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!!!

Yay "Automonous!" Yay Ultra Instinct!!

He's probably so loopy after that he'd think Krillin is trying to feed him Namekian frog shit!

Reruns are reruns--at least these are relatively new! Besides, I get WHY they did this: to showcase the meat of the Goku vs. Jiren fight.

I made one!

Yep! And tonight, it's Episode 128: "The Noble and Proud End! Vegeta Falls!" And we all thought Android 17 was dead, LOL!!! He's come a long way since being swallowed by Cell!

11 PM SATURDAYS - ONLY TOONAMI!!

Episode 11: "Formation of Special Fire Force Company 8: The Mightiest Hikeshi" Let's get fired up! Now we're only a week behind Japan/FUNi NOW! 12:30 AM Tomorrow night (10/12-13), ONLY TOONAMI!!!

I just read on ANN not too long ago that it's getting a 2nd season! More dragon butt stuff??

EPISODE 8: "Stone Road" DR. STONE DOES FOOD WARS! MIDNIGHT TOMORROW (10/12-13) ONLY TOONAMI!!!

Episode #13 (Season 2, Episode 1): THE HERO RETURNS! Saitama is BACK! And no villain is safe!! Witness as he continues to make his ascent thru the Hero Organization!! Punching into Toonami tomorrow night (10/12) at 11:30!!!

Between gen:LOCK and Gundam: The Origin, this was truly the Summer (and early fall) of Mechs on Toonami! But as both shows were all too brief, now both have come to an end. Now that the mechs are gone, unless they show up somehow in Fire Force or something (and no, Senku's vivid imagination in Dr. Stone doesn't count...), it kinda feels like a color in Toonami's spectrum of variety is missing. So, suggest a title to restore it! Lupin III Part 5 is ending soon (down to only 8 episodes), so perhaps a GOOD, new mecha series Toonami hasn't considered could slide into that timeslot (or perhaps premiere further up the schedule after a shake-up)? So, suggest away!!!

I would agree with you except for the underlying twist that more than just the 8 Universes in the tournament turned out to be at risk. I was spoiled on the winner of the tournament using the Dragon Balls to bring back all the other universes, but I had no idea it would be Android 17 (especially after his "sacrifice," the outcome of which I was also spoiled on), and that the stakes of NOT making such a wish would be so high!

What do you mean "last-minute chop-out?" Was there something that got cut from the episode as aired on Toonami? According to Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Ball_Super: "Episodes 130 and 131 were live streamed in various cities across Latin American countries including Mexico, El Salvador, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Nicaragua for free in public venues.[119][120] The public screenings drew large record audiences, which included filling stadiums in Mexico and other Latin American countries,[121] with each screening drawing audiences numbering in the thousands to the tens of thousands.[122]" I'm not sure a mere 911K viewers beats THAT (it might if most stadia were smaller), but it IS true that it's exactly HALF of Toonami's high point on ShowBuzzDaily for a NON-Dragon Ball series: the 1822K that the first episode of Akame ga KILL!! got in 2015 in a 12:30 AM timeslot. (DBZ Kai got 2015K a half-hour earlier but it wasn't included as an "original") As for 2019's high point for a non-DBS series, that would be Boruto, and it won't even be on the lineup in 2.5 weeks! But I digress. https://programminginsider.com/saturday-final-ratings-college-football-on-abc-and-espn-easily-outdraw-mlb-playoffs-on-fs1/ We have now learned that DBS's final episode outrated its Family Guy lead-in by 80K total viewers, a 9.63% increase (for a total of 109.63% retention). But the show performed even better in terms of retention in target demos: 132.35% in Adults 18-34; 127.85% in Adults 18-49; and 123.53% in Adults 25-54. And as for the rest of the lineup in 18-49: 10/5/19 - Adults 18-49 Show Viewers Retention TOONAMI DBS (P) 606,000 127.85% Dr. Stone 391,000 64.52% Dr. Stone 373,000 95.40% FireForce 310,000 83.11% FoodWars! 273,000 88.06% B. Clover 239,000 87.55% Boruto 219,000 91.63% Shippuden 206,000 94.06% Gundam 182,000 88.35% LupinPt5 151,000 82.97% MHA (R) 158,000 104.64% AVERAGE 282,545 5 of 40 😎 I doubt Dragon Ball Super reruns will be able to capture that magic, but maybe One-Punch Man Season 2 will? If not, hope you enjoyed the ride! Now, on to the strange decision to also rerun PRIMAL before Toonami: In its first night, it didn't exactly inspire confidence, at #18 18-49 and 538K total viewers: http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-monday-cable-originals-network-finals-10-7-2019.html http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-tuesday-cable-originals-network-finals-10-8-2019.html But the 2nd night did better, at #7 18-49 and 661K total viewers: Well, at least it seems like it's on a trajectory to beat Infinity Train. Hopefully the show will continue to gain viewers as it continues over the next 3 nights!

Also this DBS episode got an estimated 360K in 18-34, the highest rating of any TOONAMI show so far this year! As for total viewers, that's...uhhh, 9 football stadia?? That's better than Latin America's bootleg subbed showings, right???

10/5/2019 - Total Viewers Show Viewers Retention TOONAMI DBS (P) 911,000 Dr. Stone 561,000 61.58% Dr. Stone 509,000 90.73% FireForce 447,000 87.82% FoodWars! 390,000 87.25% B.

We'll see if the lineup does alright with DBS reruns and OPM and Demon Slayer premieres on the block next week!

Perhaps as if meant to be, Dragon Ball Super concludes its premiere run OVER NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND!!! Only Lupin failed to make the Top 50: http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-10-5-2019.html

Considering the Dragon Ball Super reruns are starting at #128, that seems quite likely! November 9th would be the day DBS and MHA swap on the schedule.

Still a far cry from what One-Punch Man was able to do in 2016 after being out for like 10 months! Every episode of OPM averaged over 1 million viewers, but it WAS before the decline. Still, what would be comparable success for Season 2? 500K viewers? 750K viewers? That's territory that only Dragon Ball Super and maybe, ironically, Boruto, has entered lately.

One Piece also had super-deformed character designs... https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/fire-force/episode-10/.151123 Rating: 3.5⭐. I thought the best part of this mostly lighthearted episode was the teaser at the end! Látom.

I don't think AmaLee actually recorded a full version of it. They're playing all they've got. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/dragon-ball-super/episode-131/.129487 Grade: "A+". Y'all agree??
