Wow a year or two ago I would have said Toonami was an unwatchable mess, but now it's actually pretty good. The only thing holding it back is the fact that they can't get any of this stuff when it's new.

FOOL!  The money had to be spent making FLCL sequels literally no one asked for instead!

Wow, so finally all 3 series of that infamous viewer poll have been acquired!

While it will only be true for 2 weeks, Mob Psycho 100 and One-Punch Man will be part of the block at the same time!

The question is, where does FLCL Alternative's rerun go? Does it even get one??

What viewer poll?

Hopefully not.  Alternative was basically a Slice of Life Seinfeldian Show About Nothing that remembered it needed to have a plot and develop one of its main characters at the last minute.  It was... ok, but not sure a re-watch will help it.  Progressive was good at least, if obviously not equal to the original FLCL.

It's official. 2018 is now KICKASS for Toonami.

I believe it's likely to replace one of the Jacks. If that's 3 AM, that's a hell of a tumble, but so be it. I personally thought it deserved at least 2 AM.

They will most likely put this earlier in the block and push a few shows a half hour later.

Was Demarco replaced by someone competent?

What's happening...... I don't like change... I'm scared.....

Bring back Gundam, TG, and FLCL sequels... please.... this doesn't feel right....

What do you mean, one of the Jacks?  There's more than one Samurai Jack episode now?  There wasn't the last few weeks.

Adult Swim Toonami was good for the first few years but then started a downward trend.   Looks like that is finally being corrected.  Not sure if Demarco has been replaced or not. :P He'll just make the excuse the mean old streaming services bought the shows out from under him.  God forbid there be competition!

Yep they just doubled it up, using one of them as a placeholder when they get a new show.

Oh.  So tomorrow night it starts double then.  I was gonna' say, it seemed impossible I missed any since those episodes went in chronological order. :P

I want Gundam back as much as the next guy but I guess that's gonna have to wait for a while. I'd say SSSS.Gridman has priority over Gundam right now, though I'll bet the plan now is to just let Megalobox replace AOT on November 17th. But IF it's not ready then, ????

There was a poll on Twitter that gave the 3 choices "Tokyo Ghoul," "Lupin The 3rd Part IV" and "Mob Psycho 100". MP100 came in first; TG 2nd; and Lupin 3rd.

The fact that TG and Lupin were on that poll always makes me think the poll consisted of about 10 people.

These are the people who watch Toonami, or, at least, the people who vote in these polls and claim they will watch these shows on Toonami if Toonami airs them.  Maybe they don't watch and are just sadists...

Oh good grief. Would G Gundam really be THAT bad?? Or maybe something like Origin or Thunderbolt. Not all Gundam is a confusing mess like Unicorn, though somehow after half-watching the first 5 episodes ad-nauseum for 2 weeks I kinda understand the series better, and am looking forward to NT's eventual theatrical run.

Also, nobody's mentioned it yet, but I believe there might be more to this deal than meets the eye. I believe that this is a precursor to a simuldub of Season 2 airing on Toonami next year! If there were ever a time to limit the marathons to get there faster, it's now. But I'm sure we'll still get 3 'thons in what's left of 2018, which means Toonami will likely air 7 episodes of MP100 season 1. Then 4 episodes in January, 1 in February, and we'd be at Season 2 by the 2nd Saturday in February. Moreover, it occurs to me that if S2 is also 12 episodes long, that's a perfect precursor to AOT S3 Part 2 in May!

Confusing and also terrible characters like crybaby bitch boy Banagher along with a bunch of other unlikable fuckwits.  And I was actually able to follow it just fine.  It's just... bad.  Only good Gundams I have seen so far are G Gundam and IBO Season 1.  Everything else has been cancer.   Do we really wanna roll that dice again?

Hot damn! This is a great announcement. I can't wait for the great animation in this show to wash over us and make everything trippy.

The fact that they're announcing a show for next week means they definitely went down to the wire on this one. And it's quite the surprise, as I assumed nothing new was coming until Megalo Box. Heck, there's still a chance we could get another new show after Attack on Titan takes a break, which would make this last part of the year even sweeter.

Toonami resurgence?  About time Demarco stopped making idiotic decisions.  I wonder if a bowling ball fell on his head and changed his personality, Fred Flintstone style.

Quick! Get any more bowling balls off the shelves, lest another falls on his head and he makes poor decisions again!

So do y'all think that Toonami will play the 2nd season of MP100 immediately after the first? It IS a FUNi dub after all, right??

Never mind--it's Bang-Zoom. Has Bang-Zoom ever done a speedy dub?? Just about everything they've done for Toonami has been about 8 months or longer behind the Japanese release, so I guess something that's 2-3 months would be a new frontier indeed.

Toonami isn't typically able to get new stuff.... so probably not.

Unless it's Attack on Titan or an FLCL sequel, you're probably right. But don't forget Black Clover is only like 2.5 months behind the Japanese release too. Mob Psycho 100 being released NOW is a suspiciously odd choice. If Bang-Zoom IS in on the production now, then theoretically, like Space Dandy it COULD be done.

This could be a HUGE ace up Toonami's sleeve.

It’s rare for BZ to be as fast as FUNimation but they were 6 weeks behind Japan for Durarara x2 when the dub premiered on Hulu.

Aside from that they have done dubs fast enough to release 12-13 episodes right after the show ends in Japan for Netflix.

I think 4-6 weeks behind Japan is doable for BZ now and maybe they can do 2-3 weeks even but they’re not pulling that off unless the materials arrive early.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Durarara!!x2! That WAS a speedy dub! So I guess what we're saying here is maybe IF it's backed up enough, the 2nd season COULD actually follow the first! Well, we know we're not getting a marathon on the Saturday before Halloween now, but I'd say Thanksgiving weekend and the last 2 weekends in December are still likely. Plus we might get some kind of special event on November 3rd, but I doubt that will affect MP 100. So then MP 100 gets 7 episodes in 2018 with 5 remaining in 2019. If the Japanese airing of Season 2 starts in early January, then it certainly seems a DRRRX2-style simul-dub of Season 2 is doable!

And if February is too soon then they could always replace Mob with something in February and have season 2 replace Megalo Box in March. Either way if CR is willing, Mob season 2 could potentially have it's dub premiere on Toonami.
