BECAUSE IT'S AWESOME

But seriously, if watching anime on tv is often more fun than watching on the internet (which it is), adding this cool guy on his cool spaceship to make the whole block feel more connected instead of just random shows that are aired, is also more fun.

and it worked, because AS anime was close to being dead before this.

Hmm... how much, if any, do they censor on Toonami? I know they did in the original run, back when it aired earlier.

Not much more than any late night program would usually censor...

Well that's good. I'd assume it's all dub as well. If I had cable, I'd probably watch it. Then of course, doesn't Funimation have a Cable Station?

Yes, though it's not on Comcast or Time Warner Cable as far as I know.

It was also dropped from Fios a while ago. While I did like it, it wasn't that interesting (sometimes that even included the programming) and does nothing to make you want to watch it over just going on the internet, especially compared to new Toonami (or practically any major television channel for that matter). Toonami probably also works because other people actually watch it and it's only 6 hours (and only the first 3 or 4 really matter).

That being said, it did introduce me to School Rumble and Mushishi, probably a couple of others too. So that was nice of it.

@kkslider
Whaddya mean that only the first 3 hours matter? What about Bebop and FMA in the early morning?

(Speaking of which, when @RR529 does his summaries, he never mentions these two, or Inuyasha and other later/earlier programs.)

I meant more the fact that no one watches anything at that time rather than the shows. That and those shows have been rerun a ton (Bebop is rerun so much on AS you would think it was a formerly cancelled Fox comedy)

How exactly?

Similarly, before I've even really figured out what happens in it, I know of the "events" in episode 6. Both of these are extremely distracting and killjoy for me.

I'm on Bleach episode 256, I can't believe the Zan Pac To filler arc is still going on. I thought after the people behind it were taken care it would end and then go back to the Aizen arc, yet it still was on that terrible filler that ended it's welcome a long time ago. I'm thinking I might just switch over to Full Metal Alchemist, cause I can't take much more of this Bleach filler. Can anyone tell me when it ends?

@Rocko52 I kinda stopped following One Piece for a while(missed the entire arc after that but i since saw it on anime ) when that happen. but later on i learn to accept it. I think the reason Oda chose to do that. It was to avoid a "rivalry" angle like in Naruto.
