  1. Imagine being a Cloverhater in 2025
  2. It’s probably within striking distance of its expiration and they are just dealing with it now, while also relocating Naruto into the easiest slot to delete it as well soon. Not really a bright side. Primal will once again not premier on the block, so that’s 10 weeks of a rerun lead. Then we get Rooster Fighter which thus far, looks like visual dogshit.
  3. Based on the trailer they showed today, it won’t be. Absolutely abhorrent CGI. The kind you see for monster armies in low budget isekai. It reminds me of the meme monster from Kamikatsu, except it looking bad isn’t a joke. I could see it just being catchup for Daima, even though Daima probably has to take weeks off later in its run anyway to make it to December. If they truly have nothing, I ask once again why they don’t just drop a slot. They fight tooth and nail to maintain 7 slots and never once have needed all 7.
  4. Stalling for what though? Burning an episode of Daima is a big deal, and implies whatever they are waiting for is going at midnight. I can’t think of anything they would prioritize over DB. If this persists more than a week it’s gonna look more like they are trying to salvage Daima’s subpar ratings.
  5. Huh, I’d imagine at the absolute maximum, Daima would only double for one more week since it was taken off for two. I feel like if they had Demon Slayer in their pocket, they wouldn’t be doing this. Wasting an episode of Daima is much more significant than using One Piece to stall. Im moving my money onto Rooster Fighter, we will see what they have to say tomorrow at the panel. Absolute good riddance to Sailor Moon, hopefully Naruto isn’t far behind so we can put the Rewind mistake behind us once and for all.
  6. Well, we might be able to put the speculation to rest early. Despite total radio silence since announcement, Rooster Fighter is premiering its entire episode 1 at AX. Probably gonna be followed up with a reveal of it premiering on July 19th. That would explain the “hurry” to start Daima, because there was no hurry since it was never gonna get midnight in the first place.
  7. I suppose we know what to look for then. If there is no post on Friday, then it’s almost guaranteed we hear something from a panel over the weekend, and Demon Slayer makes the most sense. Its hour long episodes are also a good excuse to pull One Piece a couple times to help with that problem. Triple stacking the block with 3 big titles at once seems kinda irresponsible though, because next year we will be back to stalling and won’t have anything to stall for. Crunchyroll shows lmao, we got a dreamer over here boys
  8. They could always give Naruto or Sailor Moon the boot at any time. I’ll be honest though, I feel like getting Bleach and demoting it to 1am a month in is kind of a waste.
  9. I’ll admit I forgot about Dandy, it’s easy to since there were so many guest animator episodes, it doesn’t feel like a pure Watanabe project. The other two I did not forget about, they were steaming garbage, though in direct comparison to Lazarus, they look like masterpieces. Carol and Tuesday in particular had many fans wondering if Watanabe had lost his touch. Lazarus wasted 11 out of 13 episodes on meaningless side quests. Maybe they were meant to world build, but they fell short of that goal. Then when it tries to cram the story into the last 10 minutes, it gets even worse. Oh haha, all you guys were at the airport that day but don’t remember and also I didn’t tell you till now even though it’s very important info. And how convenient the 5 of you grew up to be a parkour escape master, a Russian spy super soldier, black, a super hacker, and good at crossdressing. How convenient none of you 5 random people didn’t grow up into a mailman or something. I do find it amusing that Toonami has two separate originals under its belt now with a pointless assassin side plot. Though credit to Lazarus, the assassin actually showed up in the story, unlike Fena where he is mentioned, then forgotten about till the epilogue.
  10. I suppose that would be a clean way to fix it, though I feel like it leaving again, likely with no proper replacement, would scare the few people watching it into thinking it’s cancelled again. Toonami would have to make a hard, dated commitment to it coming back to mitigate that. Why the secrecy? If all this smoke and mirrors is just to slide everything up 30 minutes, what does that accomplish? Most times when a Toonami show comes off for more than a week, they take the promos out of rotation during the week, so that shouldn’t be showing too often, but why not keep the audience in the loop? There is absolutely no reason they shouldn’t have been able to announce the 19th schedule yesterday along with the Lazarus marathon
  11. The assassin plot line was completely pointless and added nothing to the story aside from a cheap attempt at giving this show a Vicious. Every bit of it feels as though it was lifted from another story. Ultimately the fight ends with him accidentally crushing himself in the rubble from an explosion he caused. Back to our actual plot, it just felt like a big fat deus ex machina to quickly end the show because it had wasted the first half of the episode on a tangent plot line. Here’s the cure, also you five were at the airport the day the king of morons tried bringing strange powder onto a flight and that makes you immune or something idk. Absolute waste of time. I know a lot of fanboys don’t want to hear it, but this show, along with his other string of recent flops, should really cast doubt on Watanabe’s “legend” status in regards to anime. He got lucky with Bebop and Champloo, it’s been nothing but trash since those, and each one is a little worse than the last.
  12. Seeing how things are playing out, you really have to wonder what their logic was here. I really don’t see why Daima couldn’t have waited and just been the replacement for Lazarus. If the issue was One Piece, they easily could have just put Naruto or SM on double duty for these 3 weeks. That’s not a sustainable way to run the block. They need to accept most of the big names they want are off limits for good. I fear their success with Bleach might send the wrong message, that if they just pester forever eventually they will get a show.
  13. Uzumaki marathon at the start of the year, Lazarus part 1 marathon in May, two in July. So we have 9 to pay back. Yea, thats a tough debt to make up for, so they better hope they sprung for a few extra ones at the start of the year, otherwise it’s gonna have to leave Nov-Dec to make up for what isn’t covered. If they pull it once per month starting in August, that would cover 5, and the other 4 would be resolved through marathons.
  14. Yea, like announce that it’s being made, maybe drop a short teaser trailer. Not announce it premiering 2 weeks later. It’s gonna be a 2026 drop almost guaranteed. Maybe Jan-March for S3 and then S4 can drop in the fall. The MAWS marathon is happening to promote Superman in theaters. If not for that, this Lazarus marathon would probably be happening on the 5th instead.
  15. Oh wow, they are actually sacrificing a night of primetime ratings to squeeze the whole Lazarus run in. We got a lot of weeks worth of double One Piece to pay back, so we shouldn’t be too surprised. Why do I see so many people think MAWS S3 is a possibility when it hasn’t had any teasers, promos or discussion of any kind since being announced? They aren’t gonna just drop it on the schedule, we are gonna know about it many months before it goes on air.
