This is one BRUTAL Flashback!!

Auza sucks

Episode 10, LET'S GO!

"Weakness is a sin" says the guy who had to endure THIS!!

Hey, we got the full OP again!

Yeah, this is hard to follow. Rick is a nice alcoholic in this, when he's an asshole alcoholic in the main series!

Wait, what!? I'm thinking there must be errors... https://toonamifaithful.com/toonami-ratings-for-august-10th-2024/

We've seen 0.07 at midnight, which this rounds up to. Hell. The whole 12-1:30 time frame rounds up to 0.07, which isn't THAT damn bad. Superman, where are you now?

Hard to believe it, but we really are down to 3 episodes. Almost surreal, as Toonami has almost aired all 500 episodes (one twice!)

Screw you, Doflamingo! The Dressrosa saga continues tonight at 1, ONLY TOONAMI!

No, not to be confused with the male cat-lady from Bleach (IYKYK) I have no idea how tech like this is possible in Demon Slayer, but I'm intrigued. 12:30 tonight, only TOONAMI!!

SPLAT. https://www.spoilertv.com/2023/03/top-400-cable-shows-week-ending-26th_01602488462.html?m=1#google_vignette Good rankings, but MAN those hard numbers STINK to high heaven!! That's what happens when you go up against The Olympics, even when the actual events are hours before Toonami even starts! Hilariously, One Piece beat Demon Slayer. https://www.spoilertv.com/2023/03/top-200-cable-reruns-week-ending-26th_01243089880.html?m=1 Random Bob's on Saturday cracked the Top 200 Reruns...

It may sound crazy, but I really don't mind the stalling all that much. With the exception of R&MTA, it's not like most of these shows get aired elsewhere on the schedule. Yes, there's Uzumaki, but that's just a miniseries. So I really don't mind taking up time on the Saturday schedule to give them another spin, which is definitely something I wouldn't mind for Lycoris Recoil and Zom 100.

I'm guessing the plan was MHA and it fell through somehow, at least for now. But in the Dressrosa arc, double One Piece WORKS. And I am REALLY glad Operation S.O.P. already succeeded. Though the newest episode raises more questions than answers them, hopefully the next will answer a few. And if not, maybe just maybe the September power hours will cover the meat of another major plot thread.

That may be, but we should have reason to be optimistic for 2025. With both Fire Force and Dr. Stone coming with new multi-cour seasons, at least there will likely be solid replacements. And on the other side of the coin is Lazarus and whatever Aniplex might be able to provide. I think we'll get something out of left field in the vein of Lycoris Recoil, perhaps even in November 2024.

LMAO, Bulma!! You're gonna end up that guy's baby mama!!

Very astute of Sasuke! I liked this episode when it aired on [as] Toonami back in 2012 and it's great now too!

I guess no one cares to discuss Rewind stuff. Shame, because this is one of the best shows on [as] right now.

I don't hate 4 premieres on the Saturday block because we kinda have 2 on Rewind, even if it's just the audio.

In the name of the moon, it's coming at you! The "Can't believe this is happening to Usagi" power hour, today at 5 PM, ONLY TOONAMI REWIND!!

Bro, One Piece is not "nothing". It could be worse--at least they're not contracting the block. Since they need the extra slot for Uzumaki, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt on this one.

If Toonami would run as a block on max I would not hate that. But I think it will at least survive 2025. After that, the future is uncertain.

Pretty much following my latest prediction: Obviously the 21st is rinse and repeat of the 14th, which of course leaves us at 3 Double One Pieces in a row. If my theory is correct and they can only air an average of one a week, this puts us at a deficit of 2, which will likely be "repaid" on October 19th (1.5-hour DS knocking out both OP and Kai) and 26th (obligatory Halloween marathon, most likely Uzumaki and Housing Complex C if they don't write it off). September 28th, October 5th, and October 12th obviously just have a single OP airing as Demon Slayer falls to 1 AM. Since Demon Slayer premiered at 1:30 back on October 12th, 2019, it is quite ironic that it will finish its last premiere episode for the foreseeable future occupying that timeslot exactly 5 years and a week later. By the way, double MHA S6 for 6 straight weeks would get us to Episode 17 by October 19th. If they decide to combine Uzumaki with a mini-marathon of MHA, that means 20 or 21, with 4-5 episodes left to go on the 2nd, that you could play in the bonus 2 AM hour for a Season 7 premiere on November 9th. I suppose finagling back 3:30 and TRIPLING up MHA S6 starting 9/28 is also possible, and if they take THAT route, we are talking Episode 21 on October 19th and finishing off the S6 on the 26th, which means S7 premiere on November 2nd leading a brand-new lineup instead.

I only got to see the 2nd half and I didn't hate it, but I wasn't all that thrilled by it. It certainly didn't deserve to steal midnight from Demon Slayer. If they kick up the action in future episodes, it could be decent.
