Danzo was an interesting character. But yeah, kinda useless... ...then again, so was Kisame...

Out of the frying pan--AND INTO THE FIRE!!! Until next week for the THRILLING-ISH CONCLUSION...? Oh right, we haven't checked in on Dr. Gel yet, have we??

That's what I thought. He also directed this show called Kurokami a while back and played this pint-sized wiener dog who only barks and pants!!

Note the outlines of all the characters. Instead of being in traditional black, they're red. It certainly gives a different feel to the characters!

He's one of the big dogs at NYAV post, who have been responsible for recent Toonami anime such as Gundam Unicorn and FLCL Progressive!

Episode 25: Dandy's Day In Court Parodies of other great works, like Futurama and Phoenix Wright abound!

Not much longer. She was gonna put HIM down, but then she came across a Sasuke tempted to put Karin down. This is certainly an interesting development, and even took my attention off My Hero Academia for a minute! It's almost unfair that the 2 feeds run both shows simultaneously!

That video was really cool! I like the ones that add special visual/audio effects to clips and soundbites. Last time we've seen anything quite like that was 1/17/15's "Get Busy Living" video! So 3.5 years, almost!

Well, this is interesting: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/black-clover/episodes-31-32/.131407 Episode 31 got a "D", but Episode 32 got a "B"!

Damn, ANOTHER cliffhanger!? This arc is a lot longer than I thought it would be. Of course, that seems to be the way Black Clover rolls!

Sekke's reaction to the Black Bulls made me LMAO! And Asta is about ready to beat this guy to a pulp!

I get the gist of JoJo...and fortunately I've got the West Coast feed to fall back on!

Hey, I finally made it--y'all miss me? Yup, Cheetu FAILED!

Is it just me or is that a reference to a song by The Who? Why should I care??

None YET. Generally they're not aware that WE'RE aware of the backdoor schedule. I'm sure that fanfare will be coming in early August, and people will wonder why they couldn't make this happen sooner. But I believe that there was some kind of tightrope walking this time to avoid the extensive use of "Voice of God" in the topicals that resulted from an earlier simuldub and giving the voice actors room to breathe, yet doing it early enough for FUNi's liking.

Well, I guess that makes it weird that Season 3 will get the red carpet rolled out for it on Toonami, while Season 2 ended up semi-buried at 12:30, since it contained LOTS of big reveals! If the anime just glosses over that, maybe it will be more accessible to an earlier audience? Either way, with FLCL staying at 11:30 for Alternative (and maybe a 22-minute Pillows concert special on 8/25??), that means were getting Attack on Titan Season 3 at either 10 PM, 10:30 PM, or 11 PM. The latest time possible is the earliest timeslot that an AOT episode has ever aired, 11 PM, and the earliest time possible is the earliest timeslot Toonami has ever aired in on Adult Swim, 10 PM. Will AOT steal DBS's thunder? Only time will tell. Another possibility is that something gets bumped back to 12 AM to give and later Boruto an even earlier timeslot, and that COULD be AOTS3. But I HIGHLY doubt that will happen (nor do I want it to happen, quite frankly). If Boruto gets an earlier timeslot than Midnight, the switcheroo should happen when it premieres and not before with PTE.

You have to look at the negative spaces. It shows no Toonami shows but R&M is gone and Family Guy is at 9:30, with only a single episode of The Venture Bros. between them. That means Toonami is expanding to 10 PM to welcome AOT, but the question is "in what timeslot"? 10 PM would be awesome but insane. 10:30 would be great as well, and would only displace DBS, and if you're gonna do that and put it in an earlier slot than ever on Toonami, 3 weeks from now would be the time to do it. But MHA would be displaceable as well IF they're going to show the recap on the 11th. It turns out that's not the plan though as they're skipping over Episode 13.5 "Hero Notebook". Kind of a shame considering that might not be a bad way to introduce the show to a prime time audience. But it's actually quite possible that after AOT Season 2 got snubbed and placed in a late-night timeslot, they'll really be rolling out the red carpet for Season 3 and premiering it at 10 PM! At least it's likely that it will get 10:30. Problem is, I probably won't see it for most of the season at that earlier hour because I'll likely be watching College Football instead and catching it on my DVR, while DBS just might end up during halftime. But if the earlier time works out better, I say go for it!

I wonder if this game will feature "vagina wedgies" in transformation sequences like the anime did, or that they'll censor that to reach a wider audience? And by the way, why in the hell are we talking about video games in a ratings thread anyway? Except maybe that a 2nd season might spin off from the game? That would be cool. Oh, and I have no doubt in my head that Toonami will feature a review of the game at some point early next year! Hopefully this fight will be showcased... BUTT, back to the ratings for Dragon Ball Super's still fledgling 8 PM strip, this time on Thursday... http://programminginsider.com/thursday-final-ratings-cbs-leads-in-most-key-prime-times-figures-fox-tops-among-adults-18-34/ Dragon Ball Super (repeat) (ADSM, 8:00 PM, 30 min.)• 0.466 million viewers (#75)• 0.28 HH (#73)• 0.14 A18-49 (#82)• 0.16 A18-34 (#49)• 0.13 A25-54 (#90) American Dad (repeat) (ADSM, 8:30 PM, 30 min.)• 0.526 million viewers (#66)• 0.33 HH (#67)• 0.20 A18-49 (#54)• 0.20 A18-34 (#31)• 0.20 A25-54 (#65) In the battle between strongmen Goku and Stan Smith, Smith wins again for the 2nd day in a row after Goku pulled a 3-day upset streak. And the weekly leaderboard shapes up like this: 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 #4 430,000 0.263 0.155 0.190 0.140 As the colored formatting suggests, most of the demos have actually grown slightly from week 3 to week 4, even if overall viewers and households have declined slightly, making week 4 the series' low point in the overall numbers so far. But week 4 is incomplete, with Friday left to go. Will Friday's numbers cause week 4 to rise up and challenge week 2's dominance? It should also be noted that week 2 was essentially a comedy of errors to prevent a high-stakes disaster with a few cameo battles from the likes of Buu and Gotenks, while week 3 was a more traditional battle-heavy batch of episodes after Goku gained his god form for the first time, with the exception of Friday's, which began the transition between the Beerus and Frieza arcs and saw Mr. Satan as the real star, though bumblingly so.
