Toonami

So Jojo's dubbing is delayed, and Ballmastrz: 9009 will be taking its place for the foreseeable future.

Uh... okay?

[Daikun]

MHA's replacement will be...Dragon Ball Super reruns.

On the bright side, though, new show announcements are coming late July.

[Avaitor]

I'm not too surprised about DB repeats coming back. I was 50-50 on that or MHA. Dragon Ball is ultimately the bigger get, but MHA has also been doing pretty well as an anchor.

I'm hoping that we see something new after Paranoia Agent, though. Mob season 2 is still my biggest hope. If we don't get that by the end of the year, we might never.

Golden Wind replaces Paranoia Agent, returning on August 1st at 12:30am. There's only 9 weeks left in it so this should hold the spot until October at the latest.

Okay, now this is good news. It's nice to get Jojo back on the schedule, and earlier on the lineup, too!

The new show looks interesting, too. I hope it turns out alright. I didn't see the Rick and Morty show, but I've heard good things, so I'll have to check it out.

[LumRanmaYasha]

It seems they have 11 episodes left, but yeah it'll probably last through mid-October depending on whether they do a marathon on Labor Day weekend (or others). More curious whether they'll be able to show Mob Psycho season 2 when the reruns end soon or if they have something else lined up they could replace it with.

Fena looks pretty dope too. 2021 should be a good year for Toonami with all the originals coming.

[Avaitor]

The last I heard about Mob season 2, there's still some red tape holding it back for Toonami, but hopefully they'll be able to work something out by the time they finish this cycle.

I sure hope they can make it happen. It's been long enough.

[Daikun]

Fire Force season 2 is coming in October. Meh.

[Avaitor]

Yeah, I have no real use for the show myself, but I'm happy to know that we're getting at least something new this year.

It's funny, when Fire Force and Food Wars first started on the block, if you told me which one I'd drop a few episodes in, and which one I'd be anticipating to return, I wouldn't have believed you. I almost dropped Food Wars after the first episode, but for as dumb as it is, the show at least has more fun with itself. Fire Force is dumb, demeaning, and takes itself way too seriously.

[Avaitor]

Okay, movies are back. Batman ones, at that!

On August 15, the block will air Year One, and The Dark Knight Returns Part One, while on the 22nd, the second part will air after Gotham Knight.

[Daikun]

Nice to see some DC stuff on Toonami again!

It'll be especially great to see Gotham Knight again. I remember when CN aired that movie waaaaaaaaaay back in 2008.

[Daikun]

Assassination Classroom is joining Toonami on August 29!

[Avaitor]

That's a true surprise announcement, but a welcome one IMO.

[Daikun]

Toonami is getting a Shenmue anime.
