So does this just apply to reruns, or do they mean no plans to air any new episodes too? Stopping without even finishing an arc seems pretty ridiculous, especially now that Funimation has vastly improved the dubs. If it's just reruns, that's fine, but I really hope that's all it means.

Meh, I call early April Fool's Joke, at least I'll think so until we get some more official word. It just seems really suspicious to me (that and I'm stubbornly optimistic).

Actually there was a last minute change in regards to Bakugan. CN has just removed (literally, like within the past 24 hours) the show from Toonami's schedule. Blue Dragon now airs at 10:00, followed by Samurai Jack at 10:30. Bakugan must've done REALLY bad in the ratings last week for them to remove it after only one airing. Perhaps this'll change their minds about One Piece?
Strange about Samurai Jack. Adult Swim said they were going to add the series to their schedule, but here they come & put it back on Toonami instead. |

Wow! What's YOUR problem, anyway? I could go into great detail what's wrong with that way of thinking, but I'm lazy and it's late. |

Anyway, I call shenanigans. Aside from the whole Bakugan disaster, FUNimation said just last week that One Piece was not on hiatus, that CN had more episodes, and that the schedule was simply being rotated. Seems to me like there is miscommunication somewhere on somebody's end, whether it's Toonzone, CN, or FUNi. |

So who do we believe here? FUNi says Cartoon Network only put the show on hiatus while CN says they have no more episodes to show.
You know, CN, maybe if you expanded Toonami back to 8pm and stopped showing an hour of Goosebumps repeats you'd have some room on your schedule.  I guess Goosebumps must be doing something right for them to still be showing it.
Incidentally, even though Samurai Jack is on this weekend, Bakugan seems to be back next week. Then again, TV Guide seems to think Blue Dragon is on again next week too. Seems like the constant changes and temporary substitutions are confusing everyone. Emerje |

TV Guide is just slow to update long term plans when these kind of schedule changes happen. |

It is amazing that Goosebumps is still on. When it showed up around Halloween it seemed appropriate, but they've aired every episode repeatedly. Seriously, it's time to drop that stupid show and expand Toonami again. Reruns of practically anything from Toonami would have to be better. But then again, maybe they don't realize that it's March considering they still air those dumb eye-catches using that song about fall being invented by grown-ups.

So let me get this straight, they're not going to show repeats then? Are they going to show new shows when they get them from Funi?

Something Tells me that this is staring to feel like case closed all over again. Cause i have a feeling that all the remakes of the 4kids epsiodes will be on the uncut box sets since those version are already out on dvd.if that's the case it's future is going to get really bleak which would cause fan to go to fansubs. A no win situation for everyone.

Samurai Jack was probably added at the last minute to fill the hole in the schedule. It may still end up on AS in the long run. Toonzone's wording is vague on this. "We have run out of new episodes" could just mean the current season of OP episodes is over and they are waiting for new ones. But it could also mean that the show is canceled. It's always been a consistently well-rated show on Toonami, even during the 4Kids days. It was no Naruto, but it was usually the #2 show on the block (even before it was cut down to just two hours.) So it seems silly that they'd cancel it now, especially since ratings reportedly improved once Funi's dub began airing. And doubly so because the show they replaced it with was apparentally a dismal failure. I think we need to wait for FUNimation to comment on this before we can know anything for sure. |

Well, Samurai Jack is just about the best we could of hoped for in this situation.
Well, Samurai Jack and Megas XLR maybe. |
