If you're lucky enough to have Cable TV, thank your lucky stars and tune in!! 12:30 AM tomorrow night, ONLY TOONAMI!!

I kinda wish they had rerun THAT for Halloween 2020 instead of TPN Season 1.

Primal did better this week, but Annie's Encino Woman act bombed in AOT: "The Adult Swim line-up performed as follows: PRIMAL up 0.02 to 0.12/264K, LUPIN THE 3RD up 0.02 to 0.09, ONE PIECE at 0.08/0.06 compared to last week’s 0.05/0.05, NARUTO at 0.05/0.05 compared to last week’s 0.04/0.04, SHENMUE steady at 0.04/103K, and ATTACK ON TITAN down 0.01 to 0.04/74K."

Well, Lupin at least did better than Primal did last week: https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-saturday-6-25-2022-top-150-cable-originals-network-finals.html Oddly enough, only the 1 AM One Piece made the Top 50. The 1:30 AM OP took a nosedive!

If, when Attack On Titan and Shenmue both end their respective reruns, could Attack On Titan come back from the beginning? Is that really the future of Toonami in 2nd Half 2022!?

Wow, that episode was WILD!! ...but equally confusing! https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/lupin-the-3rd-part-6/episode-10/.180759 Interesting. Yeah, I'm not sure what the heck was going on here, even if it happened in style!

What the hell!? Lupin is inducing nightmares!?

LMAO!!

Welp, Jigen doesn't want any part of this one!!

Ohhh, that's Lupin!!

Almost time for Darwin's Bird! ...and guess we'll find out what that means soon!

Yeah, so true. It pretty much just got bit by the wrong little dino!

Hell of a nightmare!!

Judging from the episode title, it's just meant to be a plague. I guess the dead can't be infected.

Oddly enough, it seems those bites from the infected brontosaur did not turn the others into zombies. It just killed them.

Well, maybe this is how the dinosaurs REALLY went extinct! Zombie Plague!!

Episode 7: Plague of Madness Damn, that shit acted quickly!!

Set sail! Join the fight at 1 AM Tonight! Only TOONAMI!!

Well, let's all just watch some Lupin! 12:30 tomorrow night (6/25) ONLY TOONAMI!!

According to Swimpedia, it was just a normal Saturday for Toonami's lead-in: 8:00/5:00 King of the Hill: Life: A Loser's Manual 8:30/5:30 King of the Hill: Dia-bill-ic Shock 9:00/4:00 Futurama: Decision 3012 9:30/4:30 Futurama: The Thief of Baghead 10:00 American Dad!: Haylias 10:30 American Dad!: The 42-Year-Old Virgin 11:00 American Dad!: Surro-Gate 11:30 Rick and Morty: Gotron Jerrysis Rickvangelion 12:00 Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal: Scent of Prey https://sites.google.com/site/swimpediaiscoming/adult-swim-schedules/2022 It's weird--it's like the effect of losing Family Guy last year, but the only thing we actually lost was Ass Class! I guess we'll have to see if this was just a "bad night" or if this trend continues...

Well folks, PRIMAL did indeed have a weak night, and BOY did it EVER: "The Adult Swim line-up performed as follows: PRIMAL down 0.07 to 0.10/183K, LUPIN THE 3RD down 0.01 to 0.07, ONE PIECE at 0.05/0.05 compared to last week’s 0.09/0.08, NARUTO at 0.04/0.04 compared to last week’s 0.07, SHENMUE down 0.01 to 0.04/90K, and ATTACK ON TITAN up 0.02 to 0.05/89K." I wonder what the hell happened? Was there some kind of weird "Juneteenth" lead-in? Also, at this point, the block "freshness" is as follows: Genndy Tartakovsky's PRIMAL - 2020 rerun Lupin The 3rd, Part 6 - 2021 One Piece x2 - 2012 Naruto Shippuden x2 - 2014 Shenmue - 2022 rerun Attack On Titan - 2022 rerun Well, it is what it is. I think we're almost at the point where Lupin effectively becomes a 2022 show so there's that.

Unfortunately, it looks like the second half of PRIMAL Season 1 may not do as well on Toonami as the first... https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-saturday-6-18-2022-top-150-cable-originals-network-finals.html Despite being absolute gold, that Lupin episode just couldn't match up to its predecessor Ass Class as viewership in that timeslot dropped by approximately half. And while One Piece missed the Top 50, it also managed to stay over 100K, but Shippuden did not, though the 2nd episode rebounded a bit. It will be interesting to see if the 3 AM hour continued that trend and managed a 6-figure viewership. However, we still don't know yet if PRIMAL also had a weak night, and we'll find out later!

Last week PRIMAL effectively got 3rd place for the night: http://www.ratingsryan.com/2022/06/top-200-cable-reruns-week-ending-june.html?m=1

FFS, did I really post that on the Trigun Stampede thread!? Well, I guess I deserve balls then!

Between this episode of Lupin and One Piece, it was PIRATE NIGHT on Toonami!! And the Sandman got me FAR too early, so I had to catch up later! https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/lupin-the-3rd-part-6/episode-9/.180534 An amazing, near perfect ride of an episode at 4.5 stars!! More like THIS, LUPIN!!
