AnimationFan14 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 “Peer into the darkness, and the darkness will peek back. Prepare yourself for the Halloween marathon of The Promised Neverland! On October 31st, Toonami is taking over the night with two bonus hours to show you all twelve episodes of season 1. Get ready for a grisly Halloween with Toonami, from midnight to 5a!” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1gairon Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 ..... is Halloween on a Saturday/Sunday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3ngag3 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Halloween is on a Saturday, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Sure, I guess. The show is on every streaming service now and it’s not like anyone will be doing anything this Halloween. The Amazon Prime series is still a few years off I would gather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokeNirvash Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) But that's 5 hours, meaning they're airing 10 episodes, not 12. Craps, forgot about Daylight Savings. Edited October 13, 2020 by PokeNirvash 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I'm not sure I could make it through this marathon. Damn show made me shit bricks constantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountFrylock Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) so....with Black clover off the block until possibly early 2021 and SAO's dub either finished or almost finished i have to wonder when this marathon was planned....because marathons in the covid age of toonami are mainly used to stall for time since nobody's going anywhere anyways Edited October 24, 2020 by CountFrylock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) That's not really true, at least not in my town. Bars are open late again. It's not like late March and April, when everything was takeout-only and shut down at 7 PM, so it's once again a sacrifice to stay home and watch Toonami.

HardcoreHunter Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I might be here for it especially since I doubt I'll be doing anything else. Probably just be sure to take a nap since I'd be hunting that morning. Going to be Halloween a Harvest/full Moon and Daylight Saving. Feels like the happenings for some spooky shit to go on. Would be great if they gave SARA an Elvira holo form and voice to host the night. Feel like something special should be done. There won't be another halloween on a Saturday till 2026.

Tom and SARA don't even have moving mouths so there isn't even anything to lip sync. Really just shows a lack of passion for the block. Would be really cool though if they took a page from horror hosts and gave facts about production and actors during the breaks, and read fan mail. It's a little more work, but that is what people tuned in for. It made the experience feel more personal and special and got to feel like you were a part of something.

Evangelion 1.11 aired with green bumpers on St. Patrick's Day. And of course, there was also the Food Wars marathon on Thanksgiving weekend last year. But a full recharacterization of one of the hosts would be going quite a bit further than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountFrylock Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 i do hope they don't have a thanksgiving marathon....would be lame to go on break after just 3 episodes of SAO And fire force S2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Yeah, I seriously doubt we will get a Thanksgiving marathon this year, and I also feel it's likely there won't be one on December 19th. Give AOT a little more time, I say. Run a marathon of some other show on December 26th (I really don't care what), but then marathon AOT Season 3, Part 2 from 12 AM-5 AM on January 2nd (or 11 AM-4 AM if Toonami re-expands), and then begin it on January 9th. That way the dub will be far enough behind that it should be doable to produce one a week but still break as need be and not fall too far behind. We might get a random movie event early next year, and that would be OK. Of course AOT is in a different situation from Black Clover. Since those episodes air on Toonami first, they would just be "in the can" once produced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountFrylock Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I'm wondering why this marathon wasn't mentioned during the block....the only hint there was gonna be a marathon happened to be the assassination classroom next episode promo where it stated "Assassination Classroom will return in 2 weeks" but then the block never explains what's happening next week....so unless you keep up to date with the schedule changes on social media you'd have no idea what's going on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
