Jason DeMarco had a little q and a on Reddit and here is the run down.
- Bleach will re-run.
- FLCL will not.
- Whatever airs at 2:30 will not be a premiere, the schedule will be released soon.
- The month of movies will not feature any of Miyazaki's work. Plans are pretty far along. The release of the schedule is tentatively scheduled for 'soon-ish'.
- Intruder 2 will be a multi-week event. No trailer's or teasers 'till next year.
- The comic is still in production, and will be held until Intruder 2.
- Nothing new with the Clydes for the rest of the year. Maybe next year.
- They'd like to air more short-run shows a la Hellsing, but not to the extent of such shows taking up most of the block. They'd also like more dark shows like BL & HU. (2)
- The network is happy with Toonami's ratings.
- Why AOT is re-rerunning at 11:30.
- Re-running newer shows is necessary at this time.
- They hope to bring Hellsing 9 & 10 to Toonami ASAP.
- They're not messing with DBZ Kai's soundtrack.

- Big O is likely to repeat after finishing its current run.

- The Toonami budget resets in January.
- Regarding acquisitions, requests to air shows on the block come from both Toonami, and from distribu...
- The odds of another world premiere are small.
- Stretching shows isn't really in their control. Kai is a special case.
- They're working on getting Bebop in HD.
- Toonami has little access to Western animation.
