Americans' obsession with the news hasn't died down yet, as Shenmue checks in at #59 before a HUGE drop for AOT, which actually got beat by Ass Class and Made in Abyss: https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-saturday-3-12-2022-top-150-cable-originals-network-finals.html Both One Pieces at 3 AM got under 100K. Ouch. Shippuden recovered at 4 AM.

One thing that I don't get about Toonami's treatment of this show is why they used 2 different bumper sets for it, as last week's was different, but it all tends to be cut from the Orth arc in the first 4 episodes. Hopefully next week for the Return, it gets a bumper set cut from the 10th episode that's used for the rest of the series. TIEs usually have new bumpers, so I have high hopes... As for the episode itself... https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/made-in-abyss/episode-9/.120857 Grade: A. One of the best of 2017 just keeps delivering for Toonami in 2022!

I'd say this show has done an above-average job of it! And just in case y'all were wondering: https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/36911/clear-explanation-of-karma-kuns-answer-to-the-final-math-problem-in-assassinati

Good for Marvel's What If. Probably a good call that Fena wasn't nominated, but it was better than most of that puke!

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/attack-on-titan-the-final-season-part-2/episode-80/.182383 Rating: 5 stars! 80 episodes later, AOT is as it has always been: both horrifying and sublime.

Oh yeah, if I remember correctly, Toonami averaged just under a million viewers across all timeslots in 2015! Man, that was the year!

Is she shoving him up her BUTT!? What the HELL!?!

Only Luffy would tell a lady she sucks! Most men wouldn't dare do such a thing!

Mt. Lady, fish-style!!

Here at last for the second episode of the pair!

After the thrilling conclusion of Cosmo Samurai 2, it's time to think outside the box! 1:05-ish AM tonight (3/12-13/22), ONLY TOONAMI!!

This show is normally buried treasure, coming on after Made In Abyss, but now it follows the greater Abyss of the end of Daylight Savings time! Technically 3 AM tonight (3/12-13/22), on the shortest day of the year, but it will feel like only 2 AM! Only TOONAMI!!

In the One Piece universe, it was revealed last week that Mermaids DO in fact have human vaginas...and I'm still not even quite sure how in the hell that works!

Grand Finale tonight! Epic Robot on Robot action! Can TOM kick this mysterious challenger's ass? We shall find out tonight at 1 AM, after a mindblowing new episode of Attack on Titan!

Why in the blue hell did THIS get necro-bumped! In other news, I want Fire Force Season 3! C'MON, Funimation Crunchyroll!!

The question just might be "how far do Reg's robot arms stretch, anyway!?"

Good job! I crashed early last night. This episode is gonna be WILD!

Man, the fact that 200K is successful on Adult Swim these days is crazy. Just a decade ago, Family Guy was pulling FOUR MILLION viewers. The bar is so low now it's practically a speed bump!

The Ukraine news frenzy hadn't cooled off enough to let Toonami shows back into the Top 50, and in fact, only Shenmue cracked 200K and everything did much worse with 18-49: https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-saturday-3-5-2022-top-150-cable-originals-network-finals.html I wouldn't expect to see Toonami shows charting in the Top 50 any time soon. Attack on Ukraine is much more important than Attack on Titan, it would seem. Though of course we were also on the cusp of March Madness and College Basketball is king.

This episode was completely insane in what it revealed about the Attack Titan's capabilities. But as mentioned in the review article below, this has not been without foreshadowing: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/attack-on-titan-the-final-season-part-2/episode-79/.182135 Grade: 4 Stars. Next week is the episode which flips the title of the first, and it just might tell even more of the story of how and why Titans came to be.

Yeah, that's pretty lame. Oh well, later! So far I've seen 5 episodes on tonight's Toonami all the way through!

Uh oh...

Such a trip to see Naruto and Sasuke working together!

Oh damn! Doping! Is this guy Russian!?

This is the worst respect for royalty I've seen since Goku and Grand Zeno!
