  1. I guess Unicorn Warriors Eternal is chopped liver, then? It may not be a Toonami exclusive, but it's the best damn show on [as] right now, but of course that isn't saying much. Oh wait, that was posted on 5/1. It would be a full 3 days until we got UWE.
  2. Yeah, sorry--I fell asleep. Just watched it again tonight at a more watchable time, and I gotta say it was a great episode! Good to see Caesar finally get his ass kicked, but I fear Brownbeard may not be able to survive that shooting! Then again, his skin is as tough as an alligator!
  3. I could see a future where AI is used to augment animation production rather than outright replace human artists, sort of a hybrid approach where the AI is used for "in-between animation" that greatly speeds up production times even to the point of making working as an animator feel less like slave labor. But that's just me being naïvely optimistic about AI, I guess...
  4. Sometimes I forget we DO actually have a source for rerun ratings even though ShowBuzz ain't providing them anymore, so let's take a look back and see if MHA and/or Primal made it these last 3 weeks: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Pp2JTXw6GBszksBUaWE-qM9O0B-azpC97ShLElWMBoU/pubhtml?headers=false# I'm not surprised MHA Season 6's 3rd-to-last episode encore at Midnight on 4/15/23 didn't make the Top 200 for the week. The cutoff was 0.113 in 18-49 and the 12:30 premiere episode only managed a 0.08. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Pp2JTXw6GBszksBUaWE-qM9O0B-azpC97ShLElWMBoU/pubhtml?headers=false# Similarly, the lead-in to a 0.07 MHA Season 6 Finale on 4/22/23 didn't stand a chance against that week's Top 200, as its cut-off was 0.110. Something interesting DID happen on 4/29/2023 though: https://www.spoilertv.com/2023/03/top-200-cable-reruns-week-ending-26th_01243089880.html Primal missed the boat, but the episode of American Dad that led-into it DID make the Top 200. Were viewers somehow expecting something new and were then sorely disappointed, or do they just like American Dad that much more than Toonami? It seems a pretty strong rebuke of ANOTHER rerun of Season 2 of Primal when AD scored a 0.123 with 18-49 at 11:30 but Primal couldn't even muster a 0.113. The biggest question on my mind, however, is "will Unicorn Warriors Eternal threepeats on Toonami be able to turn the tide?" And will the amply exposed show be able to hit the Weekly Top 200 Reruns in their pre-prime time Friday Night and ACME Sunday Night timeslots?
  5. That's not good. Come on, Toonami, at least wait until after you replay the episodes!
  6. I will say it's kinda welcome because we haven't had a good steampunk show on Toonami in a while!
  7. Oh wow, Grey Delisle plays the fox woman! I didn't catch that before!
  8. Hopefully this will be a little better than last week’s Heartbreakers! Good GOD!!
  9. Unicorn Warriors Eternal did pretty good: https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-thursday-5-4-2023-top-150-cable-originals-network-finals.html Well over 100K 18-49, and I believe that's the benchmark for success these days. Beat everything that isn't sports or Jersey Shore. Beat the crap out of step-sister network Discovery's BattleBots in that demo for sure!
  10. Saw Episode 2 just now, well, sort of. Pretty cool, but nothing we haven't seen before!
  11. Except that this will apparently be "Attack on Titan: The Next-To-Last One Forever and Ever (For Real This Time) (We Fucking Mean It)!!" 🤣
  12. ...that's absurd. Everyone thought CGI would completely replace hand-drawn animation and it didn't. AI animation will be the same way.
  13. Color me surprised! https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-saturday-4-29-2023-top-150-cable-originals-network-finals.html Yep, I actually DO get to post the grid, since OP and N:S managed to escape from the prehistoric run-to-near-extinction abyss that was the midnight hour of Primal, and it seems reairing the same episode people saw just 23 hours prior at 12:30 didn't do Food Wars! any favors, as it checked in at #55 with a mere 0.06 in 18-49 and 140K total viewers. An interesting note: comparing the #41 slotted USFL game (which I attended in person) on this chart and in the companion Skedball chart below... https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/skedball-weekly-sports-tv-ratings-4-24-4-30-2023.html ...we know that a 0.08 in 18-49 translates to approximately 100K viewers in that demographic. This means OP and N:S still got 80-85 thousand viewers 18-49 even in these dark times.
  14. Wow. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/food-wars-shokugeki-no-soma-the-fifth-plate/episode-7/.162974 Good question! Not giving up on the show, because it's pretty much the ONLY non-long runner premiering on Cable TV these days! For those still curious, 2.5 stars.
