When you’ve been viewing any business break on Grownup Swim over the past month, then Blade Runner: Black Lotus is premiering on Toonami this weekend. And for those who’ve been usually studying this web site, you knew that truth method earlier than then (handy, isn’t it?) The query is what it’s going to do to Toonami’s schedule.
The schedule is in a bizarre place proper now as a result of My Hero Academia simply completed its newest season and the subsequent one gained’t be obtainable for some time. Different reveals have ended and been changed with nothing (Black Clover’s previous spot, for now, is stuffed with Fena repeats). The schedule has modified wildly over the previous month, giving itself as much as marathons of DC cartoons — which has occurred earlier than, however not for a number of weeks in a row. Right here’s how the Toonami schedule seems for November 13:
12:00AM – Blade Runner: Black Lotus
12:30AM – Blade Runner: Black Lotus
01:00AM – Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon
01:30AM – Meals Wars S4
02:00AM – Naruto: Shippuden
02:30AM – Fena: Pirate Princess
03:00AM – Dr. Stone S2
03:30AM – Dragon Ball Tremendous
Blade Runner will premiere with the primary two episodes in a row. That’s all effectively and good, however what is going to they do the next week? Certainly they’ll must put a distinct collection within the 12:30 slot, proper?
Nicely…right here’s the November 20 schedule:
12:00AM – Blade Runner: Black Lotus
12:30AM – Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon
01:00AM – Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon
01:30AM – Meals Wars S4
02:00AM – Naruto: Shippuden
02:30AM – Fena: Pirate Princess
03:00AM – Dr. Stone S2
03:30AM – Dragon Ball Tremendous
Do you get the sense they’re stalling for time? Like there’s a present they’re making an attempt to get however can’t have simply but? We’re simply speculating right here with out info. The November 27 schedule continues to be unknown, however we do know what Toonami is exhibiting on November 26. And that’s not a typo…
On Friday, November twenty sixth, catch a particular night time of Toonami! Blade Runner Black Out 2022 premieres at 11:00 PM, Blade Runner 2049 premieres at 11:15 PM, and Blade Runner: Black Lotus episodes 2-4 air at 3:00 AM! pic.twitter.com/Ii8MNPp6yg

Sure, it’s two Toonami Firsts in a single: their first Grownup Swim look on a Friday, and their first airing of a live-action film (be at liberty to right me in the event that they ever did this on CN). Blade Runner 2049 will air on AS with Toonami branding Thanksgiving weekend, adopted by repeats of episodes 1 by way of 3 of Black Lotus (the tweet says 2 by way of 4, however that’s a typo).
The right Saturday Toonami schedule for the next day continues to be unknown. However we’re rolling into the vacations and an excuse to do marathons, so it wouldn’t shock us if the rest of the 2021 schedule is nothing however stalling mechanisms (and Black Lotus premieres). We’ll let .
