Yeah. But at least DBS won the night this time!! https://programminginsider.com/saturday-final-ratings-penguins-flyers-on-nbc-is-most-watched-nhl-regular-season-non-winter-classic-telecast-in-five-years/

https://variety.com/2018/tv/news/blade-runner-anime-series-adult-swim-crunchyroll-1203047083/ Seems to indicate it won't be complete until AFTER the new Ghost In The Shell Netflix series, which probably means 2020.

Two steps ahead, one step back: Wait, where's MegaloBox? Oh, THERE it is, down at #52 with 330K total viewers and a 0.14 in Adults 18-49: http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-2-23-2019.html Note that MegaloBox got knocked out of the ring by 2 rerun episodes of King of Queens on Nick-At-Nite. Looks like a low blow to me, but the ShowBuzzDaily refs allowed it. Also, it still did better than its first 2 rounds last year. (These boxing puns doing anything for ya?)

You may think you've seen a good night for trending, but you ain't seen NOTHING yet: http://toonamifaithful.com/toonami-trending-rundown-for-february-23-24-2019/ Get all that? No?? Well, here's the breakdown: United States Trends: #Toonami [#4] Krillin (From Dragon Ball Super) [#9] #Boruto [#8] Sarada (From Boruto) [#14] #MegaloBox [#6] #JoJosBizarreAdventure [#6] Yoshikage Kira (From JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure) [#17] #BlackClover [#4] #HunterXHunter [#2] Pitou (From Hunter x Hunter) [#7] #Shippuden [#5] That episode of Hunter x Hunter DESERVED to kick ass in trending, and it DID!! This is the 2nd time a Toonami show has reached the #2 trend this year; the other time was with Shippuden back on 1/12-1/13/19! Also, if you're keeping score at home, or if you just scroll up, you may notice that #HunterXHunter has trended for an astounding ELEVEN weeks in a row now! Can it keep its momentum going? Watch it at 2:30 AM this Saturday night on Toonami and find out next week!!

Ohhh, so THAT'S who she is! Man, she REALLY let him HAVE IT early in the 5 Kage arc! https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/boruto-naruto-next-generations/episode-19/.119941 Grade: "B+". Hopefully the words of this reviewer come to pass, and more people get into Boruto in this arc. I'm currently quite intrigued!! Man, ending my social life at 10 PM for most of the next few weeks is gonna be tough!

It really showed! I hope she got tons of compliments for it in person at my local con, at which she was a guest. And the episode aired at 1:30 AM my time, so maybe, just maybe, people watched it after getting done with the Rave??

It's growing on me, though it admittedly doesn't make much sense. Kinda like the "magical girl" ending of the Android/Cell Saga of DBZ Kai. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/dragon-ball-super/episode-99/.118898 Rating: "B-". Krillin managed to take out a few fighters, but it doesn't prevent him from being the "Weakest Link" in Universe 7. Hopefully for the Tournament of Power arc as a whole, this episode is similar.

Well, they seem to be showing the schedule promo more often, especially during The Boondocks at 1 AM weeknights Monday-Thursday. That ain't a bad tradeoff!!

So you're telling me season 2 ENDED and Season 3 BEGAN with a clipshow!? https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/my-hero-academia/episode-39/.130101 Well I'll be. Thank goodness we were spared from THAT! But what's equally hilarious is that the last episode of Season 2 is numbered 39 as well on ANN... Oh, wait a minute... HERE'S what's going on: reviews of the same episode were listed BOTH with S2 AND S3: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=18485 If you go down to Episode Reviews, you see the S3 episode accidentally listed with the S2 episodes (note the difference in dates), and THAT'S what confused me!!

Yeah, I'm glad Toonami kept Hunter x Hunter around long enough to be able to showcase that, although it ended up buried at 2:30 AM! But this finale of the Chimera Ant Arc has indeed had some amazing moments!!

https://programminginsider.com/saturday-final-ratings-nba-all-star-saturday-night-on-tnt-rebounds-a-bit-from-last-year/ There has been an update, but still no Boondocks or Black Dynamite, so I have requested them! Ask and ye shall receive, but they prove that we probably won't be getting 4-5 AM back anytime soon: The Boondocks (R) (Adult Swim, late Sat. 2/16/2019 4:00 AM, 30 min.) • 0.279 million viewers • 0.12 A18-49 • 0.12 A25-54 Black Dynamite (R) (Adult Swim, late Sat. 2/16/2019 4:30 AM, 30 min.) • 0.233 million viewers • 0.11 A18-49 • 0.11 A25-54 Venture Brothers (R) (Adult Swim, late Sat. 2/16/2019 5:00 AM, 30 min.) • 0.209 million viewers • 0.10 A18-49 • 0.09 A25-54 Home Movies (R) (Adult Swim, late Sat. 2/16/2019 5:30 AM, 30 min.) • 0.205 million viewers • 0.09 A18-49 • 0.09 A25-54

Hiroyuki Sawano is a musical genius!! This is also what made Gundam Unicorn/Narrative soundracks pop!! But what really needs to be pasted here is THIS...

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/sword-art-online-alicization/episode-3/.138447 Grade: "B". Next episode, we finally get some ACTION!!

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/megalobox/episode-9/.132314 Grade: "A". Damn right, this was an excellent episode!! It's weird that neither Naruto show had the new logo clip, but both MegaloBox and Hunter X Hunter DID!

I'm not so sure that's right. We may be skipping the clipshow and going right to Season 3 next week!

Guess everyone fell asleep?? Well, this concludes it for this discussion. We'll have a new thread next week!!

Episode #49: Night Of The Battle To Retake The Wall!!

I thought we had one more week left until Season 3, but I guess not. Still, this confuses me. Apparently, there IS a 39th episode still in Season 2... https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=18485 But I digress... https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/my-hero-academia/episode-38/.122089 Grade: "A". Second only to JoJo in my book for Best in Show tonight!!

For some weird reason, I have a feeling he may be doing that when no one's watching... ...but since there's more to life than that, there's still a story!

No, but I was pretty drunk! By contrast, only 3 beers tonight, and one was around sundown!

Well, THIS review isn't exactly positive... https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/black-clover/episode-58/.139551 Grade: "C-". I would at least have left off the "-", or maybe even gone for a "+"...

Of COURSE Witch-dom is matriarchical!! I pretty much agree!

Looks like Shelly in that one South Park episode! "...TUUUUUUUUURDS!!!!!!!!"

You really didn't miss that much. I mean, if they're gonna pare down the number of promos they do, they should make them longer again!

He'd yank his own penis off with that kind of arm power!
