Even if it's a union dub this time (and I hope it is) there's no guarantee Laura Baily will return. She didn't return for Tiger & Bunny season 2 and that one is a union dub but it's possible that role just wasn't important enough to her. Alain Mesa sounds like he's imitating Jamieson Price who was imitating Marc Worden. It sounds fine, good even. He can probably yell out the Spanish attack names better than Price and sound more like a teenage boy. It's a real monkey's paw for Vic to be replaced by Todd. Its really quite obnoxious. It will forever delight me that NYAV Post recast Todd in Fena though they shouldn't have cast him in a role in the first place. I never much cared for Derek Stephen Prince as Ishida, I would not have minded at all for him to be recast with an actor who can sound younger or was an Asian actor. Alan Lee or Stephen Fu would be great as Ishida. Ichigo and Orihime always had Asian VAs that could pass for teenagers, though I don't think either are Japanese. I do hope they get David Lodge back for Kenpachi but if they haven't reached out yet then chances are they're not getting him back. I haven't been much of a Bleach fan since I fell off during the Bount Arc and I only rekindled that interest a bit when I started watching it again on Toonami in 2012 but I gotta say hearing Number One blare as the quad takes down a bunch of hollows was really hype.

Zaslav retaliates by forcing Toonami to stop playing One Piece. I joke but I wouldn't put it past the guy. A One Piece movie gets a wide release, a promotion with a national food chain (Carl's Jr/Hardees), promotion in Times Square and it wins the Friday box office of it's debut weekend? But One Piece ISN'T popular in the US right? SUCK ON DEEZ NUTS HATERS!!!

Believe it or not, I think a lot of people will just roll with it if they're not aware of the movie. The thing they might question is why Riko has a different looking white whistle and why she refers to it by the name Prushka. They might just assume the elevator that brought them down to the 6th layer was no big deal and it wasn't difficult to get to. Some viewers might look into why things jumped ahead a bit but most probably won't stop watching it out of confusion.

I'd laugh pretty hard if come December it's not MHA season 6 that joins but instead Bleach. But yeah it looks like either the pre-existing deal or some influence from Toho (not to be confused with Toei) brought MHA back for another season, Toonami just doesn't get to air it QUITE yet. Certainly a downgrade from the turnaround for seasons 4 and 5 but it wont end up being a full season behind. Bleach might have to wait till YashaHime ends or some arbitrary number of weeks has passed but it still leaves me perplexed as to why Hulu would stream the dub on Fridays rather than Monday with the simulcast but maybe they just wanted to have them on different days. If MHA season 6 is starting in December than November is a bit of bummer besides Made in Abyss season 2 airing but good things do seem to be on the horizon for December. Time to start guessing what series will get holiday marathons, particularly on the last two Saturdays of December. I'm inclined to think they'll do a One Piece Punk Hazard marathon one of those weeks just because they can but they're short on options for the other days. MiA season 2 will have 6 episodes aired by December 24th so that could be an option as well. And as for Thanksgiving they could potentially rerun the whole Villain arc of MHA season 5 before starting season 6 in December. But here's a thought. The block is down to six slots now and they happen to have 6 episode long seasons of a series that they will be pushing next year... so maybe they'll do FLCL marathons on 1 to 3 of those Saturdays?

We’re at the point when double One Piece at midnight is probably a better choice than giving YashaHime the top slot. So if they do have two new shows then maybe they should toss YashaHime after OP or even after Shippuden. They probably won’t bury YashaHime at this point but it sure hasn’t done the block any favors.

They kinda pulled a reverse Fena and it certainly was a more satisfying ending than Fena. Part of me feels like the big reveals had to all happen in this episode but they could have gotten to the tension in episode 3 by the end of episode 2 and showed some more suspicious activity from the Kushide’s. Short of Yuri acting weird in the OP, the knife in episode 2 and something Kushide said in episode 1 there was hardly any reason to suspect the Kushide family until the dang episode preview. Personally I thought Yuri was sus by episode 2 but I didn’t expect her parents to be god worshipping psychos.
-
They have kept a necessary premiere on for Thanksgiving weekend before so they’d probably run Bleach that weekend. Dec 24th and 31st though are another matter. They can feasibly catch up in January but I would not be surprised if Viz didn’t upload an episode on Dec 30th or maybe even the 23rd since somewhere in December the recordings are bound to take a week or two off for the holidays.

CNS and WBA will combine while Hanna Barbera Europe will continue to exist as its own unit. Not the kind of synergy I’ve always wanted to see from WBA and The Cartoon Network. They say CNS will continue to produce content for CN, AS and HBO Max but with HBO Max’s move away from animation (they specifically note adult animation) there will be more shows developed for other networks and platforms.

lineup Lineups for 10/22 & 10/29 announced
Sketch replied to OwlChemist81's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
Man there will never be a time when Toonami will publicly announce they have nothing coming. What TV network does that? What streaming service does that unless they are admitting to cancelling a show? Why would any of you think they'd ever do that. And beyond that the nature of these deals makes it so things can and have changed in the months leading up to when a show was supposed to air and believe it or not they probably are constantly trying to avoid "having nothing" with whatever budget they have to work with. I know some of you guys don't like when DeMarco gives false hope but do you really want him to go on Twitter and say "hey guys don't expect anything to start in November or December" that's probably only going to fuel the "WBD is just about ready to kill Toonami" fire. If nothing's coming I don't think he needs to spoon feed us that info. We can brace ourselves for NOTHING on our own and be pleasantly surprise if its something. It's actually kind of curious why they don't just go easier on themselves and simply shorten the block. They have done so plenty of times prior. If they have absolutely no budget to acquire anything then it's as simple as dropping an hour or even two but they don't do it. They seem bound and determined to fill 12-3am with block premieres one way or another but if they were not allowed to air Primal this year you gotta wonder what they would have done instead. I know it's wishful thinking at this point that they got Bleach or MHA much less both but it would explain why they couldn't start a show on October 22nd. And if they couldn't get Bleach or My Hero Academia, chances are they still tried and because of that will have to come up with something sorta last minute. But if they did get Bleach or MHA or even both, that would certainly account for a sizable amount of their budget and we can debate amongst ourselves whether or not getting one or both of them was worth having more of a dry spell this year. Bleach in particular would make for a lot of content for next year. And if whatever is coming feasibly could have started on October 22nd instead of November 5th... They still might as well stall till November and stretch out whatever content they have coming.- 31 replies

They announced returning cast members (the most obvious ones) so they're gearing up to dub it but there's been no mention of when the dub will be available to watch on Hulu or Disney+ internationally. Is that a sign that Toonami is getting the dub? Not really but it does leave the possibility open for them to even get the dub premiere. I'm pretty sure the dub will be on Hulu regardless.

MHA Season 6 dub premieres next saturday on crunchyroll
Sketch replied to CountFrylock's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
I'd much prefer for two new shows to join in November even if they aren't the same week. If only Bleach or MHA does then Toonami will be fine but pretty dull still.
