Glad it's back and on the main block but oof, that time slot. I would put it at 1:30 or 2 AM personally. It should be going on before NS at least.

So does this mean that Sailor Stars could be broadcasted? Could Toonami "finished" Sailor Moon classic once and for all?

3:00AM????

That was intentional. Especially when Kai has been on there for so much longer, Sailor Moon could've gotten that spot. But my guess is that they don't think the numbers would justify an earlier time.

But i had no idea that Mashle was on Toonami. Did MHA come back yet

I'm glad Sailor Moon is coming back at all but I assume since Naruto is starting over again it's also starting with episode one but I hope they'll actually get to R this time. I also hope Toonami airs all the Naruto episodes this time.

There's an error in the schedule you posted, ANN. it's actually the OG Naruto airing at 2:30 am, not Naruto Shippuden.

Those timeslots are unreasonable. I enjoyed watching Sailor Moon on rewind, but I am not staying up until 3AM for it. These legacy shows just appear to be getting brought back to appease fans and nothing else. They can't have any faith in them to draw an audience.

DVR it, they count after views (eg by DVR) as views!!!

Possibly? This is the uncut dub made by Viz, but it's currently unclear if Adult Swim has the rights to all 200 episodes of Sailor Moon or just the first season. If it's the latter case, then AS can most likely purchase the rights to the later seasons if the current episodes get good ratings. Either way, at one episode a week it'll be 4 years before Toonami gets to Sailor Stars (3 if they're starting from Sailor Moon R.)

It counting as views is irrelevant for most people. Unless you have a Nielsen box, your viewing the show is not tracked in any way to measure ratings.

Was a Nielsen viewer/user and this is true, but they don't use a box anymore that I can tell you for sure. Can't tell you anymore because you have to sign a NDA. All I will say is if you are invited to be one, don't throw away those mailings and at least open them.

It's hard to say if we got trolled after Toonami Rewind got cancelled. I wouldn't be shocked if WB decide to change their mind and revive Toonami Rewind next month.

Just to let you all know, they are starting at Episode 1 of Season 1 again. They already put it on their website schedule with the listing "The Crybaby: Usagi's Beautiful Transformation", which is Episode 1 of Season 1.
