“You either are a wrestler or you aren’t. No one can give you permission. Everyone knows that.”
– Aunt P / Quesa Poblana, Invincible Fight Girl (Ep. 01)
The Toonami Trending Rundown for November 2024. It was a month of big premieres, as viewers were treated to the World Premiere of Invincible Fight Girl, the return of Blue Exorcist to Toonami for the first time in a decade, and the U.S. television premiere of Mashle: Magic and Muscles.
For the social media buzz on the nights of Toonami proper, #Toonami trended in the USA on Twitter on November 9, 23 and 30th, as well as on Tumblr on November 23. Invincible Fight Girl trended in the US during all five weeks of the month, and Mashle also trended on all weeks save for the 2nd (as the latter show would make its debut a week later due to the former show having a doubleheader for its premiere.) As for Toonami Rewind, #ToonamiRewind and Sailor Moon would trend in the US during both the broadcasts of November 8 and 22nd.
The feature for November 16 was a new Toonami ID titled “Vended.” You can check it out below:
And on November 23, Toonami released a Game Review of Neva by Nomada Studios. It received an 8/10 score.
Anime was well represented at the 97th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, as floats of both Goku and Luffy once again took to the streets of New York City on Thanksgiving.

Toho Animation has revealed a new trailer and key visual for Dr. Stone: Science Future, the fourth and final season of the series. The first cour of the new season is scheduled to premiere in Japan and on Crunchyroll in January 2025.
David Wald, the voice of Hannes in Attack on Titan, Tetsutetsu in My Hero Academia, among others, has announced that he will no longer be reprising his roles in any Crunchyroll productions in the future thanks to some abusive behavior from his now former employer. According to David, Funimation/Crunchyroll employees for the past five years have been opening up any fan mail that was sent to him through them, threw away said letters, and passed out any included items between staff members. Which is a violation of federal law (18 U.S. Code § 1702 – Obstruction of correspondence). While Crunchyroll execs have stated that they are investigating the situation, they have yet to update at this time, as the situation may or may not be under litigation.
David Wald on X (formerly Twitter): “Dear friends: if you sent me anything care of Funimation or Crunchyroll in the last 5 years, I apologize, I didn’t get it. I learned yesterday that @Crunchyroll opened my private mail, threw away your letters, and passed out any included items to their staff. / X”

If you’ve read my OP-ED, The 2020’s Anime and Streaming Service Bubble Burst, this behavior hasn’t been atypical for Crunchyroll and Funimation since being bought and merged by Sony, as David joins the likes of Kyle McCarley, Laura Post, Marin M. Miller, Ben Diskin, all of Toonami, among many other talents and industry figures, that Crunchyroll has burned bridges with since their merger.
David Wald on X (formerly Twitter): “Friends, I am not returning to #Gajeel in #FairyTail. I am not returning to the @Crunchyroll studio. Their abuses are FAR too numerous to list here. But soon, I will tell you all of them, and I will do that here:https://t.co/aopGIjHTlnStay tuned. / X”

Sony won’t be getting away from the monopoly allegations any time soon, as Reuters reported during the month that they have been in talks to acquire media conglomerate Kadokawa for their anime and video game assets. However, on December 19, Sony have since toned it down (for now at least) to a “strategic capital and business alliance” by acquiring a 10% stake in Kadokawa and will collaborate on various future projects.
Finally, In the Sword Art Online universe, November 7th, 2024 is the exact day when Kirito, Asuna, and the players of SAO would clear the world of Aincrad. To commemorate the occasion, Aniplex and Kadokawa has released this key visual from the events of Episode 14.
Not much else to say other than until next time, stay golden as always.
