Toonami Channel in 2013 with DBZ

Post by Avenged » Tue Sep 04, 2012 8:55 pm

Seems Asia will be getting an exclusive Toonami channel in early 2013 which will also air Dragonball Z.

Wouldn't adding "Asian Toonami channel..." to the title be more informative than now with that, it might make US Toonami fans think DBZ is returning to their US Toonami channel.

Anyway, if Cartoonito is anything like the Spanish one, it's boring as hell, even for kids.

There isn't a Toonami channel in the US. There is only a small block on Saturday nights on Adult Swim, which is on Cartoon Network. And it has already been stated that DBZ would not be in this block.

I guess Kai's time really is over; it feels kind of unusual to see Z popping up again.
On hiatus.

That's good for those countries.

I doubt that the US Toonami block will be following suit, though.

Kai was rushed/cancelled, had a variable quality of picture (from good to great -- during Friеza's arc) and the music scandal didn't help neither. I just take the good bits I've liked of Kai, which was Saiyan arc to Friеza's arc, the rest I don't care.

Oops, I forgot Toonami wasn't a channel itself in US. :P

Well, this makes me sad. I would really like to see DBZ back here. I would have really thought that there would be a Toonami channel here in the US before there would be one in Asia. :(
