Toon Time Theater 'Now & Then' Menu Bumpers for 100824 (Mostly Unused)
0ONE PIECE was pre-empted for one more airing of X-MEN and two episode premieres of PUELLA MAGI MADOKA MAGICA since the latter won the 6th U-PICK poll. Next weekend, the 2024 Japanese anime adaptation of Rick And Morty joins the Saturday Morning Animation Cram Session (More One Night in Japan due to the same block being a late-night anime block for Japanese viewers that crave for more Saturday anime), with ONE PIECE also returning. X-MEN will move to T3 Express starting August 16, 2024, replacing MY ADVENTURES WITH SUPERMAN.
If you were wondering why my voice sounds happier, this is because I was unable to carry over my pre-existing Toon Time Theater data to the laptop since my KVM broke at the time, and my USB HDD wouldn't work with my laptop. As a result, I had to re-record some lines in a different tone. I was going to change my tone entirely in preparation for a possible new T3 arc next year, but I made my decision to use a happier tone to my voice as soon as possible now that I got my anime block(s) situated for six months since the Emergency Occurrence Filler Arc even happened, and I am snapping out of my depression. I introduced the "Now & Then" bumpers as early as that filler arc, but I had a serious tone to my voice considering how screwed-up my life was back then. Also, with the Tanabata celebrations being on their way out, I decided to change the block's attitude to something happier and more upbeat considering how many programs are joining. Attack on Titan: Junior High? Moriarty the Patriot? X-MEN on T3 Express? SONIC X? PUELLA MAGI MADOKA MAGICA? A new season of HAIKYU? This is exhilarating. Get excited!
