They can't cancel it again because of the backlash, but that doesn't mean they intend to put forth a serious effort supporting it. This is why they do things like cancelling BewareTheBatman or failing to procure all ten episodes of Hellsing Ultimate.

[[WMG: ''Manga/FutureDiary'' or ''Anime/MichikoToHatchin'' will be added to the lineup in October]]
Both of these shows come out (at the time of this edit) in a couple of days. ''Anime/TheBigO'' ends its run in October (specifically on the 26th). Assuming that they don't keep ''The Big O'' on for a second run, ''Anime/IGPXImmortalGrandPrix'' will be moved to 3:30 AM so that either ''Manga/FutureDiary'' or ''Anime/MichikoToHatchin'' can premiere at 2:30 AM (or 2:00 AM, if they decide to move ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'' as well). This guess is for two reasons...

*** You're right, I can't say the same thing for either of those shows... neither can I say the same for ''Manga/DeadmanWonderland'' (which was originally a ''ratings bomb'' in Japan, by the way), ''Anime/CasshernSins'', ''Anime/{{Samurai 7}}'', or ''Anime/TenchiMuyoGXP''. Yet, Toonami still decided to air those shows.

Why not? As noted in one of the above WMGs, they are aware of the franchise (surely some of the higher ups know about it), plus, aside from it being not animated, it would fit right in with the other action shows.

** Indeed, until we get close to the date in question, it's only speculation. But HOO BOY will this effect be doubled in 2023 when they also lose Bob's Burgers, where Original Content and Anime will be almost ALL the content they will have left, with the possible exception of American Dad (Not sure about if they get to keep that or not.) and Final Space. Gonna have quite a few more slots to fill then too.

[[WMG: Toonami will get their timeslot extended, either by a few slots, or even to more days, after Adult Swim Loses Family Guy in 2021.]]
A major timeslot filler on all days for Adult Swim is Family Guy, but they are slated to lose Family guy in 2021.
They are gonna have ALOT of empty slots to fill due to their overreliance on Family Guy, this will likely lead to several shows being brought back (Indeed, 12 oz. Mouse of all things is being brought back for a new season.) and Toonami being extended just to fill the empty slots.
If there is a particularly large number of slots to fill (Which is somewhat likely, Family Guy was a good percentage of their overall airings in any given week.), they might even Expand Toonami to more day much like it did in the days of old on Cartoon Network.

Pacific Rim is a love letter (or as Creator/GuillermoDelToro puts it, a beautiful poem) to Kaiju films and giant robots... the latter of which Toonami has a thing for. Also, we've seen promotions for Disney/WreckItRalph (Toonami made a game review for Fix-It Felix Jr.) and Film/{{Oblivion|2013}} (Toonami had a TIE that spanned across a week), so why not Film/PacificRim?

Regardless of whether or not it's HateDumb, ''Chima'' is considered a ReplacementScrappy for ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats2011'' (as well as ''WesternAnimation/{{Ninjago}}'', but that's beside the point) and is accused of both ripping off ''[=ThunderCats=]'' (it's gotten to the point where even ''the art director himself'' considers it a knock-off) and supposedly killing any chances of the 2011 show getting a second season. While he wouldn't outright insult the show (that would just make him look hypocritical), I can imagine TOM taking a few subtle [[TakeThat "jabs"]] at ''Chima'' for "replacing" ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats2011'', and possibly Creator/CartoonNetwork as well for making the show in the first place ([[DudeNotFunny especially after Warner Bros. decided to take away the airing rights for]] ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats2011''), maybe even resorting to the DamnedByFaintPraise method.

When the Absolution MK1 was destroyed one of TOMs other bodies survived. When TOM 2 was reduced to a head a signal was sent out activating the original TOM 3, who had crashed onto an alien world with the remains of the Absolution. He used the remains of the Absolution to make the base and his assistants. Then there was an accident and he was rebuilt into the TOM 4 we all saw.

** No, the reason that Toonami was canceled was that those Naruto fillers were the only new episodes of any series being aired at the time. Creator/FourKidsEntertainment had managed to get OnePiece canceled, and everything else was reruns. To use a baseball analogy, Toonami was expecting their ace pitcher to pitch a shutout and hit a home run every game because nobody else on the team could throw, bat or field.

* At the end of one of his Video Game reviews Tom remarked it would be cool if someone made a Toonami Video Game. It's true they are working on one and that was a tease.

*** Confirmed for ''Naruto Shippuden'', but the odds of them airing Sekirei are non-existant due to how much nudity that has - if ''Anime/LupinIIITheWomanCalledFujikoMine'' has too much, there's no way that Sekirei could air[[note]]for the record, this troper is a fan of Sekirei]]. Panty And Stocking seems like a better fit for Adult Swim in general, and I haven't heard anything about Beast Wars.

** Considering that the only other thing I could see them replacing Dragon Ball Z Kai The Final Chapters with (Attack on Titan S3) won't be available for at least 5 weeks after the end of The Final Chapters[[note]]it starts airing on July 22; The Final Chapters will finish either June 16 or June 23, depending on if they play episode 165[[/note]], Fairy Tail has a better chance now if Toonami wants to keep DBZ Kai's slot for long-running shounen anime, since doing so would allow them to air all of Fairy Tail in one go (especially since by the time they do get to the final season, it would already have been dubbed). Diamond is Unbreakable hasn't had a dub announced yet, so it's unlikely they'd jump straight into part 4 after finishing Stardust Crusaders, meaning it's likely Attack on Titan S3 will replace that (since, assuming they don't do another marathon, Stardust Crusaders will finish airing in early August).
