There’s this thing where anything mainstream doesn’t go to Toonami because of its time slot. I was hoping with Superman, they learned the lesson about Thursdays but I guess not If we don’t get MHA or DS, then maybe that Fighting Girl show airs at 12:30

Don’t forget the number of times that Toonami having first rights to the dub DELAYED its release on streaming because they needed to do a 4th of July marathon on July 1st or something like that

I don’t get the play here. If they are withholding the dub to premiere on TV, July is a perfect opportunity. This kind of stuff also annoys streaming audiences also But I also don’t see why they would withhold the dub from English speaking NA Really Bizarre

Never seen any LOTR movies, but this looks pretty good.

No dub right away could possibly mean we can see it air later on Either way between this and MeTV Toons, I’m reaching the apex of my existence that week

I think there will be changes to the schedule at appropriate times to not allow people to tire of certain shows. The people running the network seem to really get what made early CN great Thete will be shows that are constants, but those will be the top tier, lots of episodes type. They seem to get it for the most part with limiting low episode count shows to weekends. One of my biggest issues with classic Toonami was them picking up short shows and running them on weekdays. They’d finish in a month and then repeat endlessly. I do think they should break up the puppet fest on overnights a little and get some other things in there. Since they have a huge library, they could regularly rotate several shows in certain time slots,

They have a huge library and said things will be rotating in and out and moving around. I think everything will get a chance for some airtime

I’ll clarify: CLAIMS to be busy. Before he got really into the political stuff, he’d still be regularly posting about watching movies and playing video games during working hours. Also spending a lot of time playing therapist to people on AskFM It wouldn’t even really be that hard. Sentai would probably be more than happy to give him a list of shows from the last couple of years that might do well with the TV audience. I just think too much time is spent on chasing “hit” shows that aren’t obtainable. Often I even hear from the fan base that Sentai doesn’t have much worth airing, but should that mean they don’t try something just because it’s not a well known Shonen show?

I know he’s busy, but it’s frustrating that he doesn’t have awareness of what’s out unless it’s presented to him by someone or it’s a mega popular series that he likely can’t get because of Sony

They sometimes don’t announce these dubs until the last minute unless Epcar is involved and he doesn’t GAF about NDAs I suggested UY to him on X and he said he’ll see how it turns out before considering it so I told him it’s already out and he said he wasn’t aware

I need credit for that if it does lol!

Pretty spot on. Only thing that might not play out is Dr. Stone premiering on 12-14 as that’s typically too close to the end of the year marathons- BUT they could through some other mechanisms get it on a little earlier so it gets a few episodes in before that Otherwise, I think it’ll play out exactly like that

I really want this to do well, but I can see the plethora of complaints already about why it’s a bad time and people can’t watch. For the average working adult, it is kind of at a bad time. But I’ve also seen every other type of reason why other times are bad too. There is just a certain segment of the population that just won’t do appointment viewing anymore and don’t like to be told they have to watch at a certain time. People say they want this stuff, but when it’s time to tune in- will they? Hopefully DVR will heavily factor in here. They will never put things in prime time and take FOX time away, but perhaps 7pm is a possibility after the encores of Superman end. But this has to do well

That’s pretty good actually. So much potential to fix lines of dialogue where you can’t edit around what other characters say

I do think someone at at least Toonami Faithful keeps up with the hashtagging live. I’m sure Sketch can shed light on who but I do think it’s an actual person doing it and not a bot. It is kind of funny how everything is on break or off for the summer and Toonami is returning on the holiday weekend and debuting a new show as well.

Holy shit. People are still THAT into The Big Bang Theory? Maybe AS should run that as Toonami’s lead in

So if you are the type that follows Toonami fandom social media, your feed is probably filled with people who watch marathons and tweet all night about them. Fansites are especially dedicated to blowing up hashtags to make them trend. Nothing wrong with that- it’s their job! So in appearance you’d think these marathons would do great, but the fandom is a very small percentage of the general audience I’m at a point in my life where these weeks are a relief to me because I have so much going on and things to keep up with that any repeat will not be watched. I simply don’t have the time and need to use that to catch up on other things. I think much of the audience is in a similar position and just doesn’t have time to watch a repeat of something we just watched.

It’s gonna be an issue for me. 5pm Friday is usually the time I’m taking the kids out somewhere fun. Lame I know, but it’s just the reality of many people.

In a better world, they’d do an encore at midnight for both this and checkered but can’t cut into their Rick and Morty reruns

it’s over because clown fish tv says it is

Let’s just hope it’s not for real. Then tomorrow they’ll announce it

Toonami bound for sure. In the lead slot. Cue TOM doing Hamtaro level antics in the intro that week

Seems like the stream will be different than the channel. I can’t get OTA so I’m hoping one of the cable outlets gets it

Naruto will be at 1:30 now. Are we’d going to write THAT off now as too late?

I think they’ll do a Saturday premiere/ Sunday encore. They probably figured doing the reverse would give worse results since people would have a whole week to watch it and it is an established Sunday show, so they’ll want to get that audience in there- especially with no season 8 this year Real risky to lead off with a subbed show- but it’s such a big IP that I think it’ll get away with it.
