https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/megalobox/episode-12/.133286 Grade: "A". Bizarre interstitial oddities aside, this was a GREAT episode!! Can hardly wait for the last one!!

Well, I wouldn't exactly say they "tanked"; they're just "ehh…" "Adult Swim’s line-up performed as follows: DRAGON BALL at 0.30 and 0.09/284K & 0.10/306K compared to last week’s 0.38 and 0.15/447 & 0.15/423K, BORUTO down 0.05 to 0.21, MY HERO ACADEMIA down 0.06 to 0.20/486K, SWORD ART ONLINE down 0.03 to 0.18, MEGALOBOX down 0.03 to 0.17/337K, JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE down 0.03 to 0.16, BLACK CLOVER steady at 0.17/327K, HUNTER X HUNTER down 0.01 to 0.13/269K, NARUTO steady at 0.14/276K, and ATTACK ON TITAN down 0.02 to 0.10/212K." 3/16/19 - Total Viewers Show Viewers Retention DBZ Kai 284,000 DBS (R) 306,000 107.75% DBS (P) 718,000 Boruto 517,000 72.01% MHA 486,000 94.00% SAO3 420,000 86.42% MegaloBox 337,000 80.24% JoJo4 318,000 94.36% B.

Also, Black Clover did stay more or less steady in Adults 18-49, even if it lost >100k total viewers! But wait, there's more!! https://programminginsider.com/saturday-final-ratings-duke-victory-over-florida-state-on-espn-draws-largest-audience-on-record-for-acc-tournament-championship-game/ 3/16/19 - Adults 18-49 Show Viewers Retention DBZ Kai 115,000 DBS (R) 128,000 111.30% DBS (P) 390,000 95.12% Boruto 277,000 71.03% MHA 252,000 90.97% SAO3 234,000 92.86% MegaloBox 215,000 91.88% JoJo4 211,000 98.14% B.

Oops, wrong thread...

Well, at least they all made the Top 50. A few weeks back, Megalobox was stuck at #52, and JoJo inexplicably beat it to land inside the Top 50.

Well folks, THIS is why you don't run the regular lineup on St. Patrick's Day: http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-3-16-2019.html Super dipped under 750K for the first time since January, and Megalobox plunged to its 2nd-lowest number since Midnight last year. To be fair, the demographics weren't TOO much lower, on a par with the end of February, once you got past Super, anyway. Still, if there were schedule issues, relying on a glitch is foolish. They should have just run a Pop Team Epic marathon, accompanied by recast green-colored bumps with TOM and SARA doing their best Irish accents...

Yep.

Damn, I hope Pixie-Bob is just injured and not dead! Episode 41 has NOT been kind to Cherami Leigh's characters!! https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/my-hero-academia/episode-41/.130691 Grade: "B+." The training was intense, but I'm glad we're not gonna just screw around with that for half a season!

The last hour before St. Patrick's Day officially began on the East Coast was truly the "love hour!" https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/boruto-naruto-next-generations/episode-22/.120745 Grade "B." Somehow, it might have been better for Karin just to have been there!?

You're right. We WERE just on Episode 22. Fixed it... Now maybe if we're lucky, Toonami will fix their mistake with Episode 6 of SAO as well??

What's funny is a new Geico ad campaign uses "believe it." Would maybe have been good for sponsorship of Boruto, but "y'know..."

This is certainly enough to make me want to do it next week. But St. Patty's Day shenanigans trumped everything this week! I'm just now catching up! https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/dragon-ball-super/episode-102/.119797 Grade: "B+". I might have gone A-, but maybe the showdown between 17 and Brianne next week will go into that territory?

Ok, so recap: BEFORE THE EPISODE U2: 10/10 (Full strength) U3: 7/10 U4: 7/10 U6: 10/10 (Full strength) U7: 9/10 (Almost full strength) U9: 0/10 (Eliminated) U10: 4/10 U11: 4/10 TOTAL: 51/80 AFTER THE EPISODE U2: 8/10 U10: 3/10 All others unchanged TOTAL: 48/80

So, really, the only weird things that happened are: SAO aired only the first half of its episode, Megalobox aired the first half of its episode twice Naruto Shippuden aired the entirety of its episode minus the OP between commercial breaks. Did I get that right?

Did AOT get screwed with too tonight??

This thread could totally use one of THESE:

Around 2 AM, you might find if you drown that shamrock clover in a Guinness Foreign Extra, it kinda turns black. Don't miss Asta's latest assault on magic and your eardrums tomorrow night (3/16-3/17)!! ♧ ONLY TOONAMI!! ♧

Don't pass out yet; you're only halfway done! Green beer is really freaking bizarre when you think about it, so nothing says "Happy St. Paddy's Day!!" like your weekly dose of JoJo!! 1:30 AM tomorrow night (3/16-3/17), ♧ ONLY TOONAMI!! ♧

Tomorrow night (3/16), when St. Paddy's Day has officially come for Central Time (MY time zone), Formerly Gearless Joe, who now dons gear, will begin his climactic final showdown with Yuri! Will the Luck O' The Irish be with him, or will the Pot O' Gold at the end of his rainbow be just a mirage? Tune in and find out at 1 AM Tomorrow (3/16-3/17)! ♧ ONLY TOONAMI!!! ♧

When this episode premieres on Toonami, St. Paddy's Day will have officially begun on the east coast, and so will the showcase of the first official day of the UA heroes' hell-camp!! So grab that Guinness, and get ready! Midnight tomorrow night (3/16, technically 3/17) ♧ ONLY TOONAMI!! ♧

Grab another Green Beer or a Guinness (or just finish the one you started during Super, you alcoholic) and watch Sarada and her daddy team up to take on a fearsome new foe!! 11:30 PM tomorrow night (3/16), just before the East Coast rings in St. Paddy's Day!! ♧ ONLY TOONAMI!! ♧

Grab a green beer, gather 'round your devices, and get ready for the next chapter of the tournament of power!! 11 PM tomorrow night, ALMOST St. Patrick's Day!! ♧ ONLY TOONAMI!!! ♧

Well, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Hunter x Hunter already certainly have their moments...

The irony is now that they're gone, interesting stuff IS happening!

From what I understand, that OVA would be an hour long with no commercials. If Crunchyroll actually mentioned that, then it would need to be like an hour-and-a-half special if it aired on TV, kind of like episodes 4 and 10 of Hellsing Ultimate.
