Putin – khuylo! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, March 19!
Our top pick tonight is another — I know — anime series, Naruto: Shippuden (Adult Swim, 3 a.m.). The show is a sequel to Naruto, which follows adventures of the ninja teenager Naruto Uzumaki and his allies, and has been airing as part of Toonami since 2014. Last May, with episode #339, episodes are now making their American TV debut — previous episodes aired on Disney XD and Neon Alley years earlier. While the Japanese show concluded in 2017, Toonami still has 119 episodes to air after tonight's.
Elsewhere, a Chocolatarian is crowned, a Classroom does drama, Murdoch is derailed, OWN says yes really fast, the girl on the bot go to the Abyss' fourth layer, the walls are gone in the Attack, and Decades celebrates TV sequels that were movies.
