Mr. Idea Box Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Well, well, well. I bet no one expected Toonami to last another year, did we? With the finales of Attack on Titan and Naruto Shippuden, the Toonami Rewind block on Friday afternoons, and the sudden return of Blue Exorcist, it's been a hectic year. Then again, every year has its ups and downs, especially in the anime industry. And I did say I would try to predict what Toonami could look like next year. But you know what? Screw the wait, I'm starting my predictions early.

Toonamiguy321 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Smarter money would have been waiting another month to see if anything with Daima or MHA materializes in November. Clarify what exactly “half rerun” means. I’m seeing that on One Piece which doesn’t make a whole lot of sense since these are premier episodes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I can see that. But I think it would be easier if Daima and MHA were headliners at the beginning of the year, rather than headlining the month of Christmas. 6 hours ago, Toonamiguy321 said: Clarify what exactly “half rerun” means. I’m seeing that on One Piece which doesn’t make a whole lot of sense since these are premier episodes. Yes, those episodes are technically premieres. But since those episodes are a decade old, I tend to think of them as half rerun, half premiere. Or, for those who used to watch Nick at Nite, an "instant rerun". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 The lack of any new info on Get Jiro! has me thinking that hits late 2025/early 2026 provided we're all still alive. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sketch Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 No Thanksgiving marathon keeps IFG on track to end by 2025. Rumor has it eps 9 and 10 will air on December 21st so I’m not surprised but confirmation there will be no week off in November is nice. We might only have one week with no new content on Toonami for the rest of 2024, December 28th. If they need to stall one more week they might take January 4th off but that seems rather unnecessary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 (edited) My predictions of various degrees of plausibility: Sailor Moon continues into Sailor Moon R (though that's more a "two weeks from now" prediction) Gundam Wing shows up on Rewind at some point MHA 7, Mashle 2, Dr. Stone: Science Future inevitably show up Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga is announced at the last possible moment so the claims that anything beyond season 1 was an uncertainty seem more legit Lazarus in mid-winter a la Ninja Kamui and gets a lot of forced hate from people who claim it isn't forced actually (TM) Another outta-nowhere Aniplex pickup shows itself - maybe SK8 finally, as a show of solidarity for David Wald in the face of Crunchyroll stealing his mail being the straw that broke the camel's back and forced him to cut ties with them? Demarco has a meltdown on Bluesky Edited November 13 by PokeNirvash 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is sad. 6 hours ago, PokeNirvash said: Lazarus in mid-winter a la Ninja Kamui and gets a lot of forced hate from people who claim it isn't forced actually (TM) I really hope Lazarus isn't a February show. Do they want the creator of Cowboy Bebop to have something as rushed as Uzumaki under his belt? 6 hours ago, PokeNirvash said: Another outta-nowhere Aniplex pickup shows itself - maybe SK8 finally, as a show of solidarity for David Wald in the face of Crunchyroll stealing his mail being the straw that broke the camel's back and forced him to cut ties with them? This depends. Would Toonami risk never getting Crunchyroll shows if it meant showing solidarity to their staff? Odds are unlikely if you ask me. 6 hours ago, PokeNirvash said: Demarco has a meltdown on Bluesky Yeah, that would happen next year, wouldn't it?

Toonamiguy321 Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 11 hours ago, PokeNirvash said: MHA 7, Mashle 2, Dr. Stone: Science Future inevitably show up The most recent season of Demon Slayer should be here too. It’s only 8 episodes so it won’t be hard to fit in. Also, if we can swing MHA, we should still be able to swing Fire Force too. 11 hours ago, PokeNirvash said: Another outta-nowhere Aniplex pickup shows itself - maybe SK8 finally, as a show of solidarity for David Wald in the face of Crunchyroll stealing his mail being the straw that broke the camel's back and forced him to cut ties with them? Demarco barely knows anything about current anime, I highly doubt he is up to date on current VA drama. 4 hours ago, Mr. Idea Box said: This depends. Would Toonami risk never getting Crunchyroll shows if it meant showing solidarity to their staff? Odds are unlikely if you ask me. But on that topic, Crunchyroll doesn’t give us shit anyway so what’s the worry? 11 hours ago, PokeNirvash said: Demarco has a meltdown on Bluesky Come on, that’s not a fair prediction to make. That’s like saying the sun will rise tomorrow. 4 hours ago, Mr. Idea Box said: really hope Lazarus isn't a February show. Do they want the creator of Cowboy Bebop to have something as rushed as Uzumaki under his belt? According to the most recent panel, the show is basically already done. Finish up the voice work, cross some T’s and it should be ready to roll so February sounds right. That will carry it to mid May just like Kamui did this year. Uzumaki should be a lesson that more time does not result in a better end product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of it as implied solidarity. For some it's a show of support for Wald, for others it's homoerotic skateboarding boys on broadcast television. Besides, it's not like I'm anticipating Toonami to go for a solidarity pickup. Otherwise, they'd have aired Haruhi and/or Beyond the Boundary in response to the KyoAni arson attack already.

Toonamiguy321 Posted November 16 Share Posted November 16 So it ended up being kinda low key, but the Daima theater premier came and went without any type of news regarding the home for the rest of the dub. We need a schedule update by next Friday so we will see if they managed anything. We also may be getting a Rewind update unless SM is just gonna slide ride into S2. Perhaps my Daima premier on Rewind theory will come to fruition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sketch Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 Advanced schedules show a DBZ Kai marathon (the next 4 episodes not repeats of recently aired ones) airing on December 6th which doesn't bode well for Sailor Moon continuing into season 2 before early 2025. On the other hand it could serve as promotion for Daima but that seems a little too optimistic to think. A lack of news for Daima's dub streaming anywhere remains a good sign that Toonami can get it before streaming but it's far from a sure thing.

Of course, I was actually thinking Sailor Moon would be done for good after the 29th, but let's see how time tells this story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
