ESPN's Top Rank Boxing made #3 for the night and lasted for 203 minutes, which if you do the math, is 3 hours 23 minutes. Since it began at 9:12 PM, that means it ended 3 hours 23 minutes later, at 12:35 AM. While it DID have the mother of all lead-ins in the Heisman Trophy Presentation stacking the deck, it seems people would rather watch real boxing than MegaloBoxing. BUT perhaps if Toonami breaks convention and creates a rerun promo for MegaloBox when it ends up in reruns at whatever timeslot it ends up in (probably 2 AM, but I'm just guessing here), then it MIGHT be worthwhile to pay a little extra to run it during boxing shows elsewhere on TV. That's not to say that it might not be beneficial on nights that TRB is shorter and doesn't go beyond 12 AM while MegaloBox is in premieres... There is also the fact that TRB doesn't air every week that might play in MegaloBox's favor if they were to try this. How many fans of real boxing do you think might at least tune in out of curiosity if they knew there was a boxing anime show?

Well folks, it finally happened. Dragon Ball Super under 500K... http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-12-8-2018.html But at least MegaloBox made the top 50, so "yay?" Meanwhile, Mob just barely missed it at #51 with 272K and a 0.12 in Adults 18-49 and JoJo an embarrassingly bad #62 with 244K and a 0.11. I'll be surprised if Black Clover cracked 300K at 1 AM, but it MIGHT have... ...oh look, we ALREADY have the rest of the picture for total viewers and Adults 18-49... https://programminginsider.com/saturday-final-ratings-army-navy-football-game-on-cbs-down-slightly-from-last-year-but-second-most-watched-edition-in-26-years/ 12/8/18 - Total Viewers Show Viewers Retention DBZ Kai 462,000 MHA 370,000 80.09% Shippuden 342,000 92.43% Boruto 366,000 107.02% DBS 498,000 136.07% MP100 272,000 54.62% MegaloBox 310,000 113.97% JoJo4 244,000 78.71% B.

Unlike what has been the norm ever since it moved up to 1 AM, Black Clover actually DROPPED slightly. The 2nd-highest retainer in both counts was MegaloBox, behind only the traditional lynchpin Dragon Ball Super, which is less of a spike than normal this week, which led to the block's next-to-last place finish. The late-night bump was given by Hunter x Hunter and AOT's rerun of all things, as it actually got the highest ratings in the back half! Will that pattern continue? This does NOT conclude this week's ratings report, as prime time 18-34s and 25-54 still remain shrouded in mystery, so I'll likely be back later tonight or tomorrow to wrap it up!

Yeah, I thought it would be 120, but apparently only the bottom 8 universes are involved.

This sounds bad, but we do have a serious obsession with chicken wings in this country (myself included). However, we STILL eat most of the other pieces of the chicken's musculature. Are we SURE the Chinese don't eat the whole damn shark? https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/dragon-ball-super/episode-90/.116070 Rating: "B+". But I'm sure if it was this version that were being evaluated, it would probably be higher, as apparently the animation was cleaner for the English dub than the original Japanese raws.

You mean "demilitarize," right? https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/boruto-naruto-next-generations/episode-10/.117158 Rating: "B+". Yep, this one is probably setup for something BIG next episode to finish off the calendar year!

The 3 OVAs were aired as a movie on Sci-Fi Channel's Ani-Monday.

The only "huge puss" in this show is Mt. Lady's when she uses her Quirk to go ginormous! https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/my-hero-academia/episode-29/.119200 Rating: "B". I think that might be lowballing it a bit; I was more impressed with this one than the other 2 episodes of this cour so far! One more to go before the end-of-year break!

Antis and believers get down; let's Pop together, whooo-oooa! Episode #4 - SWGP 2018 *cue lawsuit from Earth Wind & Fire!

So yeah, this was Episode #40: Old Story...

Because this needed to be SOMEWHERE in the thread! FIGHT ON TONIGHT (12/8) AT MIDNIGHT! ONLY TOONAMI!!

Wow, I find it hilarious that no one made this thread for almost 12 hours, since apparently this board lives in an inverse universe from the Nielsen Ratings, but whatever... DRAGON BALL SUPER EPISODE 90: STARING DOWN THE WALL TO BE OVERCOME! GOKU VS. GOHAN!! GET READY FOR THE ULTIMATE FATHER/SON SHOWDOWN! 11 PM TONIGHT (12/8), ONLY TOONAMI!!

Can Koichi and his buddy escape their poorly-illustrated hell? Find out tomorrow night (12/8) at 12:30, ONLY TOONAMI!!

Mob keeps on keepin' on, cuz that's all he knows how to do. 11:30 PM tomorrow (12/8), ONLY TOONAMI!!

Oh. So that means Gundam IBO S2 plays one episode, takes a break for Christmas eve eve eve, then comes back for New Year's Eve Eve Eve!?

Episode 10 - The Ghost Incident: The Investigation Begins! Join Boruto tonight (12/8) at 10:30 for a ghost hunt! ONLY TOONAMI!!

EPISODE #29: STAIN VS. U.A. STUDENTS The 3 Nomus attack! And judging from the title, Stain the Hero-Killer will also enter the fray! Can our heroes withstand the carnage? Find out at 9:30 PM tonight (12/8), ONLY TOONAMI!!

So yeah... https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/jojo-bizarre-adventure-diamond-is-unbreakable/episode-14/.103885 Rating: "B+." I guess I agree?

How in the hell are they gonna do a Boruto marathon!? Only 11 episodes of the show will be out by then...

This episode was just amazing! https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/mob-psycho-100/episode-5/.105157 Rating: "A+"! Mob is truly one of the best shows on the block, which is why it's a shame that it's so late to the party, but I'm willing to bet Toonami will dub-premiere Season 2, maybe even Durarara!! x2-style! We could be seeing it as soon as February, when Season 1 ends...

So yeah, this episode was an interesting side story, but still: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/dragon-ball-super/episode-89/.115784 Rating: "B-". Guess the "-" is for Roshi's pervy antics!

In my headcanon they exclusively use underground power lines, or maybe they've mastered solar power to a degree that puts us to shame?

So if it's not Bakugan, what in the hell could it possibly be!? https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/boruto-naruto-next-generations/episode-9/.116859 Rating: B. Good enough to want to see what's next!

Trying to get some reviews up before these episodes are irrelevant. Friday has to be the latest I've done it, but here we go: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/my-hero-academia/episode-28/.118890 Rating: B+. Things are certainly amping up!

Yes. Ok, so we're going back 15 episodes--what will that entail? We'll get to Episode 91 before the marathon, so going back 15 episodes would be 77-91. That's all of the Tournament of Power arc so far, right? I believe the last episode of the previous arc was 76, right?
