Try To Challenge Me In 2025 If You Dare.
Hello, anime fans. I am Gabriel Ramos, DJ and broadcaster of Toon Time Theater. Sadly, I had to discontinue T3 Express and replace it with a Saturday late-night lineup. I realize my mother wants me to prep and cook dinner at 5 PM every day, and with Toonami Rewind being discontinued after December 27, I figured it's best to no longer live-stream on Friday afternoons. (Sorry Japanese viewers, but you will have to wait until Sunday afternoons for your easy weekend anime fix. At least your favorite cartoons will be live-streamed after Church mass and services.) Some of your favorite T3 Express shows will be mixed around the Saturday morning and the newly-introduced Saturday late-night lineups.
Also, I have overheard Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio announcing Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. and a sixth installment lately, and what better way to show interest in the series than to live-stream the 1995 animated series? 2025 marks the 30-year anniversary of the Virtua Fighter anime, so might as well live-stream it to honor the legacy of said series. It is official that Toon Time Theater will have Virtua Fighter in the lineup starting February 2025.
Other than that, here are the Saturday morning lineups for 2025, but you don't have to take my word for it.

Episodes are subject to change depending on the English dub's release.
I made Virtua Fighter an E/I program, since the program teaches viewers about real-world combat techniques, and their attributes. If you want to be a martial artist when you grow up, hopefully this program has you covered. Many other educational fighting anime exist, but I'll go with this one for now, considering the new (and upcoming) Virtua Fighter game releases along the way.
After several late-night marathon live-streams, I have decided that "More One Night" will finally happen for real, and it will be Toon Time Theater's Saturday late-night lineup. Unlike the Saturday Morning Animation Cram Session, I will choose programs that mostly fit the nu-Toonami vibes, and I will throw in programs that wouldn't work well with the Saturday morning audience. And as usual, I will start it off with more E/I programming. At least FCC isn't controlling my channel, so I am free to live-stream any amount of E/I programming per week, even if it's not the 3-hour standard enforced by FCC.
Here are the launch lineups for More One Night, but you don't have to take my word for it.
Dr.STONE: NEW WORLD Part 2 Marathon (E/I)
