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.

Any thoughts?

In regards to Adult Swim, what do you guys think the rest of the year holds for Toonami? Granted, it's very safe to say the schedule's booked until October, but here's my take on the last couple of months. October 18th: Dragon Ball Daima airs its last three episodes in a row, while Naruto ends its contract at the end of the block. While this is due to Dan Da Dan and Lazarus both ending their seasons the previous week, this does result in a hiatus for Bleach. October 25th and November 1st: The first cour of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War will be our Halloween-adjacent marathon subject, taking up two weeks. November 8th (Prediction): My Adventures with Superman airs its third season, fresh off the success of the James Gunn movie, while Mashle airs its second season on Toonami. November 8th (Hope): Toonami loses a half hour at 3 AM, now airing for an even three-hour block. This is due to Naruto running out of episodes after #39 when the Rewind block stopped airing the show on Fridays on top of Lazarus ending their subbed run. November 29th: Either a Thanksgiving marathon postpones the lineup again, or Mashle airs back-to-back after Blue Exorcist bows out. December 20th thru January 3rd: For three weeks, Dragon Ball Daima takes over Toonami's whole block. Those on the Internet who despise the show will sleep undisturbed into the holiday season. January 2026: Superman continues their third season, Mashle finishes its second season, and Primal finally premieres its new season. One Piece may move to 1:30 AM. If it does, there may be a chance Toonami shrinks to a two-hour block next year.

Rooster Fighter to debut at New York Comic Con
Mr. Idea Box replied to Jman's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
Honestly, if this truly is Toonami's last original anime, then at least they're going out with a parody of an action show. Just like how Williams Street first began, in a sense. -
Rooster Fighter to debut at New York Comic Con
Mr. Idea Box replied to Jman's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
I didn't, and I brought it up. -
Okay. Thanks for telling me that.

Do you think we'll see the August 30th update come tomorrow? Or will they double down on one of the existing shows for a while?

Rooster Fighter to debut at New York Comic Con
Mr. Idea Box replied to Jman's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
While a November premiere for Rooster Fighter would be impressive, let's not forget that they planned for a Spring 2026 release for this show. -
One Piece Episode 739 Discussion
Mr. Idea Box replied to CorbeauKarasu's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
Isn't this our first time seeing Kaido in the anime? Says a lot when his first mainstream awareness came out at a much different time than Toonami is allowed to show.- 35 replies

Agreed on both charges, but if Futurama is only going to air Saturdays from 4 to 6 AM on the entire Adult Swim lineup, you might as well give them a fifth slot for the week.

Yeah, I suspected as such.

Well, this is a welcome surprise. First, Blue Exorcist gets its third season on Toonami, adding to the welcome wagon with open arms. Next, Naruto Classic may be off the Toonami brand, acting more as a lead-out alongside Superman. Whether this will be replaced or not, we shall see. Finally, if Naruto is off the block, this means Toonami loses a slot, which allows for the budget to be allocated into finding better shows on the top. This is huge news for those who stuck around the early months of 2025. However, there are two things I should say: One, there seems to be a vacant spot somewhere in September, even if BES3 airs back-to-back a few times this Fall. Two, and most crucially, part of me is waiting for the other shoe to drop and reveal something less tolerable. Just don't cry about the future if I happen to be correct, and I will shed a tear of joy if I'm wrong.
