The hell they don't!

Only 2 AM for me. That's kinda watchable.

Welp, here's the Gundam Origin trailer. Guess 3 AM it is... which I'm actually kinda sorta OK with because I'll head home from the bars before then if I decide to go out late on a Saturday night. Plus, it's actually only 2 AM my time.

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/my-hero-academia/episode-55/.135112 Grade: "B". Man, that's really lowballing it! ON TO DBS!!

Who knew SHE'D have a cameo in this show!?

Not really sure what kind of dumbfuckery is preventing me from posting a video, but I did the best I could.

The misadventures of Naruto's son continue tonight (6/22) at 2 AM!! Only Toonami!!

Don't miss the penultimate episode of Season 1! Midnight tonight (6/22), ONLY TOONAMI!!

Episode #54 (Season 3, Episode 17): Hero Erwin's soldiers RAGE!!! The battle to uncover the secrets of the mysterious cellar continues!! 11:30 PM tonight (6/22), ONLY TOONAMI!!

Yeah, but if they're doing this, it means they've got a sledgehammer of a show replacing Promised Neverland at Midnight. Rerunning that at Midnight and throwing Gundam to 3 AM would be the dumbest thing ever!

This battle between Kefla and Goku has heated up, and Goku has reached his newest ultimate form: Ultra Instinct!! Will this be enough to send both female Saiyans to the sideline? Watch and find out! 11 PM Tonight, ONLY TOONAMI!!

Don't miss it!! 10:30 PM tonight (6/22) kicking off Toonami as always!!

Everyone on the Internet wants to catch Lupin! Can he outmaneuver them? Watch this Saturday (6/22) and every Saturday at 1 AM and find out!! Only TOONAMI!!

What the hell!? The Promised Neverland ends next week, and we still don't know what's replacing it! This must be some kind of mistake...

It looks alright to me!

Oddly enough, not in a couple of key demos, as it clearly beat the Narutoverse Hour, and of course as usual post-Toonami was no match for anything during Toonami: Dragon Ball Z Kai (R) (Adult Swim, 8:00 PM, 30 min.) • 0.321 million viewers [#546] • 0.12 A18-49 [#250] • 0.12 A25-54 [#389] Dragon Ball Super (R) (Adult Swim, 8:30 PM, 30 min.) • 0.286 million viewers [#608] • 0.12 A18-49 [#262] • 0.11 A25-54 [#418] Rick & Morty (R) (Adult Swim, 9:00 PM, 30 min.) • 0.371 million viewers [#424] • 0.17 A18-49 [#104] • 0.17 A25-54 [#194] Rick & Morty (R) (Adult Swim, 9:30 PM, 30 min.) • 0.512 million viewers [#210] • 0.24 A18-49 [#21] • 0.26 A25-54 [#63] Family Guy (R) (Adult Swim, 10:00 PM, 30 min.) • 0.665 million viewers [#122] • 0.33 A18-49 [#2] • 0.33 A25-54 [#16] My Hero Academia (R) (Adult Swim, 10:30 PM, 30 min.) • 0.507 million viewers [#216] • 0.25 A18-49 [#17] • 0.25 A25-54 [#73] Dragon Ball Super (Adult Swim, 11:00 PM, 30 min.) • 0.610 million viewers [#150] • 0.31 A18-49 [#5] • 0.30 A25-54 [#28] Attack on Titan (Adult Swim, 11:30 PM, 30 min.) • 0.386 million viewers [#390] • 0.20 A18-49 [#51] • 0.19 A25-54 [#148] The Promised Neverland (Adult Swim, 12:00 AM, 30 min.) • 0.329 million viewers [#529] • 0.16 A18-49 [#122] • 0.16 A25-54 [#233] Sword Art Online: Alicization (Adult Swim, 12:30 AM, 30 min.) • 0.327 million viewers [#532] • 0.17 A18-49 [#89] • 0.16 A25-54 [#223] Lupin the 3rd: Part 5 (P) (Adult Swim, 1:00 AM, 30 min.) • 0.236 million viewers [#718] • 0.12 A18-49 [#242] • 0.11 A25-54 [#450] Black Clover (R) (Adult Swim, 1:30 AM, 30 min.) • 0.244 million viewers [#694] • 0.13 A18-49 [#228] • 0.11 A25-54 [#402] Boruto: Naruto Next Generations (Adult Swim, 2:00 AM, 30 min.) • 0.242 million viewers [#699] • 0.12 A18-49 [#262] • 0.10 A25-54 [#481] Naruto: Shippuden (R) (Adult Swim, 2:30 AM, 30 min.) • 0.237 million viewers [#715] • 0.12 A18-49 [#277] • 0.10 A25-54 [#488] Hunter X Hunter (R) (Adult Swim, 3:00 AM, 30 min.) • 0.243 million viewers [#696] • 0.13 A18-49 [#220] • 0.11 A25-54 [#463] Gemusetto Machu Picchu (R) (Adult Swim, 3:30 AM, 30 min.) • 0.200 million viewers [#807] • 0.10 A18-49 [#378] • 0.08 A25-54 [#692] Ballmastrz: 9009 (R) (Adult Swim, 4:00 AM, 15 min.) • 0.180 million viewers [#861] • 0.08 A18-49 [#515] • 0.07 A25-54 [#801] Tigtone (R) (Adult Swim, 4:15 AM, 15 min.) • 0.174 million viewers [#877] • 0.08 A18-49 [#515] • 0.06 A25-54 [#877] Venture Brothers (R) (Adult Swim, 4:30 AM, 30 min.) • 0.199 million viewers [#809] • 0.09 A18-49 [#420] • 0.07 A25-54 [#753] Aqua Teen Hungerforce (R) (Adult Swim, 5:00 AM, 15 min.) • 0.166 million viewers [#900] • 0.08 A18-49 [#596] • 0.05 A25-54 [#915] Aqua Teen Hungerforce (R) (Adult Swim, 5:15 AM, 15 min.) • 0.169 million viewers [#891] • 0.08 A18-49 [#565] • 0.05 A25-54 [#925] Home Movies (R) (Adult Swim, 5:30 AM, 30 min.) • 0.167 million viewers [#898] • 0.08 A18-49 [#557] • 0.06 A25-54 [#908] Read more: https://programminginsider.com/saturday-final-ratings-concacaf-gold-cup-match-of-cuba-mexico-on-univision-tops-all-telecasts-within-its-time-slot-among-adults-18-49-and-18-34/ 6/15/19 - Adults 18-49 Show Viewers Retention DBZ Kai 154,000 DBS (R) 154,000 100.00% TOONAMI MHA 326,000 77.07% DBS (P) 405,000 124.23% AOTS3B 255,000 62.96% TPN 208,000 81.57% SAO3 225,000 108.17% LupinPt5 158,000 70.22% B.

Which, I guess, makes sense, since TPN really is kind of an "older adult" show. But what's really bad is how badly the s(h)itcoms on Nick At Nite pretty much kicked the back half of Toonami's asses, and all but MHA and DBS lost to it badly in total viewers:

Lupin III Part 5 sure didn't seem like a "boob-allergic" show! Its first episode had quite its share of big knockers! http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-6-15-2019.html "Adult Swim’s line-up performed as follows: DRAGON BALL at 0.31 and at 0.12/321K & 0.12/286K, compared to last week’s 0.31 and 0.11/310K & 0.14/326K, MY HERO ACADEMIA up 0.04 to 0.25/507K, ATTACK ON TITAN up 0.01 to 0.20/386K, PROMISED NEVERLAND steady at 0.16, SWORD ART ONLINE up 0.01 to 0.17, LUPIN THE 3RD at 0.12/236K, BLACK CLOVER down 0.01 to 0.13/244K, BORUTO steady at 0.12/242K, NARUTO steady at 0.12/237K, HUNTER X HUNTER steady at 0.13/243K, and GEMUSETTO MACHU PICCHU down 0.01 to 0.10/200K." MHA over 500K--now that's pretty sweet! The gap between it and DBS is closing!! Now we still don't know how Family Guy did and how much it retained from it's lead-in yet, but that alone is quite notable! Too bad for everything after DBS though... 6/15/19 - Total Viewers Show Viewers Retention DBZ Kai 321,000 DBS (R) 286,000 89.10% TOONAMI MHAS3 507,000 DBS (P) 610,000 120.32% AOTS3P2 386,000 63.28% TPN 329,000 85.23% SAO3 327,000 99.39% LupinPt5 236,000 72.17% B.

Too bad [as] is airing Rick & Morty first before their Sunday night originals, which absolutely kills their potential. Family Guy at 11 PM may reach almost 1.5M viewers, but after that, the Jellies does this: That's even more disappointing than how AOT follows Dragon Ball Super!

Yeah, ESPN+ is getting ALL the viewers. That said, the FEMALE 12-34 viewership was disturbingly low across the board, and they wouldn't be that into boxing, right? Young women just weren't watching Toonami at all last week, a far cry from the "girl power" days of 2015. The irony is that most of the same or similar shows are back on the block now: we've got TPN, a show that was actually aired on a Japanese block (noitaminA) with female viewers in mind, and SAO, which absolutely KILLED it 4 years ago in the young women's demo with Season II. Mix that with strong female leads (though not necessarily in this episode) in AOT and a show with potential crossover appeal (Lupin) and you've got a great recipe to bring in the young ladies in the mid-block, but they just weren't watching! It's hard to figure out exactly what they WERE watching too. Not even HALLMARK this week; Live PD and...I guess Henry Danger.

We interrupt this...well, whatever the hell that was, to bring you the ratings! Dragon Ball Super did pretty great, as always, but brace yourselves, because this is disappointing: http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-6-15-2019.html Never mind the green tint; those 18-34 numbers are just plain dismal. We're talking "craptacular encore Saturday" awful here, and we don't even know them for the newest show. Lupin the 3rd: Part 5 and Boruto off the chart at #58 and #62 with a modest 236K and 242K respectively. Both shows got a 0.12 in Adults 18-49. I'm...disappointed. Live PD reruns its 9PM-12AM broadcast immediately afterward at 12AM-3AM, and we're never gonna know, but I'll bet that beats Toonami every single week that it's not a same-night rerun. The thing about cop drama is the people who watch it probably have no idea what they're watching isn't live, but happened 3 hours ago. But then again, they KNEW the Live PD that showed on 5/25 was a rerun, and [as] and Toonami beat it pretty soundly, so maybe I'm wrong. I just hope we're not reaching the point where it's becoming too expensive for Toonami to acquire shows with the ratings that it's getting. But I guess it's also possible Dragon Ball Super can act as the cash cow for the rest of the block. And it could also be that Toonami's cash cow comes from outside Toonami, as we recently got to see that an episode of Family Guy got 1.2 million on a Sunday night. See the spoiler tag below, since it pretty much has nothing to do with Toonami: I believe once Dragon Ball Super ends, they'll run 2 episodes back-to-back from the beginning either to begin Toonami or to lead-in to it. This seemed to work wonders in Fall 2017, though one of those was a premiere.

Depends whether you mean this season or the first season of SAO. They took 3 episodes to chop down a damn tree in this season, so I wouldn't blame you for feeling that way!

I still need to watch that. Oddly enough, I HAVE seen Jigen's Gravestone... This season seems a bit more like WKFM than Part 4 was! It also seems a bit more "serial", meaning that there will probably be more episodes that end in cliffhangers and less with "resolutions," which would be less episodic than Part 4.

I don't think she's anything like Rebecca... (but if you watched closely, you would notice Rebecca DID have a cameo, or at least her picture, in the opening "web of connections" shot!)

But would they be able to pull of Jigen's trademark eyes-hidden-under-hat-except-when-emoting look and rolled-up beard??
