Yup. Mitsuki's strangely intuitive!

Yeah, but the joke may be that he wants everyone else BUT her, and she genuinely wants him? https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/black-clover/episode-80/.146143 Grade: 4⭐. It was also a nice surprise hearing Beerus' VA Jason Douglas as Finral's papa! ON TO BORUTO!!!

EPISODE 4: Goodbye, Artesia Having just escaped certain death at the hands of the most surprising hitman in Gundam history, Casval and Astraia head to meet with their mother, but will it be the last time? Find out tonight (7/27) at 3 AM!! Also, say "goodbye" to this OP and ED, as next week in whatever timeslot this show ends up, we have ALL-NEW ones!! See ya, Song of the Cosmos! ONLY TOONAMI!!!

Welp, as is the case with most things this year, THIS JUST GOT WEIRD. The question is: will this even get weird for us? With FUNimation on the production committee, will we get a "non-tragedy-sensitive" version over here, or will it be the same? That remains yet to be seen...

Yeah, I think there's almost no way we won't be seeing Episode 3 on Toonami on August 10th now, and for the sake of normalcy, it will probably air at midnight. The next question to be answered is to find out what timeslot gen:LOCK airs. It looks like it's going to be 11:30 if nothing else is affected, but it's also a mystery how the first episode's long runtime will affect the rest of Toonami. I suppose it might knock the 2nd episode of Fire Force out of whack. Perhaps it even gains Toonami a special 10:45 PM start time for one week only (perhaps repeating at the end of the show in September) just to get it all in? THIS JUST IN!!! WE HAVE A 30-SECOND TRAILER!! ENJOY!!! Furthermore, I'll bet this show will have topicals. As will gen:LOCK!

Yeah, good thing too. And I'm thinking it will probably air on Toonami without a hitch. As in, no skip between Episodes 2 and 3. The first 2 episodes will be 3 weeks behind FUNimation's same-day simuldub, and the 3rd and beyond will be only 2 weeks behind it! Now we've just gotta wait on that timeslot for gen:LOCK. Will it actually knock shows out of the top-and-bottom-of-the-hour status quo for its first longer-than-standard episode? Only time will tell... Also, this means unless something moves down or Toonami expands, there's no getting out of the 3 AM abyss for Gundam: The Origin or My Hero Academia.

I'm just saying as opposed to Japanese numerals. You know, "ichi, ni, san, shi, go," and such

I don't really know what the hell exactly is going on with Fire Force. Judging only from the Arabic numerals in this chart, it seems the plan on 7/19 (the day after the tragedy) was simply to air episode 3 on 7/26, but who knows? http://cal.syoboi.jp/tid/5359/time Wikipedia seems to believe that's the case too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_Force So STOP with the "cancelled forever" talk!

Well, they're gonna have to sub out the AOT part starting on August 3rd, so this doesn't necessarily mean they can't do the same on August 10th if episode 3 is not yet ready to air.

Can you read Japanese? The official Fire Force website seems to indicate that not only is Episode 3 airing this Friday night (just judging from the Arabic Numerals), but there WAS an outlet which stayed on track last week. Now, it's possible the website just hasn't been updated, but if not, why even change it to reflect the skip in Episode 3 on most outlets? Also, Wikipedia does imply it's airing this Friday night. But I digress... https://programminginsider.com/saturday-final-ratings-ion-television-with-law-and-order-svu-reruns-bests-all-english-language-broadcast-networks-in-prime-time-among-adults-18-49-and-18-34/ 7/20/2019 - Total Viewers Show Viewers Retention DBZ Kai 254,000 DBS (R) 238,000 93.70% TOONAMI DBS (P) 646,000 95.28% AOT #57 355,000 54.95% AOT #58 328,000 92.39% LupinPt5 241,000 73.48% FoodWars! 274,000 113.69% B.

Seriously? Has that been announced!? I saw nothing to that effect. It looks like Episode 3 is good to go this Friday night, but even so, I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

Updated: "Adult Swim’s line-up performed as follows: DRAGON BALL at 0.33 and 0.11/254K & 0.11/238K (posted as "538K" but probably a typo), compared to last week’s 0.32 and 0.13/262K & 0.13/240K, ATTACK ON TITAN at 0.19/0.17 compared to last week’s 0.23, LUPIN THE 3RD down 0.05 to 0.13, FOOD WARS down 0.04 to 0.14, BLACK CLOVER down 0.06 to 0.13/264K, BORUTO down 0.05 to 0.14, NARUTO down 0.02 to 0.13/244K, MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM up 0.01 to 0.15/269K, MY HERO ACADEMIA up 0.02 to 0.17/340K, and GEMUSETTO MACHU PICCHU up 0.02 to 0.13/221K." So, we still don't know how the AOT rerun did in total viewers, but kudos to Gundam and MHA for beating the 2.5 hours before them and perhaps even AOT's premiere in the case of MHA. It's almost criminally stupid that these shows are in the 3 AM hour!

Two steps forward last week, but one step backward this week: http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-7-20-2019.html I guess rerunning episode #57 of AOT before #58 hurt it considerably, but what can you do? Then Lupin lost considerably from it, but that's to be expected, I guess, because it WAS a really WACKY episode! At least the slightly more serious Food Wars and Boruto (once again identified as a cable original) rebounded from there. Nowhere to be seen this week is Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin - Advent of the Red Comet, not even in the Top 150 linked above, but that's probably just because it got mistakenly listed as a rerun this week. There's no way Toonami took such a nosedive it got less than a 0.04 in 18-49, right?? Perhaps this is some shenanigan that resulted from the bait-and-switch non-move to 1 AM?

Chances are, it's probably already been drawn--it just hasn't premiered yet. [let the bitching begin if not]

So yeah, I can't read Japanese, but from what I'm seeing, judging from the thankfully universal Arabic numerals, it looks like it! Also, it appears there was this one "hbc" station that actually DID get to air Episode 3, so it will be a week ahead of all the others; while the others are airing episode 3 this week, it will apparently have moved on to episode 4. All this is interesting, and would seem to indicate that Toonami's airing should go off without a hitch! If this is the case, Toonami's airing will be 3 weeks behind most Japanese stations, but will later be 2 weeks behind!
