They're not doing dubs for them yet. Just as well. If Toonami ends up airing them, I'm thinking it would probably be next year in conjunction with the 5th season. But OVAs are sketchy at best. So far only Lupin OVAs have actually made it to air (two of Part 4 and one of Part 5). We never even got the FMA:B or AOT OVAs! We did, of course, get one OVA series (Hellsing Ultimate).

That would certainly be interesting! It depends on how long the block would be, but at its current length we'd go back to Episode 12 if they can do that!

2008 was the last time they aired anime on weekdays--InuYasha at 5:30, until 2018, when Dragon Ball Super got a 3-month run in the 8 PM and later 8:30 PM slots on weeknights. And then again this year MHA aired at 5:30 AM for about 2 months. Of course, other non-anime action shows, such as Samurai Jack, have also gotten limited runs on weeknights, but most of those have either been at the front or the back of the lineup. Only recently was Samurai Jack's Season 5 featured at 1 AM on weeknights!

Here's what he looks like:

Fire Force Season 2 will be continuing, and in fact with only 6-7 of its episodes airing in 2020, the bulk of its content will be in 2021. Perhaps that gets replaced by the returning Dr. Stone, which is coming either in Winter or Spring 2021. We've also got The Promised Neverland Season 2, Attack on Titan: The Final Season, and yes, more Food Wars is also a potential. As is Mob Season 2--you've gotta think that's gonna show up SOMEtime. And also, won't there be MHA Season 5 as well? So based on just what we know, 2021 may not be as fat as 2018 or 2019, but it at least looks to be thicker than 2020. That IS, of course, if both our country and Japan can manage to shake the coronavirus. At least Mob Season 2 and Food Wars Season 3 would be unaffected by that! Getting back on the subject of Fire Force, FUNimation has produced this nifty little video that runs down the first 14 episodes, conveniently catching us up to Episode 15's rerun at 1 AM this Saturday night!

Remember when we thought it would be a package deal with InuYasha: The Final Act? Turns out if it WAS some kind of package deal, it was just for more Bleach. Yeah, 2009 was pretty much all just about Bleach, the continuation of Code Geass R2, and the rest of Moribito. 2010 was even worse, with only FMA:B, Kekkaishi, and more Bleach making the lineup fresh. And 2011 only added Durarara!! to the mix. Compared with the dark ages of ASA, even incredibly tough 2020 is much better for Toonami.

How about a 5-hour Ballmastrz: 9009 marathon!? There ARE things that would be worse than a Dragon Ball Super marathon!

There's this one episode toward the end of the 2nd cour which has one of the characters saying "asshole" like 20 or 30 times. That's kinda amusing, and would probably do decent in the ratings. Come to think of it, an episode of Ballmastrz that aired last night did something similar! I guess us assholes will see!

They've also cut back on a lot of their streaming offerings too: MHA is no longer streaming (but Season 4 Part 2 is On-Demand) Only a few episodes of Demon Slayer are streaming (no clue what this means) One-Punch Man is down to Season 2 streaming, which means I guess they had Season 1 on a 4-year deal? genLock's first episode is no longer streaming, which might imply that each episode was contractually available for a year. Lupin the 3rd: Part 4 has finally been pulled DBZ KFC arguably got treated the worst of any of the [as] era Dragon Ball pickups. Each episode only aired once, save for a few marathons. Yes, many of them got to stream on the streaming channel from 2017-2019, but since that thing was hamstrung to just 5 episodes a week, I don't think they all streamed on it (they were all offered individually, however).

That doesn't sound very lean to me. Plenty to look forward to, which is in contrast to 2020, which started out somewhat strong but has wound up leaner than 2015. It might be a rough beginning of 2021 but hopefully by fall it will be off to the races!

I'm not sure how in the heck that happened; I think THIS is what it was supposed to be: https://www.funimation.com/blog/2020/04/25/dub-from-home-the-latest-news-on-simuldubs-my-hero-academia-black-clover/?utm_source=social&utm_medium=org-social&utm_campaign=dub-from-home&utm_content=updates-blog&utm_term=

ON RIGHT NOW: EPISODE XCIV (Season 5, Episode 3)!

And of course we end on a cliffhanger!

Might Guy is such a dork!

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/black-clover/episode-127/.157917 4 stars! Black Clover returns to some of its former glory with this mostly expositional episode!

Nice job, returning to Noelle. This episode WAS kinda about her!

WUT?

Good Lord, man! I don't think she's even IN this episode!

So much art of her!

They're...beasts!? Ok, they're at least somewhat normal...

He said he's still having a problem with it!!

Reigen getting ready to THROW DOWN!!!

So I guess we're NOT getting topicals for JoJo after all!? Or, maybe they'll just show up later in the block? I guess we'll see... https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/jojo-bizarre-adventure-golden-wind/episode-29/.146644 2.5 stars!? Damn, that's harsh!

That makes sense. And the guy's name voicing it is... BILL BUTTS!

Well, this was a GREAT re-introduction!
