OwlChemist81 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) For only the 2nd time since its inception (the first being a regular after-school block since 2/29/2000 was a Monday), Toonami gets to air on Leap Day next year. Since this is kind of a bizarre day that doesn't always show up on the calendar, I think this is low-hanging fruit for Toonami to run a movie or some kind of special event. The only 2 possibilities that come to mind are MHA: Two Heroes and DBS: Broly. Those are both "low-hanging fruit" that are movies that happen to be associated with popular series, and it's probably been long enough for a theatrical anime movie to show up on ad-supported cable TV, though with non-anime that often takes more like 2 years, so maybe it still hasn't been long enough for either yet. Two Heroes is from July 2018, so it might be available. Your Name is definitely ripe for the picking as well, though probably slightly less likely since it doesn't have a connection to a currently-or-recently aired series.

The1gairon Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Totally agree! I saw neither movie, and that would be a great time to do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasqueradeOverture Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 They'll air a French translated black & white 1.33.1 silent 16mm version of Anomalisa because fuck you weeb. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I would love nothing more than CG Lupin to air. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpressAngel Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Is it a holiday where a large amount of their audience is likely to be preoccupied and unfocused on the block? I'm gonna go with no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginguy Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I've seen both movies in OP on Starz, so they aren't in Netflix jail. Honestly though they should just air Queen's Blade uncut cause fuck it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1gairon Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Funimation is screening the second MHA movie in early 2020, so Toonami could probably air the first one to celebrate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
