Lets not waste a slot on a show that’s fully available dubbed online for free.

It's not really that big of a deal, they just double up on something they do have a dub of- Dr. Stone. I don't think we should intentionally stay behind if we can help it

At the end of the day, I think they are trying to stay current and not fall further behind the simulcasts. If they have to take a little hit on the 4th of July, so be it. The long game is what’s important. We can’t do things the old way anymore

I think it’s going to be a matter of knowing about certain shows and making deals before Funimation announces a streaming date. They also can’t keep up with FN if they have a day and date release with the sub because delays will happen. I don’t like though when Funimation forces us to stay behind, but that’s the best we can do to get their shows

I know, this is beyond dumb. They should've just put the schedule out last week with a TBD at midnight. It's not a bad thing to say a new show is coming at that timeslot- at least then you don't risk the whole nights DVR recordings being screwed up. I don't think a marathon is happening- they would've said something by now since that's not really a big "secret" like a new show is. If they spring that on us a week out- it's really going to piss people off (not that they care )

I think we’ll be fine without Super since it’s such an outlier, but AS may need to move FG to 11 if they want to stay competitive in that time slot

When I saw him approach Lalah on the dock, I was like "NO! Walk away right now! Don't even look at her! Trust me, nothing good will come of this"

Yeah I think they stand to lose more from a show like Squidbillies that they invest a lot in. Whereas if it was a newer show like the Jellies, Lazur Wolf, or Joe Pera, they’ll run it on s holiday weekend. One clue is that certain shows they’ll stream for free the Friday before and some they won’t. The biggest shows (Tyson, Robot Chicken, Rick and Morty) will not stream ahead and will usually take off holiday weekends. Plus the comedy crowd is more casual about their watching. Also, they have a set date for Robot Chicken and they need to make that line up. In the case of Toonami, the viewership is more steady and people are less likely to skip out because “holidays”. Plus we’ve whittled down viewership to such a low degree that the risk is less. Hiatuses will now more or less be used to position things where they need to be

Yeah, I’m going with that as well. The only reason we are a week out with announcements is because of deals closing last minute. If they were having a marathon, that would’ve been announced by now

Exactly, that’s why them having only a week out is stupid. We should know this by now and third party schedules take forever to update They do this because if you notice, they’ll change the weeknight lineup on a dime if they aren’t liking what they see s

The difference here is they have episode titles for the shows which come from the network. Whenever they and the cable guides fix this weeks- next weeks should also be updated. This is why this idiocy of only having a week out on the official schedule needs to stop Having a marathon will really mess with things when you have near simuldubs like this. At this point it makes more sense to take a little hit (but still probably beat everyone else that matters) than to cause damage that’ll last months

Outlaw Star is now officially gone as is Megalobox (although that happened some time ago)

With episode titles and everything? Is there a way for the public to see this?

I feel like they are just cheap. They don’t want to sink any advertising into the block and just want to get out of it what they can without significant advertising

My wife watched twin star exorcist last week and literally saw the Harry Potter ride at Universal ad 9 times an episode over and over.

One thing everyone needs to remember to is that in 2015 we had an all FOX lead in. They aren’t willing to do that anymore but I’d they were we’d have a higher start to the night

I mean can they at least have them tweet about it?

I really wish we’d get some promotion from him

We’ve asked Demarco several times with no response, I figured we’d actually get an answer here. You can tell these guys are super excited to have their show air

If anyone cares, they've also lost parts of HxH on the site I'd imagine the next series to completely go away will be Outlaw Star since they get most things from Funimation and Viz for 2 years Somehow, Lupin part 4 is hanging on..

I'm guessing that you're right. I was around during Columbine and of course 9/11 and theres always going to be things pulled in the immediate aftermath to allow people to grieve and not remind the public of horrifying events. Even after 9/11- Gundam (well 8th MS ) was back on the air within a month. This is a little more graphic and reminiscent of the fire however. It had to be pulled this week and talk of any plan to bring it back i just innapproriate the day after- they'll probably address it next week. As for Toonami, I actually was messaging with a friend of mine about hoe horrible and problematic it would be if that was the show they picked up and we agreed that there was no way they'd even be able to announce it now if that deal worked out. Whatever happens, they have the show now and they'll pick it up again right when it comes back- but it's not as easy to just drop it in right at that moment if they pick up something else. i guess we'll see..

Ok going by these results, I'd wager to say that programming was probably waiting to see how things were going before making a final decision on what to do, hence no scheudle yet beyond Gundam at 3:00 So I think we have several options depending upon if they have a new show and need/want it to start July 6th OPTION 1 -Leave lineup intact, putting on a new show at 12:00. Sub in one of the Rick and Morty's for a Family Guy at 9:30 (that they aren't using somewhere else so theirs no downside). MHA continues at 10:30 and the slot is dropped after the conclusion of the season OPTION 2 -Move MHA back to midnight, reinstate the 10:00 PM Family Guy hour, wait on an additional new show for now and replace MHA when it ends. This could slide back the intended order of their premieres depending on what else they have lined up Either way, it's increasingly obvious that they need a double Family Guy lead in to the block for it to have a decent start. I don't know why they don't realize that by now.

Well if we had that kind of lead in to Toonami we'd probably at least have Super in the 900k-1 million range

So this situation with MHA leading at 10:30 has got me thinking that the ultimate plan may to try and inch back to a 10pm start time and have the block end at 3. For some reason I have a feeling about this In this scenerio, HxH will be replaced by a new show that airs at 11 and MHA and DBS are moved back.... I'm hoping that they realize the error of their ways and add an hour of Family Guy back in and sacrifice the Super encore or a Rick and Morty.

Come on man don’t encourage them to do that! This is the glorious 5 month vacation from marathons.
