The assassination attempts continue! 12:30 AM Tonight!! ONLY TOONAMI!

Looks like I kinda took the night off from making episode threads...

Maybe if we're lucky we'll see this season on Toonami in like May. Midnight replacement for AOT finale (which hasn't been announced either, btw, but it's probably safe to assume we're getting it to replace Blade Runner since Shenmue debuts at 12:30) seems like best bet to me, but if not, maybe sometime in 2023.

Interestingly enough, this is around the time Made In Abyss Season 1 ends on Toonami...

I honestly don't know what the future for Toonami holds. I thought they were putting an incredible amount of stock into their originals last year, but if Shenmue gets relegated to 12:30, who the hell knows? Perhaps in a year we'll be seeing new episodes of Dragon Ball Super plus 3-4 episodes of One Piece because Toei practically pays them to air that stuff?? 🤷🏻‍♂️ At least that way we'd get through OP even quicker!

Bebop's number came in: 0.03 18-49/97K. Hard to believe it's the only non-premiere left on the block already!

FINALLY weighing in now on a Tuesday after catching up on these with the West Coast laaaaaaate Saturday night! This pair of episodes were both a fine re-introduction, but DAMN, were they SILLY! These fake Straw Hats aren't fooling anyone, except maybe Tony Chopper!

So One Piece came back, but how did it do? Well... https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-saturday-1-22-2022-top-150-cable-originals-network-finals.html Not too great, but at least it made the Top 50 with both episodes. Both episodes of Shippuden missed, at #57 and #78, but at least all 7 premieres stayed above 100K/0.05 18-49. Of course in the larger picture, the big story was the NFL, doing gangbusters as always. It had an interesting effect on Toonami, making its relative 18-34 numbers look relatively good by comparison to the rest of cable even if they were absolutely worse than last week. It will be interesting to see what effect the end of Saturday NFL playoff games has next week!

I could see ADULT SWIM airing AEW but not Toonami. Toonami France is a CHANNEL, not a block. So I guess it makes sense that AEW must air SOMEwhere.

Session #11: Toys In The Attic The episode that introduced wide swaths of the U.S. to J-Horror about a year before The Ring!

Ugh, hope I can stay awake now!

I guess it's possible they do it next week, since One Piece will probably get its full OP.

Did they CUT the OP!?

Yep.

AKARI is voiced by the same guy as Present Mic from MHA, RIGHT??

Great. These arseholes brought in ringers!

Dude, the last thing you need right now is 7 years bad luck--cut it out!

He aborted the process, so now it's gonna be Black Lotus vs. White Lotus?

This guy is toast...

I was wondering who the hell this was in the sneak peek, but then it turns out she's the Replicant who was introduced in Episode 10.

BTW, what the heck was with those lightsaber umbrellas!?

It's all coming together now, and damn this is good!

It all makes sense now!

"Retire Black Lotus?" Fuck you, Wallace. I guess Replicants are Retired by Blade Runners because they're used by humans to kill other humans and don't have a future once their missions are fulfilled? Wallace Jr. wanted to kill his dad and now he's done with the Replicant he sent to do it, Black Lotus? Did I get that right??

She's going to find you... Tonight at Midnight! ONLY TOONAMI!!
