On one hand it didn't really hurt MHA much if at all but on the other hand... it was total bullshit.

I figured this wasn't airing in Japan until 2021 but at least it's January. I'm looking forward to it.

I feel they should give up the 8pm hour but the reality is prime time is valuable ad-space for adult targeted ads and its not as useful for ads targeting kids.

It’s entirely possible they got pressured to swap Bobs to 8pm because American Dad is often TV-14. And along with that they decided to move encores of Bob from the middle of the night to 5am for a similar reason. Bob’s is the most PG sitcom they have and MHA pushes TV-14 often. It’s not unlikely that someone finally decided taking TV-14 shows out of the 8pm and 5am hour was more important than using Bobs where it would usually get better ratings. So it might not just be a performance issue for MHA.

I’m pretty sure they already paid for the 2nd half of SAOAWotU and they might have negotiated early this year for Fire Force season 2 but that’s a bit less likely.

Zing!

I suspect MHA will still air sometime on Saturday. This lasted a bit longer than I expected but given it didn’t even last for the whole series up to this point, it probably didn’t do great. I guess we’ll never see those ratings though.

I hope you're joking and you do realize this was a joke post. That said, the original dub voice of Killah aka the last image above was PRETTY BAD and no one is willing to admit they were the voice.

They can and hopefully will announce PA’s replacement before their online panel.

Mr. Horse: No sir, I don't like it.

One Piece doesn't try to look like anime

He’s been harsher on it in the past as I recall. I’m glad to hear he’s willing to give it another shot.

Twitter of course

But Jason didn’t like Avatar because it was fake anime so I don’t think he’d like Onyx Equinox. I highly doubt CR would just give them anything for free, WarnerMedia charged HBO Max a ridiculous amount of money to stream The Big Bang Theory and Friends. So even though he apparently likes Shield Hero (but hasn’t seen ReZero), it would probably cost just as much or more to get that from CR as it would to get something from another distributor.

While I won’t rule out something going wrong between now and July 25th, that online panel is supposed to have some Toonami show announcements aside from info on Uzumaki and Blade Runner: Black Lotus. But those could simply be SAO and Fire Force returning in Fall. The timing is such that they could announce a replacement for Mob season 1 that day but Paranoia Agent will end on July 25th.

A Super marathon and better still, Super leads the block starting July 11th. Just **** everything they aren’t even trying right now! I expected nothing and I am still disappointed. Dragon Ball Super reruns at the top of the block... let’s see them twist the knife even more and fill the next opening with My Hero reruns on top of that. Those new shows they’re announcing on July 25th cannot come soon enough.

I had a feeling the delay was due to dubbing both episodes at the same time. That works out for the best.

Patrick probably already recorded for episode 88.

They could run the new episode and then air an All-Might marathon...

That just makes me think they should play the episode with the United States of Smash on 4th of July. So Black Clover has another dubbed episode finally and MHA 87 should be able to air next Saturday. I hope that they held back on 87 so that they could stream 88 the week after but we'll see how it goes.

Disappointing but not entirely unexpected. This is actually a more inspired decision for buying time then I was expecting. I think this is a good way to keep the regular viewers engaged and avoid a schedule shake up while they wait for the next dub episode to be ready. I’d like to see more “power to the people” airings like this as opposed to repeating the same episodes. Why does this site not let we copy text from anywhere without screwing up the formatting?

I recall that show did pretty good ratings at 3AM. And I also recall the ratings of the whole block took an interesting downward turn the week after Dandy ended and Beware the Batman was burned off. Almost as if having a Batman show did garner some viewers that didn't stick around after it was gone and maybe Dandy did as well.

Ballmastrz is hilarious and awesome

The reaction to Mob reruns wasn’t super favorable either so I don’t know about people being satisfied with more anime reruns. Maybe FUNi kind of did that with Paranoia Agent. We don’t really know. It would be nice for Sentai, Viz, Aniplex, CR or FUNi to throw them a bone though.

I was talking CF but thanks for the cool guy comment.
