PokeNirvash Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 We didn't need to hear it anywhere. Once we heard that FLCL was moving down by half an hour to make room for My Hero Academia, it was only obvious that Progressive was gonna premiere at midnight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korosu Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 seems like something they'd have clarified immediately, if so much is riding on the show doing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Still, this clarification isn't really something that should be treated like actual breaking news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokeNirvash Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) Oh, so we're now just gonna pretend that MHA pushing FLCL down a slot wasn't an obvious reason to assume Progressive would follow up in that same slot?

korosu Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 when there's no mention of the time changing along with the MHA announcement, yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatch Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 It's a new season vs. a rerun of the original. I thought FLCL Progressive was going to snap back to the original timeslot when it was ready, so it's nice to get some confirmation that it will not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokeNirvash Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 One that's only airing as a warm-up for Progressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korosu Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 indeed. moving it down a slot shouldn't make one think the second season's time has changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 It made me think the second season's time would change, and isn't that enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korosu Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 only if it's "would" i agree you can't put anything past them. moving black clover to 1 then 1:30 in such short time certainly made me think it possible they'd move MHA to midnight once FLCL: Progressive started, then to 11 once Kai ended since the network has never had a problem with frequent lineup changes. i feel like advertising 11:30 and not specifically announcing the time has changed for season 2 is detrimental. no news sites seem to be aware of the change. all we have saying it is the BTS feature, not even a facebook post or DeMarco tweet. i guess i just expect them to take this seriously.

PokeNirvash Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 And here's the part where I just quit trying to prove you wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 As Jotaro, who's been shoved down to 12:30 now, would say "Oh, Good Grief!" Last night's "behind the scenes" interviews vignette that aired during FLCL and Shippuden was really the first on-air confirmation we've had that FLCL Progressive WILL indeed air at Midnight. Lots of us were thinking there was no WAY FLCL Progressive, a show Williams Street themselves produced, would be at Midnight as the 4th show on the lineup, but it seems that's what they intend to do, and it speaks volumes about how popular they're assuming MHA is gonna be that they're using THAT as a lead-in. The question is, with DBZ KFC the new "lame duck" show, what replaces it at 11? There's probably a very small number of series that could air between the juggernauts that are Super and MHA and still hold a candle to them, but maybe that's not the point. Something lesser-known WOULD get a pretty good rub on both sides from those heavyweights! I'd say "AOTS3," but that won't be ready yet until AT LEAST 7/21. I guess moving Super back down to 11 is a possibility, but then you would apparently have to have a prime-time premiere outside of Toonami again--Yuck! It's also possible that MHA moves up to 11 after Episode 7 and an Independence Day "weekend" marathon on June 30, and something new moves into the 11:30 timeslot on 7/7 to lead-in to FLCL 2 episode 5. What they plan on doing with AOTS3 if they get it is then the next mystery. To replace FLCL Progressive at Midnight on 7/21 IF Toonami gets to air the dub before Japan even gets to air a subtitled edition would work, but I'd say more likely we just get a repeat of Progressive on 7/21-8/25 leading-in to Alternative on 9/9, and JoJo instead gets replaced once again by AOT in mid-August. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1gairon Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Do you think they planned for MHA to begin over a month before their own original show came along, or was MHA a sudden acquisition that they scrambled to find a timeslot for?
