Yeah, you could certainly make the argument that the later seasons being buried deeper in the lineup may have something to do with Viz having shallower pockets when it came to shelling out money for the rights to those names than Warner did for the first season, though even THEY came up with some creative ways around them. Though I certainly found "Santviento" as first Pillar Man "Santana" quite jarring, the way they worked around the other 3 Pillar Men, "AC/DC, Wham, and Cars" as "Esidisi, Wamuu, and Kars", quite clever!

A look back to 5 years ago, and the end of InuYasha: The Final Act: Well, we FINALLY have full block ratings for last week, 6/6/20, and believe it or not, they actually got posted DURING Toonami last night. Ballmastrz did about as crappy as you'd expect. https://programminginsider.com/saturday-final-ratings-telemundo-leads-prime-time-among-adults-18-49-and-18-34-with-double-movie-feature/ Then again, it IS kinda nice to see 7 shows once again on the rundown at the bottom of the article! Digging a little deeper, we see that in the absence of Live PD, the #1 show was actually a 10:30 episode of The Big Bang Theory on TBS, and Toonami lost big to Nick-At-Nite but once again beat TZGZ. AVERAGES: 322.5K overall, ranking 18th out of 23 for the year; 214.8K 18-49, 17th for the year.

Hopefully Toomami actually PLAYS that one in full! Yes, I know it's the same song, but it's enough of a difference that they SHOULD!! I will try to remember to copy and paste this to next week's thread! Also, why in the hell did Funimation have to change the episode numerals?? But I digress. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/black-clover/episode-121/.156351 Rating: 4 stars. The reviewer said it surprised him/her (I don't know what kind of name Theron even is), and yep, I agree!! Can't wait to see where they go with this next week, which with MHA most likely returning, SHOULD be a solid block!

WOW!!! BTW, this episode got an "A+" from ANN, in case anyone cares!

Watch JoJo come back in an earlier timeslot, like 12:30 or 1 AM, and replace one of the other ending shows, when it comes back. Hell, at this point, I wouldn't put leading the block as a stop-gap past it, if that's what it takes to build the bridge to Fire Force Season 2. Then again, depending upon how long it takes, we could be talking about Attack on Titan leading the block. At this point, we just don't know who the block-leader will be, but I have a lot of faith that JoJo could do it effectively. It has been the SECOND show on the block before! Its run has 11 weeks left so if they have them all ready to go at once it could be a stalwart.

Yeah, great twist this thread took at the end toward the tenuous relationship between Disney and the ATT family! I hope we end up seeing an occasional Miyazaki film on Toonami once again! They could even throw in an "HBO max presents" or something...

Wow, I almost crashed! Well, I guess that's the end of the night! LATER!!

It also aired earlier tonight during DBZ Kai. Hopefully they throw Toonami a bone eventually and let them do another Month of Miyazaki if they have trouble getting shows otherwise!

I'm FINALLY starting to get sleepy...

After the last 3 or 4 weeks, this episode kinda feels like a letdown...

Luna? It was! ON TO SHIPPUDEN!!

Trope intact! Ace and his nosebleeds!!

Episode 4: "To Catch A Princess" Gaz does have a point!

It does have its moments! I'd say it's worthy of Toonami, even if it took a really weird set of circumstances to make it happen!

Episode 3: "Very Special Ballz" Yeah, I'll admit Drunk Gaz Digsy is pretty damn funny!

Yeah, obviously almost exactly the same as Tsu from MHA!

And then there's a 5th, hidden kingdom, much smaller than the others, the Joker kingdom, right??

Are both Secre and her Nero bird form voiced by Monica Rial?

Well, I mean, I guess he WILL die someday. We all will, I guess.

Yeah, for real! But I thought they were called "anti magic birds" in this series!

They don't even know he's Julius, LMAO!

This won't be all the "catching" we do tonight!

I guess so!!!

125 should be making its way to Toonami before it sunsets. We might be lucky enough to get 126 or even 127 before Food Wars or JoJo returns to take its place.

It's DIMPLE!!!
