  1. They finally changed it? They were just showing the Toonami lineup from 2/11/17 (that also streamed this past weekend) for a while this afternoon! Edit: I see that they did, but it's weird that they're only showing the beginning of the series, when if they did what they did with Kill la Kill before they lost the rights, theoretically that would mean 15-19 the first half of the week and 20-24 the last. The Calibur and Mother's Rosario arc in 1 week, if you will. Maybe the plan is to show it TWICE back-to-back, with a different group of episodes each time? Granted, they've never done that before, but I've seen a lot of weird stuff happen with the stream lately that I've never seen before!
  2. Never in the [as] era for a premiere, unless you count HD Bebop. Even Tenchi Muyo! GXP was merely death-slotted at 3 AM!
  3. Not really. It's been kind of a mixed bag. The best year was 2015, which featured 3 long-runners, 3 shorter premieres, and a rerun for the last 11 months. As more like Hunter x Hunter and JoJo showed up the ratings began to decline, even if JoJo is not actually treated as a long-runner but a serial.
  4. And I honestly think its broadcast dub will replace Samurai Jack at 11 PM AND retain the Wednesday night rerun...
  5. Mob Psycho would be a strange choice to replace JoJo since it's a FUNIMATION broadcast dub, but it also would probably do decent. I do hope Toonami isn't done with JoJo though, either. Would love to see Stardust Crusaders air someday, even if the Roundabout season has done pretty lackluster.
  6. Sadly, no. It was still in unwatchable Shit-D from the mid-aughts that was considered cutting-edge when it premiered!
  7. If you still can't sleep because your body thinks it's an hour earlier, head over to the Toonami Marathon Stream! Episode 6 of DB Super for the next-to-last time this weekend beginning now! Was Yamcha drunk or just socially awkward!! And the rest of the episode, from Iron Chef Vegeta to Krillin's fire breath, is quite a hoot! DBZ Kai and JoJo both involved honing inherent powers; nice touch for the Midnight hour that night, and both were also quite humorous and entertaining. The 1 AM hour was a bit of a snoozer though, as Gundam was a calm-before-the-storm episode, and Hunter x Hunter involved buying a game throughout its mainstay.
  8. Wait, did I miss something here? One Piece was never actually ON ASA until that ill-fated month-long run at 8:30 PM in March 2015; it just aired adjacent to it before Bleach in 2008.
  9. I believe JoJo will not be treated as a long-runner but a serial. It will take a break after Part 2, but Part 3 will eventually air on Toonami-- --UNLESS it gets relegated to 2 AM when Tokyo Ghoul hits, as that would most likely indicate they've given up on it. Granted it almost always drops the ball from DBZ KFC, but I believe when we get to what JoJo is KNOWN for, part 3 and beyond, it will do much better.
  10. We spent more time with Caesar (7 episodes, 14-20) than we did with his grandfather, the Baron Will A. Zeppeli (4 episodes, 4-7). Almost twice as much. It kind of sucks that these Zeppeli characters are nothing more than Hamon sacrifices for the JoJos in the end, but it works. I thought JoJo would need Zeppeli's Hamon at a later stage in the battle, but I guess not. I just hope there will be more Zeppelis in future stories! Not sure if Caesar actually procreated before he made his sacrifice...
  11. This show still doesn't quite look as brilliant as most of the others. It feels like "middle-D" or something.
  12. This brilliant show warned us it could happen, and we were too dumb or arrogant to see it coming! If more people had watched GITS, might not be in this mess!
  13. Let's get back to talking about that OTHER animation to live action adaptation at least? Or better yet, the animated version currently playing on our TV screens??
  14. Sad hearing "We Are" for the next-to-last time!
  15. "Suck on my chocolate salty food pills, put em in your mouth and suck 'em..."
  16. Boruto is Naruto's son, so he screwed someone; not sure who though.
  17. We have a live Q&A this Friday at 8 PM/7 C. WHY is this airing during Shippuden? This makes NO sense. Air it at the end of One Piece!
  18. They kinda owe it to us for kicking One Piece to the curb. Maybe for DST end on 11/4/17? On the OTHER side of the phenomenon that gave us this episode airing at 3 AM!
  19. Getting so many Eva vibes tonight, between the Rei Ayanami-esque Marida and the namedrop of Katsuragi!
  20. Ao Sora did get one play at some point.
  21. Yeah, I didn't see that coming!
