OwlChemist81 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) It wouldn't be a dub premiere if it did, but that's fine. Still, which time slot would it occupy? 12:30 is taken over by Shenmue starting February 5th so if it did show up there, it wouldn't be for long. But at least it didn't end up in Netflix hell like JoJo, so at least there's a possibility of it showing up on Toonami at some point if not sooner!

Jman Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Good question. DeMarco seemed rather pessimistic at their chances of airing it, and FUNi knows the property is red hot. Toonami may not be the best place for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpressAngel Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Doesn't Black Lotus have like, three episodes left? Tossing Demon Slayer at the front of the block seems like an obvious choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Demon Slayer will finally return when Titan ends and be the headliner in late Spring. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatch Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Something to chew on. I didn't know the backdoor schedule still existed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpressAngel Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 "Departure" is literally just the title of the third episode of Made in Abyss. It looks like somebody just made a typo when filling out the schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sketch Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 So it would seem we aren’t getting a new addition on 1/29 so we can’t take that promise of a new show every week for a month or so verbatim. Granted, that schedule could change by next Thursday if they suddenly land a show. However, that would force an expansion if they intended to rerun Black Lotus. As it stands, Shenmue would drop a One Piece on February 5th and Black Lotus reruns would drop a Naruto on Feb 12th. Black Lotus makes way for Titan. So probably no new show on 1/29 much less Demon Slayer but on the plus side, we get two weeks of double One Piece. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that, One Piece is rated Y7FV, which also applies to this week's episodes... at least until they're fixed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasqueradeOverture Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 They should just play Police Story whenever there's a gulf in the schedule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 I was hoping they'd drop a Shippuden and air Cowboy Bebop Jupiter Jazz 1-2 in one night, but I guess not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titan is a shoo-in for getting midnight back and don't know when but I fully expect Demon Slayer season 2 to still be coming to Toonami later.

I was hoping Shippuden and One Piece would run double episodes on a regular basis. The faster we can rip the Shippuden bandaid off the better! And well, I hear One Piece's pacing gets worse later on. And regardless, there's over a 1000 episodes now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Piece really seems like a show they picked up because options were limited and it would indefinitely hold down a time slot they wouldn't need to worry about rotating shows in and out for hence why doubled up one piece seems to be a permanent fixture on the block moving forward but the main reason one piece returned is because Toei still sees value in american cable tv and thinks it greatly benefits something like one piece where as sony is busy telling toonami to piss off and get content somewhere else because catering to a block on cable tv does them no good when they can just keep all the new content exclusive to streaming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlChemist81 Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 Maybe if we're lucky we'll see this season on Toonami in like May. Midnight replacement for AOT finale (which hasn't been announced either, btw, but it's probably safe to assume we're getting it to replace Blade Runner since Shenmue debuts at 12:30) seems like best bet to me, but if not, maybe sometime in 2023.

Sony sees demon slayer as this top tier premium series and if toonami wants it they'll need to pay out the ass for it that's money they just do not have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokeNirvash Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I'm a firm believer in "never say never". I'm not saying it'll definitely happen eventually; just that anything is possible and I wouldn't jump to the most negative of conclusions knowing how things have gone in the past.

Blatch Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Interesting that DeMarco singled out the packaging being affected by budget crunches. It feels like this has been the case for a while; seemingly every show gets new bumps when it premieres/airs a new season, and never again. I was really frustrated when AssClass S1 never got a refresh, even when other shows did. Then it happened again with Gridman, and seemingly every other show since. 😟 On the other hand, I'm negative at all about the fact that they'll have to air older stuff. Made in Abyss shows that the block can still pull out a winner every so often. If there was ever going to be a "prove it" moment for DeMarco and company to try and bring the balance of the block back to where it was in 2014-16 (and thus make it more palatable to fans like me), it's right now.
