But MHA and PTE REALLY dropped the ball, unfortunately. Hopefully since now MHA is leaving superhero slice-of-life and getting to some REAL conflict with All Might's old rivals, its ratings retention will improve as well! I'm also interested to see how reruns of FLCL2 do starting the week after next!

Well darn. Missed Episode 2, but ain't like I haven't seen it before!

In retrospect, maybe they SHOULD have pulled an OP with MHA and started with the recap episode that begins the 2nd season...

Ugh. The Adult Swim late-night line-up performed as follows: DRAGON BALL up a tick to 0.45, MY HERO ACADEMIA down a tick to 0.28/601K, FLCL up 0.02 to 0.27, POP TEAM EPIC at 0.21/437K, JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURES down a tick to 0.20, HUNTER X HUNTER down 0.03 to 0.18/386K, BLACK CLOVER down 0.04 to 0.18/377K, NARUTO down 0.02 to 0.21/379K, SPACE DANDY down 0.03 to 0.15/287K, COWBOY BEBOP down 0.03 to 0.12/245K, and LUPIN THE 3RD steady at 0.13/247K. 6/30/18 - Total Viewers Show Viewers Retention DBS 893,000 #DIV/0!

EPIC FAIL??? http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-6-30-2018.html Yeah, kinda. But it might do better if DBS can get back above 900K, let alone a million. Decent sampling in key demos, though I would have hoped FLCL/PTE had a little bit more girl power behind them. This part of the lineup has the potential to be the analogue of the Kill la Kill-SAO-InuYasha mini-block from 2015 (albeit with numbers a fraction that high), but that isn't what we're seeing. Shows with strong female leads have been few and far between on Toonami in recent years, and unfortunately this pairing will be very short-lived, at least in premieres. After next week FLCL2 goes into reruns and we only get to see the demographic performances of 3 shows for a while. Even so, all of Toonami's eligible shows made the Top 12, DBS won the night in 18-34 among cable originals, FLCL2 came in 3rd, Pop Team Epic 5th, and JoJo tied for 6th. Also, JoJo retained well in total viewers and key demos. And on that note, DeMarco says "Thank You!"

Do y'all think Toonami will air the recap episode??

It appears that Disney X.D. is getting somewhat serious about kid-oriented action in latenight/overnight hours. They're airing Pokémon @ 2 AM, and Beyblade Burst Evolution @ 2:30 AM every night, including Saturdays and Sundays. What are your thoughts on this?

Was hoping for MHA, because All Might is perfect for the 4th of July, but nope. It's Attack on Titan, and it's Episodes #01-#05 AGAIN. But this time you can see older posts on the stream's chat function! I have to believe the stream is going through some kind of metamorphosis right now...

Alright west coast, it's your turn. Don'tcha wanna dream again??

Oh, good. Some Yamcha action!! I don't even remember the last time HE'S appeared in the show!

The story continues in just 23.5 hours!! LATER!!

"Toilet Water!"

Of COURSE we get a promo for Dragon Ball Super during Dragon Ball Super!

Yep, it's fan-made. I wasn't sure at first, but I found it on Twitter referenced as fan-made, so that's confirmed!

Here we go...man this is crazy! EPISODE 1: "A Peacetime Reward: Who Gets The 100,000,000 Zeni??" Goku the farmer...

Well damn, they did prove me wrong! We've had Sessions #6-#10 streaming since Friday night!

I know no one asks me to post the reviews--but that wasn't my point. My point is that I probably won't be home to catch most of Toonami live this Saturday, so more likely than not, I won't be posting during Black Clover. Since BC is a recap episode, no harm no foul!

That's right! Don't miss it from the beginning, beginning this Monday night at 8 PM! ONLY...Adult Swim!

ANN was strangely critical of this episode, giving it only a "B": https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/flcl-progressive/episode-5/.133653

Well, that episode was a hoot! I just now saw it all the way through, and I couldn't stop laughing!! Kudos to the FUNimation crew for a really hilarious episode of Dragon Ball Super. Funnier than Pop Team Epic, even! And our trusty ANN reviewer seems to agree, because he gave it a "B+": https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/dragon-ball-super/episode-69/.109467 Can hardly wait for Beerus Baseball next week!

Everything's been pretty low-stakes character development so far, but that's about to change... https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/my-hero-academia/episode-8/.102385 ANN Rating "B+"

End of the line, Ringmaster!

Oh yeah...and earlier we saw a tiger getting its nails painted...

Oh yeah--paint that Tiger's nails pink!

EPISODE 5: The Magician's left Hand! YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE SECRETS!!!
