So for anyone sticking out the whole night, I’m interested to hear if the OP runs in full for every episode. I want to know how deep the Creepy Nuts cut embargo goes. I did realize a few weeks ago that they did a clever sneak cut to the Mashle OP. They cut it down to 60 seconds by removing a few repeating sections of the song, which took me a few weeks to even realize was done. It’s not like their typical slop job cuts where they just end it mid verse. If it is cut, this would be the first, and likely only time, we hear a cut version of Dan Da Dan S1s OP

With their refusal to branch out and spend money, we are gonna get as much free schedule filler as they can find. It shouldn’t be this way, but it is. If nothing else, I wish they would at least stick it into their pocket for later, rather than having it run right on top of the premier. Everyone wants to engage with the live discussion so they won’t wait for Saturday. It would be nice if it didn’t have to lead the block. If they parked it in DDDs current slot, a lot of people wouldn’t be as irritated with it. Season 4 was announced for a July 2026 release at Jump Fest this weekend. So in theory, the dub should be in motion with plenty of 2026 to spare. If Hulu doesn’t have a huge window of exclusivity, maybe we could see it join the fall lineup.

Well, that’s an annoying revelation. I guess we were asking too much to be spared the rerun for awhile. A really ass way to go about making this happen. They could have finished DDD this Saturday, then just put Daima on double duty for two weeks. It’s got enough episodes and no one gives a shit about it anyway. I wouldn’t hold your breath on an off Toonami run at 11:30. That’s just now how they roll. They wouldn’t be speeding up DDD if that was the plan as there is no urgency to start S2. Good news is though, we still should have a double premier night if DDD S2 and BE S5 start the same night.

1. Toonami has long had a foot in the grave, and it’s only gonna get worse as our lingering sequel acquisitions exhaust their final episodes. We got a little resuscitation with Bleach, BE, DDD, etc, but those are ticking down. And Toonami still seems dead set on not branching out in any way. How soon we forget what Toonami looked like Jan-May this year 2. WB being sold off yet again, and this time the cable networks are being spun off in what appears to be a very negative way. This might not be a topic of Toonami not making it to 2027, but the network as a whole. Bleach, BE, Mashle, all of these end their seasons in the spring months. What replaces them? 2026 will start decent but it’s gonna be a slow march down the shitter as these shows end and very likely go unreplaced.

Yea, odds are Toonami won’t make it to this one, but it’s nice that it’s happening. I wonder if this will be enough to conclude the series or if it will need one more season.

Imagine they bring Demarco in and offer him the chance at maintaining a high level position. All he has to do is present his catalog of projects. Then, when he is done lying, the board just starts reading off one star reviews.

I really tried to give this one a chance. But every 11 minute episode felt like an hour. China, IL already did the gimmick of a slow voiced giant doing things with Babycakes. But Babycakes worked because he was insane and impossible to control.

I stand by S2 and S3 only existing as a vanity project so Adult Swim could claim that not all of their attempts at anime projects were colossal failures. Citing numbers in China of all places as fuel for a 2 season renewal is a pretty big stretch. Unless they haven’t started at all, S2 will probably make it. As you say, Netflix isn’t averse to just making whatever and seeing what happens. But, they are also quick to cancel stuff, so unless really ignites the popularity charts, it probably won’t make it to S3.

We have only gotten a reveal that S2 and 3 are happening, nothing more. And that was in June. At the absolute bare minimum, it would need a year before a season is ready to air. And I can’t see it stealth dropping either, we are gonna get lots of lead up teasers and reveals before they actually commit to a date. I don’t even have it on my 2026 bingo card. We would sooner see S3 of MAWS than Kamui that soon.

You would think so, but Demarco did say at one point way back in the day that the recording sessions for Blum do take up a noticeable chunk of the budget. Granted, this was back when Toonami had TOM and Sara say something unique at the start of every broadcast, so that may have been running the tab up.

Blum is union, he literally cannot do jobs for free even if he wanted to. At least, not under his real name, which he does use for Adult Swim. I believe he takes the bare minimum union rate to do TOM which is as close to free as is he is allowed to do. Still money out the door though, and more bumpers means more money. Hey it’s better than the Primal S2 marathon it looked like we were gonna get. Available or not, DDD S2 is the freshest dub we will get these days.

On the DDD night, they are just running two hours of American Dad right after the block. Not really sure why they can’t just stick to that and boot Zom and R&M Every slot they add increases their Blum expenses and general workload with promos and bumpers. Which is why I find this pointless expansion confusing. Could have kicked off 2026 slim and trim, which will be important as the year goes on and content is harder to secure. Maybe someone in scheduling finally turned their brain on and realized that airing reruns of it on Toonami immediately causes and audience split and ratings reduction from people who intentionally skip the Sunday premier so they don’t have to start Toonami with reruns. As you say, it can be filler later, but maybe we can be spared its blight for the time being.

I’m trying to save you from suffering. Instead of wasting another 190+ weeks waiting for Toonami to spoonfeed it to you one at a time, you can go blitz through chunks of it on your own time. You can even skip the filler which saves you about 100 episodes. You could even do 4 episodes per week during the two hours of reruns the block has. We slogged through 500 straight episodes of Shippuden, only taking breaks for marathons. We have EARNED a Naruto-free Toonami experience. There is one more slightly more urgent question to ask. Where do Primal S3 reruns go? Even waiting on Dan Da Dan S1 to end puts them a few weeks out from their premier. I wish I could just confidently say they aren’t doing them, but why wouldn’t they? They love making us suffer.

Fresh schedules just dropped. First up for Dec 27, we have a Dan Da Dan marathon with a surprise sneak peak of S2. Episode 1 of S2 I guess? Never seen them do this before. Then the next week, the final piece of the Rerun mistake is FINALLY off the damn schedule. We start the new year Naruto free and it feels good. But at what cost? The shit ass R&M anime getting another run, and Toonami extending 30 minutes for god knows why. Also Zom 100 is getting a rerun I guess? And Dan Da Dan goes back to airing what it was prior to the marathon? Maybe S2 replaces Mashle.

I know it’s been removed from on demand, but I’m hoping they just had 2 years of cable run time for the episodes they bought and are pushing one last run out of them. 10 per week will carry it to February which is right around the two year mark of it coming back to AS. It would be MONUMENTALLY moronic for them to have relicensed that damn show as filler for 5am when Home Movies will perform exactly the same for free.
