Somehow this seems like one of those "don't you think we should have asked if we SHOULD before we set out to prove we COULD!?" things!?

Probably in the days before it was burned with Kikyo's body, I guess? https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/yashahime-princess-half-demon-the-second-act/episodes-12-13/.180992 Rating: 2.5 ★ for Episodes 12 & 13. About as much stuff happens in this episode as one of the early two of InuYasha: The Final Act. And oddly enough, it looks like we only get 2 more reviews.

This episode was BRUTAL!! Glad [as] ended up showing it twice!

And now shit just got real!!

Here we go! Luffy teams up with Law!!

Yes, indeed! Man, there were some sucky dads, between Shigarashi, that dad who discovered the Abyss, and Kirinmaru!!

Join the Feudal madness at a new time! 1 AM, starting tonight (11/5-6/22) ONLY TOONAMI!!

Apparently, we can't have nice things. That's why we can't have Season 6... ...at least, not yet. So first, let's rewatch the last few episodes of Season 5... ...and REALLY pay attention this time!! Midnight tomorrow night (11/5-6/22) ONLY TOONAMI!!

Couldn't manage to stay up all night. That happens to me more often than not when I hit the sauce hard, even when I pace myself.

And we got the full OP in 2022 to boot! Quite unexpected!

Wow, the ANIPLEX logo on Toonami in 2022!

Welp, I've been watching along, and I must say I'm slightly disappointed they're not using the Halloween skin from the Forge era for T.O.M., but then again, I guess they're not at the Forge anymore...

Tomorrow isn't promised... So enjoy 4 episodes of The Promised Neverland tonight (10/29-30/22)!! 2 AM-4 AM, ONLY TOONAMI!!

The world's pretty much going to hell right now... ...so tomorrow night (10/29-30) at Midnight get your C on and party like it's 2000! YAY ESCAPISM! ONLY TOONAMI!!

I could see a scenario where we end up with a normal lineup on Thanksgiving weekend this year, and that lineup is headlined by MHA Season 6's Season Premiere. That would mean 4 episodes of Season 6 get to premiere in late November and early December before the obligatory marathons for Christmas and New Year's Eves. Considering only the rerun, PRIMAL, which is going to reair Season 2, that really does work out the best--or does it? With 7 episodes left and only 6 weeks, the rerun's finale would be pushed into 2023 before giving something else, perhaps Housing Complex C, a spin in the closer slot. Another possibility is that Adult Swim actually DOES get the 8 PM hour back AND Toonami expands to 11:30 PM to squeeze in Bleach: TYBW on 1/7/23. But that DOES seem kinda far-fetched at this point...

This might be fun: Comprehensive list of SERIES aired on Toonami in 2022 (thru 11/5): Blade Runner Black Lotus YashaHime Cowboy Bebop* Assassination Classroom Naruto Shippuden Made In Abyss One Piece Shenmue The Animation* Attack On Titan Lupin the 3rd Part 6* PRIMAL* Housing Complex C* The Promised Neverland My Hero Academia *Denotes series that aired in full Compare that to 2021...

Hopefully they can get Bleach: TYBW by then, but more likely we're talking June if Yashahime is any indication. Maybe even as late as August if Second Act is any indication... PRIMAL is an interesting choice for the closing rerun. It will be interesting to see which episodes they air. If they go all the way back to Season 1, that would be 1-3 from 2019.

Episode 9 actually did pretty damn good. Then episode 10 flopped. 🤷‍♂️

6 normal Toonami nights. December has 5 Saturdays. Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve are DEFINITELY gonna be marathon nights. Thanksgiving is iffy. But if they ARE still trying to get the rights to that MiA movie and it just hasn't happened YET, maybe they would air it, followed by a replay of the first 3 episodes, that weekend? After all, something similar happened last year... Naaaaah, wishful thinking. Guess if I want to watch the movie, I'll just have to use HiDIVE. 🙄

YashaHime and MiA probably both last until sometime in February.

You know what the craziest thing about this is? When MHA premiered last year, it never actually aired at Midnight. It followed Dragon Ball Super and Fena, airing at 12:30 AM instead. I wonder if this means we get Season 6 next May or something, but I'm not even holding my breath on that. Perhaps when/if we get the 8 PM hour back in 2023, this rerun moves there? Doubled-up, it could still mean we get Season 6 by March or so. Then again, IIRC, we DID have the Overhaul arc of Season 4 airing in an 8 PM power hour at the beginning of 2020 while new episodes of the back half of Season 4 aired at Midnight so maybe the plan is to do something like that again? T.O.M. certainly seems to have the Absolution on auto-pilot these days. Premiering Made In Abyss Season 2 is a plus but without first airing the canonical movie, it kinda falls flat. Guess we'll just ride into the holidays with only 4 premieres and hope better days are ahead somehow in 2023...

BREAKING NEWS: Still awaiting confirmation whether that's actually S6 or is indeed S5. Did they forget they aired 5 seasons? Yay for MiA S2, but BOO for not airing the movie. And I guess the first 4 episodes of TPN will be just a one-off after all. But this does beg the question as to what airs in the 3 AM hour that night... 🤔

I think there's no question if Toonami somehow pulls off two new marquee shows, such as Bleach: TYBW and MHA Season 6, Yashahime will be 3rd in the lineup. It may remain 12:30 if MiA Season 2 is brought on board instead.

The End Of The Line for Housing Complex C premieres... https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-saturday-10-22-2022-top-150-cable-originals-network-finals.html So looks like HCC premieres made it into the lower reaches of the Top 50 3 times out of 4, and I guess that ain't bad. The other 5 premieres, of course, weren't so lucky. The 1 AM One Piece just barely missed it at #53, rebounding from a #71 Yashahime. Well, at least all 6 premieres managed to beat the trump rally in 18-49, so that's something, right??
