OwlChemist81 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) With Shenmue and AOT having their season/mid-season finales respectively on April 30th, Toonami needs new blood to join Lupin the 3rd Part 6, and QUICK! So what will the Midnight Hour on May 7th be, and when will we know? Vote in the poll, and comment below!

Ginguy Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Honestly I'd guess with May 9th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katt_goddess Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I'm guessing a movie to allow for an extra week to shore any loose ends up. It's what I'd do if I could get a good movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokeNirvash Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Or hope Demarco gets Dawn of the Deep Soul for a good price without S&P shutting him down. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's 3 of them after all so the first one might be well within use now and would work if MHA is still in the background of the block somewhere in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting Toonami with that movie would definitely be bold. It would fill 2.5 hours by itself so that would be the best use for it. I had not considered them doing that to fill May 7th holes but I suppose they could do that. I’m really thinking 12am should potentially go to Assassination Classroom if they don’t have anything on deck that’s more notable than Food Wars and YashaHime. If they’re digging up more Sentai titles then I’d love to see Ushio & Tora. If Sentai has the broadcast rights to Vinland Saga (rather than Amazon) then that would be awesome for Toonami. But at this point one of my biggest hopes is the Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor dub that’s been in the works at Sentai Studios will air on Toonami. Some more potential Sentai titles: Land of the Lustrous, Grimoire of Zero, Girls Last Tour, Revue Starlight, FLIP FLAPPERS, Princess Principal and Chaika: Coffin Princess. Yes all female lead shows, go figure. Actually, if Sentai is dubbing The Executioner and Her Way of Life or I’m Giving Up Heroing (two different shows not one long light novel title) then either would be great dub premieres for Toonami. And if Sony is willing to play ball there’s Megalobox 2: Nomad, Dynazenon and dare I suggest Mob Psycho 100 or Jujutsu Kaisen (both are maybe only slightly more likely than Demon Slayer returning). Akudama Drive would be great for the block. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I was thinking more of a 1AM start time for the MiA movie, but hey, as long as they air it, I'm content. If not, I'll just do the usual thing where I watch it super close to the wire before season 2 starts. Kaiji on Toonami would be awesome, especially if they followed up both seasons with Tonegawa. All those shows are great. The title's technically "I'm Quitting Heroing", but considering how the first three episodes haven't had anything that would trigger Turner/Warner Discovery S&P's banhammer much to my surprise (seriously, I was expecting at least one shot of bare boobs based on the character designs alone), I wouldn't mind seeing it on Toonami. Would definitely put my content rating clips in jeopardy though. At this point, Mob 2 and its fellow sequels are desperate pipe dreams. Akudama Drive would be crazy though and I whole-heartedly welcome it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatch Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Given that they had no trouble announcing the last two acquisitions, I think they'll add at least one new show on the 7th. They could still stall, though. We haven't any any DC animated movies in a decent amount of time, so I wouldn't mind another one of those. But I probably wouldn't watch it, if only because I never got around to any of my DVR recordings from late last year. As for Sketch's post: boy, what I would give to have at least half of those shows on Toonami. I don't think Girls' Last Tour would be possible without Jason recomitting to their pledge to show more non-action shows, though, as it's rather philosophical. Also, wait at least a few months so I can make my ratings images, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountFrylock Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I'm not too familiar with a lot of sentai's catalogue so i can't really make any guesses if that's where toonami has to go for content.... food wars S5 is an easy guess since the final season's dub has been on hbo max for awhile now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 If that's the only choices they have, they'll just air the second Harley Quinn season since they still won't cross the live-action barrier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demarco is the boss and the buck stops with him. It's his job and responsibility to get shows on the block. And notice how when anything goes wrong or goes bad, it's not Demarco's fault according to him, not his department or out of his hands etc, but if praise is being lavished on Toonami for whatever it is, he is happy to accept it. Maybe people don't want to work with Demarco because he publicly complained about Sony freezing them out of getting stuff. That was unprofessional and extremely foolish. You shouldn't air dirty laundry like that because it can jeopardize future business deals and not make others want to work with you, and certainly not the people you are actively complaining about. Maybe people simply don't like Demarco and don't like how he behaves or carries himself. There may be other, business reasons like competitors offering more money, streaming services not wanting to share, or licensors thinking Toonami is irrelevant and not worth doing business with, but the way Demarco acts certainly isn't helping. Well, he recently made a somewhat "calming" tweet lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sketch Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Yeah... calling out Sony was not a good idea. Not doing so might not have improved the situation but doing so assuredly didn't help. DeMarco has never called the big shots at Adult Swim and now he's probably even less involved with the decisions pertaining Toonami outside of original productions but he does come off as a guy who will pass the blame when things go south and accept any praise lofted at Toonami. And he often rides a fine line between not trashing the management and not taking responsibility for mistakes until they are water under the bridge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took some subtle jabs at Netflix Bebop in the marathon promo back in January. At least that’s how the dialogue read to some. But they didn’t go full Jake Long on it.
