Certainly seems to be the case so far. Fire Force could still improve though. Boruto is showing strength at 2 AM so maybe it should move up? And Food Wars! is apparently an acquired taste (no pun intended) so maybe it could be a candidate for the 2nd show on the lineup, a slightly more sane time to actually eat while watching it. Gen:LOCK should definitely be on later though. Again, the real culprit is the mass shootings and sharks, I guess. That won't be the case next week, sadly only most likely in the case of the mass shootings.

Ok, there was a horrific shooting happening in real time in Texas during most of the day, so I'm gonna give Toonami a pass in terms of all shows not making the Top 50 on this one. But I gotta admit for 11:30 PM, this is still pretty bad: http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-8-3-2019.html Fire Force checks in at #53 with 327K and 0.15 in 18-49, Gundam: The Origin (Red Comet) is next, coming in at #64 with 270K and 0.13 in 18-49, and Lupin III Part 5 also scores a 0.13 in 18-49 at #67 with 278K viewers. If not for CNN, Fox News, and Shark Week, all three shows probably would have made the Top 50 like they did last week. What is quite interesting is that Food Wars! and Boruto actually hit their recent HIGHs in [adult swim]'s most important Adults 18-34 demographic, both scoring a 0.20. But did Fire Force, Lupin, and Gundam follow suit? Unfortunately, since they didn't do well enough to make the Top 50 in Adults 18-49, I guess we're never gonna know. I had high hopes for gen:LOCK, but I'm not so sure anymore. Boruto was the only thing getting the job done at 11:30 so it needs to move back there. Gundam should move up and gen:LOCK should join it somewhere in the mid-block, either 1 AM or 2 AM. This would be a much better lineup for ratings: 11 PM Dragon Ball Super 11:30 Boruto 12 AM Fire Force 12:30 Black Clover 1 AM Food Wars! 1:30 Gundam: The Origin 2 AM gen:LOCK 2:30 Lupin III Part 5 3 AM Shippuden 3:30 MHA/AOT reruns

Huh? You mean "Lupin, JIGEN, and Goemon," right??

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/my-hero-academia/episode-61/.136841 Grade: "A+"! What a way to end this epic night of Toonami with a Bakugo BANG!!!!

Ironically, the first fight was because of Bakugo's excessive pride. Now, he's actually envious of Deku! He looked down on Deku in Episode #7, but now he believes Deku looks down on him!

Welp, guess they're gonna fight!

Time for the closer to another great Toonami block!!

Now time for the headliner of the night! My Hero Academia, up next!

Wow, wild ED! Not stationary this time!!

Yeah, better than gen:LOCK, that's for sure!

Oh, Garma's a ZABI! Like Mineva in Unicorn! Oh, I remember him from Episode 1!

Man, that was a sleepy theme!

I couldn't hold my eyes open! And now it's almost time for Gundam The Origin!

This music is putting me to sleep...ah, that's better!

Yeah, on Disney XD!

I stand corrected! We're back to the main story! I hope you're watching this video because it is AWESOME!!!

Lazy captions didn't even tell me what the name of the episode is... "For My Friend" according to my DVR!

Glad to see Boruto having to use shadow clones to solve this lame-brain mission! Even so, I almost fell asleep during this crap. So I guess this is fitting: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/boruto-naruto-next-generations/episode-42/.126923 Grade: "C+". ON to Naruto: Shippuden!!

Somehow I doubt it will be that easy...

YOU DICK! 😡

Paying their respects? Nope, PISSING ON HIS GRAVE!

Hope they fix that for the DVD/BD release!

Oh shit, he's going dark Asta!!!

Who knows?
