Toonami's fall 2024 Lineup: A Blast From the Past and a New Hit!
Toonami's Fall 2024 Schedule: Underrated Gems and Recent Blockbusters!
Toonami, that legendary anime block on Adult Swim, is getting a serious revamp for Fall 2024! Get ready, folks, because they announced some major changes at New York Comic Con 2024! They are bringing back a seriously underrated classic alongside one of the biggest anime hits from recent years, meaning new viewers and older fans are going to be pleased with the programming decisions. It's a winning combination. Even with streaming services becoming so popular, Toonami remains massively influential in the West. Many anime had their Western debuts there! The recently concluded Uzumaki and the upcoming Shinichirō Watanabe-directed Lazarus are perfect examples of just this, demonstrating this sustained relevance for Toonami even with streaming.
And what exactly does this mean? They are going to have that huge lineup switch-up. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba season 4 and Rick and Morty: The Anime are wrapping up, allowing the addition of Blue Exorcist and Mashle: Magic and Muscles, kicking off November 2024! Both are huge, amazing anime; perfect additions to keep that legendary block going. It adds another critical element and continues that incredible legacy established years ago which would be difficult for a network to replicate. This really elevates that already exciting block.
Blue Exorcist's Return: A Blast From the Past for Toonami
Blue Exorcist is BACK on Toonami— the first time in over a decade! And it’s still as awesome as it was. Toonami fans adore shows with fantastic action and amazing characters, this show hits that sweet spot, those signature tropes that are part of the essence and expectations from the viewers of Toonami programming; making use of that classic fantasy action storyline that’s punctuated by amazingly strong and memorable character development that never gets stale or dull. The years-long break between seasons kept it from earning all that deserved recognition, yet this return means things are going to improve very quickly with season 4 currently airing.
That being said; one little oddity; Toonami is starting Blue Exorcist from Season 1— even though that season already aired years ago! The rationale: allowing newer viewers a completely accessible viewing experience without losing other people already very familiar. It's strange— but hopefully, Toonami will continue showing those subsequent seasons in order to make that repeated re-release seem more reasonable and easily justify the choice made.
Mashle: Magic & Muscles: A Perfect New Fit for Toonami
Mashle: Magic and Muscles is new to Toonami; yet fits extremely well, folks! Its amazingly brilliant, fast-paced action combined with super funny humor, which had significant improvements between season 1 and 2 makes it another totally awesome show with strong appeal, for many reasons. And this show’s massive popularity shows that the producers were really considering which shows could add some real hype to Toonami and thus, add even more people into watching Toonami programming, creating more people who would tune into that existing network!
Conclusion: Toonami's Fall Lineup: A Winning Combination!
Toonami's Fall 2024 lineup is exciting, an exciting combination that will appeal to those longtime viewers and others looking for new favorites, which continues its success and impressive history as that classic network to keep delivering. Getting Blue Exorcist and Mashle? That's going to generate a lot of buzz, helping attract both old and new viewers!
