Umm, I wouldn't call [as] getting 6 PM "nothing".

This announcement leaves me scratching my head. He referred to [as] as an "animated block", on CN, which is supposed to be AN ANIMATED NETWORK!! Not only that, but apparently since [as] is a "block" and not its own network, that means Toonami is now a "block within a block!?" 😵‍💫🤔

I wouldn't be so sure of that. Toonami still did decently on 4/30 and 5/6 despite NBA Playoffs both nights, and if one of the teams can get to 4 wins early, 5/27 may not even be affected. American Dad is definitely doing the heavy lifting, though. It seems to provide a better lead-in to Toonami than Rick & Morty.

Alright, time to see how ratings were last week, starting with UWE's Thursday premiere: https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-thursday-5-11-2023-top-150-cable-originals-network-finals.html Not too bad, I guess. Beat Battlebots, but NBA crushes everything! As for Saturday, hey, not too shabby!! https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-saturday-5-13-2023-top-150-cable-originals-network-finals.html Good on ya, Food Wars!, for making the Top 20, and One Piece and Shippuden both also made the Top 30, which is quite uncommon. I am confident we'll see the Midnight Hour place in the Weekly Top 200 Reruns provided by SpoilerTV when that chart comes out. On that note, here's the week before last's Reruns Top 200 (5/1-5/7): https://www.spoilertv.com/2023/03/top-200-cable-reruns-week-ending-26th_01243089880.html Only the first UWE on Toonami made it, checking in at #172 with a 0.105 in 18-49 and 208K total viewers. Don't know if that's such a victory when the American Dad hour that led into it claimed #21 and #22 with an average of 0.1595 in 18-49 and 283,500 total viewers, and this past weekend's lineup was fueled by 2 solid hours of Big Dad Energy...

You really think Crunchytroll is seeing a cent of that?

Where's your proof of that?

Yeah, sorry you went through that! My condolences indeed!

Didn't he say that 3 months ago though? A lot can change in 3 months!

Didn't Yellow also create Blue Exorcist?

Tonight's 2nd episode: "Earl Grey Bandits," LMAO!!

I had forgotten that she did that again! Shame on you if you fool me once, shame on me if you fool me Twice!

Getting back to canon soon?

What the HELL!?

It's PUPPET-CLOBBERIN' TIME!!

Now back to Sasori?

Jiraiya vs. the 9 Tailed Fox, as this is the 2nd one we see in Toonami tonight!

Almost time for the next episode!

Damn, he cut the S.A.D. too!!

Damn, Law! Just straight-up one-shotted him!

Turned out Smoker was just blowing smoke so Law could get his heart back!

The Smoker vs. Vergo fight has been ridiculously epic indeed!

Tashigi the back-seat driver!

Caesar Clown's face looks ugly!

Set Sail!! Wow, they cut the intro!
