Primal Season 3 teaser, premieres in January
Mr. Idea Box replied to viperxmns's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
Surprised to see them lay down a January release for this season. But that is only 2-3 months away. In terms of the story, part of me wonders if the anthology route was the better path to take for this season, based on the news we have of it. I assume this will get a Toonami slot during their annual budget refresh. But will it be the Midnight headliner, or does it get outshone and air at 12:30 instead? -
Smiling Friends Season 3 Discussion Thread
Mr. Idea Box replied to Blatch's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
How this fits so well, I'll never know. -
Thank you. Would that mean the marathon reruns the first six episodes? If they do tackle a weekly rerun, wouldn't that mean they start with Episode 7? I would be flummoxed if they DID get One-Punch Man, as current business rates on Toonami would likely not allow for such a big grab these days. However, in the event that this does become the November schedule, I'd prefer if the 3 AM rerun was Daima, simply because it's more recent than Naruto.

Dynamite Comics shows off preview of Thundarr the Barbarian

Okay, this looks VERY promising! -
Good News: Dan Da Dan is a better show than Lazarus, and airing it in the 2:30 AM rerun slot gives it great accessibility for those who can get both coastal broadcasts. Uzumaki isn't delaying Daima or Bleach by a week, meaning you can just tune out after 1 AM and not miss a thing. Dragon Ball Daima is in its final few episodes, leading to a November finale. Toonami already aired the complete Naruto series, and so far, they've aired nearly all the episodes they picked up for Toonami Rewind last year. Bad News: The end of the year stalling tactics rear their heads again, most likely due to blowing their budgets during the summer season. Uzumaki may become the new Halloween staple, thus reminding everyone about its errors. Dan Da Dan's next season won't be appearing as fast as the fans want. Classic Naruto is either getting extended until the end of the year, or they're getting ALL the episodes back. Hopefully, their holiday season lineup doesn't end up hurting too bad. Maybe something at Midnight can make it worth watching.

If the post-Toonami time is getting two shows, that means one of the following scenarios: Primal and UWE are in rotation together at 3:30, starting with the former. Futurama's only time on Adult Swim is shrinking to 90 minutes, or even 60 minutes. We are losing the 3:00 time slot in November. I hope it's Option #3, but I'm just hedging my bets to be sure. I was kinda expecting Primal reruns to gum up the rerun hour at the end of the night, but airing them in the post-Toonami hours was a nice change of pace. Both pretty good options. However, if they still do a Halloween marathon, don't be surprised to see them stall for a couple of weeks next month, waiting for a November premiere at 12:30. A very reasonable answer, for better or worse.

Tim and Eric are back together working on a horror script
Mr. Idea Box replied to Jman's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
This oughta be good. -
Okay, guys. We're officially two weeks from seeing the new lineup. Namely what's replacing DanDaDan and Lazarus, and perhaps this year's Halloween marathon. What do you think they're filling the openings with?

Smiling Friends Season 3 to premiere October 5 on Adult Swim
Mr. Idea Box replied to Jman's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
In this day and age, we needed this show. And we especially needed it to be successful. -
I can sympathize with your viewpoints, and even agree with a good amount of them. But with the negative feedback for Fixed, I don't have much hope for Safari Heist.
