Toonami Confirms IGPX Anime’s Return

Cartoon Network’s Toonami anime block is preparing for a bunch of changes late next month. Among them are a brand new TOM, a new Absolution, and a new overall on-air look. More details to come at a later date, but Toonami’s Tumblr provided another reason to get amped: IGPX is returning.

The co-production between Production I.G and Cartoon Network was first broadcast in 2005, following a 2003 series of short episodes. The dub boasted some Hollywood talent, too, like Haley Joel Osment as Takeshi Jin, Michelle Rodriguez as Liz, and Lance Henriksen as Andrei Rublev.

Here’s what the Toonami crew had to say about the show’s April 27 return:

Couple points: We will be very slightly shuffling the lineup to fit IGPX. We’ll announce that exact schedule closer to the 27th. It will most likely involve removing one episode of Bebop, taking us to a half hour weekly. Also, for those Megas XLR fans out there wondering if this means we can bring back Megas…. we can’t, sorry. Simply put, it’s a very different animal, and the exact elements that made IGPX’s return possible are not in place for Megas.

Who’s excited about watching IGPX again or for the first time?
