Why does it feel like the world is conspiring against me?  T__T

Some heads better roll at Williams Street tomorrow.  You had one job, Toonami!  ONE JOB!

At least Super, Boruto, JoJo, MHA, and Black Clover aired okay. 

But when SAO crashed, it went to commercial, came back and was still frozen, then more commercials, then Megalobox's first half aired 15 minutes early, then the ep restarted at its proper time.  At least we got the second half of Megalobox.

Tons of misaired bumps and tons of excessively aired promos and bumps aired throughout the night after this.

And Shippuden took its commercial break right after the OP!  What the fuck?!

Considering every other show aired perfectly fine, it seems more like there was a problem with Sword Art itself. Megalo repeating its first half wasn't a glitch, they probably just threw on the next thing that was ready to play to fill up the air time but didn't want to screw up the schedule all night by playing everything 15 minutes early.

It was this.

There was a scramble to ensure that at least something frickin' ran during the programing time and it was either loop the first half of Megalobox or commercial the ever loving crap out of the glitch time. -.-; I'm hoping it's just a re-programming thing and not an irreparable episode glitch thing. 

I think I'll just blame that cloned brain-in-a-box. He sounded pretty pissed right before everything glitched out. :D

Probably that is the case.  It's pretty lame that couldn't at least gotten the episode working by the time it came back from commercial break.  Maybe they tried on that failed, and that's why they played Megalo's first half.

But they should have been prepared for this.  Don't they test run things, or do they just throw stuff on assuming it will work?  The whole thing about the world conspiring against me... I just had another one of my shows malfunction.  For the first 45 minutes of Supergirl, they played this fucking horse show.  Get your shit together, networks!  Watching the last 15 minutes is useless, so I had to watch it on CW's website the next day.  They didn't re-air it the next Sunday, so unless they re-aired it sometime during the week or some other timeslot (I wouldn't know since I wasn't going to wait that long to watch the episode and I only watch CW for Supergirl and Charmed,) if anyone was unable or didn't know how to use CW's website to watch shows, they'd be fucked.  The same thing would be the case here.  They really do need to re-air this episode.  There was a lot of important information in it.  Without this episode, people will be completely lost.

I know the timing of when that glitch happened oh my god. :D

So, Demarco has addressed this.

Turns out it was an issue with MASTER CONTROL.

Like I just said, there was vital information in this episode, which I'm sure people could gather from the portion that did air, so without it, people will be really lost.  This is especially true for people who are unable or don't know how to watch the episode on Adult Swim's website or elsewhere online.  And like Poke said in his response, they did re-airings when they fucked up with Big O and Eureka 7, so...

How would the prepare for this?? These glitches are extremely rare! The worst glitch I seen before now that one that happened 11 years ago!

Did transmissions QC the file before ingesting it into the system? If not and it was just put into the playlist blind, that could be part of the problem.

I can't think of another reason. Usually if commercials are able to play (as well as the next show) it means the show file was corrupt and either master control or transmissions (depending on who's responsible for ingesting the show) is at fault.

I was about to say something to this effect, but @MasqueradeOverture already did it for me.  This isn't rocket science.  They should be testing things to make sure they work before they air them.

By the way, how do you add a name a name to that quote box?
