Just like on Namek!!!

Hey everyone! I'll be watching while eating my wings from KFC...yeah, I know; wrong show...

Remember:

Episode #24: "I'm Going To Get You, Lupin!!" Grab a tasty snack and let's dive into the new year!! Only 3 episodes left!! Catch the crazy capers while you can, 1:30 AM Tonight (1/6/18) and the next 2 Saturdays! Only Toonami!!

Well, guess I'll just start watching Yamato 2199 on VRV now... ...but I'll keep watching Black Clover exclusively on Toonami and the stream.

EPISODE #19: DEATH 13, PART 1 No time for games, Joseph; you're facing Death tonight! "Death 13, Part 1," to be exact! Once again at the witching hour of Midnight! Only Toonami!!

Episode #35 (Season 2, Episode 10): Awakening Calamity Delve deeper into the many brewing conflicts of Tekkadan! 12:30 AM Tonight (1/6/18) ONLY TOONAMI!!! Need a recap of the first 9 episodes of Season 2? Check out the reviews from ANN right 'cheer: #26: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/mobile-suit-gundam-iron-blooded-orphans/episode-26/.107169 #27: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/mobile-suit-gundam-iron-blooded-orphans/episode-27/.107445 #28: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/mobile-suit-gundam-iron-blooded-orphans/episode-28/.107734 #29: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/mobile-suit-gundam-iron-blooded-orphans/episode-29/.107752 #30: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/mobile-suit-gundam-iron-blooded-orphans/episode-30/.108289 #31: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/mobile-suit-gundam-iron-blooded-orphans/episode-31/.108530 #32: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/mobile-suit-gundam-iron-blooded-orphans/episode-32/.108785 #33: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/mobile-suit-gundam-iron-blooded-orphans/episode-33/.109025 #34: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/mobile-suit-gundam-iron-blooded-orphans/episode-34/.109247 And grab a snack and get ready for Episode #35 TONIGHT!!

Page 4: The Magic Knights Entrance Exam Six months later, Asta and Yuno attempt the Magic Knights Entrance Exam! It's the new year, so come right before Midnight, grab a tasty snack... ...and get your Clover on--or something. Only Toonami, sorta.

If they do air a movie, I believe it will be Dragonball: Evolution! That would be utterly hilarious, especially if they somehow managed to MST3K it up with Tom and Sara riffing on it during the actual movie!

By my math, that would be either the first 11 episodes or the last 11 episodes to date. If the latter, then we'd be talking #3-#13 on St. Patty's Day. I've heard it gets better as it goes along, so maybe just not play #1 or #2?

The DBS episode at 10:30 did comparable to what the glorified rerun that started Toonami after the 8 or 8:30 PM premiere did, but then through the first few episodes, people actually got more and more interested. I'm not sure how this data could be extrapolated to a normal night, but it will be interesting to see if other hot shows like Black Clover can pull off the same thing now that marathons begin fairly early. I'm calling it now: Pick a 4-leaf or 5-leaf Black Clover marathon on St. Patrick's Day, March 17th...

Well, looky here, y'all!! http://www.programminginsider.com/saturday-cable-final-nationals-wisconsin-miami-espn-top-non-college-football-playoff-semifinal-orange-bowl-date/ PROGRAM Viewers (000) A1849 rating A1849 (000) 10:30 Dragon Ball Super (r) 832 0.40 520 11:00 Dragon Ball Super (r) 864 0.41 526 11:30 Dragon Ball Super (r) 939 0.45 579 12:00a Dragon Ball Super (r) 970 0.45 583 12:30a Dragon Ball Super (r) 869 0.41 524 1:00a Dragon Ball Super (r) 883 0.43 553 1:30a Dragon Ball Super (r) 872 0.42 543 2:00a Dragon Ball Super (r) 793 0.38 484 2:30a Dragon Ball Super (r) 753 0.35 453 3:00a Dragon Ball Super (r) 703 0.34 442 3:30a Dragon Ball Super (r) 589 0.30 381 The marathon did "Super" well, averaging ~824K in total viewers and an even 508K in adults 18-49--better than the block has done since WAAAAAY back on May 13th! Also, for the month of December, the all-Toonami-slots total viewers average crossed 600K for the first time since June. (In June the block ran from 11-3:30.) That's a positive sign going into 2018; I just hope the block can keep it up!

I don't think streamers-only will ever have exclusive rights to sports. It just isn't their forte. Sports are meant to be watched live, not binged. Of course, 5 years from now I COULD still be proven wrong! After all, the WWE Network is a streaming-only thing that's been around for almost 4 years now!

I hope Darling in the Franxx does air. It would be an ideal show to take a break from Gundam. And that is a good point: would they simply call "Star Blazers" that or would they add the "2199" on the end? I think FUNimation refers to it as "Star Blazers 2199", so I believe they'd go with that.

And already time for he arc opener! Trunks seeing a sword for the first time is cute!

Well, it's official; no one on the UEMB gives a rat's ass about this marathon. That said, it will probably do better in the ratings than last week's Cowboy Bebop marathon. At any rate, here's the promo:

PROGRAM Viewers (000) A1849 rating A1849 (000) 10:30 Cowboy Bebop (r) 661 0.31 394 11:00 Cowboy Bebop (r) 510 0.24 306 11:30 Cowboy Bebop (r) 526 0.24 310 12:00a Avey Tare: Ms. Secret (p) 592 0.28 360 12:05a Cowboy Bebop (r) 496 0.23 302 12:30a Cowboy Bebop (r) 419 0.18 233 1:00a Cowboy Bebop (r) 370 0.17 216 1:30a Cowboy Bebop (r) 354 0.16 210 2:00a Cowboy Bebop (r) 314 0.15 195 2:30a Cowboy Bebop (r) 308 0.15 191 3:00a Cowboy Bebop (r) 355 0.16 200 3:30a Cowboy Bebop (r) 361 0.16 202 Wow. I have no doubt in my mind a JoJo marathon, a Gundam marathon, hell, even a Lupin or Outlaw Star marathon would have done better, but since those shows might not have durable TV licenses, it's Bebop we got. The consequences were the lowest ratings so far in 2017: 426K total viewers and 252K adults 18-49 on average. Dragon Ball Super tonight just HAS to do better, right??

Why on earth would Gundam IBO randomly rerun Episode 27 between 41 and 42?

Don't know how much I will be able to watch, but this is an AWESOME show! (Especially Episode 3...)

Not sure if this happens only today (12/26/17) or if this will be a thing going forward, but it appears Toonami has taken over the [as] live stream as well as its own streaming channel. So far it's just Pre-Flight, but I wonder if it could eventually be last week's block?

It's Samurai Jack to close out 2017. If this marathon ever goes past Episode 5, I'll be shocked!

Are y'all doing something similar next week as an alternative to Dragon Ball Super?

It's Christmas Eve--don't be a dick. IBO is a GOOD show! And I'm sure all this is just an error!

Well, that 's it for my Bebop binge tonight, I suppose. My DirecTV 1.5 hour rewind is on #11 right now, and the West Coast feed is on #8. I took a nice nap earlier but now it's time to go back to sleep! See ya, space cowboyz!
