Hmm, not terribly excited. I'll watch it since I haven't seen it, but theres several other Aniplex shows I was hoping for more than this one.

I enjoyed Blue Exorcist for the most part, so I'm looking forward to watching the English dub of it. Perhaps if this does well, Toonami will air the film? Very Happy

I've only seen the first 3 episodes of the show and saw the film in theaters. I read about 3 or 4 books of the manga but NOTHING felt original to me . . . maybe the anime's better because 1. It's short 2. It has the same director as Darker than Black? What I saw of it, the production values looked better than Naruto or Bleach.

But yeah, I watch most of what's on Toonami . . . disregarding whether or not something was my cup of tea, Star Wars: The Clone Wars is probably the only thing I really had a problem with (I would have been content with the prior Clone Wars show though, don't think they have the rights).

But by the time Blue Exorcist airs, Space Dandy will be airing! I'm still excited for an anime that's never been seen before to air there, will probably have nicer ratings.

Definitely something to look forward to once Sword Art Online finally leaves. Probably the best choice Williams Street and Aniplex could have made, considering that a lot of the speculation for the Sword Art Online replacement tended to center on Valvrave the Liberator.

Meh. Been there done that. Hopefully this doesn't mean it's being taken off Neon Alley, though.

Toonami, why you actin' so cray-cray?

If you keep this kind of constant announcements up you'll need 7pm-6am to air it all!

This'll give viewers the chance to watch it since they don't want to spend big amount of $$ for DVD/Blu-Ray. I know I don't want to spend $140 on a 12 episode set of Blu-Ray. :/

Cartoon Network must have broadcast deals with Aniplex if they are airing a third title from off them. Still like Sword Art Online, this isn't a series that makes me anxious enough to want to have a late night Toonami binge to watch. I'm more giddy for Space Dandy than I am for this.

Huh, interesting. Always thought this one was a bit too...Satan-y...for American TV, but otherwise it's perfect for Toonami.

I'm a fan of the show, so I'll try and tune in for the dub :3
