Demon Slayer is a perfect for Toonami. I predict it will either replace SAO when it finishes the Alicization arc or if not then maybe it will air in the fall?

I thought it was pretty likely Demon Slayer would get dubbed and end up on Toonami, so this was pretty cool.

Guess we won't know whether Bunny Girl Senpai is getting dubbed until closer to November.

I know I'm getting Lost Butterfly, and I REALLY want Bunny Girl Senpai...but I really don't want to drop my rent check to get it.

Edit: After looking up Bunny Girl senpai...it was way cheaper than I expected (at least for Aniplex)

Oh. Well, that's a tad disappointing.

And also surprising, honestly. It was fairly successful and popular and has a movie coming out. Compared to other titles Aniplex never dubs I thought it had a much better chance of getting dubbed.

Ah! After recently watching and loving The Anthem Of The Heart and finding out that the "Import" Limited Edition is STILL the only way to buy it, I'm very happy to see a "normal" release for I Want To Eat Your Pancreas come out relatively quickly. While the visual production quality is definitely not up to the same level as most other anime movies released in the last 10 years, I still loved the movie when I saw it during its US theater run. So yeah, I pre-ordered that and Rascal.

I've honestly been kind of tempted to go ahead and buy the "Import" release of The Anthem Of The Heart, but having not heard good things about the subtitle quality plus the total absence of subtitles for the bonus materials is keeping me from pulling the trigger on that expensive of a release.

I had always imagined and predicted that Demon Slayer would air on toonami. It just seemed like the kind of show they'd like to air. I don't know how the english dub sounds so I'm skeptical on how that goes but I'm watching it regardless.

Demon Slayer on Toonami is awesome (other than the fact that people outside the US will have no access, but whatever), but Bunny Girl Senpai not getting a dub is very disappointing. March Comes in Like a Lion (amazing show btw) was way less popular and both 2-cour seasons were dubbed. Yea, sorry Aniplex, but I'm not gonna cough up $100 for only 13 episodes, and they don't even include a dub...

Yeah, with that kind of pricing they may as well just throw in a dub to better incentivize people to buy it.

(I mean, it's popular and all, but still).

Yeah, I was expecting it to be more too, which is nice, but it's still twice what it should be, so that's unfortunately going to be a "nope" from me.

Looking forward to Demon Slayer, though I was kinda hoping they'd get Shield Hero. But I guess they didn't wanna touch the whole master/slave thing with Naofumi and Raphtalia.

Excellent. What I've watched was really good and definitely seemed primed for Toonami. Excited for the dub!


Edit: Yeah, it's weird that Bunny Girl isn't getting a dub.
