In case you guys missed it, Jason updated us earlier this week on what has been sent in the most to Toonami about manipulate the manual. Here is what he said on twitter:
Lot of responses. Most common suggestions are as follows:
1. Make Toonami LONGER. Sorry, that one is out of our hands, but we like it!

2. Go DARKER. We hear you on that. Deadman's success showed us you guys might like that… Black Lagoon a bit less so! But we have ideas.

3. KEEP things a mix of classic shows and newer stuff. A lot of you seem to like the balance we have right now!

4. No more American action! This one… Not sure we will do any time soon. Folks are very vocal bout hating this, but ratings disagree!

5. More premieres. We hear you and it's something we want. Partially not our call but we will definitely be pushing for that, promise.

6. Everything else. Some interesting suggestions re: Tom/Sara and formats/packaging, And LOTS and lots of show suggestions!

With the announcement that Hellsing Ultimate is coming to the block September 16th, it seems the crew is definitely listening. What do you guys think? Let us know by commenting below.
I give a facepalm out to all those who suggested “No more American Action”. Toonami was never, is not, and never will be an anime-only block. Anyone who says otherwise is NOT, I repeat, NOT a Toonami fan.
I cringed when I read that one… Toonami has always been an “Action Block”. I can always watch generic kawaii anime online, but action (and a little gore & drama) have always been what Toonami’s good at!!
I just hate the CG things, I love Cg…just not cheap CG.
That’s understandable.
Wait Im confused Deadman convinced them to go darker, and Black Lagoon says otherwise (because of ratings I assume). So who are these people who dont like or watch Black Lagoon? Do they exist or are they like Bigfoot and a unicorn?! People are so blind to quality entertainment nothing against Deadman (liked the show btw), but black lagoon has such good writing.
