    They're doing Q/A now

    http://toonami.tumblr.com/post/51473...funimation-and

    Anonymous Asked: There's been some news on ANN that Funimation and Sentai are in talks about taking over the distribution of former Bandai Entertainment titles in North America. Many of us fans are hoping that among these rescued titles are more of the various Mobile Suit Gundam series (we know Sentai has already taken over distribution for Gundam Unicorn). If either or both of these companies aquire the rights to some more of the Gundam shows, can we expect to see Gundam return to Toonami?
    If we can get our hands on a Gundam, we would certainly consider airing a Gundam series!

    Did they mean Right Stuf? They're the ones handling Unicorn's distribution in North America.

    Sentai is in the game for other BEI licenses and (probably) Gundam.

    Really, if Toonami was smart, they'd maybe try and get some of the merchandise revenue from airing Gundam. That's ridiculous money on an annual basis for Bandai. Even a relatively minor percentage would probably give them some fundage they can invest into other shit. After all, in 2012 alone, over 10k kits from the Master Grade Gundam Wing line -alone- were sold in North America (and the actual totals are something like 35.5k in terms of MGs sold for the year.. not even counting High Grades).

    Didn't notice the news about Sword Art Online till now. That's pretty amazing. I wonder if their budget has increased? To get such a recent show.

    I doubt its so much a matter of being recent, as being within their budget/something Aniplex was willing to negotiate on to get it on-air.

    As a "kinda" fan of SAO (it had a good concept and I did enjoy watching it for a while, but the show felt rushed, the characters go mary sue real fast and I wasn't a fan of the second half of the story at all) it's amazing Toonami will be showing it. It means they're able to get their hands on pretty recent anime and as far as I'm concerned, that's a good thing. While the classics are all nice and good and all, one of the things that made the old Toonami great was it's ability to introduce "new" shows and anime to the west. Nowadays the internet has that whole thing on lockdown, but if Toonami is able to get their hands on newer shows like SAO, it'll certainly help bring back some of that old school magic.

    Rock on Toonami, rock on.

    So Aizen was actually Vicious all along as well.

    I'm disappointed. They really need to have SoA on earlier. Newer shows should always have priority. Switch places with it and Naruto.

    I think that's the first time new Toonami has given a 10 on anything.

    Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon was the first 10 since the revival, but they've given a 10 to other games in the past.
