Two things about it.
1)First time the Viz dub actually gets aired outside of DVDs and streaming in the 'States unless I missed something.

2)If it lasts long enough, will this finally have us see Sailor Stars dubbed on US TV?

I'm surprised they're doing an hour of DBZ Kai but then just 30 minutes of Naruto. I'd either go an hour of Naruto or run the original DBZ dub. One episode of Naruto a week is gonna take F O R E V E R to get to the stuff people remember fondly, unless they're not planning to run it in order.

Then again, if they're doing VIZ dub Sailor Moon (which, as previously mentioned, never ran on Toonami), Kai would make sense. At least that dub likely means we won't be leaving a ton of stuff on the cutting room floor like the Cloverway dub.

I wonder if they'll move shows around the lineup as time goes on or if this is basically it. It's a two-hour block, so you could run a DBZ/Sailor Moon/Naruto film in there too...though my knowledge of their dubs is limited (if any of those movies were ever redubbed since the early 00s, how OK it would be to air the older dubs if that's all there is, etc.)

yeah, gonna rewatch Sailor Moon.

I'm more curious what gets added to the lineup eventually, original Naruto is cool, Sailor Moon's VIZ Dub is the draw here, but DBZ Kai feels like a holding pattern

Need something like YuYu Hakusho, Inuyasha, or some classic Toonami Stalwarts like Zatch Bell and BoBoBo, that era was awesome, those shows deserve shine again.

People have been wanting Toonami to get an afternoon slot for years

Got it, bring back one of the original Toonami shows:

The original Sailor Moon dub had a lot of great moments, they were having a lot of fun with the show
