Actually, the manga is an adaption from the show (though it was a prerelease tie-in). It originally came into being when the Gainax employees got hammered while on vacation.

Really? My bad, then.

They specifically tweeted that they want to.

Sweeeeeeet.
I kinda feel One Piece was cheated out of popularity in the US, mostly because of 4Kids. I stopped watching it on TV because it was so damn kiddy and Luffy's voice made me cringe, so I simply stuck to the manga.
And then the Funimation dub came out. While Luffy still had an infuriating voice, everything else was pretty awesome. But by then, I don't think anyone cared or took the time to notice because they already settled their opinions.

So, I'm hoping Toonami could help it gain more recognition. This is something that's catapulted into theme parks and insurance commercials, why not become something in America too?

If this turns out to be a success, they could get a weekday lineup, where it would be possible to air the stuff targeted at younger viewers.

At the moment, they need good ratings just to [i]keep this block and get a decent budget[/i]. If their ratings are exceptional, they can get Adult Swim's Saturday space. That's the official word, from what I've been seeing in tweets today.

Don't get all cocky just because the block's back for a more extended test.

The one problem is that they're airing this in the middle of the night. They'd be better off airing it in the evenings like they used to, though I'm guessing their budget issues are preventing that.

Well, they should remember that is it a midnight block. Odds are they will take that into account and use the numbers adult swim gets on Saturday nights to compair.

Wait, they tweeted it? I saw it on the link that they wanted to pick it up (that, FT, and Gundam were the ones I liked) but I didn't see any tweets.

They already have those though, don't they?

And the one thing I'm more excited to see than anything is their special intros for their new line-up.

FMA:B yes, but Deadman hasn't aired on CN to my knowledge. I know they have them, but I mean actually aired.

They should get TTGL so it isn't a once-in-a-while on SyFy, but eh.

Yes, but Deadman was confirmed to be part of the lineup already. What's the point in asking them to get it now?

It's not asking them to get it, it's me being excited about it =/

Tara Sands and Bella Hudson also played male and female roles.

But I doubt even Cartoon Netowrk would get Panty and Stocking without the classic censor and bleep.

I kinda wished they would air ALL of Tenchi Muyo, and bring back Sailor Moon, Gundam Wing, SilverHawks, etc.

Oh and about Colleene, she's going to be Scanty iin Panty and Stocking. The woman who was Mrs. Hinata is gonna be Panty and the woman who was Nyamo in Azumanga Daioh, she'll be stocking.

To be honest, anime fans are just terrible. We need to stop pirating everything.
[/quote]
I can understand the pirating to some degree. Fairy Tail for example only has like 50 episodes available for official viewing so people are going to pirate the rest. Naruto isn't that excuable since, while it is a week, a week is hardly any time so, again, support the official martial. The one that bugs the hell out of me though is that people pirate something like One Piece that releases online HOURS after it airs in Japan. No, your being stupid and DIRECTLY refusing to support the people that are making it. Hell, the same can be said for those that don't watch the official backlogs for any anime.
