Episode #11: "The Stagiarie" I have no idea what it means, but it's on tonight (3/28-3/29) at 1 AM! ONLY TOONAMI!!

This pandemic, for all its sheer terror, has given us a rare glimpse into what would happen if Saturday night TV had little to no competition. It turns out that the stuff that comes on before Toonami went up too: https://programminginsider.com/saturday-final-ratings-henry-danger-series-finale-on-nickelodeon-posts-series-most-watched-telecast-in-one-year/ Dragon Ball Z Kai (repeat) (ADSM, 8:00 PM, 30 min.) • 0.362 million viewers (#95) • 0.20 HH (#95) • 0.13 A18-49 (#71) • 0.14 A18-34 (#36) • 0.12 A25-54 (#97) • 0.03 A55+ Dragon Ball Z Kai (repeat) (ADSM, 8:30 PM, 30 min.) • 0.381 million viewers (#92) • 0.22 HH (#86) • 0.14 A18-49 (#61) • 0.17 A18-34 (#18) • 0.13 A25-54 (#90) • 0.03 A55+ American Dad (repeat) (ADSM, 9:00 PM, 30 min.) • 0.399 million viewers (#90) • 0.24 HH (#81) • 0.16 A18-49 (#51) • 0.20 A18-34 (#9) • 0.14 A25-54 (#87) • 0.06 A55+ American Dad (repeat) (ADSM, 9:30 PM, 30 min.) • 0.579 million viewers (#58) • 0.33 HH (#61) • 0.25 A18-49 (#22) • 0.27 A18-34 (#4) • 0.24 A25-54 (#40) • 0.10 A55+ Bob’s Burgers (repeat) (ADSM, 10:00 PM, 30 min.) • 0.677 million viewers (#47) • 0.40 HH (#48) • 0.30 A18-49 (#13) • 0.33 A18-34 (#2) • 0.30 A25-54 (#28) • 0.11 A55+ Family Guy (repeat) (ADSM, 10:30 PM, 30 min.) • 0.865 million viewers (#32) • 0.53 HH (#29) • 0.38 A18-49 (#4) • 0.41 A18-34 (#1) • 0.41 A25-54 (#13) • 0.14 A55+ Family Guy (R) (Adult Swim, 11:00 PM, 30 min.) • 0.971 million viewers • 0.44 A18-49 • 0.47 A25-54 • 0.16 A55+ My Hero Academia (Adult Swim, 11:30 PM, 30 min.) • 0.718 million viewers • 0.34 A18-49 • 0.38 A25-54 • 0.07 A55+ Sword Art Online: Alicization – War of Underworld (Adult Swim, 12:00 AM, 30 min.) • 0.552 million viewers • 0.29 A18-49 • 0.31 A25-54 • 0.04 A55+ Demon Slayer (Adult Swim, 12:30 AM, 30 min.) • 0.552 million viewers • 0.29 A18-49 • 0.32 A25-54 • 0.04 A55+ Food Wars (Adult Swim, 1:00 AM, 30 min.) • 0.522 million viewers • 0.28 A18-49 • 0.31 A25-54 • 0.03 A55+ Black Clover (R) (Adult Swim, 1:30 AM, 30 min.) • 0.482 million viewers • 0.26 A18-49 • 0.29 A25-54 • 0.04 A55+ JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind (Adult Swim, 2:00 AM, 30 min.) • 0.366 million viewers • 0.20 A18-49 • 0.22 A25-54 • 0.03 A55+ Naruto: Shippuden (R) (Adult Swim, 2:30 AM, 30 min.) • 0.308 million viewers • 0.16 A18-49 • 0.18 A25-54 • 0.02 A55+ Genndy Tartakovksy Primal (R) (Adult Swim, 3:00 AM, 30 min.) • 0.273 million viewers • 0.15 A18-49 • 0.15 A25-54 • 0.03 A55+ Samurai Jack (R) (Adult Swim, 3:30 AM, 30 min.) • 0.260 million viewers • 0.14 A18-49 • 0.14 A25-54 • 0.03 A55+ Read more: https://programminginsider.com/saturday-final-ratings-henry-danger-series-finale-on-nickelodeon-posts-series-most-watched-telecast-in-one-year/

Good guess, but no. Believe it or not, I've been stone cold sober for 10 days now! Well, I guess 3rd time's the charm!

Yeah, you can have this one!

Episodio 20: The Final Mission From The Boss Enjoy the next-to-last episode of JoJo you'll see before the pandemic hiatus! 2 AM TOMORROW NIGHT (3/28-3/29); ONLY TOONAMI!!!

Episode #81 (Season 4, Episode 18): "School Festival" Enjoy the next-to-last episode before MHA goes on pandemic hiatus! 11:30 PM TOMORROW NIGHT (3/28), ONLY TOONAMI!!!

Boruto has some bright spots. It's not great but it's by far not the worst thing I've ever seen!

Thanks to this pandemic, Toonami is in a very interesting situation: ALL of their classic competitors except maybe Nick at Nite, both on and off TV, are shut down. As a result, Toonami's ratings shot WAY up this week, from an average of 334K on 3/14 to 500K on 3/21! It may not be for the best of reasons, but I kinda feel the Better Cartoon Show would be remiss not to at least be somewhat opportunistic about this growth in advertising revenue. Hopefully that means hot new shows to replace MHA, SAO, and Demon Slayer later on?

It certainly provided a welcome respite to all the doom and gloom, and that might be why the numbers spiked. This may also indicate that in normal times, the socialite component of ratings is more Live+3 after the shows air. Either that, or it was just that people were bored and discovering the shows.

Damn, look what the coronavirus did for Toonami! MHA cracks 700K, SAO, Demon Slayer, and Food Wars! all join the 500K+ club for 2020, and JoJo does better than normal! Even more amazing are the fact that in 18-34, MHA and FW! tied for 2nd place, while in men 18-49, the Toonami shows came in 2nd-5th. Only Harvey Danger did better! This ain't rocket science. Keep people stuck at home, and they'll watch more TV. But it doesn't hurt that at least what Toonami's offering is compelling!

The problem is that we didn't test much to begin with so we don't really know how much coronavirus we had over here. Numbers of detected cases WILL go up this week as testing ramps up but the preventative measures we've been talking will most likely make the R0 value (average number of people each infected person infects) go down. Unchecked it's at like 2.5 but with the half-hearted measures we've seen so far in this transition week, I'd say we've gotten it down to about 1.7 or 1.8, maybe more like 1.3 in some stricter states. Italy's testing must be worse than us, because it has been about as long as they've seen their first case to ours, and we've got fewer than 1/10 of their deaths. Given that we have just under 300 and the death rate in countries that test aggressively is about 0.7%, we've probably really got about 40,000 cases in the U.S. right now, so even with our haphazard testing, we've discovered a large percentage of them, about 60%. Italy, on the other hand, is stricken with a lot more deaths, so it stands to reason they've got a lot more cases than have been detected. As for how this affects Toonami, it will be interesting to see what they do with SAO's timeslot in 3 weeks. Hopefully we will have flattened the curve by then.

Yeah, but it's the WORST show to watch while trying to do anything else!

And so, he rides off into the sunset!

I'm not really sure what this show has left to do, but I AM sure it will amaze us!

Giggity.

8-9 PM Saturday nights! I hope Dragon Ball Super takes over weeknights at 8 again!

Figures this is how the night ends. It began with Trunks talking about a virus attacking Goku's heart on DBZ Kai!

Nah. Wonder if they wrote disease into Season 2?

Ballmastrz marathon Friday night!

Oh yeah!

PRIMAL is on, and Spear and Fang are being driven BATTY!!

I thought this thread might come back this week, but I guess not. Saito, are you OK?

Yeah, for real! Everyone be strong and stay healthy. We'll meet up next week, and hopefully the country won't have completely gone to hell yet. LATER!

Welp, that backfired!

But this hasn't been too bad for a filler episode!
