I'm actually surprised doubled up one piece is permanent....usually doubled up episodes are temporary and don't stick around on the block for long

is this the first time Doubled up episodes of a series have become a long term plan?

[Blatch]

So much for not having an [as]/CR original lead off the block. They've made a lot of little schedule changes like this, shuffling around shows by one slot, and I find it annoying. But I doubt they're affecting the ratings much. Other than that, yay AoT. Exactly what most of us expected.

Also, guess they have to redo the "shanty" promo for OP. Surprised Al didn't mention that.

AOT is the biggest show they have access to, it leads off.  And thus the series is over.

God, I remember when it was starting and it was actually creating enough hype that there were rumors the show was actually going to air on FX next to Archer.  My, how time flies.

This one may be an exception. It DID hit #1 on the Hard Rock Airplay charts. We ought to get it in full at least once either way.

[PokeNirvash]

Suck it, Black Lotus.

Outside of getting 12:30 as opposed to midnight, no surprises here.

You do know that 9 times out of 10, the OP plays uncut for its first night, right? Don't go acting like it's gonna be cut for the entirety.

sounds like a stupid rumor....would have been easier to believe if FX had a history of airing anime in the past

no matter how hype a show was...you weren't gonna see a network that never really dabbled in Japanese Animation acquiring one to air next to a bunch of comedies

The show had a TON of hype and this was before streaming took over the world.  That and Archer was a hit but the shows after it kept tanking, so it made a weird sort of sense.  Of course it never came to be and here we are.

makes about as much sense as the idea of MHA airing on nickelodeon...

I used to be an advocate for Fairy Tail and MHA on Nick.

My have I become less autistic, but naturally the spectrometer depletes once someone encounters the written works of Thomas Ligotti.

Nice, faster than I expected. Wasn't sure they'd be able to fast track it given the large cast.
