Well, I just screwed up and didn't change it.

The heavy metal in this episode is very reminiscent of Iron Maiden!

Eh, I couldn't find it at first.

Great, there's 2 rerun threads so I guess I'll just give up on bumping the original... ...oops, too late.

That is a good question. What were you thinking, FUNimation!?

Damn, I just bumped the original thread!

Session #7: Heavy Metal Queen About as close as we'll ever get to seeing Heavy Metal on Adult Swim? Nah. But still, a cute little episode with an amusing one-off character.

The epic saga continues! Midnight tonight (1/8-1/9/22) ONLY TOONAMI!!

Bebop was kind of a bust. Bender's Big Score parts 1-2 did well though. http://www.ratingsryan.com/2022/01/cable-tv-ratings-week-ending-january-2.html?m=1

I beg to differ. Ass tends to lose quality after 25 years, which (though it was in a coma for almost 4 of them) is how old Toonami will be this year!

Well, here it is...

Interesting that the reruns from last year Fena: Pirate Princess and Dragon Ball Super aren't being sustained. At least we're back to 6 premieres, even if 3 of them are Naruto Shippudens! And Bebop hasn't been on in so long, it might as well be new!

Or maybe they actually stealth-premiere something at 1 AM while only announcing it for the first time at the end of Ass Class. Wouldn't that be NUTS!? As time goes on with no lineup announced, I'm starting to expect something like that!

I truly believe we may see IFC air Sentai anime again. Perhaps most pre-eminent among the potential is Lupin III Parts 1 and 6. That's another Part 6 Toonami will likely miss out on, but at least they've still got MHA Season 6 coming soon, right?? ...RIGHT!?!

It was well-done though. Indeed it was a recap, but one told through the eyes of another character, showing her side of the story, and ending with the difficult decision laid before her that she now must make. It seems it was always designed to air on New Year's Day as an episode you could miss and not lose much of the story. It's a shame it only got 175K.

Yeah maybe. But my DVR will be ALL SCREWED UP!

Well, looks like nothing announced yet, as of noon on Wednesday 1/5/22. But I'll be there won't be anything new besides the 2 premieres we already know about...

Well, this is nuts, but Yashahime's season finale actually beat Black Lotus, and in fact is currently the highest-rated Toonami show in 2022: https://showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-saturday-1-1-2022-top-150-cable-originals-network-finals.html But of course both shows only got 0.09 in 18-49 and under 200K, missing the top 50.

Wait, just what the hell are you babbling about!? Did Demon Slayer Season 2 REALLY JUST hit Netflix dubbed? Because if so that's the biggest damn waste of the movie being cut into episodes I've ever heard of. It's cut for TV. It should be ON TV. Netflix is not TV. Fuck you, Netflix!

In case you didn't see, The Animatrix got 181K. Unknown what its 18-49 number was at this time though: http://toonamifaithful.com/toonami-ratings-for-december-18th-2021/ BTW, since today is Senku from Dr. Stone's birthday, I'm leaving him as my avatar for at least one more day...

I'd say Matrix Revolutions (which I saw part of on Syfy tonight) and the Pacific Rim saga are as close as Western cinema has gotten to mech action. Maybe the Transformers saga as well, but that's derivative.

I just rewatched the first episode a little while ago, and if that wasn't real danger, I don't know what is. Remember, you can't make Koro-Sensei mad; he's literally capable of ANYTHING!

If we even get wrestling on [as]. I seriously doubt they'll make that move in 2022, but it just makes all kinds of sense to me. WCW and [as] were 2 ships passing in the night back in the day, with the former being bought out in March 2001, and the later debuting in September 2001. But with Turner's new wrestling darling AEW right smack dab in [as]'s target demographic, I suppose we'll see some synergy between the two at some point.

It's a long tough negotiation process. It doesn't look good but maybe they can still pull it off.
