The rest of the lineup was pretty much business as usual, but at least there were some winners, such as Lupin... programminginsider.com/saturday-cable-final-nationals-christmas-evergreen-hallmark-leads-total-viewers/

Update: "Adult Swim’s line-up returned from a week off, with DRAGON BALL at 0.47/0.35, BLACK CLOVER at 0.30, JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURES at 0.28, MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM at 0.25, HUNTER X HUNTER at 0.24/526K, LUPIN THE 3RD at 0.27, NARUTO at 0.25/506K, OUTLAW STAR at 0.18/396K, COWBOY BEBOP at 0.17/404K, and GHOST IN THE SHELL at 0.16/384K." Toonami's total viewer average was 585,545. That's actually slight improvement over last month's average. More to come...

It only dropped 108K from DBZ KFC before it, which DROPPED THE BALL million-plus Super threw it to the tune of over 300K. I'm sure DBZ KFC's fate is to be replaced by Boruto next year, but I wouldn't mind ALLLLLLL of DBZ Kai getting a rerun at 3:30 AM.

Ok, I think I finally have this thing in the format I want it to be: 12/2/2017 Total Viewers Adults 18-34 Adults 18-49 Time Show People Retention Rating Estimate Retention Rating Estimate Retention Rank RankChg 10:30 PM Dragon Ball Super 1,029,000 N/A 0.54 367,000 N/A 0.47 603,000 N/A #4 +8 11:00 PM Dragon Ball Z Kai: Final Chapters 799,000 77.65% 0.44 299,000 81.48% 0.35 449,000 74.47% #7 +7 11:30 PM Black Clover 690,000 86.36% 0.41 279,000 93.18% 0.30 385,000 85.71% #11 DEBUT 12:00 AM JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders 621,000 90.00% 0.35 238,000 85.37% 0.28 359,000 93.33% #15 +3 12:30 AM Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans 553,000 89.05% 0.32 217,000 91.43% 0.25 321,000 89.29% #21 STEADY 1:30 AM Lupin The 3rd 533,000 96.38% 0.35 238,000 109.38% 0.27 346,000 108.00% #17 +10

First Ratings Report of the new era, and we get to know from 10:30 PM-1 AM, as well as Lupin at 1:30, at first. So how did the earlier start time and Black Clover shake things up?

Finally, over 3 months after its HD Premiere on Toonami, the Stream has chosen to bring us the adventures of an Outlaw Star through the night--IN SPACE!! It seems like it will be only episodes 1-5, but they should be pretty enjoyable!

Not anymore. The 8 PM DB Super Power Hour is gone. So the Dragon Ball franchise only airs for an hour on Saturday nights right now. So far, I'm digging Black Clover. Magic hasn't really been a thing on Toonami for quite some time (outside of maybe Outlaw Star's Caster Gun), so for a show to enter the fray that is based on it is kinda cool. And I am interested to see where this "demonic possession" thing goes. I tried to watch Ikki Tousen's first season on Free Hulu back in 2008 or 2009. I felt dirty after watching it!

Now that wasn't so bad, was it? Elfie has a right to be wrong. And I think this show will be an interesting outlier: a show that even the hardest-core weebs prefer the dub to the sub. Kinda like Hellsing Ultimate.

So I guess it's on to a new arc and a new battle next week??

Kirk Thornton is Kuze. Somehow, that just makes sense!

I always thought it was kinda weird that in Japanese, they would just be able to read those characters as "Individual 11", but in the dub, they don't know what the logo means, and actually make a pretty big deal out of deciphering it.

Wow, Kudos to the Austin Peay Marching Governors!!! This is an actual band performance from the 2013 Football season!!

Oh yeah, forgot this thing ended up here!! Hopefully Toonami can spin Space Dandy again someday in these butt-end slots!

Black Clover and Outlaw Star together, what the hell!?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Enough turkey; now time for Outlaw Star!!

Oh, I definitely won't be watching Black Clover there. But I will be watching Yamato 2199, RWBY, and the like there. VRV IS the Sh!t, no doubt about it. And I WILL be watching Black Clover on Toonami because reasons... But what the hell is the deal with Episode 7 of Juni Taisen? It wasn't uploaded Wednesday like usual...

FUNimation has Yamato 2199, same as Black Clover. It's not past us yet. But I don't see it doing well at 11:30. Would be an excellent replacement for Lupin. DeMarco has said he wants it; he just might be waiting until 2018 for it. Maybe even drop Gundam IBO down to 1 for a Sci-Fi hour and give Hunter x Hunter a boost for the first part of the Chimera Ant arc?
