Not surprised about the cartoons, but I am surprised about Fena and Black Lotus. The way I interpreted what Demarco said about them was that AS washed their hands of them because they couldn’t come to an agreement with Crunchyroll. I assumed that meant Crunchyroll would still keep them in their backlog of forgettable originals. Do we know if any other CR originals are being erased? Or is it exclusively the AS associated ones? Id say this should probably be taken as an early warning sign for Shenmue which will probably meet this same fate soon.

You are right, nothing is actually stopping them from doing so. But like I said, I have the tiniest bit of faith in Demarco recognizing they have laid FLCL on pretty heavy this year and it’s time for it to take a break so it doesn’t grow permanent audience animosity like Primal S2. Even the Shoegaze marathon promo calls it a “final curtain call”. Backlog wise, they have enough to fill slots up, but that’s the wrong question. Sure, AoT could fill up slots for 6 months or more than a year, but is that actually going to put asses in seats to justify making bumpers and stuff for it? Or could they just thoughtlessly throw Futurama in that time for the same or better returns without the Toonami packaging legwork? Full disclosure, I don’t think a cut is coming, but I do find the secrecy around 11/11 suspect now that we know IGPX isn’t anywhere close to being ready for a full run.

Stuff has been weird the past few weeks. Going from stretched, to cropped to cropped a different way to what I believe is now the correct way. Hopefully they stop messing with it now that it’s right.

Hmm, that’s not what I expected, I guess that explains why Toonami is even getting DST this year in the first place. If they were gonna do something simple like that, they could have just given us the full schedule rather than announcing Dr Stone without a graphic or timeslot. Naruto simply cannot keep up this 2 per week pace, they have already lost about 3 months worth of episodes. Here are the two possibilities I see. 12 - Scavengers/New acquired show 12:30 - Dr Stone 1 - One Piece 1:30 - One Piece 2 - Naruto 2:30 - any rerun but FLCL Or, using their trickery from last year 12 - Dr Stone 12:30 - One Piece 1 - One Piece 1:30 - Naruto There is also a mix and match option where they do add Scavengers, but still cut 30 minutes

Oh, it’s a full 12, I misunderstood the article about it and thought it was only 6. With that, there is no real urgency to get it on the schedule then, and I agree with you that it’s better to have it run with Dr Stone so they end the same time. With their dub capabilities now, they could have the special dubbed before Thanksgiving TBH. Then either air it then over a pointless marathon, or they slide it in sometime in December.

Normally I wouldn’t, but there are just a bunch of abnormalities here pointing to one. A Saturday schedule update, Dr Stone announcement with no timeslot or graphic, Naruto’s rapidly declining episode count making further double ups seem unlikely, just a lot of signs pointing to there being a little more to this than what they have told us. And for now, I’m still leaning towards midnight Scavengers being the answer, they will just run an episode before the Thanksgiving marathon to get it all in before 2024. So it still won’t be two acquired premiers, which is usually the thing we never get. Max probably just had an embargo on when they can reveal it, and if they said Dr Stone at 12:30 that unintentionally reveals too much.

I feel like if double Naruto or more reruns was the answer, they would have dropped a graphic for the 11th. Announcing Dr Stone here was a clear “we know this schedule sucks hard please don’t quit” move, but no graphic makes it feel like they haven’t finalized the 11th yet and may have one more surprise waiting.

It’s times like this I wish we still got full ratings, airing the same thing back to back is just a slap in the face. Toonami doesn’t actually run during DST, they could have just aired 3 episodes of IGPX then, even making it 5 wouldn’t have made a huge dent in its future role as likely our 2:30 rerun. What’s most interesting here is they low key announced Dr Stone AGAIN rather than putting any hype to it. Last time it was slipped on a schedule bundle without a word, this time it’s an extra sentence tacked onto a shitty schedule. No timeslot and no schedule graphic, does that mean they have something else? I suppose Scavengers could still fit if they run an episode ahead of a couple marathons.

I know our prevailing theory right now is Scavengers premier on Thursday with a Toonami rerun on Saturday, but the online schedule for November 2 is up on TV Passport, and Scavengers is nowhere to be seen. Of course, that doesn’t necessarily mean anything, it could premier on a different day, or AS could change the schedule before this point, something they are not averse to doing. But, it does give us an excuse to theorize an alternative schedule to end the year on. Smart money is still on Dr Stone, without Scavengers, likely our lead show, but that does leave room to squeeze in one more show and have a slightly less pathetic send off for 2023. Fridays have been our Facebook news days lately, perhaps a big reveal in the morning?

As brainless as I think Demarco is, I do think he has a little bit of sense to recognize that the audience is FLCL’d out at this point. 2 runs of the original, 1 of Prog and Alt, and 2 runs of Grunge and Shoegaze is an FLCL overload. Maybe they tag back in 6 months from now, but I don’t think we are gonna see another loop this year. Reruns always seem to be a wildcard, now and then something cool falls in their lap to play, others they just throw whatever on because they know no one will watch it anyway. Wouldn’t be surprised if they opted to wait on using Superman for marathon fodder until next year when the new season is closer to airing. Makes for an easy two night marathon before the new season premiers, not on Toonami of course.

Elon and Ice-T start out as themselves but eventually reach a joke. Hugh Jackman never reached the joke part.

Can’t even blame the voice change, the episode itself was just bad. Mr Poopybutthole is a funny side character, not someone who should have an entire episode dedicated to them. On top of that the episode just lacked humor, and is falling into the late stage Fox show rut of just shoving in celebrity appearances with no thought to them at all. Unfortunately, the fanbase of this show are easily pleased morons. The next 8 episodes could be equally bad, so long as that 10th one inches the Rick prime story forward, the season will end with an 80% minimum.

Demarco confirms Scavengers will get a Toonami run, though if it was airing 2 weeks from now he doesn’t seem to be acting like it. That said, in recent years he doesn’t seem to have a clue what scheduling is doing till they do it.

If you add up all the time from each airing of the Mortal Kombat commercial, it evens out to an average movie length.

DST always throws me off so excuse me if I’m getting it wrong, but I believe that the blocks current timeslot causes it to end right before DST flips the clocks back. I guess they could do something with the time, but if the block is over it’s probably easier and cheaper to just toss an hour of their own content there and call it good. I’m thinking if they want some more mileage out of AoT, they stick it on Thanksgiving, then maybe if we are lucky, part 2 can get wedged in somewhere before the year ends. And while we are on the topic of DST, I’m super butthurt that bill to abolish it for good was never voted on. We could have been done with this time shift nonsense for good, but no, here we are again a few weeks away from setting clocks back again.

All of October is locked in, so it’s about time we kick around the final 2 months of the year 11/4 - Scavengers/Dr Stone/OPx2/Naruto/rerun 11/11 - Scavengers/Dr Stone/OPx2/Naruto/rerun 11/18 - Scavengers/Dr Stone/OPx2/Naruto/rerun 11/25 - marathon 12/2 - Scavengers/Dr Stone/OPx2/Naruto/rerun 12/9 - Scavengers/Dr Stone/OPx2/Naruto/rerun 12/16 - Scavengers/Dr Stone/OPx2/Naruto/rerun 12/23 - Scavengers marathon 12/30 - Grunge/Shoegaze marathon With this, Toonami ends the year with a pathetic resume of only two acquired shows for the entire year. And an open slot up front going into the new year, but Dr Stone can cover that. Only thing here I think might have a chance to be wrong is if they don’t get to start Dr Stone that soon.

No doubt this will be what clogs up the lead slot for the rest of the year. Probably won’t even have the decency to give us the premier.

I wouldn’t call our last shot at something new going to the second half of a season lucking out, but I suppose it’s lead material at least.

I’m pretty sure it’s over and not a single peep about Uzumaki. It’s not a delay if you never acknowledge it’s existence!

Would rather see it cancelled over being kept in zombie mode with more DBZ. Praying Disney or anyone with fatter pockets secures an exclusive deal with it so Demarco doesn’t waste time going after it.

Huh, YOLO was not on my bingo card for a renewal. Hoping the ATHF team can get back into the groove so we can get more. Anyway, that’s all well and good, but uhhh, where’s the Uzumaki reveal?

Everyone step up, place your bets on the chance of another Uzumaki delay announcement.

ATHF does not work beyond 11 minutes. And “dude Bezos and/or Elon BAD” parodies are so played out at this point it never stood a chance from conception. A return to 11 minutes should help it get back on track.

Oh boy more fanfic tier garbage that Demarco will sacrifice the entire block to try to secure.

AQUA TEEN WONT EVER BE CANCELLED AQUA TEEN WONT BE DISMANTLED
