where shitty anime is appreciated.
>>69411658They should've aired Mirai Nikkiit's DEEP and grimdark enough to replace Darkman Wondergrim, but you just know hundreds of /v/irgins would lose their shit over Yuno
>>69411564Too bad I don't have cable anymore.But still, the TTGL crowd will probably enjoy the fuck out of it.
>>69412476I watch for the plot.
>>69412451I cant' believe how much the 4chan posters who follow Toonami liked Deadman Wonderland.
I haven't seen Samurai 7 or Samurai Seven or the Magnificent Seven.Why is Samurai 7 bad? Is it boring, just poorly constructed, terribad CGI?
>>69412518They'll have to wait year to get the dub out because >lolreverseimporting
>>69412518You know, that would be a huge success. Funi already licensed Mirai Nikki so we should expect that series on Toonami next year
>>69412518Yeah, I bet MN would fair pretty well.
>>69412476What the fuck? Is that serious?
>>69412569>toonami>being around for another year
The trouble is that american parents don't want to actually have to teach their children anything, so they leave it to the schools to teach children how to read, write, etc.The schools are run like businesses, focused on standardized grade scores of students in order to get more funding from the government. They couldn't care less if the children retain any knowledge and they certainly won't go out of their way to teach anything that isn't on the standardized tests.All problems with american education would be solved if people had some personal responsibility in educating their offspring.
fuck i thought toonami got pulled back off the air because of shit ratings. its only a matter of time until toonami dies for good due to the shit anime they keep airing.
>>69412049Yea seriously. I went to Costa Rica on vacation expecting to not be able to watch any tv and there was fucking channels dedicated to airing American/British shows with spanish subtitles. It was actually pretty fucking awesome cause I never get to watch shows like Top Gear or How It's Made on actual TVFucking America
>>69412591Episode 2 seems to have fared a little better according to its' approval rating.
>>69412642Toonami has excellent ratings, especially for it's time block. Do you idiots even think about what you type?
Wow.I thought I couldn't give less of a shit about Toonami, but you proved me wrong, OP.
>People still watch ToonamiBut why?
They should have aired Index. It's just what Toonami needs.-Punching chick-Accelerator-Blood everywhere-Such misfortune-BiriBiri/Misaka XXXXX/Last Order-Religion is the enemy
>>69412678Source?
>>69412641and keeping the government out of the school system
>>69412565You pretty much nailed it. It's basically Samurai vs. Bad CGI Mechas.
>>69412659Yeah, I mean there's no channels at all in languages aside English in the US. Well, except the hundreds specifically in Spanish and things like Japanese and Chinese. Those don't exist because you're too poor to pay for anything aside the basic package. Hell, you probably only have basic cable.
>>69412715Boku no google
>>69412709>Punching womenCan you imagine the OMG MISOGYNY shitstorm?
>>69412715http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2012/06/13-1/toonami-anime-block-ratings-improve-in-week-2It also constantly has the top trends on Twitter.
>>69412742Not that guy, but>paying for cable when you have access to internet
>>69412742The key point is about english subtitles you asshat.
>>69412842I have FiOS so it's all on the same line anyway.
>>69412809They can replace the punching with "I send her to the Shadow Realm"
Bleach is now only the second worst rated show they air at 12:00amDeadman is now tied as the second worst rated show they air at 12:30amCasshern is now only the second worst rated show they air at 1:00am
>>69412415Fuck, that made me rage.Also>They talk too fast! "CHINCHANCHOWA"Why the fuck do they always have to mock the language? Fucking why?
>>69412968The funny part is they are actually mocking Chinese and are too stupid to realize Japanese and Chinese are different languages that sound nothing alike.
>>69412943I'm pretty sure Toonami does far better than the constant reruns they play
>>69412908
>>69412831Its been going down allot.http://sonofthebronx.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/adult-swim-ratings-july-9-15-2012.htmlhttp://sonofthebronx.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/adult-swim-ratings-july-16-22-2012.html#more
>>69412968Because anything that isn't English sounds stupid and funny.>Haha, that word in that language sounds like shit!
>>69413078Non-English speakers do that most of the time, especially on /a/.>x word in this show title means y in Portuguese XD>LEL in GERMAN DIS WERD DAT IS DA PERSUNS NAME MEANS SHIT :DDD
>Turning China's most ferocious and legendary warrior into an over sexualised loli>Turning Cthulu into a kawaii uguu girl>Changing their own history by making everyone into a little girlFINE, fuck I get it Japan, you like little girls. Whatever, this is sad and enraging but I can forgive it...>Making a steampunk anime of Kurosawa's greatest workBut this... this is unforgivable. Fuck you Japan. Fuck you forever.
>>69413128Well, not non English speakers, you know what I meant.
>>69413131How else are they suppose to catch youngsters attention?
>>69413131What do you have against little girls?
>>69413131You're 8 years late.
After so much sub, I cannot go back to dub. I just cannot.
>>69413207>not doing both>being a faggot weeaboo instead LEL SUPERIOR NIPPONESE
>>69413223Because they're barely any good dubs.
>>69413263Not really, there are quite a lot of good and even great ones.Of course the whole LEL SUPERIOR NIPPONESE thing keeps you from believing that.
>>69413263"There are" you faggot.
>>69413296Fuck.
>>69413263>they are barely any good dubs
>>69412943source?
I don't like dubs because I actually like to listen to the japanese language. Also my mind can't accept the idea of not listening the original language, even for cartoons. If it's made in Russia, I want to watch it in russian and with english subs, for example.
>>69413456See>>69413048
>>69413468Yeah, me, too, somewhat. But also, those English VAs are frickin' terrible and/or make my ears bleed.
>>69412563I liked it. I liked the dialog, the censored swearing added a lot of fun to the show. It was hilarious when there's like 10 seconds of beeping and you know their letting loose the f-bombs. I can understand why people won't like the dub, different strokes for different folks. I'll watch Samurai 7 and see if I like it.
>>69413658The dub is funny for that show, but Deadman Wonderland is still awful.
>>69413295Just stop, okay? Stop assuming he's watched those GREAT dubs you're talking about and immediately dismissed them as shit because of this supposed superiority complex you think we have. No one here acts like that. When a dub is good, the usual consensus is that it's good. No one here says dubs are bad simply because they're dubs, but because they have noticeable flaws. Maybe he hasn't watched those shows you're talking about, but then again, how would we know, since you're not even providing any examples. From what I see, you're the one exhibiting a superiority complex because you think that dubs are better than subs and we're inferior for not agreeing with you.>tripfag>doesn't have a superiority complexPick one
When will they air Great Teacher Onizuka and Cromartie High School?
>>69413820Dude, it's a joke. He's joking. He's being humorous by using capslock and obviously stupid ideas. Where's that fucking joke.jpg when I need it.
>>69412659>Costa RicaHows that army working out for them? Did tehy already got rid of the dinosaurs?
>>69413820>No one here says dubs are bad simply because they're dubsActually you are wrong about that. Liking/hating dubs is a situational thing and a lot of people on 4chan hate it because they've been trained to.
Isn't airing HxH a no brainer?
>>69413944>>69413295Care to name some beside the usual?
>>69412659>Costa RicaShit tier country. From all Centroamerican countries, why Costa Rica? It's boring as shit. It's full of peaceloving ecological faggots. It's all dull there. Why didn't you went to a more manly latinoamerican country? Why, nigga, why?
>>69413872I've heard they're focusing on action show for now.>>69411630Why in fucks name did funi dub this
>>69413884>HURR I WAS ONLY PRETENDING TO BE RETARDED
>>69413985What's the point? They'll just be shot down as shit.
>>69414070Well you could try I guess?
>>69414070Unless they give you legitimate reasons as to why they think it's shit, their opinion won't mean shit.
>>69412659That shit happens on all latinoamerica. Even with movies. There's a similar war to the "sub vs dub" with movies and live actions here. All animation dubs are pretty bitching (even anime. Sometimes the latinospanish dub is better than the english dubs.), but live action just fucking sucks. Most people prefer subs over dubs when it comes to movies, but dub over subs when it comes to TV live action shows. It's all weird here in Bean-nigger land.
>>69414165Most people prefer dubs over subs because "they can't read that fast" or some other bullshit. Fucking, uncultured spics.
>>69412240Does clapping appear too?
>>69413944No, the majority of the time is because once it gets localized, the fanbase gets swarmed with casuals, streamfags, and tryhard "otakus".
>>69412709Christians would go on a rampage.
>>69412240>Nyan Cat>Omaha Steaks>Lady Gaga>great thingsfuck this country.
I don't hate dubs, but I FUCKING HATE IT WHEN THEY CHANGE THE SHOW'S OST.
>>69414165I love LatinoAmerican females VA because they actually can pull of the cutesy, innocent voice (specially Argentinian, the accent of that language helps with nasal voices a lot, and helps the dubs to stay true to the source material and the characters voices) that American woman just can't pull off, with their rocky, gritty old lady voice.
>>69412240Is "nyan cat" an outstanding thing about the USA?
>>69414165But, anime disappeared from latin american TV (except for dragon ball reruns and naruto). And the dub for dragon ball kai is bad.
>>69413993Costa Rica has the best forests. I'm from El Salvador.
>>69414165Basic cable here has like 3-4 channels with subtitles. There are zero subbed movie channels. Those are in the digital pack.
>>69412049Because as children, we're conditioned to think that we should have everything in English.
>>69412240>Nyan Cat and the NASA are comparableOh wow.
>>69412179Reading out loud is a completely different skill to reading in your head.
>>69414340>Nyancat>Vocaloid song...yeah, I'm kind of confused as to this. How is that American?
>>>/v/get the fuck out /v/ and nostaliga goggled pieces of shit. dear god, "toonami" should be a blacklisted phrase.
>>69414477Reading comprehension is fun, you should try is sometime. jk man, but the post you quoted is unrelated to what you just said.
They should air Tenchi Muyo! War on Geminar
>>69412179The same thing happens here. I read the 5 books of "A song of ice and fire" in 1 month or less I think, my friends were all surprised.
>>69413006>Earthquake last year>Mom comes up to me: Hey son, did you know Japan and China are two different places?Thank god I'm adopted. I couldn't handle being related to these stupid fucks.
>>69414550No one is even discussing old toonami. We're all discussing anime here, ever tried doing that? Maybe you should leave /a/ if you don't have anything anime-related to discuss. Fucking cancer. The least you could do is hide a thread you don't like instead of being an elitist prick.
>>69414571I'm not him, but the second sentence in the comment of the guy he replied to had >Even in fucking college you find people who stutter over every word when readingIt's not entirely a huge step.
>>69412107Now let's cut the opening to the Olympics because the 7/7 bombings aren't important. The only real tragedy was 9/11
>>69414571>Even in fucking college you find people who stutter over every word when reading.So about that reading comprehension...
>>69414685>Grandpa taking Japanese flag he looted during WWII out of storage>Aunt asks, "When did you go to China?"/a/ is my blog
>>69412601That's what they said about the classic Nick shows block.
>>69412709This would be funny as fuck, just to see if it provokes a response from oversensitive retards.
>>69414685
>>69412709All that free publicity
>>69414789It's a standard "Americans are stupid" joke, this time from the perspective of a stupid american.I'm sorry I didn't mention clapping.
>>69414735Agreed, that's why I dropped the biting tone and went with a friendlier one. I don't actually thing someone is dumb for making that mess-up.>>69414764It doesn't literally mean people audibly stutter over every word they're reading, it's a hyperbole. Most people don't even read aloud to themselves, and particularly not on campus where people they don't know will hear them.
So how is toonami doing anyways?
>>69413048>>69415149We'll probably forget about it by next year.
>>69415149Pretty well, actually. Most of the casual anime loving masses are really into Deadman Wonderland because they have no taste, and they have Bebop if nothing else.
>>69415149Bleach, as always, is pulling somewhere over a million viewers.Deadman Wonderland is as well.Cashew Sins is like significantly less viewers, but still decent numbers for it's timeslot.
>>69415209Think they will ever dare to get rid of Bleach? I'm pretty sure the normalfags are over it.
>>69415312See>>69415299
>>69415149Doing well with it's low budget, #Toonami and #DeadmanWonderland trends on Twitter every Saturday. Hopefully they'll get a bigger budget for better shows.
>>69415312Doubt it. If it's pulling numbers like this guy >>69415299is saying.
>>69415351>trends on Twitter every SaturdayHow do you know this? What is "trends"? Like it's "cool" and talked about on Saturday?
>>69413048The problem is the content.First you open with Bleach. Turns off anyone with a powerlevel worth a damn.Deadman is next. Basically your only eyecatch, and its censored so heavily that it pisses people off.Casshern is really niche. Not many "get" it. Not that it's DEEP, alot of people just dont appreciate it in the west.FMA Brotherhood is a decent choice... but its already been airing for awhile so it just feels like same old shit.Then GiTS, and Bebop round it off, which has been played a million times and is at a really late time.I once they get a few more "new" shows, it will do better. Provided they are smart about picking which shows to license.
>>69415420I don't understand half the shit these twatter kids talk about either.
>>69415299They're airing Casshern Sins? Color me surprised.
>>69415312Nah, they're not. Normalfags have surprisingly strong stamina for shows even in the worst of times. Bleach is going to be around for a while yet.
>>69415420Meaning its being talked about on twitter a lot using those hashtags meaning people are watching and/or tuning in to Toonami. Last weekend both those hashtags trended on there that night.
Toonami and [AS] anime are doomed to fail if the execs keep pushing their good anime tastes onto the plebs. They should've learned their lesson with Moribito and now they're pushing Casshern Sins on the general public. There's much more mainstream anime out there.
>>69412569>MN>huge success>Toonami
>>69415420You see how he put a pound key before Toonami and Deadman Wonderland?That's basically a "trend". It's a way to tell Twitter of something specific going on. If enough people Tweet about it (post on Twitter using that trend), it becomes marked on a list that basically everyone on Twitter sees, which is what everyone starting a trend aims for.Does that help, dad?
>>69415580Well it helped, you kids and your twatters.
>>69414358>anime has disappearedEven on your national channels? Because in my country, a national channel has 2 hours dedicated to Anime, they play Brotherhood there too.
I say they just fucking air everything by Gainax in combination with HOTD and fucking dragon ball z, sure its pleb but they would get a shit ton of viewers.
>>69414358It's not only anime. Most animated shows have great dubs.
>>69415514You didn't know? Unfortunately it has the same problem that Deadman has in that it's heavily censored. Really that's what is hurting them the most right now; they either need to get good shows that don't need a censor, or they just need to do away with the censorship entirely. I mean, honestly it's 2012, are there even people still alive that want censors?
They should air Sekirei.
>>69415614Where are you form? At least on my country anime disappeared.
>>69415570I could definitely see Mirai Nikki being mainstream. It topped online-reader charts while it was still in serialization, which is a good measure of what's mainstream-popular.
>>69415641Everyone would scream pedo. You know how dumb the masses are.
Ben-to would fit pretty well.
>>69414367>forests>relevantNice try, Costaricanfag.
They should really try to get accel world. The masses would love that shit.
>>69415634Companies that advertise want censors.That's basically the only reason they censor.They have to find advertisers that are cool with uncensored material before they can do uncensored anime.
They should air school rumble.
>>69415664I doubt that.Kuu's tits are never shown so it's probably okay.
So why aren't they airing HOTD? The dub is... decent (the pink haired bitch is WAY off) and the west would eat that shit up. Just sensor the nipples a little in that one bath episode and bleep out "fuck", and you got yourself a show for the AS asspies.
>>69415667>Ben-to would fit pretty well.>sold like shit>unpopular as fuck>getting licensed>getting dubbedDumbass.
>>69415663Mirai Nikki would be an instant win for them in my opinion as well. I could imagine all the DN fans flocking to it as their new messiah. Don't know how they'd get away with the underaged sex scene though.
>>69415708So what, J-list and porn sites?
It's like Toonami is TRYING to suck.Are they still leading each night with bleach?
>>69415663> It topped online-reader charts while it was still in serialization, which is a good measure of what's mainstream-popular.
>>69415634>Casshern Sins>heavily censored Wut?
They should do a special with Mardock Scramble, but than they really might scream pedo.
>>69415736You could say the same about Redline.Actually, you could say the same about most western-based anime. They sell like shit in Japan. Evangelion not withstanding.That said, I doubt Ben-to will get licensed ever...
>>69415708OLD MEN
>>69415736You forgot the fact that Deadman Wonderland is one of the most popular shows airing at the moment. Also last time I checked people love The Big O and Cowboy Bebop.
>>69415691>/a/ in charge of knowing what the masses want
>>69415736Big O wasn't popular until it was sold to outside markets. Sold like shit means it would probably be pretty cheap. The mindless fights would appeal to the shitty audience and the show itself is more interesting to watch than anything else on the network at the moment
>>69415634But see...what I don't get is this...You have shows like ATHF that show gratuitous amount of violence and gore for a comedic effect. Yet, when anime does it, it suddenly needs to be censored. Why is one okay, and not the other? That's what I don't understand about the way the censor things.
>Toonami>>>/tv/
>>69415799>western-based anime
>>69415815Think about it man, it fits the demographic.
>>69415771Am I wrong? Is stuff like Fairy Tail and the Big 3 not mainstream...?
>>69415875Not really, no.
>>69415828I'm pretty sure they don't censor the gore.
Holy Crap!!!!!! Panty and Stocking when? I thought it was at the top of the most requested for Toonami
>>69415893You're telling me, that aside from the working class that comes home late at night and throws on CN, that there aren't fat virgin teens watching that shit? Come on man.
>>69415826>>69415814You retards do realize that doesn't apply to all anime right?>BIG O>Had an artstyle that reminiscent of of Batman:TAS>AIRED IN THE FUCKING DAYTIME which caught the interest of a lot of people>CARTOON NETWORK FUNDED THE SECOND SEASONNow how does Ben-to and Deadman fit here?
>>69415850Ok wise ass. "Anime that has heavy western elements and themes, and appeal to the western viewer."
>>69415828They're censoring the language. Pretty sure the dub says fuck a lot.
>>69415915Toonami faggots don't even know about it.
>>69415889Do you even know what mainstream is? They're not even at the same level as One Piece is in the US
I wouldn't watch PnG anyway, although Samurai 7 is hardly any better. i guess it's replacing Deadman Wonderland...
>>69415976OOOHHHHHHHH yes. Yes they do know about it.
>>69415943>>AIRED IN THE FUCKING DAYTIME which caught the interest of a lot of peopleI seem to recall Big O airing way late at night like 1-2AM late.
