Toonami Returns on May 26

Toonami Faithful, Adult Swim have heard you through Twitter and now Toonami is coming back on May 26.

Thanks for staying gold.

The new schedule for the block has yet to be announced, probably during this Saturday during the final ASA block as it transitions to Toonami, so watch for the new schedule. Adult Swim could have acquired some of Funimation's properties, Sentai Filmworks, and Viz (I.E Fairy Tail, Inuyasha Final Act, Cat Planet Cuties, Bodacious Space Pirates, etc.) as part of the 2012-2013 upfront.

AS and Toonami will have separate blocks on Saturday beginning May 26.

9-12 for Comedies and AS originals

12am begins the transition from the Adult Swim to Toonami.

According to the AS schedule of April 30, Durarara, Kekkaishi, FLCL, Ghost in the Shell have been removed from the Saturday Lineup, leaving Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Cowboy Bebop. According to their Wikipedia article, Astro Boy (1963 TV) and Trigun is expected to return.

Since 1999 before the creation of Adult Swim. Toonami had its' own midnight block called the Midnight Run, began airing anime for teens and adults of 17+. It is unknown whether we may get a TOM 5.0 after the block ended with TOM 4.0.
