good god i feel like the schedule changes so often that it's hard for anyone who isn't glued to twitter to keep up with it

It's not really their fault because so many of these fresher shows are short and they all end at around the same time as a result.

It's starting at the same time as it has since the beginning of July--11 PM. Dragon Ball Super has consistently been at 11 for almost a year now, and all the other shows have revolved around it like some kind of "fulcrum", which makes sense because it has the best ratings of any show on the block. With quite a few shows lasting only a cour or two, or being serial in nature, and some long-runners like DBZ Kai and Hunter x Hunter ending, they've really done the best they could to stay consistent.

I don't understand that at all. One of the 3 AM hour shows should have moved up instead of playing Episode #57 of AOT again, but then again, they'd just have to move something else down to 3:30 in its place next week. Granted, it DID do well in the ratings, but I doubt it will do as good as a rerun. They better be pulling out one hell of a show to have pulled THIS stunt!

By now I'm 100% numb to MHA staying where it is, or going somewhere else, or just being dropped all together. I exhausted all my invested care on it.

This has to be political.  Maybe Hulu is gonna start first run simuldubs with FUNi and Toonami decided to cut their losses.

That doesn't make any sense. Rather then pulling a FUNimation show out of the abyss, they...double up on...a newer FUNimation show, and a simuldub at that!?

Also, the name of this thread needs to change. Toonami is NOT shrinking! Sure, this week it will only contain 9 shows, but one of them will be doubled-up!

Once again, paranoia is reigning supreme on these boards.

 

 

I wonder what the show was if not one of the shows they announced at that anime convention a while ago

 

(I have suggestions for what I'd like it to be but nothing I like ever ends up on the block -_-;;)

What was that he was saying about Origin moving to 1?  Looks like people with actual business acumen slapped down Demarco's attempt to Gundam to a more prominent spot! :D

They did not plan on this, obviously, but rerunning that Attack on Titan episode is actually perfect timing.  I mentioned before that the uber reveal mega infodump would almost require a re-watching, and now we don't have to go watch it on our own and can just re-watch it together on the block!  Can discuss and ask questions among each other too, about the information we learned.

My Hero Academia sadly stays where it is.  Laughing my ass off that Demarco tried to promote Gundam instead of My Hero Academia.  He told Sketchor on Twitter that was going to try to talk the people responsible to see about moving it back... then he went on vacation. 9_9 Yep he was real serious about that.  I'm sure he got right on it.

The fact that Fire Force was negotiated down to the wire is... not a good sign.  They should have plans and plan Bs, Cs, and Ds well ahead of time.  They know when shows are ending.  Yet they constantly get caught unawares with their pants down?  And given the show isn't coming til next week and couldn't come this week, it most likely is not one of the four mystery shows announced at that convention, unless there was a snafu in the negotiations and they somehow recovered them just now.  I have a feeling Demarco is no Roger Smith, though.

There was also a tweet from Toonami Squad that claimed they have INSIDE SOURCES close to Williams Street that say Toonami is reportedly planning to premiere a new show, but plans could change.  Is Toonami Squad the Dave Meltzer of Toonami news?

They're going to need Fire Force to put out all those bridges Demarco burned.

Yeah, I was wondering how the block was shrinking and there was no replacement for SAO, but Fire Force is premiering.  I saw the Fire Force announcement before I came to the boards, so reading this thread after that was confusing.

I think DeMarco was stoned while typing that. They couldn't have been shrinking the block while still trying to get Fire Force, which probably also invalidates the Gundam move.

Exactly. @CountFrylock, would you please change the thread title already? The block is NOT shrinking! In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it expands to 10:30 (10:15 for one week to allow gen:LOCK a 45-minute timeslot) in order to give AOT S3 a full rerun at 3:30 AM. But for right now, we know it's staying at AT LEAST 10 shows until August 10th at the earliest, when Fire Force Episode 3's status becomes questionable.
