I can't speak for the new Unlimited Blade Works series, but I had no trouble following the Heaven's Feel movie after having had only seen Fate/Zero. Fate/Zero DOES have its problems (characters pacing around during long scenes of dialog, for example), but for the most part, it's the shit, and easy to understand since it's the beginning point.

The best thing that came out of last night's episode was the debut (I believe) of the My Hero Academia marathon promo!

Well, THIS happened: http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-8-25-2018.html Attack on Titan did almost 200K better at 11:30 PM than the FLCL Progressive rerun did in that timeslot last week, but otherwise, only slight gains in total viewers. All slots also did at least a little better in key demographics, with the pacesetters DBS in 18-34 (+0.09), and AOT's premiere in 18-49. AOT was even well over 300K 18-49 at 11:30, something we haven't seen at 11:30 since June 30th.

In terms of Dragon Ball Super weeknight ratings, it has actually been more or less bipolar, as it both boasts the highest ratings in Week 1 and carries the burden of the lowest ratings in Week 8 in both Total Viewers and Adults 25-54, and all the others are 2nd either from the top or bottom: DOW Max of Viewers Max of HH MON 455,000 0.28 TUE 483,000 0.31 WED 456,000 0.29 THU 540,000 0.32 FRI 576,000 0.31 DOW Min of Viewers Min of HH MON 363,000 0.23 TUE 382,000 0.24 WED 378,000 0.25 THU 399,000 0.27 FRI 351,000 0.24 DOW Max of 18-49 Max of 18-34 Max of 25-54 MON 0.16 0.19 0.15 TUE 0.19 0.23 0.18 WED 0.18 0.22 0.16 THU 0.19 0.26 0.18 FRI 0.21 0.24 0.19 DOW Min of 18-49 Min of 18-34 Min of 25-54 MON 0.14 0.13 0.11 TUE 0.14 0.14 0.11 WED 0.12 0.13 0.11 THU 0.12 0.16 0.13 FRI 0.13 0.14 0.11

Lowest total viewer total yet for ANY day of the week, but at least the Cleveland Show actually LOST total viewers and tied in everything else!

Also, note that the standard to make Top 25 in 18-34 was apparently lower on Friday than other days of the week. Of course, Friday's dead-last status in week 8 had a disastrous effect on its day-of-week average: Dragon Ball Super Day-Of-Week Averages DOW P2+ HH 18-49 18-34 25-54 MON 412,000 0.259 0.148 0.173 0.131 TUE 428,375 0.274 0.163 0.189 0.143 WED 423,750 0.274 0.154 0.176 0.139 THU 463,625 0.293 0.161 0.197 0.149 FRI 448,250 0.275 0.165 0.184 0.154 Ouch. Thursday now leads in total viewers, households, and adults 18-34. And as for week 8 as a whole, it was not so great, as its averages were last or next-to-last in every category among the first 8 weeks of DBS's fledgling weeknight run: Dragon Ball Super M-F Weekly Avgs Wk P2+ HH 18-49 18-34 25-54 #1 453,800 0.283 0.150 0.173 0.143 #2 456,000 0.288 0.174 0.216 0.148 #3 438,800 0.264 0.152 0.184 0.132 #4 421,200 0.258 0.150 0.186 0.134 #5 415,800 0.272 0.158 0.178 0.146 #6 454,200 0.288 0.164 0.180 0.158 #7 441,600 0.282 0.166 0.190 0.148 #8 400,200 0.262 0.150 0.158 0.134 Now that this unpleasantness is behind us, hopefully Week 9 will be just fine? But with Gumball as its lead-in once again instead of We Bare Bears, which Weeks 6 & 7 enjoyed the benefit from, it doesn't seem likely...

Wow, no discussion tonight, as the 6th Universe Tournament Arc comes to a close, and hinted at events to come on Toonami's premiere run on Saturday nights! But for now, we move on to THIS tomorrow night: It's hard to keep a secret from a Saiyan, especially one as battle-obsessed as Goku!

Maybe it was a little of both? Censorship achieved through Engrish?? The thing about the HF.I.L was that it was probably inconvenient in the dialog but convenient on-screen. The shirts on the backs of Gozu and Mezu both said "HELL", which had to be doctored so that the bottom parts of the letters "E" and "L" were removed and it read "HF.I.L". Bet THAT wasn't cheap!

I'm not sure it was censorship in her case, but rather, as I explained above, "Engrish mistransration!" It's not blatant as how Mr. Satan became "Hercule." The only thing those have in common is the mouth movements are similar!

"Bulla" is actually NOT a "censored" form of "Bra;" it's actually just ENGRISH for "Bra!" Think about it: the Japanese would pronounce "Bra" as "Bu-Ra" or "Bu-La"! It's actually similar to "Giru" in GT; the animation of that series actually spelled his name "GILL." "Gi-Ru" is just how the Japanese would say "GILL!" But anyway, I don't think her name has been announced yet in Super. They MIGHT just go with "Bra," and maybe her middle name will be "Zeer?"

Have you considered he might be Bisexual??

Hell yeah! F*CK Round-Up, and ALL HAIL THE WHO!!!

No, Jackass, please don't rape Historia!!! THAT was Linked Horizon!? I wasn't expecting that! Oh, nice!!

I just noticed they DID change something!! The pre-Toonami schedule is now THIS: 8 PM Cleveland Show 8:30 Family Guy x2 9:30 Rick & Morty Post-Toonami at 4 AM doesn't seem to have changed. Hopefully this leads to better ratings!

...oops.

SOMEONE needed to post this. Bang.

It's now on earlier than any Toonami show premiere has been yet in the history of Toonami on [as], but somehow we just can't seem to get into it, as it just seems to be a speed bump to Dragon Ball Super. Or maybe it's just that these aren't dub premieres, and not "all new" as this promo proclaims: Whatever the reason, it's on at a relatively new time, 10 PM, which is less than 8 hours from now. Plus we're having a Season 1 Marathon next week, so there's that. Enjoy...

WHO YA GONNA CALL?? 12 Midnight tomorrow, ONLY TOONAMI!!

As expected, the Friday night advance happened, and now the stream is playing the last 5 episodes (8-12; #20-#24 overall) of Tokyo Ghoul: Root A.

THURSDAY ratings: http://programminginsider.com/thursday-final-ratings-return-of-jersey-shore-family-vacation-on-mtv-dominates-all-cable-telecasts-in-key-adult-demos/ Dragon Ball Super (repeat) (ADSM, 8:00 PM, 30 min.) • 0.455 million viewers (#75) • 0.28 HH (#76) • 0.17 A18-49 (#56) • 0.20 A18-34 (#17) • 0.14 A25-54 (#84) American Dad (repeat) (ADSM, 8:30 PM, 30 min.) • 0.475 million viewers (#73) • 0.29 HH (#75) • 0.18 A18-49 (#54) • 0.19 A18-34 (#23) • 0.18 A25-54 (#64) Dragon Ball Super DID beat American Dad in 18-34, but so far this is still the worst week for 18-34 to date.

So basically it'll be like what we get from the Toonami stream??? Except that's *5* episodes over and over, but at least they're sequential...usually.

I had to put my Birthday in to enter that site u jackwagon!!!

This episode will be interesting, as it will be using a new OP, ED, and more importantly, a more muted art style, as you can probably tell from the promo! Dragon Ball Super only has one season, but you might say at this point we're in the 2nd half of the show!

Tomorrow night at 12:30, we're gonna party like it's 1999!!! ONLY TOONAMI!!

Funny, Grand Zeno shows up right at the end of this episode, and Grand Zeno will be featured Saturday night. Why couldn't they air THAT promo!?!

Last Saturday's Live+3 ratings are in, and they're really interesting... http://programminginsider.com/live3-weekly-ratings-american-woman-leads-all-telecasts-among-adults-18-49-percentage-gains/ My Hero Academia (R) (ADSM, Sat., 8/18/18 10:00 PM) • Live+Same Day: 0.567 million viewers / 0.307 million adults 18-49 (0.24 adults 18-49 rating) • Live+3 Day: 0.664 million viewers (+0.097M; +17.11%) / 0.348 million adults 18-49 (0.27 adults 18-49 rating) (+0.041M; +0.03 rating; +13.36%) Dragon Ball Super (ADSM, Sat., 8/18/18 10:30 PM) • Live+Same Day: 0.705 million viewers / 0.416 million adults 18-49 (0.32 adults 18-49 rating) • Live+3 Day: 1.012 million viewers (+0.307M; +43.55%) / 0.622 million adults 18-49 (0.48 adults 18-49 rating) (+0.206M; +0.16 rating; +49.52%) MHA didn't get much of a boost, but DBS DID, and probably more of one than usual, because it's had a little trouble cracking a million lately. Also, nearly DOUBLE as many 18-49s watched DBS eventually as did MHA! It will be interesting to see if this trend continues!
