Genndy says he "wants to do it". I think that puts it at least semi-firmly in the realm of possibility. The glass is 51% full.

Crunchyroll is why you don't support upstart companies who break the law: they end up becoming union-busting conglomerates. However, that is the subtitled version. Toonami may still go through Bandai for the dub, but the chance of that happening has dropped from like 60-70% to like 25-30%.

It says it "hasn't been announced". Not actually the same thing. https://ew.com/tv/primal-creator-finale-uncertain-future/

The last episode of PRIMAL did pretty damn good, checking in at #18 in 18-49: https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-thursday-9-15-2022-top-150-cable-originals-network-finals.html And then on Saturday on Toonami, Batman: Hush cracked the Top 50: https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-saturday-9-17-2022-top-150-cable-originals-network-finals.html Also, "Adult Swim’s PRIMAL dropped 0.02 to 0.08/215K." Good Lord, having Toonami's flagship show premiere 2 days before was straight-up POISON for it! I'd say "thank God THAT'S over," but Housing Complex C ain't here quite yet...

Nothing? Not even HCC?? Oh, stuff it!

Source?

Darn it, I fell asleep about halfway through the movie and my DVR missed it! GOOD THING [as] is currently streaming it!

I almost fell asleep...

Did NOT expect to see Superman under Ivy's control!

Lex Luthor!? ...or Jeff Bezos!?

It's Batman Night!! Don't go to bed yet; the Dark Knight is here with a STONE COLD CLASSIC from 1993!! Making its 5th appearance on Toonami is Batman: Mask Of The Phantasm!! 2:30 AM - ONLY TOONAMI!!

It's Batman Night!! Batman: Hush 2019 Movie 12:30 AM ONLY TOONAMI!!

LET'S GET PRIMAL!! MIDNIGHT TONIGHT, ONLY TOONAMI!!

I believe Gundam: Witch From Mercury could even retake Midnight in November to lead the block if MHA Season 6 doesn't show up instead. But given that a dub hasn't even been announced yet, somehow that seems unlikely to me. We're probably talking about 12:30 or 1 AM in 2023. But it does leave me with a loss as to what ELSE you do IF MHA doesn't show up. Could Bleach: TYBW be a fast-track dub???

Hopefully they were smart enough in 2021 to secure right-of-first refusal to shows like Dr. Stone and Fire Force for their 3rd seasons, though their respective Japanese studios may also be helpful. MHA and AOT I am assuming will be back. I think it's a pretty safe bet we won't be seeing anything from A1 Pictures or Aniplex, though oddly enough [as] apparently still has BOTH seasons of The Promised Neverland!

"AND THERE YOU HAVE IT!!" 🤣

Fun Fact Fena: Pirate Princess's rerun also only made it 5 episodes before getting pulled, and ironically it was obstructed by Blade Runner: Black Lotus marathons.

Apparently, Toonami just confirmed it doesn't need 'em:

My guess is that they're trying to run out the rerun with Lupin the 3rd to air the Made In Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul 2020 movie from 1-3:30 AM on October 22nd (followed by PRIMAL #11 or whatever), then let Housing Complex C take over October 29th, followed by the premiere of MiA S2 at 1 AM on November 5th, the end of Daylight Savings Time, when [as] gets an extra hour. (HCC would be at 3 AM and PRIMAL at 3:30 AM that night after an hour of specials at the 2nd 2 AM, or an obscure movie would air at the 2nd 2 AM and the reruns would be pushed to November 12th.) Hey Sketch, great minds think alike!

"On Adult Swim, the line-up performed as follows: PRIMAL up 0.01 to 0.10/236K, LUPIN THE 3RD up 0.01 to 0.07, YASHAHIME steady at 0.06, ONE PIECE at a steady 0.06/0.06, NARUTO up 0.01 to 0.05, BLADE RUNNER: BLACK LOTUS steady at 0.03/83K, and MADE IN ABYSS up 0.01 to 0.04/95K. " Wow, this result makes Black Lotus look like even MORE of a dud. Rebound for Made in Abyss, as it leaves Orth and gets interesting! Also interesting: College Football belittled hated Toonami rival Live PD's Reelz Reincarnation feeble, as it checked in at #15 18-49 with less than a million viewers. Take THAT, "On Patrol!"

Finally caught up on this episode last night, on a TUESDAY! And as of this morning about 7:45 my on-screen guide STILL has the line-up from April-ish with Shenmue, AOT, and Ass Class! I wanna set the Batman movies to record!!

We've got some catching up to do! Last Saturday, 9/3: "On Adult Swim, the line-up performed as follows: PRIMAL down 0.01 to 0.09/271K, LUPIN THE 3RD steady at 0.06, YASHAHIME down 0.02 to 0.06, ONE PIECE at 0.06/0.06 compared to last week’s 0.06/0.05, NARUTO steady at 0.04, BLADE RUNNER: BLACK LOTUS steady at 0.03/92K, and MADE IN ABYSS steady at 0.03/72K." And then this Thursday (9/8), PRIMAL actually notched its highest total viewers number yet of the season, cracking 300K: https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-thursday-9-8-2022-top-150-cable-originals-network-finals.html This past Saturday (9/10), Toonami didn't do too hot relative to all the other cable originals: https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-saturday-9-10-2022-top-150-cable-originals-network-finals.html Not posting the grid because NO Toonami shows made it. Lupin actually led the charge, checking in at #64 with a 0.07 in Adults 18-49, which actually improved upon last week slightly. Naruto Shippuden also notched up. Yashahime and the One Pieces (hey, that would make a great band name!) held steady. All shows were also down considerably in total viewers, but Shippuden did hold to 6 digits. Last but certainly not least, Rick & Morty kept kicking ass, placing 3rd in Adults 18-34 on Sunday: https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-sunday-9-11-2022-top-150-cable-originals-network-finals.html

You were kinda right: https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-saturday-9-10-2022-top-150-cable-originals-network-finals.html Nothing in Top 50! And this week Spectrum better get its head out of its butt so I can record the Batman movies!

Very cool!

Episode 5: Incinerator Watching the West Coast feed right now. Many little details I had forgotten, like how Riko's hair is well placed after the blast to barely cover her beestings!
