Adult Swim is funding two new 6 episode seasons of FLCL. Set for summer 2018. There will be a sneak peek panel April 6 2018 at C2E2.
Even though Outlaw Star ends this Saturday, we still have no idea what's replacing it. It seems Adult Swim has something planned for Toonami on April Fools that will throw the schedule off.
Last week the night started unusually strong and then fell off. This week, the DB hour is weaker, but the rest of the night is up a little.
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
So what the fuck is Demarco doing? >no show announced >Toonami slot 2 weeks from now shows a 4 hour long episode of Family Guy >weekly Super promo not aired for the first time and Demarco won't comment on it Even if they are planning a prank for April Fools, people are gonna flip out on Saturday when a show ends with no announcement on what replaces it

Reminder that One Piece is the best selling comic book of all time, WORLDWIDE!
>Jojo has been getting shitstomped by Black Clover for 3 straight months >1 week it actually holds the audience >WEW LADS JOJO IS DOMINATING BC Jojobronies delusions never cease
Daniel Sanchez
you seem butthurt
Asher Perry
Considering it's this or suffering through Kai for another 4 years, I don't really see why anyone would be upset >muh long runner Yea, to replace another long runner. Demarco is too cheap to drop his reliance on them, so there's no sense acting like he would

One Piece Fag, how do you feel about the luffy vs katakuri fight.
It's obvious what's going to happen. >This Saturday: Final episode of Outlaw Star, third-to-last episode of Cowboy Bebop >Next Saturday: Cowboy Bebop gets an hour and airs its final two episodes, maybe an announcement for a new show >The following Saturday: April Fools >The Saturday after that: Two slots open at the same time
Leo Hill
You fags promised me Re:Zero to replace Outlaw Star. I finally had a little hope for the block. But it was all lies
Blake Johnson
>best bro defeated
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HIS BOUNTY IS OVER A BILLION IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE GODDAMNIT
>pulling the block for April Fools >just know it will be for something fucking stupid like a Kai coin hunt marathon instead of something worthwhile like an all night marathon of Pop Team Epic Yea I'm so excited
Re:Zero has 1 good girl. Everyone else is shit tier.
Luis Cooper
STOP TALKING ABOUT AN ANIME NOT AIRING ON TOONAMI REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Grayson Powell
It's very possible it's the next show you fucking autism

In a better world, we'd have HxH switched with IBO, but IBO is almost over, so it makes no difference. What is interesting is that by the end of April, we'll be rid of three shows. Assuming that we won't have a premiere in the late slots, the new question becomes: What will replace IBO?
Assuming Funi gets their ass in gear with the Tokyo Ghoul simuldub, almost certainly that.
Also don't be too quick to write off a new show replacing either OS or Bebop. They can just move Naruto back down to accommodate, and we are still short a premiere from earlier in the year. Also, they wouldn't be doing all this sneaking around that they are just to reveal reruns at the last second. If reruns were replacing OS, we would have known long ago
Jeremiah Morales
Demarco has literally said multiple times now that they will NEVER bother with OP again
I was bored, so I decided to check Toonami's subreddit to see if there's been any news we've missed and I saw this. Re:Zero is most definitely the next show.
One Piece is one of his favorite shows. If he is willing to say it's done for good, then he means it
Alexander Gray
>recent VA for big HxH character does an AMA >also notes other new or popular roles she is involved with >SHOW CONFIRMED GUYS By your logic we are also getting Madoka and Hyperdimension Neptunia
Andrew Sullivan
When are we getting Pop Team Epic?
Jayden Cook
he said the same thing about movies and we had a new one like a week later
Landon Allen
Last weeks Bebop reminded me time and again at the change of tone for the series when Big Shot gets cancelled live.
We know Faye is about to go home We know Ed and Ein are about to leave We know Jet is going to be all alone.
Henry Miller
>If reruns were replacing OS, we would have known long ago
Would we, though? I wonder if the lack of announcement is because the legal issues haven't been worked out with the new show yet?
It would be interesting if Funi gives us that Tokyo Ghoul simuldub, but they have their own service, so I guess it falls to incentive.

April Fools
Isaac Gomez
Funimation is stingy as fuck, but they do seem to stay true to shows that aired on Toonami already. They gave us AoT S2, so I really doubt they would hold out on Ghoul which is less popular.
As for reruns, yes I'm certain. Since reruns are ready to roll out at any time, there's no sense sitting on them. By sitting on the announcement, Demarco is building hype and he knows it. It's gonna be a disaster for him to announce 2 more reruns if that's what happens. There's lots of weird stuff going on right now, likely tied to their prank for this year
Joseph Young
When is Trigun and Rurouni Kenshin?
Jeremiah Rodriguez
>Rurouni Kenshin Never
Tyler Thomas
Not even if Watsuki pays the fine?
Jeremiah Jackson
>Trigun No remaster >Kenshin Blacklisted everywhere because of the author scandal
We only have this discussion every week
Blake Jackson
>pays the fine and everything goes back to normal My fucking sides. You don't know how this works do you?
> when a Tokyo ghoul rpg is #3 trending on Google play S3 on toonami confirmed
Ian White
After a few years go by, he probably will be forgiven in Japan, since it was something that only recently became illegal. Here though he is done. Demarco even said he won't support him further, which I assume also means not airing his show on Toonami
Jordan Cruz
When that news gonna drop? Tired of waiting
David Roberts
99.9% chance it will be announced this week sometime because we wont get toonami this april fools.
or however else that math works with 2 weeks and stuff
Lincoln Lewis
Well if there's nothing on April Fools, it wouldn't be till the following week that it starts. So they actually could announce nothing this week too. Though that's gonna be tough since the final episode of something is airing, people are gonna want answers for what happens the next week. The theory of double Bebop for one night makes sense
>Sony dub instead of the superior Media Blasters version No thanks
Cameron Sanchez
In all fairness the author of Toriko was arrested for hiring a 16 year old to sleep with him causing his then popular series to be canceled in Jump. He kept a low profile for a but then made a comeback with Toriko
Dominic Butler
That was my point. It's not a traffic ticket you just pay and go on your way. It's going to take years before he can do anything further
Colton Sanchez
Thankfully this doesn't have a licensor, so they couldn't even if they wanted to
Ian Lopez
why you gotta crush my dreams
Zachary Ortiz
Thankfully? That would be funny as hell if they could air it. We're just guaranteed to get some cringey bullshit instead.
Oliver Butler
That IS cringy bullshit. >hehehe remember this show you all hated well haha here it is again! Who could have predicted this EPIC prank. Oh btw we did miguzi bumpers too! So original! If they are gonna knock the whole block off for the night at least do it for something modern like PTE
Xavier Jackson
I wasn't even asking for Miguzi bumpers. Just the show itself.
>hehehe remember this show you all hated well haha here it is again! Who could have predicted this EPIC prank.
That's basically the Rick and Morty prank though.
Luke Hill
Insider here. Take this has you may, but two DBZ movies and one special that were dubbed AB Group (also known as the "Big Green dub" by fans) are planned to be aired for April Fools Day for Toonami. There are still negotiations that are being finalized as far as I'm aware. The two movies are The Return of Cooler and Broly the Legendary Super Saiyan (this one we had aired before), and the one special I didn't get the details of -- It's either The History of Trunks or Bardock's special.
Don't think this is guaranteed. There is still a chance this may not fall through. The backup is audio mixes and added background sounds for the shows, which are also going to be used for AS's original programing.
Jayden Carter
Why does that matter dingus
Julian Myers
I know you didn't. But miguzi bumpers are right on par with airing an old poorly received show for predictability. The Reddit and Meme prank was an AS prank that bled into Toonami. And let's be honest, AS has really dropped the ball with their pranks in recent years. They have a chance to turn it around with Toonami this year
Nolan Sanchez
>added background sounds You were doing good till then. They can't fuck with dub premiere shows
Eli Thompson
Couldn’t they just re-air Z and Super?
Aiden Green
Of course they could. Nobody fucking wants that though because reruns are ratings cancer
Dylan Rodriguez
Yup the more I think about it the more it makes sense we are going to lose april 1st to [as] bullshit
Eli Lopez
Technically speaking, this is supposed to be our year. So there's at least a little hope we actually get a prank related to Toonami. I have to wonder though, the DB hour and Black Clover are gonna air on March 31st, will they air just those, or is April Fools gonna start early this year?
Chase Brown
>April fools >can do literally anything >the one day ever to do something truly wild >hurf durf let's air more Dragonshit I sure hope you are just a larping retard
Grayson Williams
Next week we get FLCL2 promo Then FLCLs1 reruns announced But then april fools Its every single Peggy episode from KOTH all night long And turns out we just lose the half hour the week after
Nathan Peterson
Before speculation you could have read the first line of the OP to realize your idea doesn't even work
