Toonami Month of Movies: December 2013

The Toonami Month of Movies was a month long movie marathon in which one movie was shown each week from December 7, 2013 to December 28, 2013. The final week of the marathon also featured a special Cowboy Bebop marathon. During two of the movies (Akira & Trigun), a number of animated music videos were aired as time fillers during commercial breaks, similar to a tradition the block used to have while still on Cartoon Network.

During the Month of Movies, Toonami also held a Toonami T-Shirt Giveaway. Fans could enter to win one of the three different Toonami t-shirts each of the four weeks (Week 1 & Week 4 were the same shirt design).

Programming

 * Akira
 * Summer Wars
 * Fullmetal Alchemist: The Movie - Conqueror of Shamballa
 * Trigun: Badlands Rumble

Schedule
During the first three weeks of the Month of Movies, the first 2.5-3 hours (depending on the week), of the normal lineup were pre-empted. So Bleach, Naruto, One Piece, Soul Eater, and Sword Art Online were pre-empted each week, while FLCL was pre-empted only the first week.
