Toonami Replaces Deadman Wonderland Rerun With Attack on Titan Rerun

Sadly, I think I remember someone from Toonami. Mentioning that action shows are the only thing people watch.

Trying to argue with penguintruth on various things isn't easy.

I really don't know what to say to you other than 'no'.

You're basically saying that a show with ton of gore can't have a mature storyline but that's just so wrong on so many levels.

Haters gonna hate

A. He did'nt say any of that even if you try and paraphrase.

1. AOT has bait and switch storytelling with slow pacing.

2. Its not breaking the boundary of Shonnen gore when its pretending to be a Seinen.

3. Drama that doesn't develop the characters, only advance the plot and reiterate things again and again. At least Parasyte changes the dialouge up.

4. World building that tries to squish out as much juice as they can on a city inside the walls when there is still more interset outside them.

5. Main cast of characters being 2 dimensional or below besides Armin. And having your 3 dimensional characters like Jean, Hange and Erwin as secondary. Its basically the power fantasy formula to SAO and every action movie to have your main hero and heroine be bland as possible for the viewers to put them in their skin. Yes, Mikasa is a tool and a kudere pandering massocist otaku wet dream while Annie is a card-board cut ouy with blood shot high eyes. None are, "Strong independant women." Ange is a better female protagonist.

6. I disagree with Penguin on this, but it tries to bait that the show is trying to be more than a Carnage shonnen. Just with Annie having flashbacks foreshadows that, yet whats to feel sorry about? Nothing.

I read Gigantomakhia and found more interest in its aspects, story, characters and action than AOT. Which are basically similar materials besides 1 or 2 things which AOT lacks, small but stong characters and fast yet consistent pace that does'nt bait anything.

Better yet, just go watch/read Berserk for its maturity while having gore. I just watch AOT with a bunch of friends and enjoy the action and nothing else. Its popcorn entertainment and I'll watch it as such.

B. Deadman Wonderland on the other hand.

1. Reminds viewers of Batman Arkuyam City. Already something reletable.

2. Has gore galore.

3. Insane characters that fit gore galore

4. Fun yet respectable dub

Yeah, AOT had little to no fun with it. Respect is tossed in the dirt with them changing the script to make vastly different characters into relatable idiots or have intolerable script reads that make the writers sound like spoiled kids who want an ADR oscar.

When I heard the titans fight in the sub, their pitch and sound brought amazement and fear. Dub? Cockfighting! Just the sound of terrible edited audio to make them sound high pitch as possible to sound like screeching hens/roosters in a pit when they should be the biggest brutes as possible.

You know, a 90's dub had this same task to try and perfect. And suceeded. Does the community know what that was? Neon Genesis Evangelion. When the robots went berserk, they were amazing to hear but terrifying at the same time. Same with the Rebuild movies despite them sounding more high pitch and bird like, but very good try. Keep on shininng Matt!

Deadman has the best and funniest out of Greg Ayres while all of Funimations female actresses who sound like there trying not to be on, "Their time of the Month." Here they all embrace that they are on them. Jessica Boone will be proud. Plus the script is as insane as Panty and Stocking.

If they're going to use the 3am slot for reruns, they should use it to air shows that haven't been on for some time like Deadman: Cashern Sins, Samurai 7, or Shin-chan. Or use the slot for comedies to help ease into AS early morning comedies: Sgt. Frog, P&S... Unconventional is the key.

I'd love if they got the rights for Shin Chan back, and aired it again. It was very funny, and I even got the DVD's when they came out. Since I enjoyed the English dub so much.
You are right, the block could use a comedy show instead of so much action. Sadly, I think I remember someone from Toonami. Mentioning that action shows are the only thing people watch.

I wonder if there going to start from where they left off or the begining again

All that AoT hate.

That's why AoT's getting a second seasond and Deadman...hmm, let's see...still waiting...

Oh great, 1 more year of this crap till the 2nd season, give or take. I like AoT and all but this is just too much, shoving it in our faces, and the same story arc nonetheless.
