Online schedule finally updated. Blue Exorcist S4 has been added to 12:30 and Mashle has moved down to the advertised 1am slot. One Piece has also been added and is moving into its next arc, putting an end to the 50 episode cap theory. Strangely though, One Piece is listed AFTER the Dan Da Dan rerun. So the schedule is, as the website shows it 12 - Bleach 12:30 - Blue Exorcist 1 - Mashle 1:30 - Dan Da Dan (rerun) 2 - One Piece 2:30 - Daima (rerun) 3 - Naruto (rerun) If that is correct and not a mistake, that’s quite the strange choice. I’d assume the DDD rerun slot is the one Primal will take over in January which would push OP down to 2 anyway, but I don’t see the logic for setting it up this way 2 months out, especially when the traditional year end marathons act as a bit of a schedule reset anyway.

Adult Swim’s official schedule tells a different story. Dan Da Dan is listed but at the wrong time. Blue Exorcist and One Piece are absent. The 11/15 schedule is completely blank. They ran a promo for Mashle, confirming a 1am start time. However, the schedule has it listed at 12:30. If nothing else, I’d expect DVR troubles for people. That is asinine. If they want to show them, they would just show them. Not ask the audience to commit for 220+ weeks.

If they did make a mistake, I would not be too expectant of the real schedule being one worth celebrating. With DDD earlier, that strongly indicates 4 reruns. I’ll admit, it would be hilarious if they had to go back and retcon an above average schedule update most are happy with. But I also don’t think they are quite that incompetent that they would make the mistake with Blue Exorcist S4. Now, One Piece is a different matter. The 52 episode cap could be real, and the schedule graphic maker didn’t get the memo that Toonami is tapped out for the year. Or, second option, the 52 episode cap WAS real, and Toonami reupped with Toei a little early. We should get some clarity in two days when the following weeks schedule populates.

Strangely, the online schedule tells a different tale than what was posted. 12 - Bleach 12:30 - blank 1 - Mashle 1:30 - Dan Da Dan 2:00 - blank 2:30 - Daima 3:15 - Naruto I don’t recall us ever getting a schedule update, and having the online schedule update still have blank slots. And even if we want to wave off Blue Exorcist, Dan Da Dan is in the wrong slot with 2am blank. Just a hiccup or something more?

On demand has up to episode 57. I really do not see them spending money to go further than that, but it does seem they will allow it to stick around until exhausting those episodes. Or perhaps they pull the plug a few earlier right where the arc ends. I believe that’s around 52 or so. Last I looked, the on demand page has it set to expire in May, so if nothing else, that’s probably the deadline.

For a late year schedule update, I can’t complain. Two new shows when the expectation was zero. And it looks like One Piece can air beyond 50-52 episodes per year now. Bleach in the lead slot also heavily implies it’s gonna flip right into cour 3 as well. Funny thing, at around the same time last year, Blue Exorcist and Mashle were added to the lineup at the same time. Seeing Diaper go straight into reruns after its subpar response is a little groan inducing though. I don’t watch reruns, I didn’t even watch its premiers since I have standards, but just like Naruto, it’s the principle of the matter. Anyway, that pretty well sets the schedule for the rest of 2025. Got a few marathons no one cares about to reveal, but we are good till next year when they reveal how Primal will shit up the schedule.

There seems to be this odd belief that Zaslav is the only man on earth with the ability and desire to write things off. I’m just saying, we can quickly go to “at least Zaslav didn’t write off THIS much when he was in charge!” And the people willing to buy any piece of a company this far underwater aren’t the ones with a desire to turn it around, just to squeeze as much capital from it as possible before tricking a different sucker into buying it again.

This feels like it will evolve into a situation where people celebrate Zaslav being out of the picture, then we get a taster of the new owners and suddenly Zaslav looks like the preferable option.

I know it’s throwaway filler time, but wouldn’t it be neat if they did something cool instead of just wasting our time yet again? The originals always being on hand makes them lazy, “special” nights can just be filled with that trash, every single time. Correct, the 11/1 episode is the 52nd of the year, as well as the final episode of this short filler arc. If a new episode airs on 11/8, the theory is out the window. I mean, it’s just a rerun. They have already extracted most of the value out of it since very few people actually stick around past One Piece. Anyway, my point was more, why bother starting it tomorrow if they were gonna do this? Naruto could have doubled up for the night. I don’t have a beef with Primal specifically, my issue is that AS feeds Genndy’s ego and won’t let the show premier on Toonami, so we end up wasting a premium slot on a rerun for 10 weeks. If we can’t have the premier, it shouldn’t be on Toonami period. The block is not an insulated audience, most of us watch regular AS. We don’t need AS content clogging the block. Toonami is in good with Aniplex so I would think that isn’t an issue here. S4 would be close to a year old at that point.

Well, we know they will be saving a slot for Primal in January. If they got Hashira Training, that might be just short enough to get all jammed in before the year ends. But with Infinity Castle many years away from an anime cut, they may not see that as priority due to cost. The only thing I have any confidence in is them just rolling Blue Exorcist forward. Seems a little odd to burn through this season and then put it on break. It will be interesting to see if Bleach moves forward. Given how they did not make a distinction between the two cours, it may not stop.

Fresh schedule update, looks like Toonami is responsible for DST this year, and they filled it with dogshit no one wants to watch. Blue Exorcist continues its double up, which I believe will wrap up the season. One Piece airs its 52nd episode of the year, which also marks the start of the next arc, so the 50-52 episode yearly cap theory is very close to being cracked. The Dan Da Dan rerun is strangely absent after just starting They seem to be holding out on 11/8 which is gonna be a huge shift with Daima and the double BE being done.

Smiling Friends and Haha You Clowns will be running into December so I’d just assume they didn’t want 3 consecutive premier shows running at once, especially two of their heaviest hitters. Especially if they don’t have anything else immediately on deck. AS likes to have a new series premiering almost every week out of the year. They also have to consider the holidays, they would be wasting premier episodes in the last weeks of December.

He wasn’t quite a corpse yet since he still managed to fire a sticky load into Mira. Credit to Mira for being able to get the man there with a barbecued wiener, though she was probably scraping off skin chunks from her inner thighs for a week. Anyway, the interview mentions the child, so this seems to follow right after the final scene. The kid looked to be like 8-10 already so I assume some kind of magic is used to make Spear a zombie since he should be pretty well a skeleton by this point. Common Side Effects really stoked some new fears for us. Great show, but absolutely zero business being on Toonami. There was a window where OMGY really did feel like it was gonna show up, complete with TOM desperately trying to tell us why it belonged on the block.

Yea this works as a budget saver/excuse to lower the budget by eating up midnight for 10 weeks. Actually, we may never see midnight open up for more than a week or two this year. Primal, Rooster Fighter, Get Jiro, MAWS S3 and S4. Assuming each of those is 10 episodes minimum, that’s 40-50 weeks right there. Mix in some marathons and midnight is set all year without acquiring a single show. Theres also Super Mutant Magic Academy, which doesn’t have a home yet but seems very Toonami-coded. Though it may not be in the 2026 cycle given how little has been said about it.

Oh cool, so they aren’t doing the anthology thing and it’s still a Spear (maybe Fang too?) story. I wonder what he will be up to. ”Spear’s journey back to Mira”

Twitter anime “fans” are some of the dumbest people on earth who don’t realize that fanservice is one of anime’s biggest selling points. It was nice having something air on the block that actually felt like it belongs on AS for once. I guess I can understand some of the confusion since literal toddler content airs right before it. And furthering on how dumb they are, they probably think since it has more episodes, it’s just going to transition right into them with no formal announcement. Watch out for the classic “why is Dan Da Dan restarting” tweets in 3 weeks.

Not really sure where you get that from. As far as we know, 10/18 could be its last night and they just don’t return it on the November schedule. They did the same for Sailor Moon. I have often said simply extending to a 60 episode order would resolve all their issues. If they didn’t, pulling the show for 2 months is gonna send the wrong message to the viewers since you know they won’t be transparent on why it’s being pulled. I think there are a couple of reasons. One, it’s a courtesy to the audience since Daima will be right at its tail end at that point. Just them not blue balling the audience for 1-2 weeks. Secondly, they know as well as we do if just Uzumaki goes out, not a soul is tuning in. It’s a dirty trick to pull people in and hopefully get a few runoff viewers. Also surprised to see them not marathon such a seasonally appropriate show, with the added bonus of people not violently hating it. But, they may just be forward thinking and want people to rewatch it weekly rather than burning half of it out on one night. I was thinking that Bleach might pause after this cour, then run 3+4 sometime next year, but since it’s one of the only shows they trust as the lead, I’m starting to think they may just fire up cour 3 as our lead show for the rest of 2025 and early 2026 until Primal starts and we get saddled with those garbage reruns.

Well, the end of the year shitshow begins. For 10/18, Dan Da Dan replaces Lazarus as our rerun, so we know we aren’t getting S2 anytime soon. Blue Exorcist doubles up for the night to cover the empty slot. 10/25 gives us the second marathon of Uzumaki for 2025. But Daima and Bleach still air an episode so you can’t just skip the night. Halloween this year is on the following Friday, hard to believe they won’t take 11/1 off too. Also, I believe 10/18 marks the 50th episode of OP this year, so that may be another issue to deal with.

Hardly. Maybe if this was something that existed in the 90s during CNs peak it would be a symbol of the brand. A crap hole dressed up motel in rural Pennsylvania using mostly defunct characters that only opened a couple years ago was a symbol of poor money management, nothing else.

Honestly surprised this hasn’t happened already. The place kinda had a depressing aura about it. Like something a parent would pay a lot of money for but the kids don’t really enjoy it because it’s a basic ass hotel with some CN themed gimmicks in the lobby. I have also heard that this place is just a general dump hole with poor management and questionable cleanliness.

Well, the online schedule is blank as we are accustomed to, but, the post Toonami time is getting Primal and UWE. Obviously some set up for an early 2026 Primal S3 drop. If nothing else, thank god those are off the table for Toonami in October. Dan Da Dan slot I’m gonna give 50/50 odds to either Dan Da Dan S2, or Mashle S2. Lazarus slot I’m gonna say Naruto doubles up so they can get through as much as possible before its inevitable expiration in the coming months.

Plot to the horror script leaked - Tim and Eric are still employed True a bone chiller

Ok teenage actress here for the audition, for this role, you are gonna go ahead and put this gag in your mouth for literally 99% of the scenes you are in. Here’s your script, you may notice it’s blank. That’s because your character doesn’t speak, but she does make humming sounds into the gag occasionally, make sure they sound cute and you aren’t drooling everywhere. Oh and for that 1% of the time you do get to take the gag out, you will also have your taters out for everyone to look at. So just go ahead and sign here…hey where are you going?

Such is the cycle. Everyone is willing to do anything to secure Warner, but when they do, they would do anything to get rid of it. In the Twilight Zone.

Well, next years Super Bowl the Giants are gonna win because I wore this jersey while I sat on the couch.
