Oops--never made a thread! Well, here you go!

Yeah man, someone oughta "fix" Zaslav with a rusty machete! ✂️🍒😫

My theory was it was counterprogramming to the Olympics. But yeah, not only did no Mugen Train Arc Marathon make the Top 200 Reruns, no Adult Swim on Saturday Night did either. https://www.spoilertv.com/2023/03/top-200-cable-reruns-week-ending-26th_01243089880.html?m=1

...and the fact that it premiered at 1:30 AM? In fact, the original run eventually got moved up to 12:30 AM, but never actually aired at midnight, as somehow MHA Reruns got that timeslot during 2020 COVID hell! Ironically, the Swordsmith Village Arc is kinda destined to follow in those footsteps, since the last 4 episodes are fated to air at 1 AM.

Unfortunately, not one episode of the My Adventures With Superman marathon made the Reruns Top 200, but Rick & Morty at 11:30 PM Saturday Night checked in at #200. https://www.spoilertv.com/2023/03/top-200-cable-reruns-week-ending-26th_01243089880.html?m=1 We'll find out later this week if Demon Slayer: Mugen Train Arc Marathon actually managed to crack the Top 200...

Right, gotcha. I guess with all the reruns and doubleheaders, it did kinda feel like there have been more marathons.

If you caught that little bit of dialog right after the commercial break, I believe that might be a major plot point of the Swordsmith Arc!

Episode 7: Set Your Heart Ablaze! No OP either, but that's its original state, and unlike on 12/31/23, this time it's actually part of Toonami!!

Also, it's ironically strange putting it that way, since this is in fact only the 2nd time Toonami has aired one!

This time they completely skipped the OPs in Episodes 3-6...

Episode 6: Akaza 2 episodes to go!

That was kind of a weird cut...

Oh, the Rewind promo!

Getting them on X... Or should I say Twitter?

Episode 5: Move Forward!! Protect the passengers! With no OP, of course!

No, I just think they're taking more time for promos.

I think I noticed something about this marathon that is different from the December 2023 marathon: this time, rather than airing cut versions of the OPs in Episodes 3-7, they COMPLETELY cut them!

The thing we forget seeing Tanjiro after this arc is he probably has painful memories of this... Episode 4: "Insult"

Episode 3: Should Have Been!

No, Mugen Train, not letting you put me to sleep just yet! We've still got 5 episodes left!

And there it was: the R&MTA Subbed promo!

Flashy!!

Here we go! Full OP for the only time tonight!
