Worst. Possible. Outcome. Knew Toonami was gonna be the fail safe seeing how childrens TV turned down Super in the UK not surprising the US childrens TV turned it down too. Bah.

This is outrageous. How long have people waited for this? We can at least hope it doesn't get shelved for good. Perhaps they'll silently release the Blu-rays?

I knew without knowing practically that they were going to air Buu Kai on Toonami soon, but man, was NOT expecting the Super news as well.

Am I awake? This isn't a dream, right? :shock:

Certainly was not expecting that. Huh. On one hand, we have to wait until January, but on the other, that's a month from today.

Seems like I was right. We won't be getting The Final Chapters at all now, but yay for Super.

Finally, after 3 years we get Buu Kai. And Super on Toonami? didn't see that coming. Good luck selling those action figures to kids who can't watch at 20:00/23:30.

It aired at that time on Nicktoons and it did fine. Kids will be able to watch.

So does this warrant the creation of an announcement discussion thread or will this topic just get repurposed after over 2 years of being about speculation

Toonami announced both Kai and Super and the airing times on Facebook.
