Eat your heart out, Colbie Caillat! 1 AM tonight, ONLY TOONAMI!!

NGL, this one looks interesting... "Yeah, you're innocent, and I'm a honey badger!" Plz don't sue, Tyrann Mathieu!! Let's get galactic Feudal Japan style tonight at 12:30 AM, ON TOONAMI!!

I don't even know how else to ask for it, but would it be possible to retrieve Episode 15's discussion from the archives for tonight? Otherwise, I'm gonna make a "creative edit" to this thread and it will become the discussion thread for tonight.

Boy, we all wasted so much time on those old boards, didn't we? My biggest triumph as "ALchemist81" was getting the top score in the [as] game Tortoss, which had gameplay similar to Angry Birds, back in 2011.

So true! And we already KNOW it's streaming on YouTube, or at least the Prologue did... ...and didn't Crunchyroll ALSO stream that?

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!"
