It was actually the week before the week Toonami debuted, the 16th IIRC.

The only thing I don't care for about doubling up Bebop starting with an odd number is that Jupiter Jazz would be on different nights. But it's played umpteen times so it's fine I guess.

Interesting--I have DirecTV, and it was right yesterday.

Catching up with the West Coast feed now. I liked the first episode, though the 2nd episode was a little ridiculous! I mean, this WAS the plot of the early first season, right? https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/assassination-classroom-season-2/episode-1/.97349 https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/assassination-classroom-season-2/episode-2/.97614 Episode 23 got a B+, but 24 only managed a B. Yes folks, we're officially back to letter grades for this show!

I mean, it IS worse than ever in terms of contagiousness, but it's not as bad if you're vaccinated so almost no one's paying attention. But if I had to guess, they just throw it onto anything acquired from FUNimation these days, even if it WAS dubbed B.C. like ASS CLASS was. However, if I had to guess, most dubbing is probably STILL done from home these days as well. I don't think they ever stopped primarily recording lines from home in 2021.

It will probably be announced on Thursday again or something!

Not on Toonami, not unless it were some kind of crossover show! but Adult Swim leading in to Toonami? That could work.

If they're good for hangovers, I probably need one tonight!

Well, I just screwed up and didn't change it.

The heavy metal in this episode is very reminiscent of Iron Maiden!

Eh, I couldn't find it at first.

Great, there's 2 rerun threads so I guess I'll just give up on bumping the original... ...oops, too late.

That is a good question. What were you thinking, FUNimation!?

Damn, I just bumped the original thread!

Session #7: Heavy Metal Queen About as close as we'll ever get to seeing Heavy Metal on Adult Swim? Nah. But still, a cute little episode with an amusing one-off character.

The epic saga continues! Midnight tonight (1/8-1/9/22) ONLY TOONAMI!!

Bebop was kind of a bust. Bender's Big Score parts 1-2 did well though. http://www.ratingsryan.com/2022/01/cable-tv-ratings-week-ending-january-2.html?m=1

I beg to differ. Ass tends to lose quality after 25 years, which (though it was in a coma for almost 4 of them) is how old Toonami will be this year!

Well, here it is...

Interesting that the reruns from last year Fena: Pirate Princess and Dragon Ball Super aren't being sustained. At least we're back to 6 premieres, even if 3 of them are Naruto Shippudens! And Bebop hasn't been on in so long, it might as well be new!

Or maybe they actually stealth-premiere something at 1 AM while only announcing it for the first time at the end of Ass Class. Wouldn't that be NUTS!? As time goes on with no lineup announced, I'm starting to expect something like that!

I truly believe we may see IFC air Sentai anime again. Perhaps most pre-eminent among the potential is Lupin III Parts 1 and 6. That's another Part 6 Toonami will likely miss out on, but at least they've still got MHA Season 6 coming soon, right?? ...RIGHT!?!

It was well-done though. Indeed it was a recap, but one told through the eyes of another character, showing her side of the story, and ending with the difficult decision laid before her that she now must make. It seems it was always designed to air on New Year's Day as an episode you could miss and not lose much of the story. It's a shame it only got 175K.

Yeah maybe. But my DVR will be ALL SCREWED UP!
