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.

They need to stop being so secrective with the schedule and have something official that goes at least 2-3 weeks out. I don’t know why they do this. I know they have last minute changes, but this is basic stuff

I think it’ll be on Hulu in a few weeks if you’re interested in that. They may have taken it down from YT when the home video release happened

I think it’ll be June for the simple reason that launching the show right before MD would probably not be the best move. If they can forgo a 4th marathon again this year, they can knock out the whole 2nd half in one go without a break

You really want IBO back don’t you lol? You know they have the whole thing on GundamInfo on YouTube?

That’s just the way it’s going to have to go if we need to slot Titan in there AND have a replacement for Megalo. We can’t be too upset for the “old timers” to get pushed late. Their audiences will find them My biggest fear is that they’ll either rerun Megalo at 1 or put another rerun in that slot until Titan is ready

Just going to put this out there: Bravo and TLC aired new episodes of all their shows last night. They cater even more to an audience that would be “busy” for the holidays. Do you guys think it’s more of a Saturday thing?

Besides Rick and Morty they have very few options with programming Saturdays it seems. They have a limited number of American Dads and Bobs Burgers to use and they need very single one of them to program primetime during the week, especially with KOTH and Cleveland gone. I don't remember the setup from before, but they used to be able to use 2 of each every Saturday in 2015/16 leading into Family Guy which really bolstered the block up. If they really are serious about winning in primetime, they need these shows because nothing they own has ever worked in prime time. Its just not mainstream enough for that audience. I fully expect the first week or two of this schedule to not do as well because of the Ballmastrz episodes and the fact that the comedy crowd will take some time to return after being totally off of Saturdays for 3 months. Once the inevitable Rick and Morty replaces the BM in 2 weeks, we could see the block get propped up a little bit more. Super will no doubt benefit from Family Guy in front of it, but are we still going to see an immediate huge drop going into Boruto? Possibly but I hope not

I can see it being a major annoyance to those of don’t have anything special to do over the holidays or any time off from work. Especially if Toonami is one of the main things you have to look toward yo everyweek. That being said, I’m in that category, but I’m just going to use the time to play games and watch other things. I also don’t watch all my recorded Toonami in the weeks leading up. I save it to get me through the off time

That’s been my thing. Ratings can’t really be used as an excuse anymore since they are so low anyway. All year we’ve been told how they aren’t as important anymore and we had a TG weekend lineup that did normal. The only thing I can see is if they need to use it for programming needs or as a cost saving measure. And yes, AS does usually run originals on most holiday weekends for a lot if their 11 minutes shows, but actually skipped a week for LD when Rick and Morty was airing last year. They would stand to lose a lot for a show like that, but it’s gettig harder and harder to say the same thing for Toonami. It’s just riskier because they only get one shot to air something

While the average is pretty low and similar to last week, many of the individual timeslots did significantly better head to head. Im thinking IBO could do under 100k as a regular thing. It’s an odd thing to air at 3am. That’s where you think you’d put episodic casual things like PTE and Jack. It would probably be better paired with Titan in the 2am hour
