This won't end well...

At least we didn't cut to commercial immediately afterward like we did with that one episode of Tokyo Ghoul Root A... Come on, I wanna see some action! So far S2 has been WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better about that than S1, but this episode might be a miss? Also, WHERE WAS THE #30 EYECATCH!?

ROCK OUT!!!

3 years ago. Well, 3 years and 10 days to be exact...

Well, the pre-OP sequence is kind of a snoozer this week...

Trying to think of one better, and I just can't! Hell, the one before this was the 2nd best...

Bye Bye, Whole Horse's ass... You were a completely forgettable ripoff of other cowboy anime characters. And we have to wait until next week to see how this ends...

Wow, I didn't see THAT coming!

Oh no, not this jackass again!!!

Bed & Breakfast!? Seriously, what the hell!?!

That ain't normal...

Roaches...

Yeah, cool to see you on this early! But then again Gundam is next so I ain't Surprised!! A Salam Aleekum!!

Hey now, Anne, DON'T YOU accuse Polnareff of pulling a Roy Moore...

Haha!! Hercule simply wanted to make it LOOK like he'd beaten him!

Yeah totally!!

Wow, this is just ridiculous!!!

EPISODE 14: Justice, Part 1 The old witch herself joins the fray! Tomorrow night, 11/11, ONLY TOONAMI!!

Episode 19: The First Supper! The crazy capers continue tomorrow night at 1:30 AM, so come get your fill! Only Toonami!!

Episode 11: Adrift in Subspace 2:30 AM Tomorrow night (11/11) Only Toonami!!

Episode #30: Inauguration of the Arbrau Defense Forces Tekkadan's adventures continue tonight (11/11) at 12:30 AM!! Only Toonami! [bang bang] Not enough Gundam for you? Read this interview with IBO's producer and get ready for the show tonight!! https://www.funimation.com/blog/2017/11/07/gundam-iron-blooded-orphans-interview-producer-masakazu-ogawa/?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=112017-hv-gundam-ibo&utm_source=facebook&utm_content=interview-blog&utm_nooverride=1

I REALLLLLY hope they don't do that! JoJo and Gundam could use some binge-watchin' love! Unlike the Jack marathon, I probably WILL watch the Kai marathon, but it will likely be on in the background while watching something else...

Well, color me disappointed, although not really surprised. I knew with a super-long Countdown, they would either have to do something else special in the first half-hour (such as Blade Runner Blackout 2022) or have to go for a show that runs for less than normal, and Kai fits the bill. Plus, it was a natural conclusion that it would be a marathon since they often contain fewer bumps and other interstitials. This marathon will go back to 9/9, the week after the last DBZ Kai Marathon. Well, can't say they're not consistent about giving the Buu saga a 2nd play-through! And that means I get a chance to re-record the episodes that got screwed up on 10/7 and 10/14. As for "why not Super"? Every episode of Super already gets AT LEAST THREE on-air airings. It is the LAST show that needs a marathon. Meanwhile, I'm over here like "give me another chance to record the episodes of JoJo and Gundam IBO my DVR screwed up!" Hopefully this Christmas, I'll still get that chance. Gundam IBO will likely have 9 episodes out by then, which might be enough for a marathon with some really long interstitials (I'm thinking if they bookend it with something, perhaps BRB2022, like they did with Scavengers for JoJo last year), and JoJo: Stardust Crusaders will be at 18, which is more than enough.

IIRC, we got the announcement of Samurai Jack S5 for October 28th on October 12th. That means we should expect some announcement soon, possibly today.

It may still end up being the only Toonami show airing throughout the entire year to average over a million in its official Toonami timeslot. I'm assuming the boost it got is because of Countdown, but it was a pretty darn good episode in its own right, with a combined almost 1.9 million viewers over both airings! We shall see if Countdown keeps it in the millions over the next 2 weeks, and if it will give a significant boost to whatever the hell Toonami decides to air on November 25th as well!
