Because it already has a simuldub, which Kimetsu doesn't. So they can throw the already-dubbed episodes on.

That was quick. Dr. Stone could become a huge hit.

Man, has anyone noticed that there's at least one anime per season in 2019 that ended up on Toonami lately?

I'm not sure how it is MHA is consistently the number one selling comic in the US every month but simultaneously Toonami keeps pushing back the anime later and later. Dr. Stone though is a great show and one of my favorites of the summer season and the dub is really good too.

The ratings are around where One Piece was before it left Toonami. I think it is a show that wond up on Toonami a bit too late.

They actually got Yaiba before Dr. Stone, but it doesn't have an air date yet.

Gonna have to point out that next week is when MHA starts reruns, so it makes sense its last on the block. Everything else is a TV premiere.

Probably because it isn't fully dubbed yet. They did state Fall though...

According to my TV guide, this weekend will be the last episode of MHA season 3. How will there be more on August 25th? If the ratings are as bad as people say they are, then it wouldn't make sense to do a re-run. Unless they're trying to bridge the gap before season 4? Or pad the lineup until Demon Slayer or One Punch Man S2 (if the dub is even being worked on) air?

Simple, Toonami acquired MHA around the end of season 3, 3 years after its premiere due to Hulu getting it first. It’s the same reason why ratings for Hunter x Hunter were so low, which was also acquired years after it’s original run ended. At that point pretty much everyone already saw the shows.

Plus it’s implied Toonami is downplaying MHA cause they won’t immediately get season 4 due to again Hulu.

Also what the Hell now Lupin is getting pushed back? Why are all these show premieres are coming after Goddamn Naruto? Naruto doesn’t even get that high ratings even for its placement, that show should be the back of the block.

Why does Lupin have to get moved back so far?! Move one of the crappy shows, like Black Clover or Food Wars! It’s bad enough Gundam is on so late.
