Here’s the Toonami Fan Community Summit on YouTube

This is so wild. If ever get Space Jam’d I’m calling Luffy and the crew I would love that. Unfortunately in the current era it would probably just be a mobile game.

About the only way I see them filling both 12:30 and 1am with a network premiere on May 10th is a double length Demon Slayer episode starting the Hashira Training arc. That would sync up to finish the same week as the Lazarus dub. That arc has 3 longer eps. What to do about the 5 weeks where eps 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 only fill one slot? I kid you not I expect them to run Oh My God, YES as filler. It’s got a sci-fi setting and has some anime inspired designs. With 10 quarter hour eps it fits snuggly into that space without starting another acquisition. Then everything 12-1:30 is done the same week as the Lazarus dub which makes it even easier to take 2 weeks off for Lazarus marathons on July 5th and July 12th. Then maybe it’s time for Primal season 3. One would hope by then they will have bought some dang shows!

With double OP airing 1:30-2:30 starting next Saturday it’s all the easier to stick Lazarus subs at 1:30 or 2am whenever they feel like it.

Sling still shows it on Saturday albeit at 12:30-1:30

Back to 2 network premieres and Kai is out. I’d sooner believe they realized they can’t run Kai again than they were responding to negative feedback. Though they could have doubled up Naruto instead. Still gotta wait till 1:30 for the buried treasure but for some folks this is enough to convince them to watch all of 1:30-3:30 live, perhaps myself included now that I don’t have to get up as early on Sundays and Mondays. Interesting they chose to double up OP rather than Blue Exorcist. Do they have a good reason to finish Common Side Effects and Blue Exorcist season 1 the same week? I guess we’ll see. This also gives them a place to slip Japanese language Lazarus in replacing OP any given week so hopefully in May there’s two additional network premieres at 12:30 and 1am.

Well it probably won’t get written off but a second season seems very unlikely.

I’ll come back once all the new season of Righteous Gemstones is out. Then I’ll watch Creature Commandos and some other stuff they added since October and then drop it again. I can’t help but think they still would have turned this profit without writing off so many projects most of which frankly weren’t big budget projects. And they’re morons for not releasing Coyote vs ACME after inadvertently building interest by threatening to vault it. But the silver lining is that they probably won’t be so quick to write off projects that aren’t immediately successful now that Zaslav has dug WB/D out of the hole AT&T left them.

CSE also ends in May the same week as Blue season 1. But we might very well be in for Subbed Lazarus taking one of the “premiere” slots. I don’t think it will be 1am but I would not put it past them to stick it ahead of One Piece shifting it down to 2am. Trailer was good and the dub clips sound decent so consider me still excited but with the major caveat that it’s all there is to be excited about till at least May 10th.

9 EST / 6 PST The VOD will be up after and later I’ll post it as just audio.

Seems like this is probably the most appropriate thread to mention this... I'm getting together reps from Toonami Squad, Toonami Escape/Era and Toonami Faithful to have a roundtable discussion live on twitch this Friday at 9PM, actually probably starting at 9:15 Tune in if you're interested! twitch.tv/toonamifaithfulchannel

I love to see the MAWS universe expanding and a Green Lantern animated series is a very welcome addition. Hopefully it's not limited to Max and gets to air on TV. Super Powers could be fun but I can't be the only one that smirked at the character (which I presume is Black Lighting) going by just Lighting. Sorry if it's not PC but Black Lightning is a way cooler sounding name and ya know... they could have gone with Superbolt. Let this one air on CN please. Starfire getting a solo series is pretty rad but I can't help but find it bizarre that Jessica Cruz and Starfire get animated series before Wonder Woman.

Here I thought Sony being on the production committee (according to MAL, which does not list CN) that it meant Fire Force season 3 was more than likely not joining Toonami, so this is very interesting. Well the earliest we potentially get it is May 10th baring expansion or dropping a show mid-run. But it would be something at least.

Nope. Not rewatching this on the block. I don’t hate it but I do not have any interest in rewatching it.

It joins Max soon.
