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!!

You gonna learn sumpin'! 12:30 AM TOMORROW NIGHT!! ONLY TOONAMI!!!

1:30 AM 1/22-23/22 SET SAIL AT LONG LAST! ONLY TOONAMI!!!

I was hoping they'd drop a Shippuden and air Cowboy Bebop Jupiter Jazz 1-2 in one night, but I guess not.

It wouldn't be a dub premiere if it did, but that's fine. Still, which time slot would it occupy? 12:30 is taken over by Shenmue starting February 5th so if it did show up there, it wouldn't be for long. But at least it didn't end up in Netflix hell like JoJo, so at least there's a possibility of it showing up on Toonami at some point if not sooner!

Well, it will be gone or at least in reruns at like 3 AM in a few weeks and then I guess you'll just have to find something new on the block to bitch about... [probably shenmue]

That's my guess. If so, it wouldn't be the first time Toonami doesn't lead off the block with an original, as FLCL 2/3 did this as well, behind Dragon Ball Super and DBZ Kai for Progressive and a whole bunch of stuff for Alternative.

As long as they're covered in flashbacks going forward, I think it will probably be alright. As for this show's permanent timeslot, I believe it will be 2 AM when something else knocks Ass Class down to 1 and maybe Made In Abyss down to 1:30 on 1/29. The 1:30 offering is most likely just a one-time thing. Toonami is wisely airing Toys In The Attic alone, but Cowboy Bebop is likely to re-expand to the whole 3 AM hour for the Jupiter Jazz saga next week, even if just for one night. If I'm right, we'll have 6 premieres of different shows from 12-3 AM for the first time since early October!

Post time skip is probably the best spot for One Piece to return. This will be kinda like "One Piece Shippuden!"

Damn, welcome back One Piece!
