Wow, it's Monday afternoon and they've ALREADY changed the stream! It's now Lupin the 3rd Part 4, but it's nearly unwatchable since it's hilariously out-of-sync by about 10 seconds, or at least the first episode in the queue (#17) is. I haven't seen the later ones yet. EDIT: I am happy to report that Episodes #18-#21 play correctly.

MOB PSYCHO SEASON 1 ENDS 2/2/18 (WITH OVA, IF IT PLAYS, 2/9/18) Technically, the first open slot has already been filled, as the first season of Black Clover ended 2 weeks ago and was immediately replaced with the 2nd last week with absolutely no fanfare from Toonami (though they did telegraph it with the "sleep when you're dead" bump that had been playing since December 8th). Since it pretty much continued the plot that started with the last episode of Season 1, that was probably a decent decision on Toonami's part, but will they do the same for Mob Psycho Season 2? Yes, it will get a topical, but will they even announce the turnover to the next season IF they get it right away? This is not only likely, it probably was the plan all along, despite the fact that it has NOT been announced, but maybe that's the trick? It doesn't really need fanfare of its own if the transition is seamless. However, they HAVE done arc promos for JoJo, but they're already calling Season 1 episodes "all new" in topicals, but it's quite likely they'll actually just keep on playing it and not even acknowledge the fact that its status is essentially changing from network premiere to dub premiere. Also, there is some uncertainty regarding WHEN it plays, as it does have an OVA, but Toonami isn't really known for playing those (though they technically DID with Lupin the 3rd Part 4). However, Mob Psycho 100 IS the first acquisition from Crunchyroll, so it's unsure how they'll handle OVA's, BUT it's still unlikely since the OVA is an hour long! It would pre-empt a couple of shows if it aired, which, though slowing down MHA and Megalobox might be desired, is highly unlikely. So, long story short, I believe we can expect Season 2 to seamlessly replace Season 1 on 2/9/18. POP TEAM EPIC RERUN ENDS 2/9/18 While it's quite possible they'll simply contract Toonami again and move Gundam IBO up to 4 AM, I doubt that's what will happen. More likely they replace it with another rerun, and that show COULD be Outlaw Star, but if the deal they got for that is a 2-year deal, it seems like it would have to end in Mid August, which means no marathon pre-emptions could affect the 4 AM hour. Another possibility is IGPX; a true HD run of that would be great. But really, the possibilities for it are quite limited, which brings me to... ATTACK ON TITAN SEASON 3 PART 1 RERUN ENDS 2/23/18 As if one rerun timeslot isn't enough of a problem, in March Toonami will have to deal with another one! Megalobox will still be premiering in early March, so that can't directly replace it, although I think it is destined to eventually get a rerun on the back end. However, I'd say the best thing to replace AOT with would be FLCL Progressive, which would buy enough time for Megalobox to end. Speaking of... MEGALOBOX ENDS 3/16/18 Megalobox actually broke with the 12-rounds-per-match boxing convention and went to a 13th round, and when THAT'S over, we've got our first true open timeslot of the first half of 2019. What will fill it? I'd say Lupin the 3rd Part 5 is likely, though the possibilities are nearly endless. Comment below with suggestions! EXPANSION WILDCARD: BALLMASTRZ 9009 ENDS 2/2/18 If Toonami has a chance to re-expand to 10:30, it's when Ballmastrz ends. It only has 10 episodes, which means doubled-up it would last 5 weeks. That could mean that there would be another new show when MP 100 S1 ends! And that new show might even bump down Boruto, MHA, and MP100 and premiere at 12:30 I THINK THAT'S IT. DBS won't end until November, Boruto is ongoing, and I expect MHA and JoJo to simply be replaced with the next available seasons in the queue immediately, so really the only opening in the front half, barring expansion, is MP100 after Season 2. And then Hunter x Hunter will end sometime, but those are hardly "early" 2019.

I'm not saying he'd die, though I guess that's a possibility. I'm just saying he might suddenly not be capable of giving you what you want out of it at a critical time, that's all!

But would you be OK with him losing his Quirk and going "Skinny Toshimori" in the middle of it?

To be fair, to me that would suck, unless... 1. They're an attractive young woman, and 2. They do it just right!

BANG. LATER!!!

That would be a cool prequel! Maybe that's what we need instead of the movie for between Seasons 1 & 2!

A PSA from Kudelia: Literacy is important!

Oh yeah. That's in Episode 50!

You've been watching #29: The Trigger Of Success But will the events of this episode REALLY trigger success or failure???

Indeed! This guy is F-ed and he doesn't even know it!

Yeah, you can really see the seeds of dissent begin to be sown between him and McMurdo!

Sometimes a kill isn't necessary. Sometimes you just need to beat your opponent into submission!

Yeah, we continue the fight from last week! Let's end this night with a BANG!!

Just for the hell of it... https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/pop-team-epic/episodes-8-9/.128538 So THAT'S what this segment is parodying: Battles Without Honor or Humanity!!

They showed the owl because this show is a hoot! Why the weird-ass music video couldn't air here is beyond me!

4 AM--TIME TO GET EPIC!!! #8: The Dragon of Iidabashi: "Pipimi's Revenge!"

I don't believe Eren could eat another Titan Shifter and gain his/her powers. I think the criteria for eating a Titan Shifter and gaining his/her powers are: The person must have been transformed into a Titan The Titan must not be capable of transforming back into a human prior to eating the Titan Shifter In other words, Titan Shifters cannot eat Titan Shifters and gain their powers; only Feral Titans can do that, at which point they become Titan shifters. But there is one time in which Eren, a Titan Shifter, was eaten by a feral Titan who didn't gain his powers. Instead Eren was able to transform and prevent from being "absorbed" during the Trost arc.

As always!

Calling him "your Grace" kind of reminded me of Game of Thrones!

ROYAL SHITSHOW, LOL!!

The next episode is on right now!! Episode #43: Sin

Slice of life, Naruto style!

Is there a Flushing Turd village??

Even in the Narutoverse, BBQ is still "Q"!
