Huh? Toonami rarely simulcasts and they never show fanservice heavy shows like DAnime hyper.

They're re-airing FLCL (original) to help prepare for the new seasons. But Iron-Blooded Orphans is almost done, DBZ Kai just started with the Kid Buu saga. Ghost In The Shell shouldn't take long to finish up. Cowboy Bebop is just repeating itself again.

Kill la Kill and Space Dandy have a bunch of fanservice. Though Space Dandy has only 1 scene censored and Kill la Kill they were able to control how much they could show. In fact they cut out a scene in Kill la Kill that they didn't even need to cut out. They also finally showed the Hot Springs Outlaw Dtar episode after all of these years.

So they can show fanservice, but Highschool DxD is on a whole another level. Like if they showed DxD, then I wouldn't see why they couldn't show something like Tenchi.

The could show DxD, but it would be censored, so there'd be no point.

Hulu will also add Attack on Titan season 2 and the first part of My Hero Academia season 2 on April 10. Both series will be available with their English dubs.


I think this should be re-worded. Both of those are already available on Hulu, but they will be adding their English dubs.

I’m also surprised Hulu isn’t simulcasting Steins;Gate 0, as they have the original series.

I'd assume they're referring to Tokyo Ghoul:re and Gun Gale Online.

Tokyo Ghoul makes some sense, but not GGO.

Toonami censored Kill La Kill quite a lot unbeknownst to most viewers. There's several censored or cut out scenes in most episodes.

Kill La Kill Episode 9 - US Broadcast Censorship
Kill La Kill Episode 11 - US Broadcast Censorship
Kill La Kill Episode 16 - US Broadcast Censorship
Kill La Kill Episode 18 - US Broadcast Censorship
Kill La Kill Episode 19 - US Broadcast Censorship

Anyways, I would be surprised if anything even close Highschool DxD even if it were action oriented. What would be the point when something as innocuous and relatively light like KLK gets this edited?
