Top Ten Anime That Toonami Should Air Next
Vote and add which anime that you think the Toonami block on Adult Swim that airs on Saturday nights should air next. I highly encourage series that Toonami hasn't aired yet.
Fate/Zero is a series of light novels written by Gen Urobuchi, illustrated by Takashi Takeuchi, and is a prequel to Type-Moon's visual novel, Fate/stay night. An anime adaptation of Fate/Zero was jointly produced by Aniplex, nitroplus, Type-Moon, Seikaisha, and Ufotable that ran from 2011-2012. With Tokyo Ghoul airing on Toonami finally becoming a reality, now I place Fate/Zero on top as the next anime series that should air on Toonami. What with the huge popularity of the Fate series internationally, it shouldn't be too hard to bring in ratings for Toonami by both appealing to Fate fans and action fans from the Toonami Faithful in the US.
Fate/stay night is a Japanese visual novel and anime series by Type-Moon. There are three story lines in the visual novel: Fate, Unlimited Blade Works, and Heaven's Feel. A 24-episode anime series based on the Fate route and a film based on the Unlimited Blade Works route were made by Studio Deen. A new 25-episode anime series based on the Unlimited Blade Works route was made by Ufotable, which is also making an upcoming film trilogy based on the Heaven's Feel route. Actually, let me try and correct this item to Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works for more accuracy.
Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic (Japanese: マギ, Magi) is a Japanese fantasy adventure manga series written and illustrated by Shinobu Ohtaka. It was serialized by Shogakukan in the shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Sunday from June 2009 to October 2017, with its chapters collected and published into 37 tankōbon volumes. The manga is licensed for English release in North America by Viz Media... read more
Aldnoah.Zero, stylized as ΛLDNOΛH.ZERO, is a mecha anime television and print series created by Olympus Knights and A-1 Pictures.
Also known as "Mirai Nikki," The Future Diary is a Japanese anime series that aired in 2011, based on a manga by Sakae Esuno. The show follows a high-school student who gains a diary that predicts the future and is forced into a deadly battle with other diary holders. The series has been praised for its gripping story and complex characters. They aired Deadman Wonderland, so why not Mirai Nikki?
Could've sworn they aired this already...
Psycho-Pass is an anime television series that was produced by Production I.G, directed by Naoyoshi Shiotani & Katsuyuki Motohiro and written by Gen Urobuchi.
Created by Reki Kawahara, Accel World is a 2012 anime series adapted from a light novel of the same name. It takes place in a future where people can connect to virtual networks, focusing on a bullied boy who gains the power to accelerate his mental time. The series has been lauded for its unique concept and intricate world-building. Totally loved Sword Art Online and Sword Art Online II! Now we need Accel World!
Tokyo Ghoul is a Japanese dark fantasy manga series written and illustrated by Sui Ishida. It was serialized in Shueisha's seinen manga magazine Weekly Young Jump between September 2011 and September 2014, and it has been collected in fourteen tankōbon volumes as of August 2014. It seems this list's wish has just come true, recently! Toonami just announced that they'll be pulling off One Piece from their current lineup and replacing it with Tokyo Ghoul on March 25 of this year in 2017. While it's sad One Piece has to leave the Toonami crew, at least fans finally got what they wanted with Tokyo Ghoul finally going to premiere on Toonami just in time for the April lineup!
I think they should start airing this after Parasyte -the maxim- ends.
Death Note is a Japanese television drama anime series based on the manga series of the same name by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata.
The show is centered around Light Yagami - a promising highschooler and aspiring detective with a strong sense of "justice". I know it aired on Adult Swim once, but wouldn't it be nice to actually have it officially air on the new Toonami block?
How could Toonami not have aired Death Note yet?
Berserk, also known as Sword-Wind Chronicle Berserk, is a Japanese anime television series that aired from 1997 to 1998. An adaptation of the manga Berserk, it comprises 25 half-hour episodes produced by Oriental Light and Magic and first aired on Nippon TV. Berserk is famous among the anime community. Considering its filled to the brim with gruesome action and badass characters, Berserk would definitely be a great addition to the Toonami lineup sometime in the future.
This is a really great show
Puella Magi Madoka Magica is a 2011 Japanese anime television series produced by Shaft and Aniplex, directed by Akiyuki Shinbo, written by Gen Urobuchi, music by Yuki Kajiura, opening sang by ClariS, ending by Kalafina (sometimes by the seiyuus) and original characters by Ume Aoki. I think Puella Magi Madoka Magica would do good for pulling in lots of ratings for the Toonami block. I mean, if they can show Sailor Moon, why can't they show Puella Magi Madoka Magica?
It should air like at 1:00 am on adult swim
My Hero Academia is a superhero manga series written and illustrated by Kōhei Horikoshi. It has been serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump since July 2014, and 20 volumes have been collected in tankōbon format. If they can air Black Clover on Toonami, why couldn't they have aired My Hero Academia as well? I understand Toonami has to compete with streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Crunchyroll, and the more recent Funimation streaming service, but if a Black Clover English dub is really being well-received on Toonami, then I don't see why they don't fight to acquire My Hero Academia for an English dub broadcast.
Well, like BoyGenius234 said, it's official. My Hero Academia is now officially part of the Toonami lineup as of May 2018.
Sailor Moon Crystal, known in Japan as Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal, is a 2014 original net animation adaptation of the shōjo manga series Sailor Moon written and illustrated by Naoko Takeuchi and produced in commemoration of the original series' 20th anniversary. Put sailor moon crystal on tsunami there's hot anime girls on the show.
Made by the same studio that gave us Kill la Kill? Instant pick for the Toonami lineup in the near future. Plus, mecha anime are always welcome on Toonami.
Fairy Tail is a manga franchise created by Hiro Mashima. The manga has been adapted into an anime series produced by A-1 Pictures and Satelight, which began broadcasting in Japan on October 12, 2009. Additionally, A-1 Pictures and Satelight have developed seven original video animations and an animated feature film, Fairy Tail the Movie: Phoenix Priestess. The series ended its initial run on March 30, 2013. A new series premiered on TV Tokyo on April 5, 2014. How is this not number one everyone wanted this since the revival of toonami
They've aired all the other big long running shounen Anime, Sooo what's the deal?
This needs to be on Toonami.
Trigun is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yasuhiro Nightow. The manga was serialized in Tokuma Shoten's Shōnen Captain in 1995 with three collected volumes when the magazine was discontinued in 1997. They did air trigun on the April fools prank and the did show the movie badlands rumble
Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt is a Japanese anime television series produced by Gainax, as well as a series of tie-in media developed around it. The series ran from October to December 2010 on BS Nittele. I might try to learn a lot about this. But somehow this show reminds me a lot of cartoon networks Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi in some of the wrongest ways possible - Gehenna
Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha is a Japanese anime television series directed by Akiyuki Shinbo, with screenplay written by Masaki Tsuzuki, and produced by Seven Arcs.
One Piece is a manga franchise created by Eiichiro Oda. The manga has been adapted into an original video animation (OVA) produced by Production I.G in 1998, and an anime series produced by Toei Animation, which began broadcasting in Japan in 1999 and has aired 851 episodes to date.
Powerpuff Girls Z is a Japanese magical girl anime series directed by Megumu Ishiguro, based on the American animated television series The Powerpuff Girls. The anime is co-produced by Cartoon Network Japan and Aniplex and was animated and produced by Toei Animation, featuring character design by Miho Shimogasa who is also the character designer of Cutie Honey Flash and Ultra Maniac and one of the animation directors of the Sailor Moon original anime franchise. As production occurred in Tokyo, Japan, Craig McCracken who is the original creator of The Powerpuff Girls was not directly involved with the project. ...read more. It's ridiculous that Cartoon Network has never aired this show. Adult Swim might as well do it instead. It would also be a great tie-in for the new Powerpuff Girls reboot.
Airing in Japan in 2003, F-Zero: GP Legend is an anime series based on Nintendo's racing video game franchise of the same name. The show centers around futuristic racing competitions on various planets. Though it was adapted for international audiences, the series was not as successful as its video game counterpart and was eventually cancelled.
Attack on Titan, also known as Shingeki no Kyojin in Japanese, created by Hajime Isayama, is one of the most popular Japanese anime series to be released. It was first watched in Japan during 2013 and was dubbed in English to be watched in America in 2014. It is best known for its emotional moments, apocalyptic setting, and its dramatic story line, and action packed scenes. Yeah too bad we have to wait a few manga arcs, guess we have Junior High
When the anime is ready to have season 2 Toonami needs to air it again
Dragon Ball Super is a Japanese anime television series produced by Toei Animation that began airing on July 5, 2015. It is a sequel show to the Dragon Ball manga and the first Dragon Ball television series featuring a new storyline in 18 years.
This is a parody spin-off of the well-known "Attack on Titan" series. Airing in 2015, it reimagines the original characters as middle school students in a comedy setting. While it maintains some elements from the main series, its tone is predominantly lighthearted and comedic. This would be something good to watch until season 2 of Attack On Titan
