Great episode I had mostly forgotten about! The theme was "if at first you don't succeed..." for both cutting off Vegeta's tail to end his transformation and the Spirit Bomb!

Good job!! Here we go with #15!

I guess we'll find out...

It's Episode 4 of the Shikamaru Saga! 1:30 AM tonight, ONLY TOONAMI!

Don't go gentle into that good night... ...rage, rage against the dying of the light! 1 AM Tonight, only TOONAMI!!

DAMN ZOMBIES! 12:30 tonight, ONLY TOONAMI!!

You mean "opposite," right?

The end of last week's Superman provided one huge answer, but it raised many more questions. Supes confronts his cryptic Kryptonian captor tonight at Midnight. Only Toonami!!

I didn't think it went THAT hard, but you MAY be right. Too hot for 5 PM.

Last week’s got a B: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/naruto-shippuden/episode-491/.111515

Those slots aren't "empty," just unknown. Hopefully if speeding thru Demon Slayer is any indication, Swordsmith Arc is right around the corner, followed by 🤞 dub premieres of Hashira Training for Toonami (Next day on HuluMax) 🤘?? The last time they did this with a show that had more episodes remaining, it was Made In Abyss. You could argue it also happened with MHA S6 reruns, but there wasn't an S7 yet, so that doesn't count.

Damn, no one else here finds beauty in negative spaces? But I guess I AM the eternal optimist!

November 11th, 2023 and January 13th, 2024, in recent memory. R&M anime most likely expands Toonami to 11:30. The original show airs then now!

Meanwhile, funny how this episode sells Tien and Yamcha's training as extreme, only to have them PUNKED by the Saiyans later on!

Episodes 7 and 8 Goku can't spank King Kai's monkey! 🤣

I've actually LOST weight this week! 😁

Do what Luna says, thunder thighs!!

Guess Courebeau is not watching this week? I actually got home from work early, myself! Damn, don't have a stroke, Usagi!

My DVR forgot to record Episode 12 of Supes, so my inexplicable excitement about the marathon might have something to do with that. 🤷‍♂️ With the exception of July 27th, nothing really changes from June to July. We have 4 premieres now, and we'll have 4 premieres then. Granted, the fact that we're getting a marathon on a non-holiday is a bit weird, but if it means a major shakeup in August, I really don't have a problem with it. If they just HAVE to stall a bit more in August, maybe letting Naruto Shippuden lead off the block with a mini-marathon of Episodes #497-#500 would be interesting, then DBZ Kai and double Kamui after that? Hell, if they decide to pull the killswitch on Rewind, could even see Sailor Moon wind up at 3, then OG Naruto replace Shippuden the following week.

Would Toonami be bonkers enough to air a subtitled anime in mid-block on August 3rd if it's Suicide Squad? Though unconfirmed, that just MIGHT be what this is pointing toward... ...and I for one would be perfectly FINE with it!

Holy monkey, what a negative take! You get balls for that!! Expansion is Expansion. And sure it'll be mostly Superman, but the weekend of July 26-28, SEVEN hours of [as] programming will be Toonami-branded, when the average weekend 6 months prior only had 3. How the hell is that not a positive?

I need to lose weight...so I'll be watching! 5 PM this afternoon, only TOONAMI REWIND!!

That can't be right. I thought it came out in 2023? If you're thinking about Hashira Training, oddly enough you may be right! That would be a HUGE coup for Toonami if so!
