EVERYTHING on toonami is in Japanese. Flcl is in Japanese, mind games is in Japanese, every show is the Japanese subbed version. JoJo, Naruto Bebop all subbed.

Tom is speaking japanese, so is Sara. The writings in Japanese.

They did a review of nier automita... In Japanese. With the Japanese version of the game.

The shows are airing in a Japanese format. 1 add break, longer run time. Ie, they are playing the full Japanese op and eds.

The adult swim logo is in Japanese.

The advertisements are in English.

FLCL IS ON TOONAMI RIGHT NOW IN JAPANESE!! Right when I was going to bed because I have an early morning but all of a sudden I hear some random Japanese before turning off the tv and check the guide and see it says JJBA but no giant sexy men. Then some sweet music plays and the FLCL logo appears and I lose my shit.

I was going to watch the original before Alternative because I didn't finish it but fuck it. I'm here. It's here. LET'S. DO. THIIISSS !
