Been waiting for this. The first Toonami after my Spring classes conclude is gonna be good.
On the downside this is probably when HxH moves to midnight MST unless they surprise us by moving Tokyo Ghoul instead.

Toonami found a show that'll make the ratings of gundam look good :V
The OP is too GOAT to cut, they gotta leave it in place

Ecstatic to hear Lupin is coming back home. I missed the old gang.

Very canny of them to get all the Geneon dub actors back.
I've seen most of this show. Very fun, though I will say that the first stretch of episodes don't have as high production values as the rest.
I wonder if this will continue the recent trend of goofy Italian accents.

Good news: Fuck yeah, Lupin Part 4
Bad news: Ratings might be mediocre
But this might the kind of obscure, hidden gem to attract curious watchers, so fingers crossed.

Great news about Lupin!

So If I had to take a guess of future new shows then, IBO2 replaces Attack on Titan and Mob Psycho 100 replaces Tokyo Ghoul.
Demarco's all but officially confirmed that Stardust Crusaders is replacing AoT, though.

Oh, didn't realize. Then maybe Mob Psycho and then IBO2 fill the Tokyo Ghoul slot in that order then.

I would assume it'll be a year after Stardust Crusaders starts?
Neat. I hope it does well despite... well, lack of optimism here. I hope it stands alone well enough.

Please tell me they're not going to push Hunter x Hunter to 2:00.
They are pushing Hunter x Hunter to 2 AM. Such is the fate of all long running shonen not named Dragonball.
They probably are. Had to happen sooner or later.
I'd been hoping they switch its and Tokyo Ghoul's time slot lol.
Unfortunately that seems to be doing well.
Much like all the other edgy shit that the average Toonami viewer likes.
IT'S NOT MATURE! IT'S STUPID! IT'S POORLY WRITTEN! GET SOME TASTE!
Time for me to start picking up the manga again.

The new Lupin III series has really fun individual episodes, but it also tries to have an overall story, and that is hot trash. It involves Leonardo DaVinci being cloned and him trying to take over the world, and it's played straight.
That sounds awesomely bad.
Sounds pretty good to me!
So the writers are fans of the new Baki the Grappler manga.
Bleach didn't move to the bottom until after it had finished it's entire run.

And back when Naruto was airing after HxH last year, it actually had really good holdover viewer-wise. Assuming Lupin doesn't go the way Unicorn did, the back half of the block may end up pulling in better ratings.
Ah but there was also no Dragonball there when Bleach was airing either.

Not only that but that was around the time where they were okay with having Naruto was at 12:30 and One Piece at 1:00.
The Toonami space just can't function like that anymore.
So yeah, not surprised. I expected this to happen. Whatever.

I still wonder if DeMarco pulls the plug on Naruto after the Pain arc is over. Issues of quality aside, Shippuden goes through a level a filler hell and padding that makes Bleach's final years look tame by comparison.
Great for Lupin! It gets kooky towards the end, but it's a fun series. I love the way modern Lupin series handle Zenigata, and it's always cool to see this classic gang figure how to work modern tech. Rebecca is also a fun enough character.
The series 50th anniversary.. eesh. It has to feel great as a creator, to see something you brought life to exist so long, and to be here to watch it. Cheers to Monkey Punch!

That opening is so good. Almost too good.
Oh thank god, Lupin is replacing Unicorn instead of more Gundam. Lupin should make for a great group watch.
....but crap, HxH most likely getting pushed to 2 a.m.....especially when in a month or two, I might have to switch work days & I won't be able to watch Lupin or HxH live with you guys, which is going to be so disappointing, especially with HxH getting so good lately.

I am not even upset HxH is getting pushed to 2 if it means Lupin is its lead in. Gives people less reason to skip the last half of the block.
I am pretty excited. Lupin is always a fun group watch.
