If Toonami CAN expand to 11 PM in 3Q 2023, [as] may try slotting it there (not to mention a full-season Unicorn: Warriors Eternal marathon on 7/1 from 11-4). That way, we can get a new show at 12 AM that week and perhaps another one at 11:30 the following week (like FLCL Shoegaze, maybe?) while Dr. Stone stays at 12:30. But if that isn't the case, Dr. Stone HAS to move down to 1, but for how long? Will we get a one-hour finale of UWE on 6/22 too? If so, that would actually begin Dr. Stone's move down and maybe even knock MHA off the schedule. Hopefully Toonami DOES get to expand in July and we get a 4-or even 5-hour block! Provided I can still stay awake for the whole thing anymore (I'm struggling with Naruto and MHA these days), I'd love to see this: 7/1 - UWE Full show 11 PM-4 AM (or maybe even 11-4:30 if they start with Episode 10) 7/8 - 11 PM Supes x2, 12 AM New Show, 12:30 Dr. Stone, 1 AM One Piece, 1:30 Shippuden, 2 AM MHA, 2:30 UWE, 3 AM Primal S1 x2 7/15 and after - 11 PM Supes, 11:30 & 12 AM New Shows, 1 AM One Piece, 1:30 Shippuden, 2 AM MHA, 2:30 UWE, 3 AM Primal S1 x2 Meanwhile, 7/7 on Fridays, I would love to see them ditch KOTH completely and try Supes and Venture Brothers back-to-back from 7-9 PM? Maybe even keeping the theme going by adding MHA S6 reruns at 6 PM in September? Are you sure that the Unicorn marathon on 7/1 is starting at 11? If it is, then I'm VERY good at making fantasy schedules and could see this happen: 11:00: My Adventures with Superman; 11:30: new anime; 12:00: Dr. Stone; 12:30: One Piece; 1:00: Naruto Shippuden; 1:30: My Hero Academia; 2:00: Food Wars; 2:30: Unicorn: Warriors Eternal Or just keeping it 12-3 apply everything except Food Wars.

OwlChemist81 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 It's not. It's gonna be at Midnight. Toonami just isn't doing well enough to reclaim 11 PM right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s important to not forget this is something heavily sanitized for CN run. The odds of it making an impact with that limitation were always pretty low. What I expect from this is a bit of fanartist engagement for tomboy Lois during its run, then it will just fade away into obscurity. Of course, if Toonami doesn’t beat it’s reruns to death.

When the reviews actively compare the show to the dumpster fire that was the She-Ra reboot, and the rest of the world just waits to see who will be the new Superman in the big reboot, this thing is a sign of a desperate block. Invincible this is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icarus27k Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Lol. Funny you should say that but I have pretty strong anti-Invincible opinions going back years. It's totally not my thing. So I would consider it a compliment to be called "totally not Invincible". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s probably where the comparison comes from Given Toonami’s demographics, this is essentially guaranteeing a flop. I know it wasn’t Toonami’s choice, this is DeMarco doing a solid for the corporate overlords, but yeesh.
