Episode #48 (Season 3, Episode 11): Bystander ALL HAIL QUEEN HISTORIA!!! Midnight tomorrow (11/3), ONLY TOONAMI!!!

Episode 002: Doubts About Youth/The Telepathy Club Appears! The supernatural showdown continues! 11:30 PM tomorrow night (11/3) Only Toonami!!!

Which is a shame, because I believe Season 3 to be a lot better than Season 2, since a lot of the show's biggest mysteries are actually being revealed, though to be fair most of them were HINTED at toward the end of Season 2. But the only thing Season 2 did really well was the Bertholdt/Reiner reveal.

EDIT: Yep, that IS an improvement. It struggled to make the Top 20 last week--this week at #14! The current 2-hours-reconquered prime time rank peak is #12 by Boruto in Week 2, since we don't have uncompromised data for Week 1. Also, all PT shows improved in 18-34 except MHA, which declined somewhat. Also, Toonami gets a movie lead-in tomorrow, and it's quite an interesting choice: Night At The Museum: Secret Of The Tomb. Not really sure what to make of this one; it's live action, right? If only CN could lead-into Toonami and [as] with superhero movies once again...

You may be right, but at least now Toonami begins at 9 PM. That's a garbage timeslot, but strangely quite watchable. Yes, I know they're up against College Football Rivalry Week, but that isn't the Parade's key demographic. Only thing is, Super right now isn't in its best batch of episodes. A marathon of 14 episodes now would go back to post-Zamasu filler.

Oh yeah, Episode 7 was on 4 years ago, wasn't it??? This episode served an interesting purpose, and proved Major really didn't give a damn about his charges. And oh yeah, Seras completed her transformation.

The first 6 episodes were pretty darn good. After that, it was just a whole lot of "huh?" And then the twist at the end... Yet, maybe because I still liked its style, I stuck with it and saw it through to the end.

I'll bet Toonami gets mentioned at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and a Dragon Ball Super marathon is programmed for November 24th. Sorry, AOT--a balloon of the Colossal Titan would have been too scary for the kids!

It didn't EXACTLY replace it--Anime Network STILL exists as a VOD service on DirecTV.

What are you talking about? This is literally only the 2nd week it's happened! And Shippuden has NEVER been the #2 show before!

Last week was worse on both counts. Man, I never thought I'd see the day when a silly filler episode of Naruto Shippuden got the 2nd-highest 18-49 ratings for the night, Boruto came in 3rd, and literally EVERYTHING else was under 200K. But we had about the same thing last week, only the bump was before, rather than after, and the floor was really, really low. This week, it wasn't quite as low. When it comes to Boruto, I'd say it's a marathon, not a sprint. It's only Episode 5 of a LOOOONG series that needs a chance to establish itself in that timeslot. That said, DBS WAS doing better at 10:30 so a switcheroo (with N:S and BC also trading places) MIGHT not be a terrible idea. But then again, we've got Megalobox coming soon, and I'm thinking now it will be November 17th to replace Attack on Titan, though Toonami hasn't made an official announcement yet, and that would be moving it up QUITE a bit, though they DID do something similar with the original SAO when they suddenly and unexpectedly lost Thundercats. Also, count on Attack on Titan Season 3 Part 1 to get a rerun replacing Lupin, I'd say, though SOMETHING needs to replace One-Punch Man on the same night as AOT's mid-season finale. For that, maybe Pop Team Epic, or hell, even Gundam Unicorn? Alternatively, Toonami COULD double-up on Lupin at 2:30 on November 10th and 17th to blow through it, marathon Season 3 Part 1 of AOT on Thanksgiving Weekend from 9 PM-3 AM, finish off the night with another double-Jack, and THEN start AOT from the beginning doubled-up for a full hour sometime between 2 AM and 4 AM on December 1st! If they're still looking for something to do with those early episodes, and a weeknight run isn't an option, that might be the next best thing. Nothing like some man-eating-Titans to raise the back end and greet people coming home from nightclubs! Plus if they choose 3 AM, it would get the benefit of delayed viewing even if Jack sinks the block at 2:30. As for JoJo, it was a really weird one-off episode that most fans might find hard to stomach (yes, pun intended!). I'd say JoJo's biggest problem is it clashes stylistically with Attack on Titan. But once that's gone, I would move Mob Psycho back to Midnight. That might make the block "flow" better. Megalobox, if we're getting it as a direct replacement for AOT, just makes sense after Dragon Ball Super.

If you thought Mob Psycho 100 was going to save Toonami from its current ratings tailspin, THINK AGAIN: http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-10-27-2018.html So where the hell is Mob? OH, THERE HE IS... #60 MOB PSYCHO 100 ADULT SWIM 11:30 PM 30 0.14 345 Well, at least he beat Ducktales on Disney in 18-49. And just for the hell of it, here's how JoJo did: #75 JOJOS ADV: DIAMOND UNBRK ADULT SWIM 12:30 AM 30 0.11 264 I'm sure a lot of this is attributed to the Saturday synagogue shooting since so many news programs did a bit better than usual, even if they didn't pull off the knockout punch they did with Kavanaugh's confirmation fiasco 3 weeks ago, but MAN, Toonami sure has seen better days!

No comments at all about "Hell Valley!?" Y'all disappoint me...

Attack on Titan is out, Pop Team Epic is in. This time it's episodes #6-#10! So spend your Halloween with Hellshake Yano, or something...

The ANN review is equal parts praise and criticism. And the result of that is... https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/black-clover/episode-44/.135306 Rating: "C". C'mon now, the action was good...

I agree, and so did our trusty ANN reviewer! https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/jojo-bizarre-adventure-diamond-is-unbreakable/episode-10/.102866 Rating: "A". Even better than the Olive Garden!! What happened in this episode caught us off-guard somehow, but it really wasn't all that unusual. Remember, Okuyasu was actually a bad guy himself just 7 episodes ago...

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/attack-on-titan/episode-47/.137220 Rating: "B". Attack on Titan continues to be "pretty good". This episode was backstory-heavy, but I would have at least given it an "A-", if only because Queen Historia was a sight to see!

All hail Mike McFarland, the iron man of Toonami, who appears in no less than half the shows!

Yeah, I gotta admit that's pretty damn bad! No ANN review this week; they didn't review until Episode 2 for some reason.

So this was the episode in which the infamous Jiren finally makes his first appearance??? https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/dragon-ball-super/episode-85/.114564 Rating: "B". Not surprisingly given for this inane nonsense!

This is a great show, but at this point it's on so damn early I almost never watch it live! https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/my-hero-academia/episode-24/.117293 Rating: "B+". Bit of a misstep this week, but next week should bring it and then some with Todoroki vs. Bakugo, which is an awesome concept in its own right, but we'll probably also get a little more serious plot advancement with Not Spawn a.k.a. Hero Killer Stain.

I'm almost willing to bet it's happening early next year!

Could Isekai Quartet be coming to Toonami?? https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2018-10-27/isekai-quartet-anime-relay-promo-video-features-overlord-re-zero-characters/.138732 It would certainly be an interesting way to test the waters on these 4 franchises...

I'm also watching AOT which tonight was mostly--more feels! Man, feels for Kenny--didn't see that coming!

Sorry if y'all waited 30 minutes to see this one--I'll fix the OP. Episode 21: To Hear You Sing Again This episode DOES have action, but it's kind of a downer...
