Actually, NO! All shows improved MARKEDLY, and all eligible shows made the Top 50 (Top 40 at that!): You wanted growth? You got it; in total viewers: Show Improvement DBS 117.39% AOT 168.42% SAO 160.89% LupinIII 202.42% Fd Wars 221.94% Gundam 166.88% And we don't know hard numbers for 18-49 yet, but from what we DO know, Lupin III Part 5 and Food Wars! effectively DOUBLED their audience, while the other 4 known shows increased less, but still pretty markedly. Finally, Gundam's 0.11 in 18-34 (~75K, the occupancy of Legion Field) LOOKS pretty rough, but if you'll recall, on June 22nd the entire Midnight hour was that low, and Lupin may have been as well the following 2 weeks, but we don't know since it failed to make the Top 50. So 75K is DAMN good for 3 AM, and with Gundam moving up to 1 AM, it seems it will only improve from here!

It's starting at the same time as it has since the beginning of July--11 PM. Dragon Ball Super has consistently been at 11 for almost a year now, and all the other shows have revolved around it like some kind of "fulcrum", which makes sense because it has the best ratings of any show on the block. With quite a few shows lasting only a cour or two, or being serial in nature, and some long-runners like DBZ Kai and Hunter x Hunter ending, they've really done the best they could to stay consistent.

I believe this is most likely a temporary contraction, because we've got gen:LOCK coming in on August 3rd, and Attack on Titan will most likely rerun at 3:30 AM. I am fine with this. Sword Art Online: Alicization would have been too much of a pain in the ass to rerun, and unless they gave The Promised Neverland a 2nd spin, they don't really have anything to rerun or anything new to roll out. But with Toonami airing 9 shows from 11-3:30, SOMETHING Toonami is airing at Midnight. We just don't know exactly what yet...

Yep, that will ruin this idiot's weekend!

Yeah, it is totally looking like it right now. But if that means Gundam and MHA move up, I'm all for it! Plus, we might just get back that 3:30 AM hour once AOT's current half-season ends for its reruns!

So was it still doing well in the ratings? Mythbusters was a similar case, but it didn't do well at ALL its last 3 seasons where it aired on prime time Saturdays instead of its old hit Wednesday night timeslot! Battlebots is doing extremely well these days on Fridays!

Hips don't lie. ASS DON'T LIE!!!

I'm willing to bet Toonami did better this week. I don't know if Food Wars and Gundam: The Origin cracked 200K for the first time, but I'm willing to bet they improved! I trust Jose. He's responsible for getting Lupin on the block!

It's a really nice touch if so! I'm even gonna try to get my mom into the more cutesy elements, especially stuff with Lucifer the kitty! Rumor has it this show is getting an upgrade to 1 AM next week!

That would be the same time frame as this season.

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/my-hero-academia/episode-58/.135943 Grade: "B-". Yeah, not the same par as the main story, which thankfully we return to next week, with only 5 episodes left!

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/boruto-naruto-next-generations/episode-39/.125817 Grade: "B+". Ok, so "Mitsuki" CAN mean "Full Moon". Guess that makes sense!

Damn, I can't believe it's NEXT WEEK'S BLOCK and we STILL DON'T KNOW!!! I guess we'll find out Monday. That MIGHT be enough time for [as] to get the word out to on-screen guides about the new schedule so they're not completely fucked up!

Yeah, he's kinda "retired" now.

So is Alicization rerunning? There would definitely be enough time to squeeze a rerun in by next February...

I'm about to rewatch this awesomeness!!

So Grisha turned into a feral titan, and ate that guy, and then Eren in turn ate his father? Seems plausible!

I have several friends who are BIG fans of both!!! But it's beyond bizarre that we STILL don't know what the lineup is going to be next week!

HBO Max is Warner's new streaming service. I'm CERTAIN it will stream Toonami as well. If you were wanting Toonami on HBO, you're sorta gonna get your wish... In the time traditional TV has left, we may actually see a Game of Thrones animated spinoff on HBO with 28-minute uncut episodes, and 22-minute edited episodes on Toonami!

And maybe a better timeslot?

And we STILL don't know what the block is gonna be next week!!!

Yeah, you gotta watch the movie to see--and it's already been in theaters! That would be an "oops," Toonami!

uh oh...

Oh yeah, it IS her!!!

FAIL!
