I must admit despite the crazy news updates from virtual cons put on by Anime Expo, Funimation, AND Aniplex, Toonami has done a pretty good job of keeping its future plans under wraps. Granted, it would seem it does so at it's own detriment, because it could really use a Fire Force or a JoJo right now.

Which episode? And how did it qualify for a "daytime" Emmy when it hasn't aired before 11:30!?

Well, thanks to the coronavirus wreaking absolute havoc in the United States, Dragon Ball Super is returning to Toonami, at midnight to 4 AM in a special expanded Toonami block this Saturday night, and then remaining at midnight until further notice. Discuss it here. Only Toonami!

First episode started out damn good, but then it got a little weird. Mochi would enjoy it!

I think we may get 2 episodes tonight! It all goes down at 6 ET/5 CT.

That's sad. Maybe it will pick back up on an expanded Toonami at 3 AM or something? Then again, this ALMOST made it to where we went back on Season 3. At least All For One will air one more time on Friday.

These numbers are pretty sad: "Adult Swim’s line-up performed as follows: DRAGON BALL at 0.09/211K & 0.08/212K, compared to last week’s 0.10/256K & 0.09/236K, MY HERO ACADEMIA down 0.05 to 0.22, PARANOIA AGENT down 0.02 to 0.17/358K, MOB PSYCHO 100 down 0.01 to 0.16/344K, BLACK CLOVER down 0.04 to 0.12/257K, NARUTO down 0.03 to 0.12/244K, and GEMUSETTO MACHU PICCHU down 0.05 to 0.08/170K." Then again, Toonami didn't do as well as usual 5 years ago, either:

Well we'll see. Dragon Ball Super usually does pretty well, especially in a marathon. It's quite possible 12 AM on July 4 beats 12 AM on June 27th.

Farewell for now, MHA and ShowBuzzDaily Top 150!

LOW HANGING FRUIT: Fire Force Season 2 Return of JoJo Part 5 Mob Psycho 100 Season 2 Food Wars Season 3 ON THE HORIZON: Sword Art Online: Alicization - War Of Underworld Part 2 Attack On Titan Final Season Uzumaki AND BEYOND: Blade Runner: Black Lotus MHA Season 5 ???????

It's possible they already shelled out the dough for the 2nd half of War of Underworld, and that's why they seem to be too broke to pick up much else. Hey, the same could be true for Season 2 of Fire Force. If they really ARE that strapped for cash for new titles, it would kinda make logical sense.

Duly noted. Now that I know we're actually on V3, I'll include it in the July 11th thread!

That's why some people were swearing that they saw Ballmastrz scenes in Toonami's latest video, but it was actually MP100. Interestingly enough, JoJo still got some scenes in the video instead! As for Mob, tonight's episode was great! Mob got pushed and lost it, and Ritsu is still in big trouble, but Reigen's scene was hilarious and oddly reminiscent of Food Wars now that we're used to that! Obviously when MP100 first aired in 2018-19, we wouldn't have known to make that connection! And then I'm sheepishly inserting last night's promo right here, just in case some bored schmuck comes along and decides to read this entire thread: EPISODE 009: CLAW: 7TH DIVISION

Tournament of Power takes Midnight starting July 11th. I might not even keep my All Might avatar that I've had since MHA first came to Toonami, but it IS still on [as] at 5:30 AM Weeknights these days! As for my Impressions of this episode, I thought it was very Lynchian, strangely like Mullholland Drive.

It would have to be much longer if it will outlast Shippuden. That show will go on for 198 more episodes, and that would put BC at at least 322. Only Shippuden will continue on Toonami unabated with the exception of marathons for sure. Black Clover MIGHT, but we don't know yet.

Actually, yeah! In Toonami's current sad state I find it almost as intriguing as Black Clover and MHA.

And now that it's over on the West Coast, here's the only review this week. Take heart; there won't even be ONE next week or the week after! (Black Clover reviews will return July 18th) https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/my-hero-academia/episode-88/.158064 Rating: 4 stars. Good season finale, but it could have been better. And it will be interesting to see if Endeavor really IS Quirkless like Mirio now.

SEALED!!

The title of this episode is "Terror of the Steam Imp!"

HERE WE GO!!!

Well, I guess it woke me up in time for Shippuden, so there's that...

Yeah, 2021, but it COULD be April of 2021!

AND THERE IT IS!!!

WHOA, THE 9TH!?

ENDEAVOR IS VICTORIOUS!!!
