OH REALLY!?!?!

No problem, bud. You really didn't miss much. Though there were a few 4th-wall-breaking laughs in there!

ZA WARIO!? Nah, but in all seriousness, I'm looking forward to this!

Holy shit, you're right! Even the low point of 378K dwarfs the Midnight hour of Toonami these days!

Wow, this really IS pretty much just a glorified recap episode! I thought there was more new content than this, but no dice...

Buu took a little bit of coaxing... Well, OK, more than a little! But what a selfless statement, giving his wish to Mr. Satan!

HAHA, This episode is funny; the narrator got frustrated!!

EPISODE 30: A Run-Through For The Competition! Who Are The Last Two Members?

How was it cut last time? Probably not though, since last time it was at 11:30, and this time it'll be at 10 PM!

It's 1.5 years--hell, not even that at this point! And this crap is NOT corroborated on Anime News Network!

WHO'S HERE FOR EPISODE 30??? It's got A LOT of recappy stuff, but at least Krillin impersonating everyone was pretty funny!

I think that's what I like most about Dragon Ball Super--it turns the show structure completely on its head. ShenRon was an omnipotent force in the original, Kai and even earlier in Super, but in this arc, he's dismissed as a "useless lizard" by Beerus!

Interesting--I DO laugh at the jokes!

Update: they ain't gonna try that. It won't be 13 episodes squeezed into 12 30-minute slots after all: https://twitter.com/HeartofSword75/status/1027678731723268096

When did you "just" say that? However, I agree. It should probably be better off kept there. The only time Toonami ever has anything to say even tangentially related is during homilies, which usually still tend to be apolitical. http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-wednesday-cable-originals-network-finals-8-8-2018.html Well, We Bare Bears did pretty good (560K/0.13 18-49) at 7 PM on Cartoon Network. Dragon Ball Super lost a lot of total viewers but tied it in 18-49 an hour later: http://programminginsider.com/wednesday-final-ratings-dr-pimple-popper-on-tlc-is-cables-top-regularly-scheduled-original-telecast-among-adults-18-49-for-third-straight-week/ Dragon Ball Super (repeat) (ADSM, 8:00 PM, 30 min.) • 0.378 million viewers (#89) • 0.26 HH (#83) • 0.13 A18-49 (#83) • 0.14 A18-34 (#44) • 0.13 A25-54 (#92) American Dad (repeat) (ADSM, 8:30 PM, 30 min.) • 0.510 million viewers (#71) • 0.34 HH (#72) • 0.23 A18-49 (#35) • 0.26 A18-34 (#16) • 0.23 A25-54 (#51) ...and then it got utterly destroyed by American Dad.

Wow, nice! Hope it does well! As for the idea that it would feature NO commercials, well that's just not true. But fewer commercials and bizarre runtimes, yep. All of those episodes combined have a runtime of about 22x13=286 minutes. The time period is 30x12=360 minutes, which still leaves almost an hour and a quarter total for commercials.

I think he's probably saving it for the show that airs on the first Saturday in November in 2020. Or when the Orange One decides to slap a 50% tariff on anime exports because he obsessively enjoys American Dad--that would probably do it. (Note: the latter scenario is highly unlikely.)

Nope, turned out to be sometime Wednesday. That "new" show is none other than FLCL Progressive! Unbelivably, even IT can't break the stream's strict 5-episodes-at-a-time code, since only the first 5 episodes are streaming--NOT the 6th and final episode!

Cool! This thread finally got a "HOT!" designation! How appropriate! Next time, tomorrow night (ignore the Next Saturday part):

You mean of the ED? That was the English version. I'm willing to bet MHA will also get this treatment for Season 2 now that it's soon to be at 10 PM, but we'll see...

Did the original Toonami run have these English EDs? Some of them feel like they're new! Well, that's it for tonight! Until tomorrow night, TRAIN HARD! NICE! MHA Topical!

Too bad I don't think Dragon Ball Super ever had a beach episode. But there MIGHT be one coming up. That would have been a good excuse to get them out of those stuffy robes! And Vados DOES appear to be pretty well-endowed, so it would be interesting.

This is where that little bit of exposition in episode 25 was going.

This is what happens when 2 destroyers fight--all HELL BREAKS LOOSE!
