Sadly, it seems the 8 PM Gumball beat everything on Adult Swim that night in total viewers and households: Pre-Toonami CN Amazing World of Gumball (repeat) (TOON, 8:00 PM, 30 min.) • 0.620 million viewers (#49) • 0.35 HH (#53) • 0.18 A18-49 (#31) • 0.16 A18-34 (#23) • 0.19 A25-54 (#51) Amazing World of Gumball (repeat) (TOON, 8:30 PM, 30 min.) • 0.498 million viewers (#61) • 0.31 HH (#58) • 0.14 A18-49 (#64) • 0.13 A18-34 (#38) • 0.15 A25-54 (#71) Prime Time Toonami Dragon Ball Z Kai (repeat) (ADSM, 9:00 PM, 30 min.) • 0.470 million viewers (#66) • 0.30 HH (#64) • 0.16 A18-49 (#47) • 0.15 A18-34 (#30) • 0.16 A25-54 (#64) My Hero Academia (repeat) (ADSM, 9:30 PM, 30 min.) • 0.396 million viewers (#81) • 0.26 HH (#77) • 0.13 A18-49 (#71) • 0.12 A18-34 (#43) • 0.12 A25-54 (#86) Naruto: Shippuden (repeat) (ADSM, 10:00 PM, 30 min.) • 0.391 million viewers (#82) • 0.25 HH (#82) • 0.15 A18-49 (#58) • 0.15 A18-34 (#30) • 0.14 A25-54 (#75) Boruto: Naruto Next Generations (ADSM, 10:30 PM, 30 min.) • 0.363 million viewers (#86) • 0.24 HH (#84) • 0.15 A18-49 (#58) • 0.16 A18-34 (#23) • 0.14 A25-54 (#75) Read more: https://programminginsider.com/saturday-final-ratings-alabama-georgia-sec-championship-on-cbs-is-the-most-watched-college-football-regular-season-telecast-in-seven-years/

I think the Naruto hour should be 11 PM, not 10 PM, and the block should go DBZK -> MHA -> BC -> DBS leading-in to that. Only problem is Mob Psycho 100 Season 1 would get stuck at 1 AM for its last few episodes, and pissing off Crunchyroll at this point is unwise.

In case anyone cares, here's the ANN version: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2018-12-04/funimation-hulu-sign-first-look-streaming-deal-for-new-anime/.140359 Attack on Titan has been mentioned in some articles but I'd say it's an exception, along with Dragon Ball franchise shows and Black Clover. Hulu issues are probably keeping Tokyo Ghoul: RE off Toonami, and well, there goes any thoughts of an (unannounced) MHA Season 4 simuldub on Toonami, though they might have one-upped Hulu on that one. And of course there's still the off-chance we get Goblin Slayer and/or SSSS.Gridman early next year to replace Mob Psycho 100 and/or MegaloBox. That alliance with Crunchyroll means more Black Clover, of course. I'd expect there to be a long-form promo for Black Clover season 2, and damn, that show needs TOPICALS!

I just closed my Excel Spreadsheet, and then THIS happened--go figure: https://programminginsider.com/saturday-final-ratings-alabama-georgia-sec-championship-on-cbs-is-the-most-watched-college-football-regular-season-telecast-in-seven-years/ 12/1/18 - Total Viewers Show Viewers Retention DBZ Kai 470,000 MHA 396,000 84.26% Shippuden 391,000 98.74% Boruto 363,000 92.84% DBS 558,000 153.72% MP100 391,000 70.07% AOTS3 360,000 92.07% JoJo4 334,000 92.78% B.

Also, Black Clover is just begging to be on earlier. It should be leading-in to Super at 10 PM, while the Naruto hour moves to 11 and 11:30. But I don't expect this to actually happen until next year. BTW, if we have the regular lineup on December 22, then we get Season 2 of Black Clover to kick off 2019 Toonami--IF we get Season 2, since FUNimation DID just announce a new exclusive first look deal with Hulu. But I've gotta believe that applies to NEW series and franchises, not series and franchises currently airing on Toonami.

Just saw this episode, and I must say I'm quite confused as to WHAT exactly killed Tien Shinhan? I guess he was already mortally wounded (by losing his arm?) when he shot that last blast at Nappa!

After TWO FULL WEEKS of the SAME 5 EPISODES of Lupin the 3rd Part 4, the stream finally changed. As of Monday morning, it was playing Black Clover Pages 35-39, which if you're keeping track is the next 5 following where we left off from the last time Black Clover streamed in October. I guess THIS is the new norm now.

Wow, ONE post for Episode #3? That has to be some kind of record, even for a rerun discussion! I'm gonna have to start posting in all the rerun threads before the shows so I have somewhere to post episode numbers!

Last week Naruto Shippuden got a 0.10 in Adults 18-34. That's about 68K viewers. At 10 PM. I'm not saying every show needs to do over 200K in 18-34 (Hell, not even Super gets THAT anymore) but I'm thinking maybe higher than 100K (0.15) is the new benchmark? At least all the "cable originals" did do that this week.

Well, here's the last report of an epoch: the Age Before MegaloBox. All eligible shows made the Top 50 and I believe also improved in key demos: http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-12-1-2018.html#comment-198968 Yup, I'm right. Boruto, DBS, and Mob all improved markedly over last week in Adults 18-34 and Adults 18-49. Only JoJo held steady.

I wonder what happened to give us an on-air preview this week... https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/black-clover/episode-48/.136412 So "B+," huh? I felt like that deserved an "A!"

Last episode next week. Dec. 15 Gundam IBO returns!

Been on for a minute, but... Episode 25: World Dissection, Part 1

SCYTHE OF DOOOOOOOOOM!!!

Damn, right back to Narrator × Narrator...

Whoa, Vanessa''s Backstory!?

Guess who is back? Best show time!!

Guess who is back? Best show time!!

Guess who is back? Best show time!!

This guy kinda reminds me of Unkei from Scryed!

SPIDER!!!

This feels about as close as Jojo gets to HxH!

Crap, a little late on this... #39: Pain! Arguably best action in the half-season!

Finally watching Toonami tonight, but in a bar and with no sound! From what I saw this was indeed a great episode! Damn, my DVR BETTER get all this!

I mean, like, I'm doing "No Nut November," and I almost messed up and creamed myself at this news!

Joseph, Jotaro, and Josuke soldier on in search of the secret of Stands! 12:30 AM The night of 12/1, ONLY TOONAMI!!
