  1. You mean 1 AM, RIGHT?? I mean, it would be utterly hilarious if the food network would air a show like Food Wars! on Daytime TV, but I just don't see that happening...
  2. Surely OPs and EDs will get cut from the middle episodes (2-7), but it's hard to do that with a runtime that's over 30 minutes. Might as well just leave it in and air it in a 45-minute timeslot as 3 segments of 10-11 minutes each, perhaps cutting the middle segment down to 6-7 minutes in order to throw in a video. They did something similar with Hellsing Ultimate Episode IV over 1.5 hours, padding a 56-minute runtime with 2 "extra" videos.
  3. UFC is popular, but I just can't see an ESPN+ PPV doing quite as much damage as a regular ESPN bout, which is what we had last week. However, since these days the Midnight Hour has been sub-300K for the past 2 weeks, over 300K at 1 AM would be a blessing. But we're gonna be waiting until Wednesday to find out: http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/ratings-delays-due-to-independence-day-3.html
  4. The wonky runtimes are probably gonna get the first season stuck at the butt-end of the block so as not to run any premieres beforehand at a weird time. But then again, they've upset that before a bit with that Sand Whale & Me thing. I'm thinking it's just too enticing not to run a "giant robot hour" at the end of the block, which is why Gundam: The Origin is at 3 AM. But that doesn't mean that gen:LOCK is necessarily screwed on arrival like this Gundam series is. I'd say if there's going to be a Season 2 world-premiering on [as], it will adhere to more typical programming standards. We could also see a marathon of Season 1 reruns before Season 2 premieres at some point in the future. It seems it would also be a logical co-production between Rooster Teeth and Toonami/Williams Street.
  5. I dunno, man. This looks pretty official to me...
  6. I mean they aired the post-credits scene of seemingly equal length in Food Wars, and THAT was just as objectionable, albeit for a very different reason!! Maybe we'll get a special short of this clip dubbed during the premiere of Gen:Lock AFTER the season ends, bookended by an apology speech by TOM or something.
  7. It's probably gonna air at the ass-end of the block, which probably explains why Gundam is at 3 AM--for a "Giant Robot Hour", but it's not without its star power. For example, it actually contains the voice talent of Arya Stark's actress from Game of Thrones! No, really!! https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=21759
  8. gen:LOCK is coming, and several of the episodes have wonky-ass run-times which MIGHT indicate that MHA is getting out of the 3:30 AM ghetto soon. Hopefully that happens before the important "S4 leader" material, but if not, there's always DVR too!!
  9. A little more about this somewhat surprising turn of events for the Better Cartoon Show, which you'll understand WHY is surprising after a glance at the runtimes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gen%3ALock EIGHT episodes--that's it. So it will be on the air in August and September. And GOOD LORD, just look at those runtimes! Does Toonami have a 15-minute show they can air? Because while they might be able to squeeze #2-#7 into a 30-minute timeslot, by HEAVILY editing the opening and ending credits, they're gonna need a 45-minute timeslot for the first and 8th episodes, something akin to what The (British) Office did when it aired on [as]. Because of that, I think there's no question that gen:LOCK is either going to be the last show on the block, or followed by a rerun, UNLESS Rooster Teeth actually "padded" the length of the first and last episodes with new material for this Toonami airing so that they adhere to a normal 22-ish minute runtime.
  10. TWO Giant Robot shows on the block at the same time? Like I'm gonna complain about that! Maybe they'll even be back-to-back! Move Gundam up to 2:30 and make 2 AM the "Giant Robot Hour!": 11 PM Dragon Ball Super (Duh) 11:30 Lupin the 3rd Part 5 12 AM Food Wars 12:30 Black Clover 1 AM Boruto 1:30 AM Naruto Shippuden 2 AM gen:LOCK 2:30 Gundam The Origin 3 AM MHA 3:30 AOT (S3P2 Rerun) I guess something's just gonna get doubled-up or we're gonna lose 3:30 for 2 weeks...because we STILL don't know what's coming July 20th to replace SAO!
  11. Actually, I think he reminded me more of Schwatzwald from The Big O...
  12. Well, now I guess we know why this show got buried at 3:30 AM...
  13. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/my-hero-academia/episode-57/.135632 Grade: "B+". Yeah, I'd say that's fitting!! Looking forward to more even if I have to stay up late to see it!
  14. Holy shit, he survived!? Good first half, and first episode so far!!
  15. Oh crap, here we go!!! Gundam's back on Toonami!!!
  16. Let's see...Gen:Lock. Dr. Stone. Boy, they sure threw us a lot of curveballs this weekend without announcing anything for the numerous shows ending! Are SAO-A and AOT gonna rerun?
  17. HE'S A TEXAN!!! "Only truth can set us free!"
