According to Toonami's tumblr, Evangelion: 2.22 You Can (Not) Advance will air on August 31st. Apart from this, there's also a "special little goodie" that viewers will find out about on 31st.

Evangelion 2.22 is the second of four films in Hideaki Anno's re-make of the famous Neon Genesis Evangelion anime series. It originally premiered in theaters in Japan on July 27, 2009 and internationally at the Hawaii International Film Festival on October 24, 2009. The third film, Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo, is currently being screened at the Jpop Summit Festival 2013 in San Francisco.

Cool, I guess I might give this a try :3

Still can't wait for EVA 4 to debut in the future though.

The obvious "goodie" will be a BD/DVD release date for the third movie.

In 2.22? It's pretty straightforward what's happening there.

Glad Toonami is finally showing some more recent anime and how did they get there hands on SAO? Imho I think they did great job with the English Dub cant wait to see it all done.

To know what is right and choose to ignore it is the act of a coward.↓↓

Funimation probably did a deal with them to show it on Cartoon Network. For Funi getting it on TV is a big deal, as it could be a huge block buster (as it is already in anime fandom) but not so much as a big deal for Cartoon Network.

The dub was provided on DVD/Blu-ray since 2011. Not sure how you would not know that.
Though I haven't heard it in its entirety, but (according to what I've read in some posts on Evageeks forums) it turns out that the dub had some swear words that might not be heard on Toonami's airing. (I did recall seeing Evangelion 2.22 on the Funimation channel months ago (so yeah, Toonami's not the first airing), but at that point, I did not hear what was re-dubbed or edited.)

Pleaseeeeeeee this year.

I'd definitely say 2014. Sorry, mate, but that should be how it works considering how it was done for 1.11 and 2.22 (waiting a year after Japan's Blu-ray/DVD release)

Recently, Aniplex was able to do a bit of cooperation with Toonami. Aniplex at one point asked viewers what they want to be aired on Toonami: either this (I think), Fate/Zero (dub is now exclusive on Neon Alley) or Gurren Lagann (do want.)

I agree that showing 2.22 is awesome, and I too want to hear about this special surprise, but this news is missing something. According to Crunchyroll, Star Wars Clone Wars will be replacing Eureka 7 in two weeks. I don't care what Toonami says, they're synonymous with airing popular ANIME! And by the way, Toonami rejected both Tiger & Bunny and Panty & Stocking to air this Clone Wars garbage!

Clone Wars is a pretty good show, not sure why you are hating on it.

Congratulations you can check it online... Which is what everybody else on this site can do as well. It's not about impressing people who torrent this shit illegally, it's about bringing in viewers and ratings.

It's great news that Eva 2.22 is going to air on Toonami! Eva 1.11 did really well back in March with little advertisement, so 2.22 should do fine with promos airing a week or so before it airs. If 2.22 does well, they will show more movies such as 3.33. They talked about a "special goodie" back in March when 1.11 aired and it was just some music videos, so don't get your hopes up. But, they may have something really exciting planned!

As for Clone Wars, they already owned the rights to it and its new to Toonami. If it doesn't do well on the block, its not a huge loss. If it does well, all its going to do is bring more profit in to acquire more shows to broadcast.

Subbed anime on TV lead to bad ratings, which will lead to Toonami's demise, which will eventually lead to the death of anime on TV. Subtitled anime is never going to happen on Toonami or any other network that's not made to show foreign programming.

Toonami has always been dubs so you're basically saying you never accepted them to begin with.

Ain't gonna happen. Toonami was always providing dubs for Anime since the beginning, cause... it's aired on an American channel, on a kid's channel no less (despite Toonami/Adult Swim airing some content intended for older audiences late at night), so... yeah, no chance of Original Language with subtitles on Toonami.

... and fyi, some dubs aren't always considered "sacrilege". There are a few good ones that can be as entertaining as the original. Yes, I know many would prefer the original, but when one option is only provided for the time being, better get used to dubbing, then.

... or buy it on DVD/Blu if one would not want to use streaming. ... can be a bit more handy than streaming when you think about it.

The Toonami staff said it themselves that subbed anime will never happen and would cause a ratings nightmare. If Toonami doesn't get enough good ratings, say goodbye to it and any new anime pickups on Adult Swim.

If you want subbed anime, Toonami is not the place for you. Places such as Hulu, Crunchyroll, and Daisuki are the places to go for that. All of those sites are free and money will go to the anime industry when you watch episodes there.

Oh well.

This is great news anyway! I loved Evangelion 1.11. They aired it on Toonami earlier this year, I believe.
Dissapointed that the thing replacing Eureka Seven is Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Was hoping for Eureka Seven AO. Guess it was too soon. Oh well. I heard they are skipping some Clone Wars episodes. Would've preferred if they aired the older Genndy Tartakovsky Clone Wars, and not the CGI one.

I have a feeling they will, but:
1) English dub has to be announced
2) American Blu-ray/DVD would be released first
3) Wait either less than a year or more than a year from the DVD/Blu-ray release to be seen on Toonami.

Does that have something to do with the voicing and stuff, if so then could it be that the people from America are not of listening to any foreign languages?

Totally agree, would have much preferred Eureka Seven AO, and I really thought that they were going to do it since they re-aired Eureka Seven so soon after AO was announced that I thought they were definitely planning to smoothly run them back-to-back. Perhaps it really is just too soon since the first set is only just coming out in August or maybe it will be the next addition and they just didn't want to run it starting in the summer?

I enjoyed Clone Wars, it was ok, but always prefer anime over other additions if possible.

that would make sense but I doubt it since if it was an actually release date or even a trailer for 3.33 then Funi would be hyping the special that comes on after 2.22. And Funi hasn't been promoting much, they only mentioned it once on the main site with no mention of the special, on face book they mention it more times but call it a special screening of 2.22 which doesn't mention a special coming on afterwards, on twitter they mention it will be airing but no mention of a special. So if it was a 3.33 release date or trailer they would be promoting the special in addition to 2.22 in all likely hood it is something related to Toonami like a new show or something. Would be cool if it was a announcement for adding NGE to the line up.
