"Kill La Kill" Re-Runs To Replace "Attack on Titan" Re-Runs

Ryuko and Senketsu aren't done fighting clothing yet. Originally posted by Toonami Faithful on their Facebook page, Jason DeMarco has confirmed that Aniplex's Kill La Kill re-runs will replace Attack on Titan re-runs when that show finishes its run. This marks the first time that an Aniplex series has been given a second run on Toonami, outside of marathons. Before this announcement, the only Kill La Kill episodes to get a second run were Episodes 10-15, which were broadcast during Toonami's Kill La Kill Marathon this past Memorial Day. While not formally announced, the show is expected to return on October 3rd, as Attack on Titan will finish its run on September 26th.

While it's certainly a surprising, yet welcome choice (considering it managed to hit over 1 million total views throughout most of its run), in a way it's not so surprising, as Aniplex has allowed Toonami to keep streaming rights to all of its programs that have run on Toonami (with the exception of the original Sword Art Online). This could possibly mean that Aniplex has allowed Toonami to keep broadcasting rights for the show for a long period of time or its allowing Toonami to run the show again for a low price.
