| 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. Source: Toonami Tumblr Profile, ANN Story by Dunois |

| Cool, I guess I might give this a try :3 Still can't wait for EVA 4 to debut in the future though. |
 |
| And nobody will understand what's going on but pledge fandom to the series. Huzzah. |
| "special little goodie" Sword Art Online season two? Nyehnyehnyeh. |
\_/ O \_/ / \ \ / /¯\ O /¯\ |
| The obvious "goodie" will be a BD/DVD release date for the third movie. |
| Toonami keeps getting better and better! |
 |
| I already saw this YEARS ago, lol. |

| 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.↓↓  |
| Great news for Toonami. |

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. |
| I will be watching...I didn't even know it was dubbed. |
| I call the 'goodie' being the announcement for the DVD/BR release of 3.33 in America. Pleaseeeeeeee this year. |
| Looking forward to the English Dubbing |
| I'am Thou And Thou Art I...And we're a HAPPY FAMILY!!! |

| I already OWN this, the only thing that'd make me watch it with commercials is the "special little goodie" and even that I can get by checking in online. Toonami... You're gonna have to step up the game if you wanna impress me. |

| 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! |
| more publicity more potential profit for the anime makers to make more anime |
| 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. |

Pleaseeeeeeee this year. itll be announced only for funi to push the date back a month haha. i guess they could throw in a trailer/release date for 3.33, which i already have anyway will watch. great movie. |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |

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

| If I have to listen to something like Goku's annoying squealing voice on Toonami, then sayonara to Japanese audio. |
 Are you the bloody applause monkey? Keep your sh*t comments to yourself or go troll on 4chan. |

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. |
| I guess finally done with re runs of DBZ? cool I guess |
| They should air the 3rd one |

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? |

| Hoping the surprise is Toonami airing NGE again. |
 |
| not a bad move there toonami |
Kyoycz said: The obvious "goodie" will be a BD/DVD release date for the third movie. 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. |

| Yup, it's going to run tonight: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-08-31/evangelion-2.22-runs-on-adult-swim-toonami-tonight I'll pass on this though since I have seen the movie before. |

| I am currently watching this now, they are also showing kick heart! tonight! |
