Fun Fact Fena: Pirate Princess's rerun also only made it 5 episodes before getting pulled, and ironically it was obstructed by Blade Runner: Black Lotus marathons.

Apparently, Toonami just confirmed it doesn't need 'em:

My guess is that they're trying to run out the rerun with Lupin the 3rd to air the Made In Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul 2020 movie from 1-3:30 AM on October 22nd (followed by PRIMAL #11 or whatever), then let Housing Complex C take over October 29th, followed by the premiere of MiA S2 at 1 AM on November 5th, the end of Daylight Savings Time, when [as] gets an extra hour. (HCC would be at 3 AM and PRIMAL at 3:30 AM that night after an hour of specials at the 2nd 2 AM, or an obscure movie would air at the 2nd 2 AM and the reruns would be pushed to November 12th.) Hey Sketch, great minds think alike!

"On Adult Swim, the line-up performed as follows: PRIMAL up 0.01 to 0.10/236K, LUPIN THE 3RD up 0.01 to 0.07, YASHAHIME steady at 0.06, ONE PIECE at a steady 0.06/0.06, NARUTO up 0.01 to 0.05, BLADE RUNNER: BLACK LOTUS steady at 0.03/83K, and MADE IN ABYSS up 0.01 to 0.04/95K. " Wow, this result makes Black Lotus look like even MORE of a dud. Rebound for Made in Abyss, as it leaves Orth and gets interesting! Also interesting: College Football belittled hated Toonami rival Live PD's Reelz Reincarnation feeble, as it checked in at #15 18-49 with less than a million viewers. Take THAT, "On Patrol!"

Finally caught up on this episode last night, on a TUESDAY! And as of this morning about 7:45 my on-screen guide STILL has the line-up from April-ish with Shenmue, AOT, and Ass Class! I wanna set the Batman movies to record!!

We've got some catching up to do! Last Saturday, 9/3: "On Adult Swim, the line-up performed as follows: PRIMAL down 0.01 to 0.09/271K, LUPIN THE 3RD steady at 0.06, YASHAHIME down 0.02 to 0.06, ONE PIECE at 0.06/0.06 compared to last week’s 0.06/0.05, NARUTO steady at 0.04, BLADE RUNNER: BLACK LOTUS steady at 0.03/92K, and MADE IN ABYSS steady at 0.03/72K." And then this Thursday (9/8), PRIMAL actually notched its highest total viewers number yet of the season, cracking 300K: https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-thursday-9-8-2022-top-150-cable-originals-network-finals.html This past Saturday (9/10), Toonami didn't do too hot relative to all the other cable originals: https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-saturday-9-10-2022-top-150-cable-originals-network-finals.html Not posting the grid because NO Toonami shows made it. Lupin actually led the charge, checking in at #64 with a 0.07 in Adults 18-49, which actually improved upon last week slightly. Naruto Shippuden also notched up. Yashahime and the One Pieces (hey, that would make a great band name!) held steady. All shows were also down considerably in total viewers, but Shippuden did hold to 6 digits. Last but certainly not least, Rick & Morty kept kicking ass, placing 3rd in Adults 18-34 on Sunday: https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-sunday-9-11-2022-top-150-cable-originals-network-finals.html

You were kinda right: https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-saturday-9-10-2022-top-150-cable-originals-network-finals.html Nothing in Top 50! And this week Spectrum better get its head out of its butt so I can record the Batman movies!

Very cool!

Episode 5: Incinerator Watching the West Coast feed right now. Many little details I had forgotten, like how Riko's hair is well placed after the blast to barely cover her beestings!

The dark web. Somewhere even Lupin probably shouldn't be!

"All Zipped UP And Ready For Action!?" DRY HUMPING ALERT!!!

Yep! Oh well; ON to Lupin!

Yep!

Aaaaaaah!!!

So let's see what Takechiyo requests...

You know me too well...

Hey, we have a new promo! 1:30 AM tomorrow night (9/10-11)!

Takechiyo's Request will be answered? 12:30 AM Tonight (9/10-11)! Only Toonami!!

The Penultimate Episode of Season 2! Midnight tomorrow night (9/10-11), on TOONAMI!!

This effectively extends Lupin Part 6's conclusion to October 15th. One more interruption would bring it up to October 22nd. One of the later episodes actually mentions "Witch" in the title so good on them that they're airing it in mid-October. I really want to see them air the Made in Abyss 2020 movie at some point but questions abound as to how they would go about that. October 29th, maybe, followed by a full rerun of Housing Complex C? Or perhaps even September 24th at Midnight before Housing Complex C airs the following week? Make it a night in Abyss by blowing off part of the rerun that will be up to Episode 6 after tomorrow night? I'm thinking Lupin gets replaced by Season 2 of MiA, but maybe not if the 3:30 AM rerun is still ongoing, as it looks like it most likely will be until mid-November. Gundam: Witch From Mercury seems like a more likely candidate for the 1 AM timeslot after Lupin ends at this point, unless they just cut off the rerun in mid-stream, which would be perfectly fine after airing the movie.

You posted this an hour ago? Don't know why the hell I didn't see it. I made another thread. X-Post: Batman: Hush is fairly new, premiering at SDCC in 2019, then coming to video and HBO Max later that year. Obviously this will be its first time on Toonami. Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, is of course a stone-cold classic from 1993. This will be it's 5th time to grace The Better Cartoon Show, and it's first on [as]. This is a true rarity for anything on Toonami, shared only by Samurai Jack season 5 and a few early episodes of Attack On Titan. Dragon Ball Super came close if you include its [as] runs outside Toonami, but I believe the most spins any episode got on Toonami was 4. And we'll see if Rick & Morty: Samurai and Shogun Parts 1 & 2 are actually on Toonami or just [as]...

Battlebots and Gundam. Myth Busted.

Thursday's PRIMAL numbers were a 246K and a 0.09 in Adults 18-49... https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-thursday-9-1-2022-top-150-cable-originals-network-finals.html ...but could Saturday beat that? Well... https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-saturday-9-3-2022-top-150-cable-originals-network-finals.html Doesn't look like it. Like last week, only Yashahime made the Top 50, and though everything else didn't drop THAT far from there, Naruto took a nosedive. Stayed above 100K though...

Tonight it's time to say goodbye to Orth and hello to the First Layer of the Abyss!
