ben0119 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 really do they want to get the lowest views possible also yeah source No, because they aren't running a marathon. And during Thanksgiving weekend you stay at a house and pretend to enjoy your family's company while you watch TV all day. No need for a marathon for this holiday!

Sketch Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Folks had better watch if they want the regular lineup to air on Thanksgiving weekend next year. Last year the Parasyte marathon did as well as a regular lineup. Halloween on the other hand tanked last year and it did this year as well so I guess they felt Thanksgiving weekend would do fine. On the other hand this could be to finish Kai before January but it also causes IBO to finish on Dec 10th. So it will be interesting to see how the Dec 17th lineup looks.

brianycpht Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Maybe they can just do 2XHXH ! I really don't know what else they can do. Dosen't make much sense to start Buu or Battle Tendency JoJo right before the probable 2 week break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meilag32 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Damn, it's true. http://www.adultswim.com/videos/schedule/?sr=adult_swim&sr=adult%20swim%20schedule I'll be watching. I only think that [as] should go on marathon when the holiday actually falls on that weekend. Not near it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyaos Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Good. The last marathon was so lame that I didn't even tune in. I bet that the next marathon will be for Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, though. We'd have enough episodes of that for a marathon....even though I don't think it's necessary.

OwlChemist81 Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 Well, the thing about this is that now JoJo will get 9 episodes to air in 2016, finishing the Phantom Blood Arc, and DBZ Kai proper will also end on the 17th. I now believe the New Year's Eve-il Marathon will be a JoJo Marathon of the first 9 episodes extended to 4:30 AM. So now Gundam IBO S1 ends December 10th, so now what on the 17th? I had originally thought Children Who Chase Lost Voices might get a midnight rerun on Christmas Eve, but I now believe its fate may actually be 1 AM on December 17th, as Hunter x Hunter, Shippuden, One Piece, and One-Punch Man all take a 3-week break. I'm calling either DBZ Kai or Hunter x Hunter marathon on Christmas Eve and JoJo Phantom Blood marathon on New Year's Eve-il! We have seen now that they have the capability to expand Toonami to 4:30 for a special event, and the Phantom Blood arc of JoJo would indeed fit the bill, but the question is: is this expansion to 4:30 AM permanent for 2017, and if so, what would a 9-show Toonami look like? Even with DBZ Kai and/or Gundam IBO getting more seasons, we've still got room for 2-3 new shows, and I believe one of them will be Mob Psycho 100!

Actually, with Thanksgiving not being a marathon weekend, DBZK will end on the 17th. Paving the way for a new show to start on either Jan. 3rd or 10th depending on if the 3rd is a marathon weekend.

Paving the way for a new show to start on either Jan. 3rd or 10th depending on if the 3rd is a marathon weekend. Right. I said both DBZ Kai and JoJo Phantom Blood will end on the 17th. But Gundam IBO will end on the 10th, and there's no way they'll start a new show on the 17th, or even Gundam IBO S2, so I'm calling CWCLV to get an encore that night at 1 AM.

MasqueradeOverture Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 They 'gon play Battle Of Gods 12/17, Resurrection F & Endless Waltz double feature the 24th, a JoJo marathon the 31st, and then start Dragon Ball Super about 26 episodes in on January 7th.

I don't see Double JoJo because it would start the Battle Tendencies arc with a 3 week gap before the next episode. Better to just conclude Phantom Blood in 2016 and start BT on 1/7/17. The most likely thing might actually be restoring Hunter × Hunter to 1 AM, Shippuden to 1:30, etc., and double Punchy to end the night, especially if Toonami gets 11:30 back on 1/7/17.

Jman Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Well it's that or Toonami airs Keijo. Disclaimer - Toonami will not air Keijo. Ever. Seriously, why the hell would they air Keijo? If you're still reading this and still entertaining the idea of Toonami airing Keijo, it's obvious you've never seen Keijo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I know Toonami won't air Keijo!!!!!!!! (You have to say it with all 8 !s.) Hell, they even had a bump saying that OPM was objectively better. [all praises to saitama] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 I know I've come out saying Toonami would do well to air more shows with strong female leads, but Keijo!!!!!!!! is the obvious exception. It may be rather Kill la Kill-ish in that it involves strong female leads and ridiculously over-the-top fanservice, but the similarities end there. I really don't believe ladies would take to Keijo!!!!!!!! like they did to Kill la Kill! Using the butt as a weapon is less hilarious when it's an actual requirement. (But ONLY just a little bit).

Jman Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Adult Swim made a card bashing Keijo!x8. They're not airing it. Looking at the fall releases, erm...what do they air? Yuri on Ice is the gay version of Keijo...and sucks. IBO probably isn't getting a season 2 on Toonami. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 There's always Drifters.

moose Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 If Toonami got to air Kill la Kill, they cold air Keijo!!!!. Content wise, it's about the same..maybe tamer since (so far) there really isn't any nudity or sex-related scenes. Just a bunch of bikini ass and boob-shots. The real deal closer would probably be that it's essentially a sports anime, and Demarco doesn't like to air those anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUU8800 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 The Keijo!!!!!!!! manga has tons of nipples. It even has a giant anthropomorphized nipple with arms and legs and a face at one point. I kid you not. Anime has censored them so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sketch Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 It's not that Jason doesn't want to play a sports anime it's that the network wont let him air another one. After IGPX and Prince of Tennis, I can't say I'm surprised but they really should have tried Fighting Spirit and Keijo!!!!!!!! honestly does fit and the fights are surprisingly technical despite how ridiculous they are.

moose Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 That much is true, but if they couldn't air Fujiko Mine, I doubt they air this. Fujiko is much worse since it contains actually nudity and sexual scenes. Keijo has ass and boob shots galore, but they're all in bikinis. I think that's a key diffrence. Not that I want it to air, since it's kinda too over-the-top for me, but content wise, Toonami could air it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 But they won't be airing it 11/26, that's for sure! I'm looking forward to seeing the same 6 premieres instead of having to wait another week for the dubbed continuation of those stories! Plus, maybe this weekend Gundam IBO will actually contain action? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainStarwind Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Well it's good to know Toonami is airing the regular lineup for Thanksgiving this year. Not that I mind the end of the year marathons too much, but it does seem really compact when there ends up being marathons September through the end of December.

OwlChemist81 Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 I guess you might say I'm thankful we get 6 premieres this weekend! For all November's mediocre ratings, it should be mentioned that Toonami will have held down a whopping 32 30-minute timeslots this month (16 hours), and 29 of those 32 timeslots were network premieres, with 21 of those being completely new to U.S. Cable TV! I am thankful, and hopeful more people will watch and send November off on a high note! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
