Well, that's not surprising. MHA will carry them through July 2019, and maybe further if season 4 airs next spring, then Toonami could air those episodes 3-ish months after they air.

Man, what a time for long-running shounen on Toonami!

-Marc.

Ahhhh yup! It was only a matter of time!! Season 1 I’ve already watched but seasons 2 and 3 will be new to me, yay!!

Also thank you Black Clover is going to come on after HxH in the new lineup. Only reason it was on my screen is because HxH came on after. Now I can go to sleep without watching it :3

Sweet! Now I can finally watch this series! I have a lot of friends telling me to do so, but never really had the means. Now I have no excuse. Razz

I'm bothered a little bit by Black Clover being pushed back a little more though... I'm guessing it's not doing too well for the block? Granted, it's cliched as hell, but I think it's a fine series on its own (never read the source material, so there might be disagreements there), so it is a little sad to see it keep being pushed back and pushed back. But hey, I guess it means I stay up a little bit later on Saturdays so I can watch it!

This was one thing that was lacking on the Toonami schedule, seriously though my hero academia is one of the better recent jump titles in my opinion, which is questionable that the generic Black clover made the cut before my hero

Geez... I can't believe this just crossed my mind earlier today. I love this series and was thinking it would make a great addition to Toonami. Thanks Funimation! Very Happy and Toonami, of course.

BTW.... I happen to be one of those people that enjoys Black Clover. Cool

figured this would happen at some point. Was not really interested in checking out the show, but this will give me a reason to check it out

I wish they would pick up lesser known shows again instead of stuff that's already popular but that's just me.

I watched about three episodes of this a few years back before I stopped. I do remember thinking that it was interesting that the main character didn't have powers and kind of wanted to see where they were going with that.

They're apperently planning on it, at least according to the showrubner, Jason DeMarco.

This comes at a good time for me since I will soon have weekends off permanently for the first time in 6 months. This means more Toonami. Add on top that friends and family keep recommending this series to me makes this double good news. Thirdly, this airs right after my b-day. Thanks for the (unintentional) b-day gift Funi and Toonami! Laughing
