“The missing piece…is her. It’s everything she’s been through. Everything she’s done, all expressed in a singular moment.”
– Scouter, Invincible Fight Girl (Ep. 10)
The Toonami Trending Rundown for the month of December 2024. The better cartoon show brought an end to 2024 by showcasing the second half of Invincible Fight Girl’s first season, among other great moments.
For the night of December 14, #Toonami trended in the USA on Twitter alongside Invincible Fight Girl, Mashle, and Blue Exorcist. A week later on the 21st, #Toonami trended in the USA alongside Invincible Fight Girl for its season finale. Meanwhile for the final Toonami Rewind on December 27, fans were able to send off the throwback block with a bang as #ToonamiRewind trended in the US.
Invincible Fight Girl’s creators are hoping to see a continuation of the show, though Cartoon Network has neither confirmed or denied if the series will be renewed or will be canceled. Hopefully a second season will be the case, but all we can do for now is to keep supporting the show, its creators, and Toonami as a whole and checking out reruns on Max and Adult Swim/Toonami and on on-demand, official digital downloads, and physical media when and if that becomes available.
The feature for December 28 included a new Toonami AMV titled “Power Up.” You can check it out below.
Kodansha has revealed a new trailer and new information for the upcoming third season of Fire Force. Season 3 will be split into two cours, the first premiering in Japan and on Crunchyroll on April 2025, while the second premieres in January 2026.
Studio MAPPA also released some new information regarding Lazarus, including a key visual and the theme music for Shinichiro Watanabe’s newest series. The opening theme is titled Vortex by Kamasi Wasahington, while the ending theme is Lazarus by The Boo Radleys. The Japanese cast was also revealed, starring:
- Mamoru Miyano as Axel
- Makoto Furukawa as Doug
- Maaya Uchida as Christine
- Yūma Uchida as Leland
- Manaka Iwami as Eleina
- Megumi Hayashibara as Hersch
- Akio Ōtsuka as Abel
- Kōichi Yamadera as Skinner
Adult Swim has announced that the series would be coming to Toonami this April 2025.
Unfortunately, as 2024 comes to a close, Adult Swim has decided to pull the plug on Toonami Rewind as the Friday afternoon throwback lineup will be retired come January, with said timeslots being given back to Checkered Past. No official reason was given why Toonami Rewind was canceled. Alongside potential issues with Toonami bringing in additional programming for Rewind, it is likely that Adult Swim is seeing a change in strategy with the network inking a deal with Disney to bring Family Guy back to the late-night programming block for the first time since 2021. It’s not all lost, however, as the Rewind lineup would be “merged back” into the Saturday night Toonami lineup, with Naruto starting over from the beginning starting January 11th, while Sailor Moon will return on January 25th.
Until next time, we wish you all a Happy New Year, congratulations to the Los Angeles Galaxy for winning the MLS Cup and here’s to 2025.
