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!!

Couldn't even stay up to see his Titan form meet its unfortunate end again. 😥

2 AM! FILLER HELL! ONLY TOONAMI!!

Set Sail!!!! You can join the fight at 1:30 indeed, but if you do, you're HALF AN HOUR LATE to the party!! Tomorrow night (6/18-19/22) we party like it's 2013...on Toonami!!

The capers continue tomorrow night (6/18-19/22) an hour earlier, as Lupin steals 12:30 AM! ONLY TOONAMI!!

"The Adult Swim line-up performed as follows: PRIMAL steady at 0.17/355K, ASSASSINATION CLASSROOM steady at 0.13, LUPIN THE 3RD down 0.03 to 0.08, ONE PIECE at 0.09/0.08 compared to last week’s 0.11/0.09, NARUTO down a tick to 0.07, SHENMUE down 0.03 to 0.05/116K, and ATTACK ON TITAN down 0.04 to 0.03/104K." PRIMAL took a tiny step up, cracking 350K, and Ass Class followed suit but everything else dropped off quite a bit. At least AOT stayed over 100K.

I have an odd theory about this one: what if the plan is to run 1-6 on FRIDAY from 12-3 AM and then finish the marathon with 7-13 during Toonami? That would be neat to see!

There's a 99% chance this will be worse than Season 2...

Ass Class just barely misses the 300K+ Club with its epilogous final episode: https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-saturday-6-11-2022-top-150-cable-originals-network-finals.html Unfortunately, Lupin fell HARD after that, and then One Piece recovered but not by much. Only Shippuden missed the Top 50, checking in at #52 with 163K viewers and a 0.07 in Adults 18-49.

Rick & Morty led the charge among originals on Saturday, June 4th, but PRIMAL wasn't that far behind: http://www.ratingsryan.com/2022/06/top-200-cable-reruns-week-ending-june-5.html?m=1
