Well that would mean some weird schedule switch up is coming.
Hmm, checked next week & DBZ Kai is listed, strange that it wasn't corrected today. Also ooohhhh boy, I can't wait until next week. I won't say which show, but I'm excited.
Also WTF at that Adult Swim promo. & really, no promoting that DBZ is on later in the night?
LET'S CONFIRM WITH DEMARCO THAT ADULT SWIM IS TRYING TO STEAL DBZ FROM TOONAMI!!

No Toonami or Dragonball promo during the airing. THAT SURE BODES WELL!
CABALLEROS DEL ZODIACO!

it's possible that since this was such a sudden change that they didn't have time to do anything
Nah I'm pretty sure we're doomed.

What's more doomed Toonami or Nintendo?
Oh yeah I forgot DBZ was airing at 8pm. Anything special about the airing?
EDIT: I guess the above responses answer my question :/
So you're saying time skips are more apparent in animated/drawn media because to represent the passage of time you have to change your designs more than the passage of time would naturally age characters in live action media? I guess that makes sense? I dunno, I feel like HTown was talking more about longer time skips (like 1+ year per skip) than just a few weeks or months as that's just more a truncated passage of time. You wouldn't expect characters to change their look THAT much in the span of a few weeks (though it's not like we can't do serious makeovers in real life over short periods of time if we want to).

Toonami. Not even a serious question.
Even if you want to credit DBZ for a time skip (and a lot of manga that came after it did use it as well) instead of it being just an age old literary trope you might as well start with Fist of the North Star which had a gigantic time skip in between parts one and two.

I guess a better way to explain my point would be that anime/manga time skips are generally always a choice by the creator of the story, where as time skips in other forms of media are often a necessity due to needing to film/edit new footage with real actors who are aging during the down time between film sessions. Yes there are films like Boyhood/Bicentennial Man/Forest Gump that are character studies where we see multiple time skips in the film to show the life of a character but those are generally handled differently then the big manga/anime time skips we see in series like DB/Z, OP, or Naruto.
Okay I'll admit my history of anime/manga is not great and giving it credit to DB/Z was poor on my part.

Not a single Toonami promo during Kai?
That's reassuring.
That's reassuring.
Part of me wants to think this considering Dish didn't even update the time slot schedule to say that DBZ Kai was airing, still said "Shut Up, Sit Down". If they don't air one next week, however, then I might get a bit more suspicious.
.......that or we could ask DeMarco.

I can believe that, cutting the promo, getting the voice over work and getting all that OK'ed by not only the higher ups but by the censors takes a bit of time. Especially when you're working with a shoestring for a budget.

Considering AS themselves didn't seem 100% sure they were airing DBZ Kai at 8pm until like 2 days ago it really shouldn't be that much of a surprise they didn't have any kind of "did you like that? Now go check out more kick ass anime at midnight" thingy
Alright, I'll take his word. Again, seems like it was another sudden choice made so probably didn't have enough time. Probably jumped the gun with some of my earlier statements.
Last week, it is something that is kind of dangerous to talk about in the open.
I still haven't seen it. Microsoft gave it to me on Xbox Video for the Xbox One one year anniversary thing even though I only owned one for about a month before the one year anniversary happened.
Not gonna ask why all the speed lines and gradient are focusing right in on his crotch.

I imagine BoG will air on Toonami eventually especially if DBZ Kai continues to kill it in both it's slots

Hell Verse will come eventually
Yes. I just looked it up. It's from a web comic called Toonami Endgame.
