Akame ga KILL!! is also missing, which is semi-famous for doing THIS:

That's not right. Every Toonami timeslot added up in 2019 was over 200 million!

The normal lineup returned, and MHA hit a new yearly high in terms of 18-49 rank: http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-4-18-2020.html

Nice try, mochi. Yeah, this thread is pretty much an epic fail!

I don't know, but this was probably the most "WTF!?" music video they've played so far THIS year:

Where were you last summer when shows were announced literally a week in advance? Food Wars came July 6th and was announced sometime the week of June 29th. Fire Force got announced 8 days before it aired, which led to an awkward early-block rerun of an AOT episode. I'd say we shouldn't be pushing the panic button on the re-introduction of reruns to Toonami for the first time in 2 months unless we get into May and we still don't know! If Toonami's in doubt, they could always bring back Boruto or Tokyo Ghoul! Mob Psycho 100 Season 2 is also low-hanging fruit but it doesn't last as long and the well of new shows from Japan is gonna be dry for a while!

This is why I kinda wanted it paired with Shippuden. You could say it's in kind of a dark place right now too. But I think it will be fine. It's just one show on a very limited block that will try to keep as much variety as possible. Perhaps Demon Slayer's replacement will be lighter?

The only one I've ever seen all the way through was Fate/Zero. SAO and Black Clover are far more "accessible".

Add this to my "stuff I never wanted to know about the Fate series but can't unlearn" pile! Though I guess it only makes sense if you're gonna genderbend the main patriarch of the Camelot legends. But still, they could have just as easily made Morgana male and had him impregnate Arturia to give birth to Mordred. She's pretty much inconsequential so that would make more sense than having Merlin genderbend Arturia back just so she could have a son! Looked at like that, I guess you might say Toonami picked up the better franchise about magic, and it's more friendly to rights issues since it's just one big linear show instead of a myriad of spinoffs!

YOU BUTTHEAD!!! Hopefully Toonami has new shows coming in 5/2 and 5/9 if MHA has to be delayed, but if they can't, I guess the one new show that would have replaced Demon Slayer, moving everything up 30 minutes, and a rerun in the back would suffice. And if that rerun is Cowboy Bebop, then so be it, but I think it would be better to bring back Promised Neverland for its last 4 episodes since it disappeared from the lineup for the Genndy Power Hour back in February. This is worse than the rights loss bonanza that hit Toonami back in Fall 2014 that saw both Batman and Star Wars go poof, as well I guess as Sym-Bionic Titan (if only they could bring THAT back for the Genndy Power Hour!). The only difference is that now Toonami has ALREADY cut back to 3 hours. But older shows they skipped over that have been out for a while could the way to address this.

Man, this thread turned into a depressing cesspool of coronavirus doomsday predictions, but I guess it was inevitable because of this season's questionable conclusion. We CAN handle this better than the Spanish Flu; the question is: WILL WE??? The movie has been delayed, but that doesn't mean a season that has been planned for Fall 2021 definitely will be. But we MUST get this virus under control!

They had to kill the wooly mammoth to survive!

Naruto is getting his butt kicked by the 9-tails, and then show's over!

If Sakura is actually useful, then you might be watching filler!

Deidara and Hidan in a pissing match! LOVE IT!

Oh wow, something CRAZY is going on!!

AWESOME ENDING SONG!!!

It's the Liar Liar curse in reverse! Poor Narancia can't tell the truth!

Yeah, I guess so!

Why are they...? Oh yeah, we're in a flashback!

Fuegoleon and Mereleona bout to THROW DOWN!!!

FUEGOLEON IS BACK!!! "you didn't die or anything!" LMAO!!

Hell of a way to end the show! I guess we'll see more Food Wars on Toonami someday, but for now, bring on that Paranoia Agent!!

HE GOT THE JOB!!!

Is it just me, or is this foodgasm kinda...anticlimactic? At least Soma going Autonomous Ultra Instinct before that was even a thing was hilarious!
