Toonami has used footage from SAOAWOU2 in their promos already??

This just in: Toonami is throwing in the towel on Black Clover, at least until another timeslot opens up in 2021: BREAKING NEWS: #SwordArtOnline Alicization: War of Underworld returns along with the new season of #FireForce on Saturday, November 7. Schedule is below. https://t.co/BFRkSFwG5l

Well folks, the results are in, and it's official: "Holy Calamavote" was an unholy megabomb: http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-10-17-2020.html To be fair, at least everything made the Top 50 this time. And both eligible Toonami shows kicked Calamavote's ass in 18-34! Really not too shabby for 1:30 and 2 AM! But man, was the Eric Andre sneak a hilariously bad idea or what!?

This won't be like "Aincrad: Brotherhood." If anything, it will be the OPPOSITE! It will be like the new anime that makes the original depiction of Aincrad LOOK like Brotherhood to Progressive. No, really. Brotherhood took 14 episodes to tell what was fully fleshed-out in the original '03 FMA anime, and kept on going from there. Meanwhile, SAO Progressive will take what was sped through in the first 14 episodes of the original SAO anime and flesh that out.

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/assassination-classroom/episode-8/.85700 Grade: A-. Looks like this was probably the best episode of the show yet; too bad it was apparently on too late for me to actually catch it! But I DID record it, and watched it this afternoon, and it was GREAT!! Nice mix of comedy, and the unexpected detail that Koro-Sensei may once have been human that was quickly swept under the rug... Can hardly wait for more next week!

Possibly? GOOD CATCH! And ironically the ending that didn't even air last night! It was menacingly there all along, just waiting for its turn to take center stage? I wonder if this bizarre post-major-conflict side story is less inconsequential than we're led to believe? I'm really looking forward to seeing where this is going next week!

No review until next week, since these episodes were presented as a one-hour special in Japan, but DAMN, did Diavolo like suffer the worst fate I've ever seen a villain suffer on Toonami or WHAT!?

Sorry, I haven't been feeling quite myself lately. Staying up late on Saturday nights for the late shows of Toonami is less of a priority for me anymore than sleep. That said, I did wake up at like 5:30 AM and watch this with the west coast before going back to sleep, and yep, I forgot what an asshole Urokodaki was! Next week, get ready to watch Tanjiro spend half the episode trying to break a big rock!

EPISODE 8: "School Trip Time/2nd Period" Koro-Sensei comes atcha with the 2nd half of the trip at a special time! TONIGHT (10/17/20) AT 2 AM!! ONLY TOONAMI!!!

Not surprisingly, this episode's dub is actually titled "Golden Wind Requiem."

"Adult Swim’s line-up performed as follows: DRAGON BALL at 0.18/381K compared to last week’s 0.19/429K JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE up 0.03 to 0.17, ASSASSINATION CLASSROOM up 0.03 to 0.17, BLACK CLOVER up 0.02 to 0.14/261K, FIRE FORCE up 0.05 to 0.15/270K, NARUTO up 9.04 to 0.13/234K, DEMON SLAYER at 0.13/246K, and GEMUSETTO MACHU PICCHU up 0.02 to 0.09/164K." Wow, considering how badly Super did, the rest of the block didn't do to shabby! Great start for the Demon Slayer encore! https://programminginsider.com/saturday-final-ratings-saturday-night-live-on-nbc-leads-entertainment-telecasts-in-total-viewers-for-second-consecutive-week/

Well, BAMA vs. Ole Miss won the night, but a little bit fewer heads up trump's ass means Toonami's JoJo and AssClass were able to crack the Top 50 again, with both shows checking in at 0.17! http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-10-10-2020.html Hopefully next week the RTJ4 Holy Calamvote event will do even better, and Toonami will successfully ride its coattails!

If it's a weekly thing, Thanksgiving weekend would be about right: 10/13-10/19: 64 down to 32 10/20-10/26: 32 down to 16 10/27-11/2: 16 down to Elite 8 11/3-11/9: Elite 8 down to Final 4 11/10-11/16: Final 4 down to championship 11/17-11/21: Champion voting, announced during Toonami on 11/21 11/28: winner marathon

It's probably gonna get another break on Halloween and will most likely return 11/7, though that's not a sure thing. A 2 month hiatus on Toonami would do it some good so it can come back strong with Episode 137 in January. Man, this episode was pure campy rom-com, and I enjoyed it from start to finish, pretty much laughing my ass off at its utter offbeat ridiculousness! But the ANN reviewer was not as kind, though they did give it a better mark than its prequel, Episode 28! https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/black-clover/episode-135/.162086 - 3 stars. Yeah, I probably would have given it half a star higher!

The interesting thing about all of this is Monica herself appears to be pretty well endowed! https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/assassination-classroom/episode-7/.85451 Grade: B+. Yep, it was certainly strong enough to land on Toonami about 5 years later!

Wait, I don't think there were ever any computers!

Abby Trott is freaking amazing. She had to do all these Nezuko growls right here!

Damn, that episode of JoJo was good!!! Loved the twists and turns and crazy animation! True classic JoJo! https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/jojo-bizarre-adventure-golden-wind/episode-37/.148738 Even got a decent 4-star review from ANN, whose reviews have been kinda hard on JoJo lately!

Hopefully I can stay up tonight (10/10/2020) for... EPISODE 22: "A Brother's Determination" Our re-visit to the Nether is almost over, and season 2 looms! The night burns at 2 AM--ONLY TOONAMI!!

IS BACK ON TOONAMI TO END THE NIGHT WITH A SLASH!! (HERE'S THE OLD PROMO FROM THIS TIME LAST YEAR) TONIGHT, IT'S EPISODE 1: "CRUELTY" AT 3 AM! ONLY TOONAMI!!!

I'll venture a guess that this has nothing to do with Jesus. So who IS this "king of kings", exactly? Find out at 12:30 AM tomorrow and be CROWNED with knowledge!!

Celebrate it at 2:30 AM tonight (10/10/2020) with... Episode 314: "The Sad Sun Shower" ONLY TOONAMI!!

Page 135: "The One Who Has My Heart, My Mind, And My Soul" 1:30 AM Tomorrow night 10/10/2020 ONLY TOONAMI!!

Episode 7: "School Trip Time/1st Period" You're not fooling anyone, Koro-Sensei! 1 AM Tonight (10/10/2020)!! ONLY TOONAMI!
