Toonami, which belongs to Adult Swim, has announced its November’s programming block, which features some very famous anime.
Summary
- Toonami is dedicated to anime and other types of animation.
- Toonami has announced its November’s programming block.
- It includes Demon Slayer Mugen Train Arc and Dr. Stone: New World Part 2.
- It’s difficult to compete with Crunchyroll, but Toonami is doing its best.
Since its creation in 2012, Toonami has been dedicated to drowning its fans in a tsunami of cartoons, hence the name. This November, a couple large titles made their way into Toonami’s programming block, and we want to talk about them.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Mugen Train Arc
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is about two siblings who hunt demons after a demon killed their entire family. One of them, the sister, has actually been transformed into a demon, but she has received some help and doesn’t attack humans, only demons.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Mugen Train Arc consists of seven episodes that cover manga volumes 7-11. The Train Arc can be considered the first part of the second season of Demon Slayer. It first aired in 2021, and it received over 8 points on MyAnimeList and IMDB. The anime was certainly well-received, and fans are looking forward to watching it again.
Dr. Stone: New World Part 2
Dr. Stone: New World Part 2, which is essentially a post-apocalyptic adventure and mystery about humans suddenly turning into stone, has also been well-received. It has a high score on MyAnimeList, and it is still airing (since October 12), which gives fans a great opportunity to watch the anime if they could not catch it on Crunchyroll.
Toonami and Fans
Toonami will be broadcasting both anime on November 11, along with other very well-acclaimed and beloved anime like One Piece and Naruto Shippūden. While no premieres are offered by Toonami, not everyone uses Crunchyroll, which is why this programming block can be very useful.
While originating from the USA, Toonami has expanded worldwide; for example, France has a Toonami channel. However, most of the attempts to expand into other countries or regions, for example, Pakistan and Southeast Asia, did not prove to be very successful. As a result, the news is mostly of use to the USA viewers.
In a world where Crunchyroll exists, it is difficult for broadcasting TV to compete, but Toonami is trying, and airing famous and well-received anime like Demon Slayer or Dr. Stone is definitely useful for that purpose.
