About time more people need to watch this amazing show. Kinda sad Jojo is at 12:30AM again especially since I have to always work on Sundays. xD

About damn time. Is Dragon Ball Z Kai really doing that well? I find it very weird that they keep giving such high priority to an abridged series.

The Dragon Ball block does well. Though Kai is almost done, so unless they're going to repeat it, the schedule will probably change again. |

Well they have had stuff like Tokyo Ghoul and Parasyte (and Attack on Titan, if you’re one of those people) that don’t fit in either category, so they clearly do other stuff. |

Well Kai does End in 2 months so it looks like MHA will possibly take it's place when it's done. Also Looks like Demarco was on point about 1 of the Future Acquisitions. https://twitter.com/Clarknova1/status/984046198742028289 |

Actually, this is the first time JoJo will regularly air in a slot that isn't midnight. |

MHA being on Toonami is cool, but not happy with Jojo and BC being pushed back. Guess I'm back to going to bed at midnight and using On Demand on Sunday...

Thought this was tied up in other rights like streaming, so glad they got it. Curious for the other stuff DeMarco's teasing.

Considering how long the dub has been out, I'm worried about a repeat of the Tokyo Ghoul/Attack on Titan season 2 situation. Those shows had massive fanbases, but they didn't show up for the Toonami airing. In My Hero Acadmia's case, it will spend a few weeks behind Kai, which has pretty big drops from Super. Maybe MHA can convince people to stick around for Kai, but we'll see. The last instance of two shows above one million was Samurai Jack and Dragonball Super. If Kai holds, there is hope. The big issue is that I don't know what "good" ratings are any more. Black Clover's ratings were virtually identical to Titan Season 2 and JoJo, but those shows never got the boot like One Piece did. I'm guessing that 700,000 is the "safe zone" to avoid deathslotting, but I'm not sure. If MHA gets above that, it should be safe. Considering the love this show gets, I am confident it will meet this benchmark

Those all ran in shonen manga magazines, they're just slightly more violent than the likes of Dragon Ball, My Hero Academia, Hunter x Hunter and Black Clover. Toonami hasn't had a seinen or original (not based on manga) show in a while, discounting Gundam. But they're getting 2 new seasons of FLCL that they produced themselves, so that should fix it! |

Yeah, I always knew that MHA would gain a lot more popularity and mainstream recognition enough to the point that once when it airs on Toonami, it's pretty much set in stone that it would reach that path and for that, congrats to MHA finally reaching that stage!
Since the first three seasons will be airing on Toonami and will last from May 2018 to July 2019, I wonder if it will start airing the fourth season at that time too. Regardless, congrats to Toonami finally getting an anime series that everyone wanted to see air in that block and I wish I could say the same for YTV before they went downhill from here. |

Nice to see Toonami expanding the block to this size once again. Though I kind of wish CN would've used MHA for the afternoon / evening timeslots to break up the monotony of Teen Titans Go and bring back anime to these time slots like they did years ago with Naruto and Kenshin.

Without Toonami, Cartoon Network would only have Ballmastrz as the closest thing to Anime. No more Anime in the daytime. They even dropped Pokemon so it can go to Disney X-D. |

Black Clover is really getting pushed around. The overhype that Japan and Crunchyroll tried to force on it as "the next big thing", only for it to underperform due to being a poor man's Fairy Tail, must really sting. And now Toonami's stuck with it for another eight months.

Another studio could have made it work maybe? Unfortunately I couldn't get past the first two episodes. |
