The major news is that a premiere date for the long awaited Intruder 2 TIE (Total Immersion Event) has finally been announced. The first episode will debut on November 7th at Midnight ET/PT (right at the beginning of the block before that night's Dragon Ball Z Kai). The premiere date is a slight surprise, as it was originally announced at Momocon that Intruder 2 would debut sometime in October. Also, Intruder 2 will last for 7 weeks, rather than 5 weeks as originally stated at the Toonami panel at Momocon.
Second, the Toonami comic being made as a tie-in for Intruder 2 also has a release date. The comic will debut on Toonami.com on November 7th, the same day Intruder 2 debuts itself. The comic will be downloadable for offline viewing, which is good news for those who collect Toonami content.
In addition to the release dates of Intruder 2 and the Toonami comic, the official Toonami app now has a release date as well. The app will be released on November 2nd and will be available completely free of charge. While it wasn't announced what platforms the app would be available on, considering the official Adult Swim app is available on iOS and Android systems, it can be assumed that the Toonami app will also be available on both platforms as well.
Along with the other announcements, the Toonami panel at Dragon Con has also announced a premiere date for the latest Toonami series Parasyte -the maxim-. The series will debut on October 3rd, replacing Sword Art Online II. However, the series will be airing at 1am ET/PT, so the series will really be going into Michiko and Hatchin's current time slot, with that show moving down to 1:30am ET/PT.
Other news updates from outside of Dragon Con include two more show marathons (airing November 28th and December 19th; shows TBD), and Toonami: Pre-Flight episodes are now being put up on Adult Swim's official website (only the two latest episodes will be on Adult Swim's website however, according to Toonami Faithful).
