They have cut off reruns plenty of times before without finishing them, sometimes never even going back to them. I remember the thing Demarco said about not wanting interrupt people's story arcs, how someone is always finding a show for the first time yadda yadda yadda. But does keeping a rerun on longer over premiering a new series make any kind of business/programming/scheduling/viewer pleasing sense? And budget reset? They can't do anything to plan ahead for that, for the money they know they will have when the new budget comes? If it is some thing where they can't make a new deal until the start of the year right then and there that is pretty stupid and seems like a flaw in their business practices and strategy. I don't pay attention to ratings anymore, so I didn't know Attack on Titan was doing better than Promised Neverland. They could have just as well switched those two around while they were moving everything else this Saturday, if that were the case, though maybe Aniplex wouldn't be happy with that either. I haven't done the math or paid attention to when the last season is coming to figure out if this Attack on Titan rerun will finish up to line up with the finale of the series, but that is the only logic I can see with keeping that there, because it will be quite some time before it is finished if they are dead set on airing all the episodes. So, they either abort the AoT reruns, or get something new when Promised Neverland ends. Either one won't be too long of a wait. If Promised Neverland ends and they replace it with yet another rerun, well... And we already lost a premiere slot to re-air Promised Neverland in the first place. They are inching and inching the premieres away. And yes, the old "they like the show" logic. Even though we know Demarco and co. probably don't watch the block themselves and would have access to the episodes to watch at any time, even though their job is maintaining a linear broadcast network programming block (insert Palpatine IRONIC,) a show has to be on because "they like the show." Almost like it's a wubby blanket for Demarco. This was the same logic that demanded Cowboy Bebop must be rerun endlessly for eons on end. Yes, we should keep a rerun of a show on because they like it, even if it means losing a premiere. Makes enough Demarco Sense. How is that making better use of the shows they already have? They moved everything up, which could just as well throw off viewers and cause a decline in ratings, which happened before when they did that with the whole block, at least once. Did they try that twice? We have no way of knowing the shows will do better airing thirty minutes earlier, and have precedence that shows viewers don't adjust to such a massive shift. So really this is a lose lose. Demon Slayer should have never been airing so late to begin with, certainly not after Food Wars. Food Wars should have been airing after Black Clover at the earliest! But they never should have gotten Food Wars in the first place. And they went right into the second season, so we are stuck with it for a good while, and in undeserved prime time slot, no less. But I guess Demarco wanted to make sure we had sufficient cultural capital, so we had to see Food Wars to be complete as anime fans... That shit should be death-slotted and the albatross buzzkill shambling corpse of a filler-filled shit story that is Shippuden should be canceled, that would solve our time slot shortage. But it has to continue despite being many years past Japanese or even what would have been American premieres had it had no hiatuses or network switches, when most people who cared have already seen it elsewhere, with a story that had gone downhill a long time ago, with a sequel that failed and got canceled on Toonami, an effective dead franchise (or what should be.) I guess it remains because Demarco "likes the show." Remember when he said Naruto was one of the best shonens ever made? Yeah... And they did drop a premiere slot. Fire Force ended and was replaced with nothing. That slot was lost. Then they moved everything up. Go read what Demarco said again. It would be one thing if a rerun at the end of the block ended and they got rid of the slot it was in, or took off a rerun mid-run and got rid of that slot, but that's not what happened. I don't know what sort of Jedi Mind Trick you are trying to pull with that.

This episode is surely canon. https://www.animefillerlist.com/shows/naruto-shippuden Yep. This and the next are canon. Then 284-295 are filler. Bleh. Why they would do 2 canon episodes after 3 fillers then go to a fuckton of filler I have no idea. -
