We have reveals for 8/10 and 8/17... Looks like MHA S7 is most likely NOT Naruto Shippuden's replacement, since according to Swimpedia, the 2024 Season 6 Rerun starts from Episode 1, though I guess if it IS, I wouldn't hate them for just airing the first 3 episodes of Season 6 and then making the switcheroo. Perhaps when Ninja Kamui ends we get double MHA to blow through the rerun quickly in 10 more weeks, but if they plan on airing all 25 episodes of S6 again first, we're EASILY talking AT LEAST November 2024 before Season 7 hits Toonami. It would likely be Thanksgiving before they get to that under that scheme, but perhaps using the bonus hour of November 2nd to blow off the last 5-6 episodes so it premieres November 9th would work too. An interesting twist may be a whole night of MHA with a Premiere Marathon of the series recap episodes from 12-2 AM on November 2nd, and then blowing off the last 5-6 episodes of the S6 rerun, but that makes FAR too much sense. Incidentally in either case, we likely get Double One Piece on September 7th, 14th, and 21st, but that's ok since Demon Slayer needs 1-2:30 AM to run on October 19th, which theoretically pre-empts both it and Kai, and a marathon of Uzumaki on the 26th would likely also do so. I guess in the unlikely event of MHAS7 or the recap preludes replacing NS on September 7th, we would be talking Zom 100 from 2:30-3:30 AM instead September 14, 21, 28, October 5th, and 12th, with only one episode October 19th if Kai still runs that night at 2:30. And then a subbed marathon of Uzumaki follows the theoretical dubbed marathon, expanding Toonami to 4 AM that night only. Lots of questions left to be answered but it does look like for better or for worse, at least assuming double MHA and a Day of the Dead blow-off, the lineup is pretty much set for October, so I doubt they'll introduce anything new in September.

Well, here we go...sticking with 2 hours of premieres in "normal weeks" of August: And MHA is back!

Well, now we know; it's gonna be an hour... Hope they don't have to edit for time. Nice surprise return to the block at 3 AM, but I have to admit I was kinda hoping for Zom 100 to be the new rerun. And for those who had hoped the dub of Rick & Morty: The Anime would get thrown on the back end, I guess there goes that theory... I guess on September 7th they'll probably just double up on either OP or Kai and let Ninja Kamui burn out with Episode 13 at 3 AM while MHA officially begins either the 4 recap episodes or Season 7 at 1 AM after Episode 4 of DS Swordsmith. Or, maybe the backend theory is NOT wrong after all and THAT's the week R&M Dub encores start at 3 AM from Episode 1?

Well, I guess that makes sense since the show will most definitely be "piggybacking" off R&M: The Anime.

We've seen it before. As recently as March, we got all premieres 12-3 AM. In fact, I highly doubt premieres 12-2:30 won't be standard operating procedure as long as Uzumaki sub premieres are on the block. August and September may only typically contain premieres from 12-2 AM like we saw typically in June and July.

Darn it. Caught some of it but slept through most. That will NOT be the case with Demon Slayer: Mugen Train next week, though!

It's 60 minutes long, right? Needs a 90-minute with commercials, right? My guess is 1-2:30 AM October 19th after R&M The Anime and Uzumaki also conclude. [as] may have just set up 10/19/24 to be a don't-miss epic night of finales on Toonami!!

Now the real question is how does Swordsmith Village Arc's premiere's 49-minute runtime work out? Will it be... - Nicely into an hour with 11 minutes of "limited commercial interruptions"? - A "wonky" 65-70 minutes that bumps One Piece to 1:05-1:10 and knocks everything else off-kilter by a few minutes for the rest of the night? - A proper 75-minute block with 4 internal commercial breaks totalling 22 minutes and a 4-minute show gap break? My guess is the latter. And then everything else will be 15 minutes later before the newest R&M short closes out the block at 3:15.

Completely insane to say Shippuden's replacement could be MHA, but that might actually be the case. I'd take that over a Crunchyroll freeze-out. But the September-October schedule would be THIS... 12 AM - R&M The Anime 12:30 - Demon Slayer/Uzumaki 1 AM - MHA/Demon Slayer 1:30 - One Piece/MHA 2 AM - DBZ Kai/One Piece 2:30 - ???/DBZ Kai 3 AM - Uhhh, Zom 100? Hopefully that's the case, but I guess we'll see!

VIZ is serving up some chicken with a KICK!!

Yajirobe is a bad ass! ...but not very bright. The fun thing is they probably joke about this battle in Super days!

Oh, THAT was super-satisfying! But he's not destroyed yet!

Y'all suck!!

Maybe they'll "ham" it up and bring back TOM and SARA'S Japanese voices from April Fool's 2018. That would be cool!!

This is probably the first time the Olympics opening ceremony has ever eclipsed Toonami on [as], but at least it was just the first episode of Sailor Moon! But DAMN, that thing went until 11:30 PM Paris Time!!

Dammit, light the damn torch and wrap it up, already!!

That's actually not right. Toonami gets the SUBTITLED WORLD PREMIERE, while the dub airs the next Thursday (beginning 10/3). Holy moly, since Halloween falls on a Thursday this year, my unlikely prediction of a Halloween Night Uzumaki marathon MIGHT actually happen!!!

Here we go!! R&M Anime panel time... ...and potentially other Toonami developments!

We've got another 2-fer headed our way this afternoon at 5 PM!! ONLY TOONAMI REWIND!!

Oh looky who's back in the pit of despair that is X!

Ummm... 🐔 https://www.facebook.com/share/v/yCT3qXfbjKzK8tw5/?mibextid=qi2Omg

Y'all wanna see my naïve, dumb, hopeful X posts, riiiiiiight??? 🤣

Don't think it's been mentioned yet, but...

The key to Toonami's immediate future...

CN/[as] may get some sports broadcasts just to stay relevant! Say hello to the BRAK Bowl!
