He's only producing. They're still looking for a writer and director.

Incidentally, Tiger & Bunny is one of the candidates for the next Goonami show! I'll discuss it tomorrow.

i'm sorry, i'm having difficulty comprehending this

are we talking about the same Ron Howard that directed Apollo 13 and Frost/Nixon, and starred on Happy Days and The Andy Griffith Show, or some other Ron Howard that i've never heard of

and we're talking about this person producing a live-action, feature-length motion picture based on a Japanese cartoon in which super heroes are sponsored by corporations like Pepsi



because I'm having some difficulty wrapping my mind around this, mostly the part where someone looked at those details and said to themselves and others "This sounds like something that we should totally invest multiple millions of dollars into"

If you must blink, do it now.
Glad the new Hunter x Hunter anime's finally getting a US distributor.

I think it's a good fit for Toonami but they'll probably want to emphasize the darker aspects of the show in the promo materials. I could see a lot of Toonami regulars writing it off as too cutesy based off the first couple episodes.

I'd also see them waiting until at least after DBZ Kai to run it, since I can see the block easily becoming stagnant with four long-running shows on it.

i didn't say he's not; i'm simply somewhat puzzled as to why someone tapped Ron Howard of all people to produce a movie based on an anime. Or, alternatively, why Ron Howard chose to push for this concept (as in, it's some kind of pet project of his that he's only just recently gotten enough support to go ahead with.) admittedly, i know next to nothing about T&B aside from the most basic summary of its premise, so maybe everyone else knows something about this that i don't

*Footage of Gon catching the big fish at the beginning.*

Deep-Voiced Narrator: "His name is Gon. His goal: to be a hunter."

*Gon saying he wants to be a hunter like his father, close-up shot of Ging's photograph.*

Narrator: "But in this world, nothing is as it seems."

*Navigators taking hostages, dudes getting lost/killed in Swindler's Swamp, Tonpa offering our heroes a drink.*

Narrator: "There's danger around every corner."

*Hisoka on the prowl on Zevil Island, Kurapika saying he wants revenge for his people (cutting to a brief, brief shot of Chrollo conducting the symphony of destruction).*

Narrator: "And small things can surprise you."

*Killua straight-up ripping out a guy's heart, "Give it back!"*

Narrator: "It's a hard road, but Gon's up to it."

*Gon getting kicked by Hanzo saying he can't quit now.*

Narrator: "With a little help from his friends."

*Leorio and Kurapika saving Gon from going overboard, Leorio saying something funny.*

Narrator: "Hunter x Hunter."

*Gon smiles.*

Narrator: "Only on Toonami."

If you are familiar with actual western superheroes, T&B is about a world where every superhero (except one) is Booster Gold and just wants fame. It is A Good Show.

LAST WEEK ON TOONAMI

Dragon Ball Z Kai: Goku's back at the battle! But Frieza killed Vegeta. With his final breath, Vegeta tells Goku through flashbacks to a movie that Frieza killed ALLLLL of the Saiyans except for like 8 of them. Goku's like "Oh no you didn't" and Frieza gonna get hosed up.

Parasyte: Shinichi is just a normal guy except now he has a body horror parasite in his hand. And now he's gotta fight other gross parasites! GROSS!

Michiko and Hatchin: An assassin comes after Michiko and challenges her to see who can kill the other first.

One Piece: FILLER. Tonight's the last filler. For now. Six episodes after this, we are going to get the most filler.

LAST WEEK ON GOONAMI

Baccano!: Everything ended. Happy birthday!

FOUR EPISODES TONIGHT STARTING AT 10. We're watching episode 1 and the three OVA episodes.
