It's good for attracting new fans to anime i guess. For the seasoned anime watcher who has had the internet at his disposal for years its useless....

YES. SO MUCH...YES. Im assuming they chose Cash and Deadman because theres enough episodes to last them long enough to get more money to air another show. Soul Eater has enough. I mean if they can show all 50 Eureka Seven eps (twice, i might add) they can get SOUL EATER which at least matches the "WTF" and "derp" shit that Adult swim seems to enjoy.

in that case, what they REALLY need is bakemonogatari.

They played my favorite GITS:SAC 2nd Gig episode last week, that kid is such a loser...

I don't know how long this new iteration will or can hold out, the guy running the thing says they don't really have money. You kinda need money to make things worthwhile. The timeslot doesn't do it any favors as well. One of the things the new "Toonami" needs is a killer app. Back then, the old Toonami had two: Gundam Wing and the 800 pound Gorilla named Dragon Ball Z. Maybe Panty and Stocking could be that, considering how utterly outrageous it is. Certainly Funimation thinks something could be gained hence the push to get it on the block.

I'll be watching and hoping something comes of it, but i'm skeptical.

And they could call some of us here to make new promos for the shows.

I did watch Toonami as a kid (DBZ, Gundam Wing and Tenchi), but yes..i don't get nostalgic about it, i just see it as something from the past that has no reason to be in the future. As for new stuff, why would you wait 1 week for a new episode of Soul Eater or w/e when you can download the bluray and watch it whenever you please?

Because Toonami makes everything better, duh.
