Starting on May 31, 2024, I spun off Toon Time Theater for an after school cartoon block in the form of T3 Express. This will be a dumping ground for U-PICK Nominees and programs that wouldn't "fit" the Saturday Morning Animation Cram Session due to having insufficient timeslots and sticking to the five-hour format other Saturday morning cartoon blocks used back then.
After discussing my live-stream plans with my mother, I have decided to keep all existing T3 programming and move T3 Express to Friday mornings to not interfere with my grocery shopping errand times. I would also have to miss out on Toonami Rewind, the programming block that T3 Express is competing against.
This Friday's lineup consisted of:
- Bartender (2006 series, E/I)
- SAILOR MOON (1992 series, E/I)
- MY ADVENTURES WITH SUPERMAN (Season 2)
- NARUTO (2002 series)
- Hell's Paradise (Jigokuraku)
- HI SCORE GIRL (Season 2)
- SMILING FRIENDS
- DRAGON BALL Z ABRIDGED (courtesy of TeamFourStar)
Upcoming programs include:
- DRAGON BALL Z KAI (Summer 2024)
- THE SLAYERS (Season 1, Summer 2024)
- Fruits Basket (2001 series, Autumn 2024)
I was able to draw all of the Toon Heads for this spin-off of a block, but I left SMILING FRIENDS as is since the Smiling Friends' corporate office building is perfect to represent the series. I was considering drawing Pim, Charlie, Glep or Mr.Boss, but I went for the Smiling Friends' corporate office building instead.
Not to mention the Illuminating Television "Now & Then" bumpers now use music Cartoon Network would have used in the mid-2000s to inform viewers what's currently playing and coming on after that. However, the curriculum board bumpers for the E/I (educational & informational) programming still uses the town gate music from Animal Crossing Wild World and City Folk.
Also, this marks the first time the Toon Heads will have objects sticking out of the circle. In this case, I made it so Sailor Moon's pigtails go past the circle visible.

Fun fact: The only menu bumper I used that day was the "Naruto Now, Then Hell's Paradise" since I had to do a favor for my mother at the time. (Man; when will they mind my business during live-streams like this?)
