FLCL season 2 is set to premiere June 2nd at 11:30. Presumably, this is the replacement for GitS.
FLCL season 3 is set to premiere in September.
This Saturday, Bebop will air its two final episodes back to back. Dandy moves up to 2am, allegedly for good. It is very clear now that April Fools will have something other than the normal lineup air. There is a chance Dandy moving up is just for cover.
Last week was positive growth across the board after the DB hour. This week the growth stops and we start a slow trend downward. Oh well. Naruto slapped Gundam and HxH shit again.

>we will never get spinoff featuring autistic hacker girl and her dog wandering ruined earth. They were right to end it when they did but I can't help but wonder what could have been.
They're throwing a real shitfit over this in their threads. It's hilarious.
Nathaniel Richardson
>>Japanese/subbed is IN THEATERS ONLY Seriously? I know they're pretty much making this for us here on Toonami but they didn't have to fuck over the nips this hard.

>people claim that HxH subverts shonen tropes >does a million training arcs like any other shonen Why is HxH so shit, bros?
Luis Ward
HxH is better for that binge than it is watching it weekly
Joseph Ward
Probably gonna have to add a week on everything from Jojo down
John Nguyen
Obviously full of shit like usual. To him pushing boundaries is airing something that isn't a generic Jump title or something ASA aired before
on Fishcenter this week, Kim Manning said she watched Pop Team Epic and liked it
Charles Smith
FAIRY TAIL SOON
Aiden Martinez
Haha, now the japanese have to simulcast OUR subs. How do you like it!?
Kayden Lee
>people claim that HxH subverts shonen tropes It's Asspull x Asspull fags only that say that, and they're completely deluded.
Julian Turner
>implying anyone will watch this turd cashgrab outside of Toonami smoothbrains
Joseph Barnes
I'd like to remind everyone that this is the one-year anniversary of Demarco cancelling One Piece, but, even so, it's still the best selling comic book of all time, WORLDWIDE!
>call it FLCL Progressive >Not content with destroying their own IPs, like the cancer they are libshits expand to destroy those of other countries. Nice b8
I'd like an anime that's starting at the beginning. What's replacing Outlaw Star?
Mason Thomas
nothing
Nathaniel Bennett
Just a half hour of the test pattern?
Gavin Martinez
Hopes mildly raised for the FLCL continuations after finally getting some substantial footage. Hopefully they aren't Diebuster-tier disappointing sequels.
Jaxon Rivera
SMPTE Bars season 29 begins next week
Gabriel Thompson
the japanese don't care about FLCL to begin with
William Brooks
It really went downhill after season 18, let's be honest. The move to HD was a mistake.
In "probably not Toonami related but I'm bringing it up anyways" news the second season of Mob Psycho 100 was confirmed over the weekend at the event for the OVA. (The OVA is currently available subbed on crunchyroll.)
I know everyone's already seen it but Mob Psycho is a show I wouldn't mind. It's short, great action and incredibly likeable characters. Perfect bridge between now and FLCL.
Joseph Foster
Demarco already confirmed it's not an option because someone else picked it up
Luis Wright
yeah, I'd be happy with it as long as it airs at least before naruto
The only place I've seen with it is Funimation's website, and that's not a problem since Tokyo Ghoul aired. (The live action version is a Netflix exclusive, but that's Japan only.) Do you got a source?
Carson Gutierrez
diebuster is at worst exactly as good as gunbuster, just different
FLCL is going to fail, isn't it? It's already agreed that it's the only reason Toonami is still alive right now. After it flops: POW! We're gone!
Bentley Anderson
Would get cooly cooly with.
Noah Martinez
I feel like Toonami's margin for success isn't all that high. Even if it's moderately successful it'll probably be enough of a win to keep Toonami afloat.
Matthew Diaz
Good, I haven't been able to post on my home IP since 2015
The original FLCL was just a nothing OVA project for the studio to experiment and play around with. The show is only popular with the Cartoon Network audience, so it makes sense that they would make it an official [as]/Toonami show and produce more of it. Progressive and Alternative might surprise us and end up being better than the original.
Ayden Jenkins
My prediction is that Progressive will just be a soft reboot with the same plot and new characters, pure nostalgia bait, but Alternative will be space kino.
Black Clover's pretty new, Super's a premier dub, HxH is a premier dub, Lupiin was a premier dub. All of this stuff was only old by the context of not having been dubbed.
Cooper Edwards
I'm excited to see it bomb and Demarco to go full damage control
Luis Bailey
>4 leaf clover /ourgirl/
Kayden Anderson
Here's last week:
10:30 Dragon Ball Super 1026 0.55 11:00 Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters 902 0.45 11:30 Black Clover 708 0.33 12:00a Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders 671 0.31 12:30a Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans 595 0.27 1:00a Hunter X Hunter 549 0.24 1:30a Naruto: Shippuden 536 0.23 3:00a Outlaw Star 445 0.21 3:30a Space Dandy (r) 440 0.20 4:00a Cowboy Bebop (r) 436 0.20 4:30a Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG (r) 408 0.19
Interesting takes. At the same time, we might be nearly at the end of the road as well. This has been a fun six years overall.
In addition to this, when Netflix had the HxH sub, they never aired the whole Chimera Ant arc or the Chairman Election Arc, so in a year, we'll be in entirely new territory.
Adrian Hall
>BC Ok I'll give you that, though I'm sure it was an absolute bargain >Super Secured late 2016 >HxH Secured early 2016 >Lupin Secured mid 2017
I don't give a shit about yesterday, I'm talking about 2018 and it's fresh budget >Lupin Replaced by rerun >Outlaw Star Replaced by rerun >Bebop Replaced by rerun of same fucking show
We have got NOTHING in 2018. And the next opportunity to break that streak is in May. And as if that isn't bad enough, we have a lot of slot entitled shows coming up like Ghoul and AoT. So we aren't gonna get shit fresh this year most likely
John Myers
Alright I'm not gonna argue with your delusion. There is another Ask where he is more specific but I'm not gonna sift through his shit for it. When he says they fucking can't get something, it's not going to air.
Leo Robinson
She looks more faithful to the FLCL style than Hidomi.
>better plot >better character designs >better fights Hunter x Hunter can't even compete.
Nathan Thompson
he's said things won't air because they can't get it plenty of times and things have aired regardless
Carter Barnes
It's okay, user. None of us do either. It ended well the first time, wrap up the story while leaving the audience wanting more. That doesn't mean give us more, though. IDK what they were thinking giving a dying anime block all the way across the Pacific in burgerland the greenlight for 2 more seasons.
Yea, maybe fucking years down the line long after everyone stopped giving a shit
Evan Howard
>better plot It's literally Black clover but older so it isn't labeled generic >>better character designs If you're still this much in denial, just finish the CA arc >>better fights Yeah, the fights in the 2011 version aren't always the best but that doesn't mean they suck either.
Benjamin Anderson
Japan really doesn't give a shit about FLCL. It's just like with Big O, it was a total dud for Japan so no harm letting the Americans play with it since they liked it so much.
Just a shame AS seems to only have this fondness for the handful of shows they got when they just started anime. We may have been able to get some actual needed continuations of modern shows otherwise
Joshua Richardson
>better plot Literally the same as every other generic shonen. It has ZERO original ideas >better character designs Wowee let's take this horse ass and put it on a bird guy, I'm such a fucking good character designer. And let's have a talking penguin too! >better fights All shonen fights are basically the same. 1 out of about 10 ends up being good for any series
Every criticism you posted applies directly to HxH
Ryan James
well yeah, mob's rapidly approaching that point, it's nearly two years old and tokyo ghoul aired when it was between 2 and 3 years old
Caleb Sullivan
Not everyone can be the safety cone orange ninja, the edgelord Kurapika ripoff and the pink girl. Not even taking the physical aspects into consideration, the HxH characters are better characters overall.
Thomas Bailey
Ah yes, some of us have to be the tank top wearing hard worker who pushes through every problem with his hard headed retardation.
Aiden Ramirez
>Japan really doesn't give a shit about FLCL This isn't true at all, it was hugely influential within Japan And whenever America "produces" an anime they're just one of many producers in a large committee investing into the project
Daniel Foster
Anyone know what kind of guitar white hair is holding just based on looks? Looks like a Fender Jaguar?
Joshua Carter
And see where that got Gon. He was about to try that against Pitou when Killua, realizing Gon didn't stand a chance, knocked him out and ran. Certainly better than 'imma get Sauce back even if he's threatening to genocide our hometown and all muh friends'. Gon's not even 1/10th the obnoxious tryhard Nardo is. >inb4 Doing the same with Ging Ging isn't actually trying to get Gon killed. Ging sucks as a dad but everything Ging's antics have dragged Gon into was Gon's choice to choose. Ging gave Gon the option to stay in his comfy life on his island with his aunt, to not become a hunter, to not get a copy of greed's island and Kite even repeatedly gave Gon the chance to turn back even after they realized how bad the NGL would be.
Samuel Bennett
Something with strings and white paint. Certainly looks like some kind of instrument, a guitar of some kind.
