Anime tends to be comprised of short runs – either for a season or the series as a whole. This means Toonami must frequently add new material to its lineup; and there\u00c2\u00a0has recently been much to talk about their\u00c2\u00a0schedule, both in the short-term and long-term.<\/p>\n

In the immediate future, One-Punch Man will be starting on July 16th, and it looks… interesting.<\/p>\n

One-Punch Man started as a Web-comic back in 2009 and quickly went viral. The webcomic is still ongoing, but it was also remade into a digital manga and that was later adapted into an anime series.\u00c2\u00a0It apparently parodies the superhero genre as well as martial arts anime (like DBZ). Needless to say, I am intrigued.<\/p>\n

The next bit of news is the announcement that Season 2 of Attack On Titan will air next Spring<\/a>. For the record, I believe this is the Japanese premiere date and not Toonami’s. However, given Titan’s popularity, smart money says it will soon follow.<\/p>\n

To be honest, I am mixed on this show. It had so much promise, but I felt the second half of the the first season really dragged. As a side note, the first season was made in 2013 (and aired on Toonami back in 2014) – it seems they are taking a page from the Venture Bros.’ production schedule.<\/p>\n

Lastly, Adult Swim released a cool behind-the-scenes video for Samarai Jack. It doesn’t show any footage, but it has plenty of Genndy – and that’s more than enough to get me even more excited for the show’s return. I always prefer these types of videos versus trailers because they remain spoiler free, yet still provide insight into show.<\/p>\n
