This year's adult swim April Fools prank is to replace its usual block with a version of one of the old Toonami lineups. I'm watching antique anime, especially a random episode of Tenchi Muyo, with this look on my face: o.O

I was out later than I expected and didn't tape what might have been an actual new episode of Bleach bat midnight because I expected it to replay as usual at 4 a.m. Oh well.

Toonami played, according to Wikipedia, Dragon Ball Z #191, Gundam Wing #10, Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki #19, Outlaw Star #25, Big O #1, Yu Yu Hakusho #110, Blue Submarine #6 #1, Trigun #23, the original Astro Boy #1, and Gigantor #1.

I mean, how many times are they going to replay Cowboy Bebop, FLCL, and Ghost in the Shell? (And why won't they replay Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, which they barely replayed? Did they lose the rights?) I especially enjoyed Blue Sub #6, even though its integration of hand-drawn and digital animation is far from seamless (but look how old it is, so ( ... )
