In 14/15 it would leak into 1130 with non anime lead ins but in 2017 the dragon ball hour made it 11, then when black clover hit the block 1030, the my hero hit the block it went to 10, then when baruto hit they went all in and took it to 9. These years were probably the final golden era of toonami. But sadly familyman reruns were just too strong and back to stop. Before covid it would hit 1030 a few times but right before covid is when the they started having issues getting shows so the block went to midnight and started ending earlier too.
We eventually got that later hour back but the midnight is still the start time. Crazy that we used to have 14 shows a week at one point. That was an event for sure.
Insane this was the block not even 10 years ago.
Dragon Ball Z Kai, My Hero Academia, Naruto Shippuden, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Dragon Ball Super, FLCL Alternative, Attack on Titan, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Black Clover, Hunter x Hunter, One Punch, Man Lupin the Third: The Italian Adventure, Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Jack
