Maybe they got their rates lowered slightly after November's poor performance? But it's still 2 AM-ish that the weird commercials begin, for goodness sake! And of course most noticed them during Children WhoChase Lost Voices so this is really nothing new!

Now streaming: Hunter × Hunter!! Gon and Killua push and chop their way through a multitude of weenie challengers, but they've got a LOT to learn!!

Now Gundam IBO is streaming. What, you thought just because you made it to Earth you were done with Carta, Tekkadan? NOPE!

This week in JoJo, now wrapping up on the stream, JoJo begins training to use Hamon, while Dio plots new villiany! "Baron Zeppeli, you didn't tell me nothin' about fighting a pincushion!"

On DBZ Kai, Gohan's rage was more than enough to trash all the Cell Jr.'s, and then he set his sights on Cell! Now time for JoJo on the stream!

New weekend; new lineup! Here's what you can expect to see for the next couple of days and change: 1. Dragonball Z Kai #93 - Unleash the Warrior Within! Gohan Takes the Offensive! - TV-PGLV 2. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure #4 - Overdrive - TV-MAV 3. Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans #21 - To the Place of Return - TV-PGLV 4. Hunter x Hunter #27 - Arrival at the Arena - TV-PGV 5. Naruto Shippuden #134 - Banquet Invitation - TV-14V 6. One Piece #368 - The Silent Assault!! The Mysterious Visitor, Tyrant Kuma - TV-PGL 7. One Punch Man #3 - The Obsessive Scientist - TV-14LV Enjoy this throwback to warmer days this weekend!

Let's go! It's Mikazuki vs. Frankenst-Ein, Tomorrow night (12/10/16) at 1 AM! ONLY TOONAMI!

I'm thinking 11 PM June after Jack, but OK... I mean 11:30 PM Dragon Ball Super IS a thing now!

Mob Psycho 100 is out; apparently it's finally coming to FUNi NOW. As such, I have stricken it from the "Possibly coming" roster.

I'm OK with this, since I already have FUNi NOW, mainly to watch Drifters and Keijo!!!!!!!

As much as I would love a multi-night expansion, I'm staying mum about that for now!

Come to think of it, that WOULD be ideal for 3 AM!

What we know so far: January 7, 2017: 11:30 DBZ Super Encore 12 AM DBZ Kai Final Chapters 12:30 JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 2 1 AM Gundam Unicorn Re: 0096 Are they done adding new shows for now? We really don't know. A new show at 1:30 isn't beyond the realm of possibility, especially if it's something older like Tokyo Ghoul, and I guess I could see Discotek's Lupin III Part 4 dub sliding into such a timeslot. I still believe Toonami will expand to 4 AM in 2017; more on that later. This of course would mean Hunter x Hunter at 2; Shippuden at 2:30; One Piece at 3 AM; and One-Punch Man closing out the night at 3:30. Definitely coming in 2017: Samurai Jack Season 5 (10 episodes) FLCL Season 2 (6 episodes) Most likely coming in 2017: Attack on Titan Season 2 Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans Season 2 Possibly coming in 2017: Lupin III Part 4 (24 episodes) Tokyo Ghoul (24-26 episodes) Blue Exorcist: Impure King Arc (???) So here's what I think will happen: One more show yet to be announced, permanently expanding Toonami to 4 AM. Whether it would be 1:30 or a more "classic" at 3 AM, I don't know yet. Samurai Jack expands Toonami one more time to 11 PM for Toonami's 20th Anniversary on 3/18/17. Toonami now runs 11-4 AM. Toonami messes with the 4/1/17 encore of DB Super somehow at 11:30 (but NOT the premiere!) Samurai Jack has a full-night marathon on Memorial Day weekend, then is replaced by AOT S2. At some point, in mid-June, Gundam Unicorn Re:0096 ends and is replaced by Gundam IBO S2. No marathon on July 1st, as the Gundams need a total of 47 weeks to fit into 2017. Blue Exorcist: Impure King Arc premieres at 1:30 in late June or early July, replacing whatever the other new show is that opened the year. If HxH, Shippuden, and One PIece were allowed to keep their previous timeslots, they relinquish them now and move down 30 minutes. AOT S2 actually takes a split-cour break for FLCL, beginning September 9th. Before this happens, FLCL Season 1 gets a Labor Day partial marathon from 1-4 after a special event from 11-1. Another marathon Oct. 28, followed by another DST movie special event on November 4th. That's all I got. Anyone else care to take a stab?

Huh. Seems they actually decided to cover 21-25 later this week! Catch 'em today if you can!

Yeah, I suppose it does! But that might not be such a bad thing; we'll just have to see!

Well alright then! This WILL be interesting!

Episodes 11-15 now through tonight at 6:30; should be able to get one more good run in before then. Episodes 16-20 following that until Friday at 6:30. So if you want to catch up on the last parts of the Hunter Exam, this is your week. I'm surprised they're going back this far, but I guess it's whatever.

While it might be nice to see a show with a strong female lead back on Toonami, guess they're doubling down on dudebro shows. We'll see how well this works out, though...

By now I'm sure you've heard the news: We've got Dragon Ball Super coming in at 11:30 next year and DBZ Kai continuing with The Final Chapters at Midnight. BUT DBS is also playing at 8 PM. It's unknown at this time if those are going to be premieres or encores. Toonami's facebook has not yet commented on the 8 PM airing. What does this have to do with ratings, and why does this distinction even matter? Simple: Show Buzz Daily only reports on Cable Originals, and at this time it's still rather unclear if the 8 PM airing will be the encore or if the 11:30 PM airing will be! But which ever one is first will be the Cable Original, and it's the one that we will get detailed ratings information from on SBD. DBZ Kai Final Chapters, meanwhile, is airing at Midnight. It's unknown whether it will be treated as a cable original, or if it will get Hunter x Hunter and Naruto: Shippuden's inexplicable treatment and not be reported upon, despite the fact that both shows have never been on cable before unless it was one of those obscure Japanese channels as raws. It's unknown if that's the case for DBZ Kai FC. One thing's for sure: 1/10/17 looks to be a very interesting day!

It's an hour of Dragon Ball followed by new JoJo and Gundam. JoJo might be something quite new, but based off of an older manga from the time of DBZ, so still indeed a classic Toonami setup!

Only Mochi can since he's the one who made the thread. If he does, I might delete or change mine.

I think it's quite funny that yesterday we were all speculating that DBZ was done on Toonami! I ALSO think it's quite funny that on the 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor we're all raving about this!

I should have asked this question a week ago. I guess enough "yes" responses and I'll launch one for Hellsing Ultimate X at Midnight on December 13th!

IGN has also reported that DB Super will air at 8 PM outside of Toonami during Adult Swim proper. I would expect these to be encores instead of premieres, but the article is unclear. As for January 7th at 8, I suppose they might re-air Episode 98 of DBZ Kai, but again, nothing's official. http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/12/07/dragon-ball-super-english-dub-to-premiere-on-adult-swims-toonami-in-january No word yet if Kai Final Chapters will encore afterward at 8:30, but I suppose it's possible! One thing's for sure, 2017 will likely be a GIANT year for Toonami! EDIT: 8 PM Super premieres; 11:30 PM encores to lead off Toonami. Hope this works well!

Wow! Well I guess this means there's no more room for Mob Psycho 100 or Lupin III Part 4, so get on those broadcast dubs already, FUNimation! Now I COULD see Tokyo Ghoul at 3 AM after One Piece, since it's older, and currently available on FUNimation NOW, which would mean an 11:30-4 AM Toonami. Since now there's only room for American Dad, KOTH, and Family Guy before Toonami, I would say an expansion for Toonami to 4 AM is probable! Also, since it's official, don't we need a new thread about this?
