  1. So Iron Maiden reached out to Toonami, but JoJo defected to Netflix. 😢 Wasn't there a character IN JoJo CALLED "Iron Maiden?" If so, this is full circle!
  2. Given that JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 6 (and beyond, most likely) is indeed headed to Netflix, Bleach's continuation may indeed have the same destination. But it's FAR too early to assume that. Toonami IS airing YashaHime, after all, and that's a fairly recent Viz show. But maybe not renewing Boruto came back to bite them in the ass after all, if having a 2020 lineup with few premieres in June and July wasn't bad enough.
  3. Why does that not surprise me? Episode 7, here we go! OH NO!!!
  4. This needed to be on this thread...
  5. https://www.spoilertv.com/2021/08/tv-ratings-for-saturday-31st-july-2021.html Another strong performance against the Olympics! MHA took over the midnight hour and so did 300K+ total viewers. This now makes SEVEN episodes in a row that MHA has scored 300K or higher, and thus Season 5 has turned out to be a moderate success. It's too bad YashaHime couldn't keep up that momentum though. Six episodes out now and NONE of them cracked 300K. I have REALLY high hopes for August on Toonami. Harley Quinn will probably do well, and Fena/MHA combo will rule the midnight hour after that. After a July which saw peak ratings on the Better Cartoon Show soar past a lackluster May and June, hopefully it will keep up the momentum!
  6. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/my-hero-academia/episode-101/.174181 - 3.5 stars https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/my-hero-academia/episode-102/.174472 - 4 stars The 2nd half of Season 5 will indeed be the "meat" of this arc in terms of stakes, so here we go! ...at a new time in a week and a half, and abnormally late even on that night!
  7. I did manage to wake up around 7 AM and watch Vegeta beat Top on the West Coast feed, max-rewound 90 minutes this week.
  8. I don't know if this was intentional, but Moroha pretty much steals the show and is far more useful to the action than Towa and Setsuna. Not that the Sesshy sisters are useless, mind you, but they usually seem to play second fiddle to Moroha's over-the-top ass-kicking. And yet it seems TOWA won the day this week, and last. She seems to always deal the final blow after the other two, especially Moroha, do their thing. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/yashahime-princess-half-demon/episode-6/.166115 Another 3-star "Monster du jour" episode. At this point, I'm pretty much expecting this show to be middling but not completely fall off a cliff like TPN did, though the English dub DID seem to save it somewhat. I guess we'll see what it does next when it returns half an hour later on August 14/15!
  9. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/yashahime-princess-half-demon/episode-5/.165834 Dammit, ANN, that episode was better than 3 stars!
  10. EPISODE 514/#102 WELP, WE DIDN'T GET THE FULL VERSION OF THE OP, AND WITH FENA COMING, WHO KNOWS IF WE EVER WILL...
  11. The Kakashi Saga continues!! 2:30 AM TONIGHT (7/31-8/1/21) ONLY TOONAMI!!!
  12. The epic Warring States Era epic continues!! 1 AM TONIGHT (7/31-8/1/21) ONLY TOONAMI!!
  13. Season 5, Episode 13 (#101) "Have A Merry Christmas!" & Season 5, Episode 14 (#102) "Off To Endeavor's Agency!" It's a Christmas episode, plus Hawks is acting shady! It's an MHA power hour tonight (7/31-8/1) at Midnight! Only Toonami!!
  14. This will also be the 2nd August in a row that Batman stuff airs on Toonami. Is August the month for Batman or something?
  15. Strangely enough, it seems like it will be a one-off, unless it ends up part of the Sunday lineup or something.
  16. https://www.spoilertv.com/2021/07/tv-ratings-for-saturday-24th-july-2021.html?m=1 The Olympic effect sent MHA tumbling from #4 all the way down to #17, but it still managed over 300K and a 0.14.
  17. I'd say "B+". Overall fairly unimpressive, but it DOES have its moments!
  18. Maybe they'll rerun the first season during the 2021 holiday season, then air Season 2 beginning in January on Toonami. Since HBO Max is supposed to have like a 90-day head start, that would make perfect sense!
  19. https://www.spoilertv.com/2021/07/tv-ratings-for-saturday-17th-july-2021.html?m=1 How about that for a 3-peat! Both MHA and YH hit the Top 10, while Dr. Stone just barely missed it at #12.
  20. Not necessarily. The large islands of Japan are still referred to as the "mainland."
