Yes, but time vortexes tend to do that to people.

It looks like toonami is going to have a BIG night tomorrow http://toonami.tumblr.com/post/48939425279/announcement-about-tomorrow-night

 

[HG Revolution]

Guessing the friend is FUNi and they're advertising One Piece early, probably to promote the DVDs/ streaming.

The intersidual from "friends" is most likely the first of the One Piece recaps. I'm pretty pumped for tomorrow night.

 

[Daikun]

What's the deal with all the King of the Hill fanart on the Tumblr recently?

 

[Hypeathon]

I dunno, though I am curious to know if they are aware of Steve Yurko's King of the Hill x One Piece fanart.

 

[Beefy]

There was a King of the Hill cameo on the "new to Adult Swim" Family Guy they aired on Monday night. That might have something to do with it?

 

[El-Hazard]

What's the deal with all the King of the Hill fanart on the Tumblr recently?

It's King of the Hill characters as characters from Toonami shows.
I guess they just find them funny.

Cross promotion, my dear. You gotta remember, they're in the same part of the network now.

Cross promotion, my dear. You gotta remember, they're in the same part of the network now.

Could BE cross promotion, could just be that they like King of the Hill.

As for tomorrow night's surprises? It COULD be something One Piece related and it could be a song by Richie Branson. He tweeted a few weeks ago that he was working on a new Toonami song.

 

[Anyone00]

Now this seems like a strange omen.

That sounds pretty cool. I imagine that it does involve One Piece, but there could be more surprises beyond that, so it should be interesting to watch the first couple of hours to see how that turns out.

The On Air Schedule has been updated to June, and it included One Piece.

That schedule actually has One Piece and Soul Eater swapping slots on June 8th. Could be a mistake, though.

It's probably an error. I don't see a reason to swap those shows, and if they did that would be based on how they compare in the ratings. Since One Piece has yet to air, it would be far too early to make a decision like that.

I really hope they dump Black Dynamite in favor of a Venture Bros. encore in June but I quite like seeing Home Movies back on the schedule.

Also seems they don't get to run Cleveland Show season 4 yet.

That's a mighty fine Toonami schedule if I do say so myself.

 

[Ishtar]

The formatting needs work, but here is an archive I have started of old Toonami schedules. Currently included are all of the schedules since the move to Saturdays in 2004 to the present. I had to do a lot of digging in the old archived Toonami forum, Toonzone's old schedules on archive.org, and Nickandmore. Hope you guys appreciate the effort! It's a nice look into the past!

Here's a sneak peek of the new look:

[Dan's Revenge]

Gotta say, that May 18th lineup, just the first 3 hours look scrumptious.

I also like the photo Brian added above this post. I like the font text for Toonami and the wording after it. It looks... powerful.
