| Nice picks. |
| well, it won't change the outcome of this anime. We all know how Akame Ga Kill going to end anyway.. -_- |
 |
| Akame ga Kill is perfect for Adult Swim |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |

JoseiQueen said: Haven't seen Akame Ga Kill. Should I watch it? From what I understand, it's a show about never having favorite characters. If you don't watch it now, I would assume there to be a lot of fuss over it in the preceding months full of rage and spoilers. That being said, I assume there was already a phase of that when it originally aired. Either marathon it now to be ahead of the game, or wait until it's dubbed to rage in English. Although, unless they were already dubbing it but never announced it, there's only two months between now and when it airs. I wonder how that's gonna work. Anyways, I'm glad to hear about Michiko to Hatchin getting attention. It has been around for years and its dub is quite something. I hope it's well-received. |
| Michiko to Hatchin is worth the watch but Akame not so much. Hatchin was created by the same producers (Shinichirō Watanabe) of Cowboy Bebop iirc so their art style is some what similar. |
| Well Akame ga Kill is a perfect little package made for western audience so it's no surprise that it will air on Toonami. |
| Disappointed in Mitchiko and Hatchin. Was hoping they'd get Psycho Pass or Blood Blockade Battlefront instead. I feel like it'll get lackluster ratings. I think I'm more excited about Toonami and Sentai are working together rather than the announcement of Akame Ga Kill itself. Akame is a good choice because it fits well. I just hated the last 5 episodes. |
THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE |
| Why akame ga kill ;/ |
| huh |
| Good news Michiko to Hatchin is the best I really love it everytime hana must try to deal with unmatured behavior of michiko Akame ga kill is suck The whole story is mess |
 |
| If Sentai dubs Akame ga Kill I will suffocate them with my weiner |

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| AgK was a good series, until the last episodes [SPOILER]FUCKING ROBOT |
| Michiko to Hatchin is such a damn good series and is done by the protogee of shinichiro wattanabe(bebop, samurai champloo, dandy) and its a really worthy successor that stands up on its own two feet. Its actually possible it could appeal to people who dont even like watannabe's stuff too. Also the dub is top notch |
Immahnoob said: Jizzy, I know you have no idea how to argue for shit, tokiyashiro said: Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Damn shame that i don't have Adult swim where i live. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| They're putting Akame ga Kill on Toonami, and it's licensed by Sentai.... That gives me hope that we'll soon be seeing Angel Beats on Toonami! |
| Akame ga Kill... God help us all. |
 |
| well this is interesting, didn't know AGK was this popular |
| How long until season 3 of Spice and Wolf? The World May Never Know. |

| added the fourth most popular anime onto this site |
| meh, dropped akame ga kill cuz characters were crazy, but if it's getting a dub on toonami, it can be given a second chance |

| Ever since Bleach ended Toonami has been MEH, DBZ made it a bit better thou :) |
 |
| Akame ga Kill is garbage, but it's definitely the type of show edgy western teens would enjoy, so I get why it's airing. Michiko and Hatchin is pretty decent, and I'm surprised that they're airing it. It isn't particularly popular. |
HidamariSeashore said: With that dub? I don't think so.They're putting Akame ga Kill on Toonami, and it's licensed by Sentai.... That gives me hope that we'll soon be seeing Angel Beats on Toonami! |

| I'll watch both shows. |

| OMG I'm literally screaming two of my favorite anime's being dubbed YASSS I hope Chelsea & Michiko get great voice actresses :D HYPEEE! Can't wait! |
| I personaly find "Michiko to Hatchin" to be better than "Samurai Champloo" , yet it's certainly not even close to be as popular . So if it means that more people will discover it and watch it , it's a damn good news . |

CliqProfil4Nudes said: Michiko to Hatchin is worth the watch but Akame not so much. About sums it up. Nice to see it will get some publicity, it's a fun show. |
| Ew to both. |
 |
Crips said: I hear Michiko to Hatchin sounds better in English dub due to the fact of the language Michiko uses and attitude.. I haven't finished the anime, since I couldn't find the rest of the dub. I need to watch more tv!Ew to both. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Woah. That's pretty cool. |

EvenJellyOn said: I Agree. Angel Beats can't fit on a action block,heck I've heard some people saying they Want K-ON on the lineup,and I said really? I don't think a girly show should fit on a action block. It's better if Disney gets K-ON. Now Persona 4 or Log Horizon, those are good fits on toonami.darkyandererdomo said: Waaaaah I Wish Australia Had more anime the only anime that ever aired/airing the I Know is Vampire knight sword art online death note attack on Titan Naruto one piece Pokemon fruit basket Oran high school host club modoka magica Cheez/Toasted had some more then you didn't list.

| WE ARE BACK BABY!-Ani-Comedy's Return on Cartoon Network.(a fanmade block I made up.) |
| Been wanting to watch Michiko to Hatchin for a while now, so this is good news. |
 |
| Great for Toonami. I'm sure many people are going to enjoy Michiko and Akame. Plus Michiko had an amazing dub. |
