Maybe Kim Manning is responsible for the deal with Kodansha or Crunchyroll… it may have been a personal disagreement in negotiating styles between how Demarco and Gil operated. However they got Blue Lock and Tokyo Revengers, I remember being shocked because they hadn’t gotten any new CR series...

Ryogo Narita also behind recent anime Fate Strange Fake. I assume that will never see air on Toonami either. I did feel like Durarara was a resurgence for ASA but the lack of Toonami branding was making Saturday nights boring during the first Obama admin. Not much of anything besides FMA...

Tokyo Revengers is kind of like Durarara, which I had thought of as the last Manning era show before Toonami returned. Behind the scenes it’s probably not quite as clear cut as we assumed, but of course we have had radio silence from Toonami on social media for years other than the FB. Kim...

You’re probably right. I remember watching jetsons on MeTV before MeTV Toons existed. On Sunday mornings, it seemed to be treated as standard MeTV programming. But then it aired only the 1960s episodes. Does MeTV Toons also air the 1980s episodes like Boomerang does? Maybe that is causes the...

PPGZ isn’t widely known in the US. Unless this is some weird Enter the Powerpuffverse multiverse crossover where the PPG meet the 2010s cn, CW pilot, tv special, etc variants, I don’t think we will see them.

Would a show like the Flintstones that was originally aimed at adults but skewed younger be interpreted by the FCC as a kids or general audience program? I will be curious to see how the FCC respond to Weigel.

Thanks for clarifying. The FCC posted this to their website without commenting on it is approved?

Excellent find powergate. I think this settles the question of whether FCC considers it a kids channel or a nostalgic adults channel. It’s good to see the government acknowledge the existence of adult cartoon fans and not subject MeTV Toons to the dictates of the Children’s Television Act. What...

Sundays have been too inconsistent lately. They were airing Chowder, then it skipped a couple weeks, returned for a couple weeks, now it’s gone again. I ended up watching the later episodes streaming. CN shows just don’t work too well for Boomerang. But can’t we get Sylvester and Tweety...

There was a Yogi Bear cartoon on for Christmas season on the CW last year. But we haven’t seen that much animation hit the CW since then. Was still interesting to see Yogi’s First Christmas on CW instead of Boomerang.

Disney XD often airs anime next to Big City Greens. I guess it’s not impossible Disney Channel will do the same. We still don’t have official confirmation. Then again Yu-Gi-Oh Go Rush wasn’t officially confirmed until schedules showed it and a promo was produced by Disney XD just a few days...

Is this connected to the Hell movie of Bleach?

You are probably right. Voltron may turn up on MeTV Toons or return to Boomerang.

This arc feels redundant with that arc Toonami skipped between Skypeia and Foxy. Oh well, just one more week.

I wonder what all this means. I honestly doubt Disney Channel will air Pokemon. Unless Disney XD is going to merge into Disney Channel like their YouTube channels combined. I’m worried Disney Channel would treat Beyblade X and Yu-Gi-Oh Go Rush badly if they don’t outperform kid coms. Like how...

The thing is Common Side Effects had more of a buffer than Primal. Primal had a six day delay before airing on Toonami. That’s normal same week encores for different audiences, more like the two day delay My Adventures with Superman season 1 had. CSE started on Sundays and took a month before...

How strong is Tienshinhan’s power level? He got defeated fast by Android 17, but he was able to hold off Semi-Perfect Cell for quite a while when Goku felt he was too weak to fight Cell. He also dodged Buu’s human destruction beam, and was one of the last humans to die in the Buu saga. In Z...

Wow a new dub for Doraemon. Wonder if it will air on streaming or Disney XD again?

I would be curious to see how the weekday run of Go Rush is doing. They are sometimes airing Go Rush and two episodes of Beyblade X, like last Friday. If they just added Pokemon to the lineup, it could be a full two hour after school anime block, like Kids WB Toonami. The timing does seem...

Why can’t they show visuals in the background during the EDs? It’s so weird having a black screen. They did this during season one too. Every other anime, Toonami show the Japanese art of characters, even if the ED is edited for time.

Extra time: one minute break from guys screaming at each other over a badly moving cgi soccer ball to see their cute… secretary? Ok, I’ll accept it. She actually feels even more shoehorned in than the girl who wanted to marry Mashle, but at least she has a good looking design and is a rare...

@Markus Could you please share Checkered Past reruns from 5-6 PM for the last week? I don’t think I have seen its ratings but once or twice on this block a couple years ago.

They don’t have the rights to those episodes anymore. It hasn’t aired since the first time which was like ten years ago. I hope they rerun some day. But it seems to be that they can only afford to license certain episodes.

IGPX is back finally! But it’s starting from season 1. They better air the whole series this time! The first and still the greatest Toonami original. Also everything moves up a half hour. One Piece at 1:30 AM again. Guess it’s not on the chopping block and we get Whole Cake Island confirmation...

I never saw it. Honestly I would’ve been more inclined if they used a Vancouver cast.

In the dub, when I first saw the movie before season 4, I assumed Jaden is a ghost like Yubel and Banner. That he somehow became an incarnated duelist ghost, like Shadi. I was more confused about why he was in Venice.

One example is Rooster Fighter airs at 4:30 AM next to DBZ Kai on Friday night/Saturday mornings.

Do we have a confirmation on this from Disney? Or is it premature for me to do an article?

The Zexal dub also premiered later episodes on Hulu due to the end of Vortexx. I don’t think Nicktoons ever finished Zexal or original Yu-Gi-Oh, as well as Arc V. It’s too bad, Sevens and Duel Monsters are the only shows to receive a near-complete original TV airing. (Near complete because Kids...

It’s also a drop of less than 10,000 from Tokyo Revengers. It’s hard far larger drops than that before. Late night ratings stability is generally pretty solid with this lineup. And we don’t need a 50% rerun 50% premiere balance if they replaced One Piece with Rooster Fighter.

For some reason, Naruto is still available on DirecTV adult swim on demand. But only episodes 3-8 and 11. Sailor Moon has 1,2,41,42, and 45. Edit: As for 6/27, theoretically the blanks could just mean they plan to premiere a show and want to announce it on their Friday schedule update graphic...

Rooster Fighter at 3:30 outperformed One Piece by 1000 just one week before these latest ratings. It’s concerningly low ratings for an arc finale, although this is a minor arc without a big climactic battle at the end.

Arc V dub I watched all the way… some of the voice acting is super campy. That is what makes it a fun dub though. The worst that happened to it was skipping the middle third in Nicktoons, but at least it was dubbed and aired in Australia or Canada. Does anyone know if there was major censorship...

Rooster Fighter is at 7.1 on IMDb. Close to the 7.05 on MAL. Only 755 rankings there.

A hit by Max standards may be still lower than a flop by Hulu standards. Max is on the way out now, merging with Paramount+. Plus, those other shows on Max were more serious. Almost all of the comedic cartoons on Max are gone now. Even though this show was often TV-MA, I don’t think it really...

Zexal is not that bad. People just hated on it because it had a slow start. At first it seems childish and derivative of the original. By the time we get to arcs like World Duel Carnival and Barian, it’s much different. The numbers club don’t prove all that important any more than Tea and Duke...

Because they were promoting the return of new episodes. But this is the first time it got a marathon in a good timeslot. The marathons before the show returns from previous hiatuses were in the super early 3-7 AM Saturday morning slots. Disney XD is treating the show better. The weekday reruns...

So things are still looking decent for dbz Kai even with another Saiyan saga rerun… yeah, I think they’re keeping this at 5 am for a while. It seems to be an evergreen anime like InuYasha used to be for AS.

Quite the consistent back half. Too bad One Piece didn’t do better than a 3:30 AM encore though… 41,000 for a premiere is a little sad. But the episode WAS MOSTLY flashbacks to arcs from 20+ years ago.

Toonami can’t even air HBO Max’s suicide squad isekai, let alone Disney shows like X-Men 97.
