Curious to see what is M&H's replacement we should be hearing about it any day now

 

[Grexeno]

Brand new Samurai Jack is legit 11:30 shit.

I really hope it's something hype as fuck.

Seraph of the End please!

Well apparently if they really want to they can keep it hidden until the end of Intruder 2.

 

[Line_HTX]

I'm not sure what revial or acquisition would justify us enduring that hell.

It's inevitable.

Mwa-hahaha

 

[SAB CA]

I've been thinking that the creation of Intruder 2 felt like a nice way for Toonami to introduce more original, home-grown content. SamJACK pt/2 fits this notion perfectly! It's good to see Toonami used as more than a way to get Anime onto TV, but also as a home for shows that don't seem to be able to find a home in the modern circulation of western animated television.

Seeing JACK return is just wonderful, though I'll miss MAKO. :-/ "Sweet Soldier Boy..."

 

[Imperial Bishop]

I just heard the news! LEGENDARY!!

I'm so fucking excited and I'm so happy that Genndy gets a chance to conclude the Samurai Jack story.

Toonami in 2016 is gonna be RIDICULOUS!

 

[Line_HTX]

Give a proper ending with Aku's complete defeat and actual end game or RIOT!

 

[Grexeno]

This is probably a bigger deal than Space Dandy.

Of note, the 11:30 Family Guy had a little over 2 million total viewers, which usually gives Toonami a nice boost for the night.

 

[Grexeno]

Oh man, either Parasyte is a bigger pull than I though, or Intruder II really has its hooks into people.

 

[Zonic]

Wow, Parasyte did rather well. No surprise at the huge drop since some people watched for Intruder, but I wonder if the fact they started right at episode 1 might've helped, for some who might not have seen it before, but wanted to give it a try now.

 

[BassForever]

Oh man, either Parasyte is a bigger pull than I though, or Intruder II really has its hooks into people.

I think both are true, outside of neogaf Parasyte 2014 is incredibly popular it ranked in many top 5 anime of the year (was also top 10 on gaf but was the last to get in). At the same time the toonami faithful are clearly very interested in the intruder 2 and once your already here look how many people even in this thread said "intruder 2 and out" but stayed for several more episodes.

rip movie nights

With our emotions out of the way: how are they going to do Aku without him? Just get a sound-alike? New presentation for the antagonist?

Greg Baldwin replaced Mako on Avatar after his passing so they could get him to do a sound alike or get another actor to play the role.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

rip movie nights

Yeah, pretty much.

 

[Hellwarden]

Glad to see the Parasyte marathon did well.

Surprisingly well.

 

[mightynine]

rip movie nights

I always thought movie nights became highly unlikely once the block shrank to its current length.

 

[Line_HTX]

Boo these numbers.

 

[Grexeno]

Expect to see even more marathons.

MLK Jr. this week? Sandwich it with marathons.

Earth Day Marathon? You bet.

 

[BassForever]

If marathons enable shit like Sam Jack to happen I'll take them once a month

 

[Line_HTX]

More SAO marathons for the ratings, lol

 

[Seda]

Right.

Also here are last year's Thanksgiving weekend numbers, just because:

Samurai Jack returning??? Seriously? Did you have anything to do with that and/or know how it came about?
Honestly it was all Mike Lazzo and Genndy. We just happened to have the perfect block to promote and run it in!

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Lazzo is a pretty alright guy in my book.

 

[Shard]

Lazzo is a pretty alright guy in my book.

I remember when he was considered to be the great satan of Adult Swim.

 

[mightynine]

Also here are last year's Thanksgiving weekend numbers, just because:

Wow, Kai's been on for a year already?

 

[Seda]

Wow, Kai's been on for a year already?

Yeah, started last November.

Also, lol.

 

[BassForever]

Right.

Also here are last year's Thanksgiving weekend numbers, just because:

Intruder 2 and Parasyte doing work

 

[Shard]

Parasyte is now one of the most successful shows in the history of Adult Swim Toonami.

 

[Crocodile]

Brand new Samurai Jack is legit 11:30 shit.

Agreed. Though I wonder if they would be hesitant to mess with DBZ Kai as the headliner given how well it does. I'd also imagine that even Family Guy reruns probably beat BRAND NEW EPISODES OF SAMURAI JACK!!!! :/

Right.

Also here are last year's Thanksgiving weekend numbers, just because:

Was AoT in reruns at this point?

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Parasyte is now one of the most successful shows in the history of Adult Swim Toonami.

Well Deserved.

 

[Grexeno]

I originally dropped Parasyte 13 episodes in. I don't think it's very good.

 

[Zonic]

Parasyte is now one of the most successful shows in the history of Adult Swim Toonami.

Sentai to use this as an excuse to get more of their shows on the air. Soon, the block will be consumed by Sentai.

Watch as M&H's replacement will be a Sentai show.

 

[Seda]

sentoonami

 

[Grexeno]

Watch as M&H's replacement will be a Sentai show.

I mean, it could very easily be something like Ushio & Tora or Log Horizon.

 

[Zonic]

Toonsentami

 

[Soulflarz]

Toonami is Jack Bitches

 

[Zonic]

I mean, it could very easily be something like Ushio & Tora or Log Horizon.

Or it could be something like Captain Earth or Cross Ange or Girls und Panzer or High School of the Dead or Infinite Stratos.

 

[Grexeno]

Or it could be something like Captain Earth or Cross Ange or Girls und Panzer or High School of the Dead or Infinite Stratos.

It will be NONE OF THOSE.

Although I can see them getting tricked into airing Captain Earth.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

I think we're gonna get 11:30 at least temporarily; I imagine the production schedule of Jack isn't gonna line up neatly with the block's lineup and it won't be able to just replace a recently finished anime. Whether they bump Kai up to 11:30 or put Jack there is the question, I'd say.

 

[Zonic]

Kai seems like it's ALWAYS going to be the first show on the block considering the nostalgia/popularity.

I coouulldd see them starting at 11:30 or perhaps expand the block while having the repeat show start at 3:30, ending at 4 a.m.

Keep in mind Jack will be in production for around a year. It could easily squeeze in when the anime that replaces M&H ends/later in the year.

 

[Zonic]

I wonder if this means that Samurai Jack will take over the rerun slot eventually to help hype the new series/have people discover the original to prepare for the new episodes.

 

[Grexeno]

If we're considering the rerun slot to be the "this show cost a whole lot so let's get another free run out of it" slot, I think Samurai Jack is a good candidate.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Crunchyroll has Jin-Roh, both the dub and the sub. I highly recommend it.

 

[Schadenfreude]

I have come, my children. Let us rejoice in the glory of new Samurai Jack episodes.

 

[Line_HTX]

They could've gotten a different Sentai show and they would still get the best ratings.
