Anything of note? Or just the usual fluff nonsense? Elon, in all his great wisdom, decided you can’t read twitter unless you log into twitter

There’s a lot but here’s a few.                    1.uzumaki will come out when it’s ready and production is going great.                  
 

2.he has no desire in toonami airing earlier or more often he believes the current time slot is perfect.  

                      3.no plans to change the toonami packaging graphics.  

                                  4.slim chance of gundam witch from mercury being on toonami but he says maybe someday things will be different

  5.he already knows what’s gonna replace naruto  

                                                         6.  Things between crunchyroll and toonami seem to change every six months.  

                                                        7.if he Could pick one western franchise to make an anime for toonami he thinks mad max would be the best choice

Thanks, you are the real MVP. 
 

Funny answer for Uzumaki since I’m pretty sure he has made that exact same claim on it about 4 times now. If production was going great, it would have dropped years ago. 
 

No surprise about the timeslot, small surprise about the packaging since we have had this for over 2 years now. But, he did say when we got it that it probably wouldn’t change, so it is what it is. 
 

Not the kind of comment we wanna hear about CR while we are waiting for MHA. Not gonna be good if we can’t even get that. And if sequels are off the table, it goes without saying Witch or any other CR show is out. 
 

Good that they have an idea of what’s replacing Naruto. Bad if the answer is Boruto.

Let’s stop pretending that time slot is anything but  irrelevant after naruto concludes.  Nobody’s gonna stay up that late for whatever it is

Naruto will be at 1:30 now. Are we’d going to write THAT off now as too late?

Did you miss the schedule update? They quietly slid Kai up to Naruto’s long time spot, and Naruto up to 1:30. That’s slot 4 of the block, it’s plenty relevant.

Even so I’m not expecting something amazing      4 shows in and I have my doubts most folks aren’t in bed by that time.

It will probably be 3 shows in since I’d assume One Piece will bump down to 1:30 and whatever they get to replace Naruto will take 1

Figures that we have two Uzumaki-led shows that are long in the tooth in Toonami's current record books. I stand by that if it's not out this year, I'm assuming it's been written off Batgirl-style.

Toonami remaining a three-hour block with the same graphics just makes me hope they get better shows in the future. It's a start with Ninja Kamui, though.

The idea of Gundam: Witch from Mercury still being on the table is just copium at this point. And even if it was on the table, someone's pet cat would knock it off anyway.

For Demarco's sake, I hope the Naruto replacement is something long-running that we don't know about. But I'm of sound mind to assume we're just getting a second DBZ Kai episode.

Every six months? Looks like the only way to truly get a Crunchyroll project on Toonami is to go directly to the animation studio like with One Piece. The problem is not every anime studio has the notoriety of Toei Animation, if there's any that come close to begin with.

On a more positive note to end on, a Mad Max anime could actually be great.
