I'd probably put my money on Tokyo Ghoul if we're talking about a Funimation pickup. Unfortunately.
If it is, bright side? We could have done much much worse.
Lack of Club Nintendo has cut down significantly my purchase Nintendo games at full price just for codes lust while they sit on my digital shelf. Still haven't bought STEAM or Kirby because of this, and I now have a backlog of 3 Atlus games to buy, which will be 5 by the end of the year.
Unfortunately I've replaced these purchases with new hardware (N3DS XL, new office pc, a ton of different headphones) and of course, Amiibos. Splatoon is too good and I have those amiibos on the way.
I think you're being too kind, though my hate for the show is probably intensified because I enjoyed the manga.
The most hilarious thing about Fairy Tail on TOONAMI is that despite being the most vocal proponent of the idea I think it's time has past. It hasn't been mentioned in over a year on the Q+A and only really fit as the last premiere on the 6/6.5 hour block. DBZ, Naruto, One Piece have the long shows on lock, plus a Viz premiere or two and an Aniplex premiere or two.
Maybe
Then I would have the same problem too.
In stores I bought Charizard, Ness and Silver Mario. I just ordered Wario off Amazon.
Pre-orders for Jigglypuff and the Splatoon 3-pack have been shipped.
I am so glad that the next big drop isn't until September.
What's funny is that they had the time to make a good show with the source material, but I guess they didn't have the budget? A bunch of decisions made no sense in the first season with what they focused on and what they cut. Especially with what they cut for the sake of getting to the end faster.
The first 12 episodes are okay, but the back half is unwatchable.

Believe in the Kirito that believes in you.
Which is ridiculous because Fairy Tail is kind of bad.
Has the Toonami panel happened already and we got our hopes and dreams of Jojo's crushed?
21 hourish from now.
From what little I saw of the show, it wasn't offensively bad, just.........not good. I want shows on Toonami that make me go "fuck yes!" not "meh" or "UUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHH!". Toonami has more than enough of the later two (IMO of course).
Gundam Build Fighters would be great but it isn't dubbed. I don't think any recent Gundam show has gotten a dub to my knowledge. The most recent I can think of is Gundam 00 which starts out great but eventually gets pretty fucking stupid. Seed and Destiny suck. Moving further back we get Wing and G Gundam but I dunno if Toonami wants such old shows on right now? What other non-OVA Gundam stuff has gotten a dub?
Ugh, that show has like one or two bright spots but overall isn't good :/
This is basically the case with almost every possible acquisition at this point.

Haven't seen that talked about anywhere, unfortunately.
AS/TOONAMI has aired
Wing (The only bonafide hit)
08th MS Team (Midnight Run)
0080: A War in the Pocket (Midnight Run)
0083:Stardust Memory (ASA's Saturday Anime only block)
Mobile Suit Gundam (Canceled during its run during 2001 on Afternoon TOONAMI)
SD Gundam (Afternoon TOONAMI)
G Gundam (Afternoon TOONAMI)
SEED (Saturday Toonami, finished it's run on a friday night anime block with other winners like Legend of the Twilight Bracelet)
Everything after 0083 did not do well besides possibly G Gundam, which reached a sort of cult status here. SEED, the show that blew up in Japan, did particularly badly over here and they never even aired SEED Destiny in the US (It was aired in Canada)
Literally the only dubbed Gundam products they could get away with airing right now are 00, which aired to completion on Sci Fi's Animonday, or the Gundam Unicron dub, which might work if they want to get back into OVAs. Everything else does not have a dub or is too old.
I honestly believe we won't see any Gundam on TOONAMI until Gundam Wing gets an HD remaster.

Based on that Sentai hint, I think we're locked for Akame ga Kill.
Or even better, Log Horizon.

I remind you that DeMarco has already said that Akame ga Kill would be the first Sentai show they grab, so unless we're getting multiple Sentai shows at once, Log Horizon will for sure NOT be announced tomorrow.Based on that Sentai hint, I think we're locked for Akame ga Kill.

That may not be such a loss, unfortunately.But that means no Pimp Cat.
The worst part of Akame ga Kill is how it tries to mix "OW DE EDGE" with animu humor "OH NOES YOU TOUCHED MY BOOB!". Sorry whoever worte AgK, you can't have it both ways :/
Lord Dio's swagger will save us. Believe!
They didn't license the director's cut of the final episode. I imagine a lot of people wold be upset with how the normal version of the ending goes. I figure Hajime might be a turn off for some people too (even though she's secretly the smartest person in the show).

We still have to get Phantom Blood + Battle Tendency on the block and have them not bomb before we get Stardust CrusadersLord Dio's swagger will save us. Believe!

So majestic and menacing.....like a lion on the hunt.
At least Dio is in one of those parts too
We'll see how things go but I don't think the show is that hard a sell. Should be easy to make good promos for it at least.
Part II is more consistent anyway
Seriously what in the fuck is up with Hunter x Hunter?
1. Someone weird has the rights and is taking their damn time with them.
2. No one really has the rights to the dub and Netflix just licensed the sub the same way Crunchyroll did.
3. TOONAMI is dubbing it in house.

You know we could be getting a movie night announcement of DBZ Battle of Gods, thats a big deal and Funi show that people would get excited about.
And yeah hoping for Akame Ga Kill on the block, its ending is gecko shitty filler but at least the first 18ish are a great adaptation of the manga

It fell on a Thursday 2 years ago.
June 4th is next Thursday.
The 4th of July is a Saturday. July is the month that typically follows June. The fourth day of the month is a holiday in the US of some import, celebrating the signing of the Declaration of Independence and therefore the formation of the United States. Typically associated with fireworks.
