DIAMOND IS UNBREAKABLE AUGUST 18TH ON TOONAMI

We already have a backdoor schedule for July 21. If tomorrow reveals a blank slate for 7/28, that would pretty much confirm it right away.

Now, I really don't want this thread to degenerate into mindless speculation, so I'll just say that I hope the Toonami fans are accepting of DiU. It's apparently going to be a much different story compared to the previous three parts, although Stands will still be featured.

I suspect that FLCL Regressive will be pulled and AoT3 will take its place.

I don't see much in the way of expansion. The other thing might be Lupin finishing and things getting moved around a bit. Space Dandy will also be ending relatively soon as well.

There is room for things to move out, and P2+ needs some boosting. Fresh AoT S3 simulcast might well be that boost.  JJBA:DUI  won't provide that boost, though it might do well in Demo.

Pulled, no. Moved down, probably to 2:30 AM to replace Space Dandy on August 11th, now I could see that!

I've heard that Hamon makes a comeback and the link between Hamon and Stands is finally explained. Yes, there HAVE been Overdrives early in Part 3, specifically dealing with those flesh buds, but it's been mostly all about the Stands!

I didn't even think of new Attack on Titan replacing Dandy. They could probably move a bunch of shit down so the former can return on the 11th, in an interesting parallel of when the first season premiered.

FLCL Progressive is definitely going to rerun, and I don't see those getting pulled or even moved down unless it's an insane bomb. It'd be stupid to shunt it to 2:30 only to bring the slot back up a month later to premiere Alternative.

TV-MA episodes. can't have a full run before 9 pm.

Yeah, that might be an issue. I think it has been well established that there can be no TV-MA in the 8 PM hour, which rules out an encore for JoJo Parts 1-3 at 8:30. It's pretty much ALL TV-MA! But DBZ Kai, at 8:30, yeah I could see that!

Pop Team Epic is TV-MA now too so if anyone was thinking that would work weeknights...

i think 10 pm may be likely now. if we do get AoT s03 on the 28th i imagine it'd look something like:

10 - Dragon Ball Super

10:30 - My Hero Academia

11 - Attack on Titan Season 3

I think the best chance older Toonami shows have for a weeknight encore is at 9 PM if DBZ Kai takes over 8:30. Funny how this whole thing actually DOESN'T sound so ridiculous anymore, huh?

i said before that i think it'd be better to have 8 and 8:30 be non-TV-MA reruns (would have to be), 9-10 American Dad!, 10-11 Bob's Burgers, 11-12 Family Guy (The Cleveland Show on weekends only) and on fridays use 1-2 for TV-MA reruns and just eliminate reruns from Toonami, which would be 10-2 repeated until 6. i'm not sure what they would do after 2 am so i think repeating the block would be fine. this seems like an ideal conclusion to me at least.

I don't see the need for it that late. I don't think there will be an expansion. If it goes that late, it will just end up being stale much faster. It isn't that great to begin with, being stale on top of it limits its draw on marathon holiday weekends, when it might run with part 1 to fill out the night.

At first I thought this was a troll, and then I looked it up and saw it was legit. So now I'm left wondering what the hell Turner S&P is even thinking with rating shit. I can do their job ten times better than the monkeys that are actually in charge can!

But yeah, JoJo Part 4 on Toonami next month, that's bound to be fun.

(And I'm betting you anything if AoT S3 comes in, it'll be on a delay in August like with S2.)

Mmmm yes... DILF Jotaro in somehow even more terrible clothing is what I'm here for.

He looks even younger than he did in SDC.

...Of course he looked like a damn 30 year old man in SDC, so carry on.
