They really need to. Super isn't edited to kids standards so why is it in a slot for kids to watch?

We'll see. I think Toonami is expanding because comedy isn't really doing much better on either end. Plus they made a big deal about EXPANSION We may just shift and go later

Just st so everyone knows, they fixed the Titan episode so this week Episode 6, "Warrior" is playing and the run will proceed as normal.

I don't know. They just made a big deal about EXPANSION.,

Is it HD? That would officially make Trigun a Toonami show

I wonder how many kids avenues TOEI shopped it around to before settling for AS. They still believe in the power of a TV deal so I doubt streaming was ever a consideration for them

I know right ? Why the smoke and mirrors for this? Something has to be happening with the Titan thing. They just announced an expansion so SOMETHINGS gotta happen with that. If Titan is skipping to the end, then we should get some other classic at 3:30 the next week. It can't be anything new in that timeslot obviously

I don't think at 3am it matters anymore. We may even go back to 6 hours at this rate.

Yeah I don't see why that has to be so hush hush. It's just dragging out something they have in their library. No more different than a classic AS show popping up on the grids. I guess.. the power of an announcement

That's great... the Super deal that gives the distributor all the power and kneecaps Toonami's ratings every week. Money well spent I think we are heading back to the all night thing again. Big O will probably replace Titan and then in the fall the block will shift back to 11:30 or midnight and it'll go into 5 This is also keeping with the "classics" thing AS is doing on the other nights if the week

So we're getting Bebop at 3:00 am and Toonami is expanding to 4. That's what they were hiding

People were asking for Jojo and Ghoul in 2015. They may have done better then. Once the hype dies down don't pick something up just because it's on the request backlog.

You are 100% dead on. Its time for Toonami to make hits out of the unknown again. It won't always work, but its better than these shows that are late to the party so to speak. Start raiding the simuldub closet guys! There are some great shows out there that Toonami could actually help get wider exposure.

Oh he sad it might lose topicals, don't know what to make of that. If they are waiting until DC to announce something, then this is the same problem as Jojo. This whole thing of keeping people in the dark until the last minute needs to stop. The fact that we still don't have the schedule for 9/9 is absurd. Haven't watched preflight since it stopped really being about Toonami.

I think their wasn't a topical this week because of the marathon. A new one should air this week. Super is what happens when you take the premeire away from Toonami and drive your largest audience away from the block. Someone at FUNimation should move on TOEI to get this situation under control. You let a distruibutor call the shots who only care about how THEIR show does and this is what you get.

I literally have PI Twitter alerts on my phone just so I can see the Saturday Nationals right when they come in. Highlight of my day

We'll have a slot for a new show in January after Lupin, but IBO is going to lock up that slot until April and Jojo until NEXT August. Kai should end in July This Super BS needs to stop. Just let them premere the show in Toonami already. Kids know how a DVR works and they'll still watch it there.

I think it can stay for now, but if they get Boruto later down the line they may end up parting ways with it. The thing is, for those who've seen it, Pain is a natural stopping point (even if some things are left unresolved), but if they keep going, I think it would be cruel to yank it because after we get out of the next filler arc, it's full steam ahead to the end of the series. Bottom line, if the show is doing well, then it deserves to stay and possibly move up. Re:Zero can and should happen when it gets dubbed. I hope the crew is keeping an eye on it so they can pick it up when that happens.

At this rate they may even move Outlaw Star UP! Same problem as last week. Rick valleys in primetime and Famiky Guy doesn't recover enough. Super loses 300k to Family Guy and that's where Toonami starts the night

Especially since I asked if the show would work in prime time hours. Oh well, it's it gets people to watch Ill take anything at this point

That's not a bad idea. If something like Fairy Tail has to come to the block that would be a great place for it. I know next to nothing about the show though so I don't know how big of a hit it could be considering its age. I'm assuming its like One Piece but with wizards instead of Pirates? Does the main character strive to be "the best wizard" ever or something?

Exactly. This thing they do where things are promoted at literally the last week including schedule changes that don't even reflect on cable guides needs to stop. Removing promos for shows after the premiere and not running Toonami ads during your biggest show doesn't expose your stuff to a wider audience. Hiding the schedule to keep people in the dark isn't going to help things either. The fact that WE knew Jack reruns wont work and they didn't is another issue all together. They are also doing it to Rick and Morty. The premeires do great, but its a one and done thing in the day and age of DVR and on Demand options. It seems every time they do something and drive viewers away they don't come back. The April Fools stunt didn't help either and I really hope they don't do something next year that unexpectedly preempts the block. Mess with the packaging, do something fun , but don't have people tune in expecting to see their shows and they not be there. I'm also disappointed in FUNimation for allowing the TOEI/Super thing considering they probably are in a better position to argue for it. Listen guys, kids networks didn't want it and you are better off just letting FUNimation and Toonami program this show to reach the audience that will actually buy your merchandise- the 20/30 something's that grew up with DBZ.

Something must be up. Demarco usually appreciates if people point out things like the wrong episode airing. If it was a legitimate mistake, he would've probably thanked you for letting him know. I hope if something new is coming, they are not waiting until Dragon Con for the announcement since its only a week out. Of course it could be some legal hangup keeping things them from announcing anything. Or it could just simply be that they don't know what they want to do and are making their final choices. I don't see the point in hiding a new rerun like this. It could be that we get Big O back on and its a Sunrise thing holding the announcement. I also have this strange feeling that they want to run Vision of Escflowne as a "unfinished business" pickup and that's Sunrise also. They seem to be the worst when it comes to finalizing deals. Apparently at Momocon, when asked what would be replacing GiTs their reply was "Can't legally comment" and they still couldn't at Comicon. So I have a snaking suspicion that this is some Sunrise business.
