I see what you did there! Hercule's naïve bravado is too much!

Oh hell yeah! LUPIN!!! 1 HOUR 47 MINUTES AND COUNTING!!

To stretch out the episode, of course! And is it just me or does Ginyu sound a lot like Oolong?

Yeah, guess he was incompatible. Not the case here!

And in the middle of it, ICE CREAM!!!

Nailed in the nuts by Gotenks! Ooooh that's gotta hurt!!

I'll see that, and I'll raise ya...

Let's not celebrate yet--will AOT S2's ratings even be good enough to get Season 3 on Toonami? Y'all better turn out and watch the marathon, because theoretically it needs to surpass what the first 3 episodes did at 12:30 AM! That first episode, at 11 PM, has gotta beat a million and 600K 18-49, if you ask me!

Thanks for letting me know! I have changed it.

While those of us with cable are eagerly awaiting the premiere of Lupin the 3rd (Part 4: Italian Adventure), those of us without cable will also be treated to a special Toonami lineup, the one from 5/20/17, which features: - The thrilling and controversial conclusion to Samurai Jack - The return of a menacing new foe in Dragonball Super - A tale of two Satans in Dragon Ball Z Kai - Eren manages to reach a new personal goal in Attack on Titan - The current arc comes to a thrilling end in Tokyo Ghoul - The menace of the Phantom Troup continues in Hunter x Hunter - The somewhat disappointing secret of Laplace's Box is revealed in Gundam Unicorn - A beloved character meets his shocking end in Naruto Shippuden - And finally GITS brings the punches, this time with gloves ON! Don't miss it this weekend, especially if you don't have cable and need to catch up!

"High Spirits," huh?? Well let's all be like ghouls and get high on... [ :poop:]

You are cordially invited to attend the union of Arsene Lupin III - and - Rebecca Rosselini In holy, blissful matrimony. 2 AM Saturday, June the seventeenth, two-thousand and seventeen Reception (a.k.a. Naruto Shippuden, GITS, and whatever bullshit [adult swim] airs after that) to follow. Only Toonami!

Damn... Well at least I got the AOT thread! Plus, my post count is a Rush album!!

The battle rages on, 12:30 AM tomorrow night (6/17/17). Only Toonami!!

He's been away for too long... Catch the triumphant-ish return of Lupin the 3rd tomorrow night at 2 AM and hope him steal a better timeslot! [maybe...]

As much crap as I give Tokyo Ghoul, I don't really "hate" it, just find it "uninteresting" after AOT blows me away!

We missed this nice little nod that the Toonami Tumblr posted right at 3:30 AM: Also, I realize that I have broken my Thursday rule this week, so from now on I won't be posting until maybe 3 PM on Friday. LATER!

I think there is actually a decent chance that the marathon reruns of AOT episodes #26, #27, and #28 might surpass their premiere ratings at 12:30 AM! I mean, look at how LOW the bar is: Total Viewers Adults 18-49 #26 826,000 523,000 #27 808,000 481,000 #28 771,000 447,000

I dunno, there might be some merit in it, especially since the new DVD/BD release has recently come out. I mean yeah, it's a terrible idea and everything, but it WAS on Toonami over 2 years ago. Samurai Jack was on Toonami--well it hasn't missed a week at 11 PM since April 1st. Thank goodness that changes on July 1st with the AOT S2 marathon! While we're on the subject of IGPX, I believe its deal might have been a bit more complicated than we think. It's the only Co-Production that has not yet appeared on the Weekly Marathon Stream (hell, even Big O Season 1 showed up accidentally on a Monday afternoon!). So I'd say its chances of popping up anywhere on the block again are slim to none.

It appears that the stream has advanced, but it's unknown to which episodes. I'm assuming 104-108, but I suppose maybe actually to some that are quite a bit later!

Quite true. Occasionally I'll even get "stuck" out almost that late!

Thinking about catching the dub later tonight!

That is quite sad.

You could argue that a few other shows have kinda gotten "GXP"'ed: ThunderCats, in the middle of its ill-fated 2nd run on Toonami (which would end at Episode 15 due to Toonami losing the rights), fell from 1:30 all the way to 3:30 when One Piece premiered, but of course it was a rerun. OG Naruto started over at 2:30 AM on 1/4/14, abandoning 12:30 after the first Month of Movies One Piece was premiering new episodes at 1 AM right behind Shippuden on 1/31/15, and it fell to 2:30 on 2/7/15 when the block got cut short. Naruto Shippuden fell from midnight on 1/31/15 all the way to 2 AM only 3 months later on 3/28/15. Parasyte, when it had finished its first run, fell from 1 AM on 4/9/16 to 3 AM on 4/16/16. (Hunter x Hunter took its place) And most recently, Gundam Unicorn was at 1 AM on 3/18/15, then dropped to 2 AM on 3/25/15 when Tokyo Ghoul premiered. (This also continued an "easing down" from a Midnight series premiere for Gundam IBO Season 1, which finished its run at 1 AM). Hopefully something similar is about to happen to Samurai Jack and Tokyo Ghoul since they're currently not pulling their weight in their current timeslots. And just for the record, the following shows are in the exclusive club which have "reverse GXP-ed:" Thundercats - 2:30 AM to 1 AM Hellsing Ultimate - 3 AM to Midnight InuYasha: The Final Act - 2 AM to 12:30 Samurai Jack - Old episodes ended on 1/17/15 at 5:30 AM, but the 5th season premiered at 11 PM on 3/11/17! Will AOT join their ranks, bouncing from 12:30 all the way to 11 PM for its final 3 episodes? Only time will tell!

Oh, I believe you are correct, but not until after another show has its shot at 11 PM. Of course I'm talking about Attack on Titan Season 2 on July 1st! Then wouldn't be wonderful if it could really finish its run there instead of 12:30 AM?
