Hey, that wasn't on that sign before! HE MADE IT!

Well, that was a hilariously bad move! You know, I thought I would agree with this selection a bit more, but these were not the best episodes to marathon by far. BAD cliffhanger!

Yeah, for real! This is almost more audacious than anything Vegeta did!

Everyone else is dumbfounded at this!

Our world ALSO has some buttmunch hogging the airwaves and spreading terror!

Imagine bringing back a game that hasn't been played in like a couple of decades and having the whole fate of the planet riding on it! That's what just happened here!

Well, that's a hell of a way to make an entrance!

Animals love Android 16!

Behold Cell, the ring designer!

Well, if they can get one done every 2 weeks, at least the schedule will restabilize through the end of Demon Slayer, as the episode which gets done by April 26th would be ready to lead-in to the finale of DS on May 2nd. Then after that, maybe Toonami goes 1-3 AM or begins with a special for a while? I would love to see them pull off something crazy like Gundam Thunderbolt from 11:30-1 AM on May 9th (December Sky) and May 16th (Bandit Flower) leading into a "normal" lineup from 1 AM-3 AM, as Food Wars, Black Clover, JoJo, and Shippuden should most likely be able to air without interruption for now. Then after another marathon on May 23rd, enough time would have been bought to air the episodes which premiere on FUNimation NOW on May 10th, May 24th, and June 7th on Toonami on May 30th, June 6th, and June 13th. Perhaps they could also manage to get a couple of new shows, or one new and one classic, to keep 11:30 PM-3 AM after a brief contraction to 12-3 AM from April 18th to May 2nd, or if they do get Thunderbolt, Food Wars could take a break. With DS ending and MHA potentially going on hiatus, this schedule is just begging to have movies or other specials to kick off the block!

Goku randomly realizes what Trunks learned the hard way!

Winning at all costs--the Vegeta way!

Yeah, Vegeta is meeting his match! Episode 81 "Defeat the Invincible Cell!"? Yeah, that ain't happening!

The sins of Pride and Lust bring down Vegeta and Krillin, respectively. Or to put it another way, Vegeta gets a big head, and so does Krillin--in his pants. He starts thinking with his dick and screws up the mission!

I'm watching Syfy closely--don't give a damn about Futurama, but I hope I can catch the shorts...

I'm watching Syfy closely--maybe I can catch the shorts...

I was kinda shocked that SAO made the promo considering it's done for now!

I'm more worried about severe weather tomorrow than I am COVID-19!

Toonami isn't dying unless the world is.

Tomorrow night (4/11-4/12), Witness the rise of Perfect Cell all over again! Kicking off Toonami at 11:30 PM one last time (for now)!

So, DBZ Kai did EXCEPTIONALLY well in Adults 18-34! Tied JoJo! https://programminginsider.com/saturday-final-ratings-three-year-viewer-high-for-abc-telecast-of-1956-theatrical-film-the-ten-commandments/ Total viewers had a slight uptick, but Adults 18-49 took a small step backward. The last 3 weeks have indeed been the best of the year either way though!

Well, MHA IS returning on 4/18, so maybe they worked it out? There was one episode that got recorded BEFORE the hiatus. If the last 6 episodes of the season will indeed be dubbed from home, then I guess that means Toonami gets them only a week after FUNimation Now, like Fire Force last year?

Wow, well the good news is we DO get to finish Demon Slayer. The bad news? Yeah, we just lose a half hour. To be fair, it's JUST a half-hour. We didn't lose a whole hour. On the other hand, the ratings lately have been DAMN good. I wonder if this means we'll go back to a repeating block like we had in 2012? Would hate for the Samurai Jack Season 5 rerun to be cut off, but if it has to move elsewhere, so be it. Frankly, I would put it at 9 PM if they've got to leave it on Saturday nights.

Apparently, the last dubbed episode of MHA to be produced, and the ONLY one that's available on FUNimation, but not yet Toonami/[as], is episode 83. Whether or not that episode will premiere on April 18th is as yet unknown. It does not seem like its dub has gone back into production yet from the actors' own home studios. I suppose it's possible that it does before the end of the month, leaving its potential re-debut NOT a one-off. Now I wonder, with MHA's timeslot temporarily blocked, and SAO having just ended its most recent season, if they might actually try to blow off Demon Slayer in a mini-marathon of the last 3 episodes in one night, right before moving everything up? After that, MHA would still start the block with its last 5 episodes, and then we'd have Black Clover at 12, JoJo at 12:30, Food Wars! at 1 (LMAO Food Wars won't go anywhere), and Shippuden at 1:30 before an hour of reruns at 2. Might as well bring back The Promised Neverland and Attack on Titan for that! Of course this all depends on a lot. How far into Demon Slayer and JoJo were THEIR dubs produced, for example? Apparently Black Clover has another 10 episodes left to go to catch up, and Food Wars and Shippuden have enough episodes left for 6 full months at least. It seems to me like making new deals for temporary replacements for the block SHOULDN'T be as hard as airing programs that haven't been dubbed yet, either way. Hopefully we get some clarity as to what Toonami plans to air beyond the DBZ Kai marathon soon!

Well, Week 3 of what unfortunately turned out to only be a trilogy, at least for now: http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-4-4-2020.html SAO sunsets with a 2nd week over 500K, and all 5 eligible shows make the Top 50. MHA wins 18-34 and SAO ties for 2nd. I really hope they've got whatever "classic" show they're airing in place at 2:30 AM starting April 18th so after this DBZ Kai Easter weekend interlude we can go back to normal long enough to finish off Demon Slayer at least. But I also wouldn't mind a Demon Slayer marathon at some point if this pandemic hiatus has to continue. It is worth noting that IF it's one of the FLCL remakes, it would carry us through to at least Memorial Day, and so would MHA, if they resume production. But as they didn't do a marathon in 2019, it's not a given they'll do a Memorial Day marathon in 2020, especially if that's one of the first "back to normal" days.
