    "Toonami" News & Discussion Thread

    Lycoris doesn’t end till mid April so they can afford to wait another week or two before making any announcements. I sincerely hope the first 4 of your options are wrong because they are all awful. That said, I do think a partial rerun of MHA S6 will happen when Ninja Kamui ends to hold the 12...

    “Checkered Past” News & Discussion

    That’s more a result of there just being no other home for anime on cable. Personally, I think if it was 20 years ago, MHA probably would have been an ASA show just so they wouldn’t have to edit it and because the fan demographic for it in the US skews older. I do recall when it was new, Funi...

    “Checkered Past” News & Discussion

    There is a very good reason - advertising. By having the block on AS, they can run more lucrative adult ads. You are right, if they could dump CM entirely they probably would. The problem is, there is nothing that can be done. They could stick one of you guys in charge and just let you go wild...

    “Checkered Past” News & Discussion

    Here’s the difference - people still like and watch AS. It’s currently one of the top rated networks on all of cable. YOU may not like its direction, and that’s fine. But plenty of other people do, so they are clearly doing something right. CN just has no audience now. The years and years of...

    “Checkered Past” News & Discussion

    Beyond redemption? Absolutely. For a number of years now. Deserves to die? Not how I would put it. Think of it like a beloved pet that is very old and very sick. You love them, and you remember the good times, but you understand they are suffering and nothing can be done to ease that besides...

    “Checkered Past” News & Discussion

    What would someone new do? The issues with Cartoon Network cannot be fixed with a snap of the fingers. The audience for the network was driven off many years ago, and are long past the point of being willing to come back. That’s kinda the reason Checkered Past became a thing. People haven’t...

    The New Toonami Ratings Thread (now with more civility!)

    This weeks rerun chart hasn’t dropped yet so there is still a slim chance Ninja Kamui made it this time around. I think the blocks biggest issue is the huge gap between the 11:30 Rick and Morty and midnight. 11:30 is doing like 230-250k every week. Then Toonami starts and it crashes to...

    Rick And Morty Anime In Development

    They stealth premiered S3 way back in the day and that’s when R&M was still at its peak, so no reason they couldn’t do that for a side projects that there isn’t much enthusiasm for. If nothing else, a 1 episode sneak peek might drum up some excitement for the fall when it drops. Off the top of...

    Rick And Morty Anime In Development

    Kind of surprised they are releasing anything else right now considering they would likely default to stealth clip premiers for April Fools. Unless they are planning to drop full episodes of shows this year like in 2020.

    "Toonami" News & Discussion Thread

    I highly expect one. It was a very tall order for them to have made one for last week. Basically one working day to get Blum and Dana recorded and make a compilation to go with it. This Saturday they will have had a full week to put something together to go with the very short notice marathon.

    "Toonami" News & Discussion Thread

    Funimation dug their own grave. Crunchyroll has its own share of problems, but they did not waste time whipping the kinks out of Funimation almost immediately. Figured they would do something in honor of Toriyama, but didn’t expect them to put something together this fast. Glad it’s not going...

    "Toonami" News & Discussion Thread

    They posted a small tribute on Facebook that will no doubt also air during the block. With only 1 business day of notice, I doubt there will be anything more than that this week. I think next week would be the better chance of them doing an actual send off with TOM and Sara.

    "Toonami" News & Discussion Thread

    They deleted the first graphic and replaced it with a corrected one. Anyway, did not expect to see Zom 100. We are finally getting that desperately needed block diversity that we have needed for years. I assume the next season of Demon Slayer is either too fresh, and thus too expensive, or...

    The New Toonami Ratings Thread (now with more civility!)

    Last episode of Demon Slayer is 45 minutes so they will have to tweek the schedule. Hopefully they drop OP for the night rather than Lycoris.

    The New Toonami Ratings Thread (now with more civility!)

    In 2018 Toonami landed on April 1st and they bought every post midnight show (except IBO) in its subbed form. TOM and Sara were also redubbed with Japanese VAs. Unfortunately, Toonami doesn’t fall on April Fools again till 2029, so no anime related jokes for a long time. If it came down to...
