“I’m sorry [Akame]. I guess i broke my promise [to make it back alive].”
– Tatsumi, Akame ga Kill! (Ep. 23)
The Toonami Trending Rundown for February 13-14, 2016. A good night for social media buzz for the night as Toonami and every show had trended in the US during their respective East Coast airings in addition to #DBZKai during it’s encore presentation as well as the #SentaiHour during Akame and Parasyte.
Good news, everyone. As announced on this week’s Toonami Pre-Flight, we now know what the replacement of Akame will be: the broadcast dub premiere of Dimension W. And of course in regards to trending, #DimensionW managed to trend in the US when the promo was shown during Shippuden and Kill la Kill.
Shifting gears in regards to Toonami News, I am pleased to announce I have submitted an application and have been approved as a member of the press for the San Diego Comic-Con. The course of action for our coverage this year will be known over the next few months, but I am honored to have the opportunity to cover the event for you all.
Tune in next week as Akame ga Kill! showcases it’s series finale, among other great moments. Until then, have a Happy Valentines Day, a Happy President’s Day and stay gold.
