New Anime Block Starts Tonight Cartoon Network

Silverhammer writes "Just a reminder that the new five-hour Saturday night Toonami block starts tonight on Cartoon Network. It includes the american premieres of three of Bandai's new (or at least newly dubbed) anime series: Yu Yu Hakusho (11pm EDT), Pilot Candidate (12pm), and Gundam 0083 (12:30pm)." Also in the list is old favs Tenchi, Bebop, and Outlaw Star as well as the non-anime but still cool Justice League, which I've been enjoying, but is it just me, or are there only like 4 episodes that they just keep looping? I'll be Tivo'ing each of the new shows for a few weeks in hopes that they are good. I'm still first in line to vote for a Toonami channel.

The really funny part of this is that Silverhammer isn't kidding.

Most of the time when they announce some old actor or director passing on, I may feel some tinge of sadness, but generally it is as if hearing about a stranger. Hearing about Chuck Jones made me incredibly sad, much more than I ever would expect. But I guess it makes sense, this man has defined so much of what we know about animation. He created idols that are essentially timeless. I'm very glad his work will live on, but I think this is one person we can all agree we shall miss.

Vulnerable teenage boys, and WSJ op-ed writers, and Federal Reserve chairmen, the list goes on. Can you imagine, there are actually grown men who believe in that Objectivist crap? They want to remake the world, in all its complexity, to fit their simple-minded theories. It's like they are perpetually two years old.
