Maybe this is a back-handed attempt to kill it by playing their weakest card and just letting it die a slow death? According to the viewer tracker it's down to 86 viewers. Nah, I'm not that pessimistic. They must like Gundam enough to throw it on for multiple weeks when they're too busy with other stuff, such as the Adult Swim Festival. I feel that the day that makes the most sense for them to change the whole thing, if there's gonna be only one day a week, is Friday, when they upload the new Pre-Flight, anyway. Also, this show DOES have something thematic in common with this week's Pre-Flight, I guess. It's all about airplane movies.

Well it's official: now Gundam Unicorn and FLCL Progressive are tied for longest takeover of the Marathon Stream, at 11 days each!

Well, this sure is interesting...

Also, by my math that 0.14 in 18-34 for My Hero Academia is a ludicrously low 95K. If that's still satisfactory, then great, but the skeptic in me wonders how much longer this can last...

So Puss In Boots ended early and they had to use an episode of TTGo as filler!? I'll be darned. It apparently didn't show up on on-screen guides, nor does anything of the sort appear to be the case for this week's Road Chip.

But this is the first time Toonami has ever started [as]. It just HAS to get better from here, right? Alvin & The Chipmunks 3 might succeed where Puss N' Boots failed? If CN can get a blockbuster movie to end its extended broadcast day, Toonami's ratings SHOULD skyrocket. I guess we'll just wait and see if it ever happens. Even if it doesn't, moving FLCL to a later timeslot (like 1:30) would probably suffice. I'd also put Black Clover at 10 right after MHA and use it to lead-in to Dragon Ball Super at 10:30, swapping it and Boruto, and having Naruto Shippuden at 11:30.

Well, at least it looks like we avoided the sub-200Ks: "Adult Swim’s line-up performed as follows: DRAGON BALL at 0.25 and 0.17/536K compared to last week’s 0.30 and 0.21/622K, MY HERO ACADEMIA down 0.07 to 0.14/415K, NARUTO down 0.07 to 0.15/364K, BORUTO down 0.06 to 0.17, FLCL down 0.02 to 0.15, ATTACK ON TITAN down 0.02 to 0.16, JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURES down 0.04 to 0.13, BLACK CLOVER down 0.04 to 0.14/300K, HUNTER X HUNTER down 0.03 to 0.14/263K, ONE PUNCH MAN down 0.02 to 0.14/269K, LUPIN THE 3RD down 0.01 to 0.12/229K, COWBOY BEBOP down 0.01 to 0.12/223K, and SAMURAI JACK steady at 0.13/231K."

Well, the Kavanaugh confirmation debacle pretty much destroyed Toonami's ratings in a way we haven't seen since Trump's inauguration in January of last year: http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-10-6-2018.html DBS #28 and a ludicrously low 536K, and the rest of the eligible shows didn't even make the Top 50. Not like I needed another reason to hate the GOP, but there ya go.

Believe it or not, Gundam Unicorn is STILL streaming! So I guess that means we're going Tuesday night through Tuesday night now? Also, it never advanced. Still episodes 1-5.

This is why they should pick up Gundam Thunderbolt--since each episode is only 18 minutes long, they'd actually have space for long-ass videos during the show. But I assume the video was during Shippuden this week? It doesn't seem to mess things up THAT badly though. The worst was that Sand Whale & Me weirdness which bumped every show up 5 minutes.

Just for the record, I probably won't be watching this show while it's live very much, unless you count the west coast stream. Almost every week is a College Football game I'm interested in at that time. If this experiment pans out and Toonami stays at 9 PM after football season, that will probably change.

Dammit all to hell I fell asleep during the episode. After next week, I think Bebop needs to take a rest.

We're in the home stretch--REAL FOLK BLUES PART 1!!!

This has so many parallels to the original it's not even funny!!!

FUCKIN' MONKEYS!!!

Ok, so we've been watching... Episode 18: The Murdering Marionette... And Lupin and his gang are totally at odds!

Lightning Max is a wuss!

Sonic: "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU HUNTER X HUNTER FANS!? STOP CALLING ME SHOOT!!!"

OH MAN!!!!

I finally get why Noelle gets so much screentime in the EDs in this arc!

In this episode, looks like Noelle finally gets her lady ballz!

FUCK YOU ROD!!!!!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DON'T DO IT HISTORIA!!!

WHAT THE FUCKING HELL!?!

This is kinda like the up in the trees episode from Season 2...
