It's easy to look at the block now under Austin's direction and say it feels kinda like Ani-Monday on a Saturday, when the main shows would take breaks for movies for no other apparent reason, like for example how Strait Jacket made Gurren Lagann take a break with no real warning on 10/20/2008, but this weekend IS actually kind of a holiday weekend: it's the last weekend of Mardi Gras. It makes sense for a block that's on at midnight on a Saturday night to take breaks in most of its regular shows then, and it isn't a TOTAL break because we still get MHA Season 6. True, the following week makes less sense, but the arguably better DC movie plays on that day, so that helps. Ballmastrz: Rubicon getting a rerun at 12:30 is a questionable decision though. I would have put it after the movie, especially since Season 2 never finished its 2020 2AM Toonami run. Hell, we could have had that and THEN Rubicon at 2:45, expanding Toonami to 3:15 for all I care.

It's actually a 41% as of today. Still rotten, but not 70%. BTW, here are Rotten Tomatoes scores for the current block and recent alumni: My Hero Academia - 100% 🍅 Made In Abyss (Journey's Dawn) - 88% 🍅 YashaHime - N/A 🤷‍♂️ One Piece - N/A 🤷‍♂️ Naruto Shippuden (Latest Movie) 63% 🍿 PRIMAL - 96% 🍿

Well, Toonami's ratings misery continues in the 2nd week of February... https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-saturday-2-11-2023-top-150-cable-originals-network-finals.html No Toonami shows made the Top 50, which isn't that strange and in fact happened, but what IS bizarre is that One Piece won the night of Toonami with a 0.08 in 18-49, and all the other shows only got a 0.07:

Hopefully Toonami will get it? We may have missed out on GWitch for now, but Dynazenon would make a decent substitute!

Episode 14: The Red Mist Caveman on Viking brutality!

Sometimes when we win, we lose?

She's home!! ...in a mummified Tsuki No Me pod!

So I guess we get ANOTHER cliffhanger? Nope, she blasted it off-screen?

This never really happened before like mid-2022.

I don't get what's going on with the promos anymore. They seem to air Topicals right after the shows, but did you know we were supposed to get an Injustice promo and a new music video and NEITHER actually aired!? They DID upload them to Facebook though.

Dammit, just put some sesame seeds on it already, asshole!

I think it's a 2-parter...

Showtime! It's Naruto Characters hilariously out of character theater!!

I know, right? Almost like it's a pleasant surprise when this show DOES Play on Toonami these days! Luffy did some really stupid stuff, and now it's over.

"And Here We Go..." IN MARCH!

I'd ask "what the hell is Luffy doing?", but somehow his unpredictability has ironically failed to surprise me!

Knowing THIS show, I thought they might have to go through every letter of the alphabet until they GOT to R. Thank God THAT'S not the case!

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/made-in-abyss-the-golden-city-of-the-scorching-sun/episode-12/.190358 How about THAT! Rating: 5 stars! I just hope people actually WATCHED it on Toonami tonight! Yashahime trended last week but didn't do so great in the ratings. Made In Abyss is the #6 trend in the nation right now, so hopefully it will do better. Yashahime was #8 last week...

Hopefully Toonami will get a second run someday...

So I guess Faputa is gonna blow them off?

Majikaja saved and rescued Faputa!

Reg rescued Faputa!? What the heck!?

She's still alive, but she hollowfied just like MItty. DAMN!

Damn, I never realized Machikaja was SO BIG!!

Back to present time, and Faputa is kicking ass!
