Toonami is straight-up killin' it compared to what Chiller's 3-and-done Wednesday night block was doing 3 years ago, when Toonami was killin' it on a whole 'nother level with the conclusion (no pun intended) of KILL la KILL. But yeah, faded glory compared to those halcyon days, but still doing well. DBS almost 800K, and Hellshake Yano and the conclusion of Stardust Crusaders still over 400K: It's not all good news though. DBS actually did 0.05 WORSE in 18-34 than last week; its second-lowest 18-34 number yet since it has occupied 10:30, and that is somewhat troubling. That said, it was STILL the #2 original in 18-34, and of course at 0.24 and up a tick to 0.25 respectively, PTE and JoJo did better than either show has since 7/7 (JoJo since 6/23). By my math, among cable originals, JoJo tied for 4th place with TNT's PGA behind Live PD, NFL, and DBS, and PTE checked in at 6th place. On the 18-49 front, DBS is up 0.02 from last week, and both PTE and JoJo are up from last week by 0.04 and 0.05 respectively, and furthermore have their highest ratings since 6/30. It will be interesting to see how all the other shows that WEREN'T designated cable originals ended up doing, and we shall see soon!

Yeah, but we might actually be caught up to Japan by Part 6 "Stone Ocean". I've HEARD Part 6 is about TWICE as much of a departure from the first 5 as Part 3 was from Part 2, but I don't know for sure. Sure looking 4ward to Part 4 though! (see what I did there?)

I don't feel Battle Tendency was all that rushed, but Phantom Blood was indeed majorly rushed! If anything, the pacing in 2014-15 Stardust Crusaders was a little too SLOW, which makes it surprising that the fight scenes between Jotaro and Dio were longer in the OVAs.

So, the summary for Week 6 of Dragon Ball Super looks like this: Dragon Ball Super Recent Week's Weeknight Ratings Week 6 Viewers HH 18-49 18-34 25-54 8/6 449,000 0.28 0.15 0.18 0.15 8/7 483,000 0.31 0.19 0.21 0.18 8/8 378,000 0.26 0.13 0.14 0.13 8/9 528,000 0.32 0.19 0.20 0.18 8/10 433,000 0.27 0.16 0.17 0.15 Weeknight Ratings Rank (Across ALL Primetime Cable) Week 6 Viewers HH 18-49 18-34 25-54 8/6 #82 #82 #76 #40 #85 8/7 #76 #76 #55 #24 #70 8/8 #89 #83 #83 #44 #92 8/9 #64 #67 #48 #17 #61 8/10 #79 #79 #49 #23 #72 Thursday did exceptionally well and is even beginning to steal Friday's thunder: Dragon Ball Super Day-Of-Week Averages DOW P2+ HH 18-49 18-34 25-54 MON 424,000 0.262 0.148 0.182 0.133 TUE 434,333 0.275 0.165 0.193 0.145 WED 419,833 0.270 0.150 0.173 0.135 THU 452,333 0.290 0.157 0.192 0.148 FRI 469,333 0.282 0.170 0.193 0.157 As you can see, though Tuesday is also a contender, Thursday now has the greatest Households average.

Well, that was quite a silly episode! Tomorrow night on Dragon Ball Super: ...we meet Monaka, and Goku almost blows his cover! EPISODE 32: The Matches Begin! We're All Off To The Planet With No Name!!

Good thing Bulma was once a stenographer??

I love how Bulma just blackmailed Jaco into doing his job! Well, that's convenient. Frog guy gets his ass kicked and suddenly Zuno has an opening!

Yeah, me too. It does have some funny moments in it!

Vegeta: "We're wired that way, you know? Saiyans are only attracted to strong women!" Piccolo: "That. Explains. EVERYTHING!!" My Hero Academia got the first topical, and they did mention it's at 10, but paid no special attention to the new time.

EPISODE 31: Off to See Master Zuno! Find Out Where The Super Dragon Balls Are!!

Coming up on [adult swim] in less than 20 minutes: Vegeta's totally the ultimate jealous hubby; doesn't matter if you're from another galaxy!

Ok, so no one's posted this yet... http://programminginsider.com/live3-weekly-ratings-the-sinner-season-premiere-more-than-doubles-its-livesame-day-figures-in-overall-gains/ Dragon Ball Super (ADSM, Sat., 8/4/18 10:30 PM) • Live+Same Day: 0.723 million viewers / 0.470 million adults 18-49 (0.36 adults 18-49 rating) • Live+3 Day: 0.977 million viewers (+0.254M; +35.13%) / 0.623 million adults 18-49 (0.48 adults 18-49 rating) (+0.153M; +0.12 rating; +32.55%) This is fairly important as it pertains to Dragon Ball Super's 528K/0.19 18-49 on Thursday: http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-thursday-cable-originals-network-finals-8-9-2018.html The 7 PM premiere episode of We Bare Bears (#90 Original) on CN only managed a 434K/0.09 18-49 an hour earlier. DBS shot up a full TENTH of a point! Go ahead and tell me it's not gaining an audience, because you'd be WRONG!! However, Friday's episode was a different story... http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-friday-cable-originals-network-finals-8-10-2018.html This time, the 7 PM WBB (ALSO #90 Original) did a bear hair better, 477K/0.10 18-49. DBS did grow the 18-49 audience from there considerably, but not the total viewership: http://programminginsider.com/friday-final-ratings-telemundo-leads-prime-time-among-key-young-adult-demos/ Dragon Ball Super (repeat) (ADSM, 8:00 PM, 30 min.) • 0.433 million viewers (#79) • 0.27 HH (#79) • 0.16 A18-49 (#49) • 0.17 A18-34 (#23) • 0.15 A25-54 (#72) The Cleveland Show (repeat) (ADSM, 8:30 PM, 30 min.) • 0.357 million viewers (#87) • 0.25 HH (#83) • 0.14 A18-49 (#67) • 0.13 A18-34 (#42) • 0.14 A25-54 (#79) Sure did beat the crap out of the Cleveland Show though (the first episode; NOT the 2nd)!

If there were ever a title for Viz and Bang-zoom to try a simul-dub on, it's THIS title! But where could it go? Perhaps to replace Diamond Is Unbreakable if Golden Wind is not yet available!

I really REALLY hope they use All Might saying "Holy Stinking SUPERCRAP!" in the promo!

While that is pretty funny, when you think about it, it's really not that much different from the old 60's "Batman" theme!

So this IS officially a One-Punch Man thread, just to clarify, but if you ask me, AOT S2 was MUCH better paced than the Trost arc. When that got to Part 9, I was all like "good grief! How long is this arc gonna take!? The 2nd cour started out slowly but as soon as the Female Titan appeared, it got much better. And as for Season 2, well, the flashbacks are one reason that it shined! Plus of course there was the BIG reveal, and that last confrontation with the Titan who ate Eren's mom! I'm looking forward to seeing (more of) Season 3 starting on August 25th (I've already seen Episode #38), and of course also looking forward to One-Punch Man Season 2 next Spring!

If you ask me, this season opener was deserving of slightly better than a "B", but oh well... https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/my-hero-academia/episode-14/.114230

I thought this episode was good. Well, better than a "B", but there ya go: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/black-clover/episode-34/.132280

Well, here's the review of the final episode on ANN, and quite frankly, I'm really not all that surprised: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/jojo-bizarre-adventure-stardust-crusaders-egypt-arc/episode-24/.89500 Rating: "A+"! No other grade will do for a finale this bombastic and satisfying!

That was an awesome finale! And we finally learned that Jotaro's Star Platinum could also freeze time!!

EPISODE 214 - "THE BURDEN" Original Airdate: 6/2/11 English Dub Online Airdate: 11/2/13 TOONAMI Airdate: 8/11/18 2 AM TONIGHT--ONLY TOONAMI!!!

If you're wondering when Naruto Shippuden officially enters "dub premiere" status, sorry, but looks like you're gonna be waiting a while: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Naruto:_Shippuden_episodes Yep, episode 313! And we're on 214 tonight, so just under 100 episodes to go, so...late 2020?

This is now officially my favorite of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure OPs, though they're all good! I wonder if we get to hear this full version as insert music tonight? http://jojo.wikia.com/wiki/Stand According to this article, which contains MASSIVE spoilers, we see that the 6 parameters of each Stand are (clockwise from top): destructive power, speed, range, durability, precision, and learning potential. We see by these that in the latter two, Star Platinum is actually slightly STRONGER than "Za Waruldo!" We'll see how this plays out in tonight's grand finale of Part 3! Tonight's gonna be a HELLUVA finale!!

Well, as we all know, he stopped saying "Useless" in the dub and started saying "Muda!" The one time he COULD have said "Useless" in episode 46, when it wasn't part of his catchphrase, he went with "Futile" instead! This is mostly because the first season had a different line director, I believe.

I love how this episode's topical starts out serious but gradually gets sillier as the seconds pass, starting out with multiple gunshots and ending with Goku in a turtle costume!
