And Primal leads off, as it should.

Neat that they're announcing this somewhat ahead of time. Hopefully they follow suit with the next new show.

the description for this on the facebook post is weird...

they act like shenmue's been gone and say "have you missed ryo?" when it started airing in reruns right after it concluded

I have an odd theory about this one: what if the plan is to run 1-6 on FRIDAY from 12-3 AM and then finish the marathon with 7-13 during Toonami? That would be neat to see!

I'd love to see that.

They really want me to assume a Season 2 is coming.

Shenmue was the best of the Crunchyroll originals and it wasn’t even close (owning to how the rest ranged from mediocre to wretched), but the line is done.  The legal tangles to get the show proper already sound like a headache.

Marathons don't have to mean anything. In fact, in this case it might be better if they don't bother. Had they chosen to air the second half of the series, then people could DVR it and watch the episodes right away, leaving no point for the rest of the rerun.

i mean they could have had a one piece marathon(that series only ever had a single marathon and they were side-quest episodes)

Shippuden getting a marathon... well, scratch that, Shippuden getting any notable treatment on Toonami is a meme. The only promo it ever got was an [as] black-and-white bumper that basically doubled as one, since it announced the show's then-current timeslot. Heck, its bumps haven't even gotten new music since this year began, or so I've heard. Toonami could really do all the Naruto fans a solid, but it's not like they need one.
