Adult Swim has been certainly sending mixed messages on its support of Toonami and anime in general. On one hand, the network has recently shortened the block and there have been no signs of the only true original series Space Dandy getting a third season order. On the other, Jason DeMarco recently made mention that starting last Saturday Night @ 8 pm ET/PT, Adult Swim proper has begun airing re-runs of Dragon Ball Z: Kai.

Jason DeMarco recently Tweeted that re-runs of Dragon Ball Z: Kai will happen on Saturday Nights @ 8pm ET/PT moving forward with ‘new’ episodes still airing @ Midnight ET/PT only on Toonami.

This time slot change could be a great way to bring more viewership to the clearly struggling anime block. Doing so could open the doors to more original content and fewer reruns.
