I just want something that's fun to groupwatch I haven't seen before. Food Wars fit that criteria but I couldn't help myself from getting ahead.

They are also the only legal place to watch the Demon Slayer and Promised Neverland (two of the most popular shows of 2019) dubs, unless you have access to AnimeLab in Aus/NZ. |

That's basically why I still watch Toonami, although currently I only tune in to see the Demon Slayer dub. It's too fun watching people live-react about an episode, even if you already watched it subbed weeks/months ago. |

I too also watch the block partly cause I am apart of a weekly chat group & the live reactions are fun.
Also since I am very lazy so I barley get any shows done in my time. The block provides me a sense of scheduling that allows me to actually watch shows even if it’s at a slow pace. For instance I once started Kimetsu & dropped off at episode 14 not because I didn’t like it but because my attention span go too low & now weeks seem to go by before I even notice it. Now the block is at the point where I dropped off so I can finally continue the show. |

Agreed, it's nice to have a few shows to watch in a structured time thanks to the block and group watch with people online on the same ep at the same time.
It does seem like now's a decent time to briefly trim the block for a little while with two shows ending right around the same time. Though as usual I'm a bit surprised they're cutting the last hour too since both of those repeats they more or less just added back to the block since Promised Neverland was still only a couple of eps into its just started repeat and AoT was still in the first half of season 1. So both had plenty of time left to fill. I think they've been doing that a little too often with their repeats for a while now. They really need to do a better job of looking ahead and deciding whether they actually want to run the repeat or not and stop cutting them mid-run. Some people might be watching those for just the first or more likely maybe just second time and I still remember how frustrating that was on even some of the GITS SAC repeat runs lol. Where they'd get to like a few eps from the end and then just shorten the block rather than finish the last few eps.
Yeah I think it's fun. Plus still plenty of dub premieres. |

Blade Runner - Black Lotus is still on the menu bois, nice. Not that i ever got worried but things grew silent for a full year.
Naruto or Jump on general as midnight anime, lol. I can see that for JoJo as those run pretty late in Japan but that´s about it. |

I haven't watched Toonami in like 3 years. Maybe even more.
Not because I don't like it, but because I don't have cable. I really do miss it and wish I could keep watching it. But now I just feel like I'm far too out of the loop to get back into it. Plus, I generally get everything I wanna watch off Crunchyroll. I still feel like I'm missing out though

I think that only applies to shows like MHA who have their dub episodes premiere a few weeks earlier on Funimation than Toonami. Toonami’s been doing better at being the initial premiere center for shows like Attack on Titan, The Promised Neverland, and Demon Slayer. |

Not gona lie, I'm usually asleep when Toonami is on. I just don't stay up late anymore, plus as a kid it was fun to watch after school and the midnight run, was a fun reason for me to stay up late as a kid for an hour. These days however I just don't care. If I want to watch a show, I just stream it, regardless of the time of day. I do record the dub for Jojo, but I've been less than impressed with the dub for part 5. Ray Chase is awesome as Bruno, but everyone else is just decent at best, IMO. The fact that I saw the entire series in Japanese last year, doesn't exactly motivate me much to finish the dub either.

I always wondered if Toonami isn't able to get Sailor Moon back on the block, why not go for Madoka Magica, the other important and popular magical girl series, as an alternative? Unless that still being on Netflix affects its chances on Toonami to nil. |

Sailor Moon is on Hulu in the U.S., and Viz won't allow any edits to be made (though it's unclear if those are necessary anymore). |

Netflix doesn’t really own Madoka, they are just showing it which is why you can also watch it on Crunchyroll, Funimation Now and maybe Hulu too. I think Madoka’s problem is that the length of the episodes are a bit unusual in length in some of the episodes which becomes a problem with broadcasting if they are not going to censor it. Though then again Toonami’s TIE events are always off-balanced the first couple of hours. |

Right. Toonami is a communal experience. |

I enjoy Toonami a lot and I don’t even do those things. Watching Toonami is more like an experience. Like you don’t just watch it. |

There’s nothing to censor in Sailor Moon anymore and I doubt Toonami has a problem with the Yuri/Yaoi scenes. It’s all a matter if they can get the rights or not or if they even want to. |
