Eh, to be fair, if it were able to be the lead-in show for Toonami now that Dragon Ball Super is over, it probably would have done better. We don't know how well Family Guy did as a lead-in on weeknights, but we usually have that information for 10:30 and 11 PM Saturdays. Not quite yet, though. The earliest show last Saturday Night that was not a rerun was One-Punch Man, and, well... http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-10-12-2019.html Lupin once again missed the Top 50 at #58 with a 0.12 in 18-49 and 232K viewers. What's interesting is the much-vaunted bane of Toonami, ONE CHAMPIONSHIP MMA, only landed at #95 with a 0.09 in 18-49, but 264K viewers; however, that is still fewer than any of its competitors on Toonami! I guess we'll find out how PRIMAL and Dragon Ball Super reruns did later today...

PRIMAL report because why not?

If you count legacy shows that aired on Toonami prior to 2019, it's actually 15 out of 20! But you are correct that if you consider subtitles, not one of these shows aired on Toonami before Crunchyroll. And that's something that needs to change. Toonami is making inroads with the likes of FLCL Progressive and Alternative, and next year's Uzumaki and Blade Runner, but they need to go after the golden goose: a World co-Premiere with Japan of a continuation of Dragon Ball Super. An 11 PM Saturday Night dub premiere in the U.S. Combined with like a 2 PM Sunday afternoon Japanese premiere seems about right to me! Keep in mind that Japan is like 15 hours ahead of us. That means that a 5 PM show in Japan that would be simulcast (and dubbed) on Toonami would air at 2 AM at the earliest, if the multilingual aspect is part of the pre-production of that theoretical show. So far, of course, the closest we've come to that is Space Dandy (which was like 9 hours behind in Japan) or FLCL Progressive (which got a theatrical premiere in Japan weeks after its Toonami Premiere).

So 10/10 is BOTH Boruto's birthday AND Naruto's!? How did THAT happen!? Because I thought most kids are probably born 9 months after their fathers' birthdays or Valentine's Day...

Hey, you're right! And it looks to me like that rating would be 4☆!

For some reason, Anime News Network never actually rates the first episode; they always seem to wait until the 2nd or even the 3rd to cover the series to that point. So we'll have to wait until next week to see what they thought of this episode!

Wow, you're right!!! https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/black-clover/episode-90/.148600 Rating: 3.5⭐. I thought it was a pretty good episode from what I've seen, but I can't figure out for the life of me what was in the first half to cause that epilepsy warning! I've heard good things about the next few episodes, though!!

From what I understand, it already exists as an 18-minute-per-episode 8-episode miniseries. As far as Gundam is concerned, that really is the "low-hanging-fruit" at this point!

Yeah, good night! Maybe next week I won't be stricken with a bad case of the sleepies!

Episode #60 (Season 3, Episode 22): "A Talk About Your Quirk" The secrets of One For All will be revealed...AGAIN!! PLUS ULTRA!!!!

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/lupin-the-third-part-5/episode-17/.134960 Grade: "A". That was certainly a refreshing change of pace for a Lupin show!

Lupin's in a green jacket--I think this may be a one-off. If any show on the lineup needed topicals, it's THIS one, but instead it got buried at 3:30 AM.

All the Harry Potteresque mystique turns out to be more like a mecha transformation!

Is that JYB!?

I think this is where the animation gets crazy again for like 4 episodes!!!

I guess we'll find out!

I believe it will air on Toonami in 2021...

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/food-wars-shokugeki-no-soma/episode-14/.90078 Grade: "B". I enjoyed that episode a bit more than a "B"; I'd at least give it an "A-". The Training Camp arc is finally through!! Oh well, ON to the PREMIERE of Demon Slayer!

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/fire-force/episode-11/.151395 Rating: 4⭐. This split episode of flashbacks or side stories seemed to be a real winner!

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/dr-stone/episode-8/.150688 Rating: "3.5⭐". This was mostly a set-up episode for what's to come, but I still feel it was a little better than 3.5 stars!

THEY MADE RAMEN LMAO!!!!

That's the sign of a good show! Too bad it's a DIY thing now that Adult Swim rarely reruns most Toonami shows!

Well, I'm allergic to the stuff! Senku proves that even an idiot can do science!

So he faked his way to Class S!? LOL!!

Well, that's over until next week!!! ON to ONE-PUNCH MAN for now!!!
