Breaking News In Anime-Naruto (The Original Series) To Return To Toonami On December 1st!!!!

November 23, 2012

Naruto14

Hello and greetings fellow otaku,

I hope that you had an awesome Thanksgiving day and that Black Friday didn’t wear you out. But I hope you are sitting down because I got a bit of breaking news that you can call some what of a special early Christmas present for all us good Otaku out there.

It was officially announced that Cartoon Network Toonami Block will be bringing back Naruto (The Original Series) back to the block starting next Saturday December 1st 2012 at 12:30pm Eastern\ 11:30pm Central. This will be replacing Tenchi Muyo GXP which will be moving to 1pm Eastern\ 12pm Central. But this is not the only change that will be made to the schedule in which Tenchi returned a few weeks ago to the block. The following is the new schedule that will start next week (All Times Eastern).

12pm: Bleach

12:30pm: Naruto (Replacing Tenchi Muyo GXP, moving to 1am)

1pm: Tenchi Muyo GXP (Replacing  Samurai 7, moving to 2am)

1:30pm: Thundercats

2am: Samurai 7 (Replacing Sym-Bionic Titan, moving to 2:30pm)

2:30pm: Sym-Bionic Titan (replacing Eureka 7, moving to 3am)

3am: Eureka 7 (Replacing first episode of the double airing of Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood)

3:30am: Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood

4-5am: Cowboy Bebop

5-6am: Inuyasha

Source: Anime News Network

Did I also mention that the episodes will be airing UNCUT!!!! Yes, for the first time in the 4 years since the original series ended back in 2008 (Right around when the original Toonami block ended). So even if it’s your first time watching or if you were a fan from the get go like myself, you will enjoy watching this series the way it was ment to be seen.

But your probably wondering why Naruto Shippuden isn’t airing on Toonami, well that series is still under contract with Disney XD who currently has the broadcast rights to it. Even though they haven’t aired any new episodes in recent years, I don’t see why they can’t give the rights to Cartoon Network. It would be awesome to see them both together and completely uncut. But it pretty much a long shot to see that happen.

But all in all, this is going to be a great time for all anime fans. So until next time, remember that there is a ton of great anime and manga out there. All you have to do is find it. Ltrs.

Breaking News In Anime-Fushigi Yugi To Be Re-Released By Media Blasters In April 2012!!!!

January 12, 2012

fushigi_yuugi_01

Hello and greetings fellow Otaku,

Well here is the first piece of good anime news for the new year!!!!! Recently Media Blasters, the company behind such popular anime series such as Genshiken, Rurouni Kenshin, Bakuman and many others has announced that they are going to re-releasing  the first season of the popular animated series Fushigi Yugi: The Mysterious Play this April.

While no other information has been released as to when the box set will be published, it is understood that the new box set will be more affordable than the original box sets that were originally released by Pioneer\Geneon back in the early 2000’s for around $200!!!!!

Personally, I have been waiting for another company to re-release this series for a while now. I wanted to buy the original box sets but they were too expensive. Hopefully, more fans of this series will be able to afford to pick this up. So thank you Media Blasters, you totally kick some major A**!!!!!

And in an un-related story, I was just able to obtain the first two volumes of Batgirl (The New 52) from DC Comics from a great comic book website known as Lonestar Comics!!!!! Lonestar Comics is a great place to find new, rare and hard to find comics including hard to find issues of “The New 52”. I already have volumes three and four in my possession and with volume 5 being released this month, I plan on giving you guys my first impressions of the series within the next few weeks.
