Fena: Pirate Princess |
Arrr, matey! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, August 14!
I pick Adult Swim/Toonami shows a lot, don't I? Well, there aren't many Saturday options! I can only be so creative. But tonight's Top Pick is a Toonami original series (co-produced with CrunchyRoll), not an import. Fena: Princess Pirate (Adult Swim, midnight) follows an 18th century orphan who sets out to find her true identity after spending her childhood in captivity. Get to know the characters here.
Elsewhere, Dylan pulls a heist, Frank Gorshin wants to destroy New Chicago, Galapagos is Untamed, Reelz opens the door on Jim Morrison's life, Decades finds a Guardian, and the Half-Demons part ways.
