Only problem is I doubt she got much pleasure out of that before ending up there! ...or maybe she did, but the WRONG kind of pleasure!

Actually, it's ironically back ON the rails now, after spending 6 months in filler hell going off the rails!

Does anyone know what the hell that sign in Arabic that stuck to Joseph said??

Wow, a Haro? I guess I'll have to go back and watch--and I guess I can do so sub OR dub for right now! ON to Bebop!

Fortunately, our time loop only lasts 2 weeks, as that Deja Vu feeling you had watching Toonami will be LONG GONE next week!

Yes, yes we HAVE already done this...

Yes, yes it was!!! I watched the funny part, but I really didn't notice a big difference in the dialog, except for maybe the "ankle biters" part!

The stream has indeed advanced in Hunter x Hunter, and it just feels like it keeps going and going! But I guess it's actually just the next 5 episodes, since Pitou gets the better of Kite in the last one.

Acute viral enteritis. In other words, a microscopic bug suddenly made my guts feel like shit!

You DO realize what "microseries" means, right? Like 3 minutes an episode. So it wouldn't need to take a timeslot from something else, which is the real issue here, because like you don't ignore 3-minute commercial breaks all the time! Plus, it IS kind of a SEQUEL to Unicorn!

It's 4. Tomorrow is #47 out of 50.

Well, the fact that we got FLCL Alternative kinda signals to me that the mecha show torch is being passed to FLCL for a while before the next Gundam show... But C'MON, Toonami! Prove me wrong and pick up another Gundam, even if it's the microseries Twilight Axis...

So, last week, this episode got "Scapegoated" for Mind Game, but that's OK--we're getting it tomorrow night at 12:30! It's firing on all cylinders, so don't miss it! Only 4 episodes left, so witness the carnage while you can, on Toonami!

Will they get out of this damn dungeon alive? Find out tomorrow at its new time, 1 AM...MAYBE!! ONLY TOONAMI!

Hey, Mariah, for Joseph and Avdol, you're bringin' on the heartbreak... In English this time!!! Midnight tomorrow (4/7/18) -- Only Toonami!

Just when I thought it couldn't get any weirder, at some point over the last 24 hours, the stream abruptly switched to Hunter x Hunter. It's sometime during the Chimera Ant arc, but I haven't the slightest idea when, yet, as I'm half-rewatching Gundam IBO starting with Episode #43 right now instead. [deal with it] EDIT: It's the first 5 episodes of the Chimera Ant arc! If I had to guess, I'd say they'll advance to the next 5 tonight after a new Pre-Flight at 8 PM!

I was just rewatching the sub on the end of a rewatch of Mind Game, and I gotta say, you're right! I can hardly wait for the level of hilarity that the English dub is going to add to...THAT scene!!

I watched the dub of Kurokami, and I don't think there was anything wrong with it. It was just relegated to a crappy 3rd-rate TV network instead of Adult Swim or even Syfy.

Look at it from the standpoint of the creators. The streaming sites can only offer streaming. Adult Swim/Toonami could offer at least one run of every episode on linear TV (at least two if a dub is produced), plus limited streaming and VOD. If they would just expand their streaming offerings a little to cover a whole cour at a time, they could probably give the big streaming sites a run for their money. The only obstacle to getting in on the "same week as Japan" model most of the big streaming sites boasted was that [as] would not air subtitled anime. Now, after this year's April Fool's stunt, I daresay as long as we're talking only about same-week simulcasts, that may no longer be the case. The sneak preview of FLCL Alternative may actually have been more than that--like the original [as] Toonami stunt six years prior, it may have been a pilot as well. Now I wouldn't be spouting this nonsense if I didn't have a show in mind. That show is none other than Sword Art Online: Alicization. Of course, it would be desired for it to be aired back-to-back with another same-week simulcast from the Fall season that would not be simuldubbed, maybe in the 2 AM hour, but I digress. Perhaps they could even yank the proverbial rug from under Hulu's feet in terms of SAO. If the Gun Gale Alternative dub would be ready by then, it could make for a really interesting back-to-back combo!

Both are 11th place out of 13 for 2018. The whole night's average was 449K total viewers and 270K adults 18-49. For a special event with little to no advance announcement, that's really not that bad. Retention - 3/31/18 Show Total Viewers Adults 18-49 DBS Unknown Unknown DBZKFC 90.17% 91.90% BClover 73.44% 74.52% FLCL Alt 80.53% 78.41% Mind Game 73.13% 75.08% JoJo 85.04% 86.90% HxH 100.62% 107.04% Shippuden 93.56% 95.77% Dandy 104.59% 102.45% Bebop 94.04% 96.17% GITS 95.67% 92.54% Scavengers 96.86% 93.55% HxH and Shippuden's subs were the best retainers, and completely blew away anything dubbed. Once JoJo ended, the rest of the night retained very well!

Now that you mention it, I guess I COULD see Boruto in the lead slot, directly followed by Shippuden! Wouldn't be that different from what we have right now with Super and Kai. Of course that would mean a boost for Shippuden that would equal the Ascent of Alucard (3 hours earlier)!

Wow, that's utterly preposterous! I could see BORUTO take DBS's spot, but Shippuden would be insane! Also, this really isn't too shabby: Adult Swim switched up some of its late-night line-up, which performed as follows: DRAGON BALL at 0.44/0.40 compared to last week’s 0.45/0.37, BLACK CLOVER up 0.03 to 0.30, FOOLY COOLY at 0.24, MIND GAME at 0.18, JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE down 0.06 to 0.15, HUNTER X HUNTER down 0.06 to 0.16/326K, NARUTO down 0.08 to 0.16/305K, SPACE DANDY down 0.06 to 0.16/319K, COWBOY BEBOP at 0.16/300K compared to last week’s 0.22/0.20, and GHOST IN THE SHELL down 0.05 to 0.14/287K. I daresay Subtitles Night was a success! We've certainly seen lower! This just might be the fuel Toonami needs to try airing same-week-as-Japan subtitled simulcasts in the later hours, perhaps starting in October!

Edited because for some crazy reason following an outage last night, the stream is STILL showing Sam Cham #6-#10. So yay, you have more chances to witness Samurai shouting in thick New York accents over hip-hop beats!

Tenchi Muyo! GXP premiered on November 10, 2012, at 12:30, replacing Casshern Sins. Episode 4 began its decay to 1 AM when Naruto came in on December 1, then Thundercats (which was pretty much red-hot for the time) was boosted to its peak position of 1 AM on December 15, and THAT'S WHEN GXP fell to 3 AM with Episode 6. Funny you should mention that, because if you'll remember the lineup on 1/31/15, DBZ Kai was at 11:30, followed by Shippuden at Midnight (yes, it WAS actually that early at one time), followed by InuYasha: The Final Act at 12:30, and then One Piece at 1. The following week, 2/7/15, One Piece had been demoted to 2:30, DOWN 3 slots. Flash forward to today. Black Clover just aired its last time at 11:30 last week, and this week it starts at 1, ALSO DOWN 3 slots! So, in a very real way, it DID get the One Piece treatment! Good thing it won't last 2 more years to be cancelled! Just out of curiosity, how DID you get your "Archivist" title, because mine should TOTALLY be "Historian!"

Next year, 4/1 falls on a Monday, which means the gag would be on Sunday night after Midnight. I'm totally expecting The Disaster Artist, followed by The Room, which means it probably won't happen. It would be totally cool if some action-related sneak peek were to air at 8 PM that Monday, but I doubt we'll see that.
