The official Facebook page for Adult Swim's Toonami block announced a new schedule on Thursday. Starting on January 5, the lineup will be:

11:00 p.m. – Dragon Ball Super
11:30 p.m. – Boruto: Naruto Next Generations
12:00 a.m. – My Hero Academia
12:30 a.m. – Mob Psycho 100
1:00 a.m. – Megalobox
1:30 a.m. – JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable
2:00 a.m. – Black Clover
2:30 a.m. – Hunter x Hunter

3:30 a.m. – Attack on Titan
4:00 a.m. – Pop Team Epic
4:30 a.m. – Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans

The block will start at 11:00 p.m. again, instead of 9:00 p.m. as it does now. It will also drop the hour of programming it gained in September. Dragon Ball Z Kai and Samurai Jack will drop off the current lineup.

Toonami will air a Dragon Ball Super marathon on December 22 and a Boruto marathon on December 29.

Think they are making a mistake bringing this back to 11. Should have started it at 10 if anything

[chrom]

That's two hours they are dropping from it.

And what's in their place? You guessed it, nothing but more McFarlane reruns

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

But when will they make more time for Teen Titans Go?

May as well if there's a chance of the Disneyed Fox pulling them when the deal goes through.

(Could this happen?)

Hmm

Fox seems to play fast and loose with how they do their shows since Cleveland Show is now on Comedy Central but it is not outside the realm of possibility they could pull them at some point but for now I don't think so

[eJm]

Honestly, I can’t see Disney pulling any FOX Show from Adult Swin for one simple reason;

Syndication money.

Like, as long as cash flow’s coming from one of the newly acquired properties is coming in from somewhere, it doesn’t seem that logical to remove it unless you have separate plans for them to make all that money and even though they’ll own FX and FXX, there’s no real logical reason to not have a rival give them that sweet syndication money if that show is doing well for the network it’s on.

Not the same example but it’s why Disney allows Double Fine to remaster their old Lucasarts developed games. Disney sure as hell aren’t going to make a Grim Fandango game themselves so why not allow the people who made them who run Double Fine do the work and Disney get a cut from it, as small as it might be compared to Marvel or Star Wars?

[Rave]

Ugh. Keep the crap comedy reruns off Saturdays, Adult Swim. You already saturate the rest of the week with them, let us have one night without them.

[Deleted]

Why start at 11? Have Dragon Ball/My Hero Academia be your 10pm hour. Not like you're going to lose much considering how much they spam American Dad.

Wait... Somebody else bought the syndication rights to The Cleveland Show?!

[wildojinx]

Thats a whole lot of premieres (Megalobox, Jojo, Black Clover, Hunter X Hunter) in the post-midnight slot (or midnight-2am if you live in the central time zone like myself).

Don't know how long it was about but I noticed about a month ago they were having American Dad early at 9 and then it goes to Bobs Burgers at 10, a few days later i'm scrolling channels and see Cleveland Show is now on Comedy Central which makes since in a way since Futurama was on their for a while too and I think still is (Know they are on SyFy)

[ayumidah]

The only thing that bothers me about it is now I have to watch until 2 AM, when I could just finish at 1 AM and get online and do a few things before bed.

Can't they just fill them with some old Toonami stuff like Tenchi Muyo, Outlaw Star or Gundam Wing/SEED/0083 etc? If not, like I said in another thread, some pro wrestling? Buy out some promotion and give them exposure, or heck, buy out Impact if POP drops em.

That would be asking Cartoon Network to put in some effort, and unless its about promoting another twenty hour Twit Titans marathon, forget it.

Though Adult Swim isnt adverse to picking up live action, putting it on Toonami would get the same reaction that CN Real got (even then, Adult Swim's live action is barely promoted anymore).

I meant to say to put it in Adult Swim in lieu of Seth McFarlane shows

Unless it's a cartoon based on wrestling like Ultimate Muscle or something.

Or Mucha Lucha. El Tigre was on nick

Cartoons are fine and a lot does wrestling homages but love action isn’t happening
