I Hope Blade Runner Black Lotus is much better than this.....because this one was a mess and really isn't something toonami should be proud of

this update is double MHA and a fena encore run(one week after the marathon so it isn't all that special)with naruto moved up and a bonus shorts block(which will probably be the rick and morty anime shorts) I Don't see what's so exciting about that

batman the long halloween just felt....underwhelming and lackluster in my opinion Part II dragged on way too much and villains were randomly thrown in just for the sake of having them appear even if it made no sense as was the case with the joker where his prior motivations went out the window in favor of being a henchman which for him seems weird as he doesn't seem like the kind of character to just play by someone else's rules i only really care about schedule changes that affect the block in the long run and couldn't care less about one night events as it's a "One Night" Event that only affects that night good or bad they are just temporary pauses on the regular block for one reason or another

exactly if anything announcing them sooner would stop people from assuming there's no new shows coming or toonami's just struggling that much to secure them that they'll be down to the wire announcements do we really need every schedule change to be treated like it's gonna be something amazing and a well kept secret? no but the way toonami handles them gives off this vibe that they are

i mean even on streaming services halloween specials are few and far between i can think of that adam sandler netflix one and the muppets haunted mansion on disney plus but there really isn't a lot or at least not a lot being advertised online i got three months of peacock premium for free and even looking on that....didn't see much in the way of new halloween content

i just don't know how I'm suppose to feel about this except disappointed and annoyed that there's no real excitement or good news to come from the november schedule update it's just "Double MHA to finish off the season and fena reruns to act as filler on the block" which seems underwhelming after three weeks of the regular block being on hiatus and silence regarding what's happening with the schedule in november toonami schedule updates are always shrouded in speculation and mystery these days....only for the reality to be predictable and disappointing I'm getting tired of that myself to be honest

couldn't they have waited until dr stone ended to insert a fena rerun? that's what confuses me here....going straight into the rerun after a marathon doesn't make much sense three reruns is a big ooof

It's extra disappointing because we'll be coming back from a fena marathon(airing the episodes) Fena Premiere run followed by a marathon followed by an encore run seems like overkill...but that's my opinion 11/13 is gonna be a really short toonami for me I'll watch blade runner Yashahime and food wars but after that...meh no interest in several reruns and naruto at this point is background noise for me(it's always a coin toss on If I'll actually pay attention or not)

we don't know what toonami's got planned maybe it's demon slayer S2 maybe it's something else entirely but I just wouldn't be so sure it's DS S2

Okay So really what's gonna replace MHA? because I'm not sure if demon slayer S2(dub)will be ready by then

Blade runner black lotus will replace fena on November 13th the replacement for black clover has yet to be announced since toonami's last schedule date was to include the long halloween parts 1 and 2 for 10/23 then a fena marathon for 10/30 I Think we'll get news about black clover's replacement the week of the fena marathon.... 11/6 will likely see toonami doubling up on MHA to finish season 5 since Blade runner black lotus will debut with a one hour premiere much like fena

another thing...him being near arkham asylum didn't make any sense whatsoever and the fact that the flash wasn't mentioned or seen at all makes it even weirder

Yeah i saw that...apparently Alice's VA Also thought the regular schedule was tonight and had to delete a tweet about it when someone informed her that nope it's batman movies tonight kind of weird they didn't see anything about it until now

tonight...On Toonami

that's not much of a joke...

Some could say Beware The Batman was outside toonami's control and only failed because cartoon network was losing faith in action cartoons eh maybe DC Content would be best as special events if it's on all the time then it becomes less of a treat and it's not so special anymore

i guess as much as i hate to admit it...Toonami probably does need less anime and more DC Content to stay afloat the average american couldn't give a damn about whatever anime Toonami scoops up(be it obscure or super popular) but mention batman and they will be drawn to the block like a moth to a flame

what happened?

also if i recall batman ninja had kind of a meh reception....Batman Under the red hood is good but batman Ninja is more like something to shit-post about than an enjoyable movie

I Just Hope Whatever they have planned for November is Amazing because Blade Runner by itself is a bit too obscure to be the only notable show for that month although nobody can really come up with much else...theory wise except for perhaps the second half of Assassination Classroom

Yes But three weeks is enough time to break a person's viewing habit if they simply aren't interested in that.....things change and with streaming services there's always the option to leave toonami behind completely if someone isn't patient enough they can just stream those shows and say "To Hell with waiting a month for this" its not like in the old days where if something like this happened You'd have to suck it up and wait for the regular block to return all it takes is for someone's impatience to become too much to handle resulting in them jumping on board streaming and suddenly toonami becomes irrelevant to them

it's a nice treat if someone likes batman but if not then It's hard to get someone to give a damn about two weeks of Batman movies they wouldn't care about no matter if they were on tv or a streaming service

doesn't change the fact that things can change and just because they said they'd get around to airing AC S2 doesn't mean they are guaranteed to air it we have no idea what the plans for november are they could be amazing or mediocre

I'm fine with that as long as the schedule isn't thrown into too much chaos over it.... this time though is different I'm guessing so many shows ending so close together caused the toonami crew to frantically try and pierce together a plan that's the only explanation that makes sense for putting the regular block on pause for a month....can't imagine they are having this much difficulty grabbing shows to fill those spots
