Episode 11: Adrift in Subspace 2:30 AM Tomorrow night (11/11) Only Toonami!!

Episode #30: Inauguration of the Arbrau Defense Forces Tekkadan's adventures continue tonight (11/11) at 12:30 AM!! Only Toonami! [bang bang] Not enough Gundam for you? Read this interview with IBO's producer and get ready for the show tonight!! https://www.funimation.com/blog/2017/11/07/gundam-iron-blooded-orphans-interview-producer-masakazu-ogawa/?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=112017-hv-gundam-ibo&utm_source=facebook&utm_content=interview-blog&utm_nooverride=1

I REALLLLLY hope they don't do that! JoJo and Gundam could use some binge-watchin' love! Unlike the Jack marathon, I probably WILL watch the Kai marathon, but it will likely be on in the background while watching something else...

Well, color me disappointed, although not really surprised. I knew with a super-long Countdown, they would either have to do something else special in the first half-hour (such as Blade Runner Blackout 2022) or have to go for a show that runs for less than normal, and Kai fits the bill. Plus, it was a natural conclusion that it would be a marathon since they often contain fewer bumps and other interstitials. This marathon will go back to 9/9, the week after the last DBZ Kai Marathon. Well, can't say they're not consistent about giving the Buu saga a 2nd play-through! And that means I get a chance to re-record the episodes that got screwed up on 10/7 and 10/14. As for "why not Super"? Every episode of Super already gets AT LEAST THREE on-air airings. It is the LAST show that needs a marathon. Meanwhile, I'm over here like "give me another chance to record the episodes of JoJo and Gundam IBO my DVR screwed up!" Hopefully this Christmas, I'll still get that chance. Gundam IBO will likely have 9 episodes out by then, which might be enough for a marathon with some really long interstitials (I'm thinking if they bookend it with something, perhaps BRB2022, like they did with Scavengers for JoJo last year), and JoJo: Stardust Crusaders will be at 18, which is more than enough.

IIRC, we got the announcement of Samurai Jack S5 for October 28th on October 12th. That means we should expect some announcement soon, possibly today.

It may still end up being the only Toonami show airing throughout the entire year to average over a million in its official Toonami timeslot. I'm assuming the boost it got is because of Countdown, but it was a pretty darn good episode in its own right, with a combined almost 1.9 million viewers over both airings! We shall see if Countdown keeps it in the millions over the next 2 weeks, and if it will give a significant boost to whatever the hell Toonami decides to air on November 25th as well!

You're right--because Bebop and Ghost DID air during the bonus hour, their ratings may not actually be available this week. So their omission on SBD may not have anything to do with the fact that they're HD "repaints", as Outlaw Star is also one.

Where in the hell are you getting these numbers!? JoJo dropped 232k and Gundam 60k--which is worse.

Well, THIS is pretty good: All other shows, including "#Countdown", also trended! Also, it looks like Countdown caused DBS at 11 PM to surge over a million, as this update shows: http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-11-4-2017.html "Adult Swim’s slate performed as follows: in primetime, DRAGON BALL was at 0.20/529K and 0.36; in late-night, it was at 0.49/1.04M and 0.49, with JOJO’S ADVENTURES at 0.31, MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM at 0.28, LUPIN THE 3RD at 0.27, HUNTER X HUNTER at 0.27/529K, NARUTO at 0.24/475K, and OUTLAW STAR at 0.23/421K." Please note that the description above might contain a few typos, as DBZ KFC has already been reported as 0.40 18-49.

That is true of Stardust Crusaders, but not of the whole series. Episode 15 of the original only retained 70%.

You talking about UFC? It always boggles my mind that more people watch that trash than actual boxing!

Back to normal, sort of... http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-11-4-2017.html 11/4/2017 Dragon Ball Super (8:30) #14 (+6) Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.43 Estimated 18-34 - 292,000 ( 34.56% ) Adults 18-49 Rating - 0.36 Estimated 18-49 - 462,000 ( 54.67% ) Total Viewers - 845,000 11/4/2017 DBZ Kai: Final Chapters #12 (STEADY) Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.51 Estimated 18-34 - 347,000 ( 41.66% ) Adults 18-49 Rating - 0.40 Estimated 18-49 - 513,000 ( 61.58% ) Total Viewers - 833,000 11/4/2017 JJBA: Stardust Crusaders - #17 (-4) Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.39 Estimated 18-34 - 265,000 ( 44.09% ) Adults 18-49 Rating - 0.31 Estimated 18-49 - 397,000 ( 66.06% ) Total Viewers - 601,000 11/4/2017 Gundam IBO - #20 (-4) Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.34 Estimated 18-34 - 231,000 ( 42.70% ) Adults 18-49 Rating - 0.28 Estimated 18-49 - 359,000 ( 66.36% ) Total Viewers - 541,000 11/4/2017 Lupin the 3rd - #32 (-11) Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.31 Estimated 18-34 - 211,000 ( 44.42% ) Adults 18-49 Rating - 0.24 Estimated 18-49 - 308,000 ( 64.84% ) Total Viewers - 475,000 Welp, everything down from 2 weeks ago with the exception of Dragon Ball Super, but these shows HAVE been lower. Well, with the exception of Gundam IBO's 18-34 number; that's its lowest. But hey, let's look on the bright side: Lupin the 3rd STILL beat Boxing on Showtime's highest timeslot in which the Bronze Bomber knocked out his unimportantly-named opponent in less than a round!

Nothing wrong with that, because DBZ Kai won't.

Dragon Ball Super this week. And looks like it's episodes 26-30. I gotta say, this is an incredibly stupid way to watch a series. Then again, I guess it's really not THAT much worse than one episode a week! However, to add to the stupidity even further, they actually glitched and repeated one episode, and it's the one in which Frieza destroys the Earth and Whis grants a do-over, then Goku beats Frieza before he can destroys the planet! I mean, if you're going to repeat an episode during a marathon that repeats 5 episodes over and over again, I guess that's not a bad one to repeat, but still, OVERKILL!!! And it appears there was no Wednesday advance either. I'll be shocked when it DOES happen. Also, no clue if they fixed the glitch, and I doubt I'll ever know. Hell, at this point, I barely care.

This is all a bunch of nonsense. Here's what I HOPE they do on November 25th: 11 PM Countdown Finale 11:10 PM Premiere of Blade Runner Blackout 2022 11:30 PM Marathon (hopefully JoJo) begins

Awww, such a touching ending!

Yeah, I believe that happens in Jupiter Jizz...umm, I mean "Jazz!"

Sorry, I was trying to watch the Lupin the 3rd Q&A, so wasn't able to participate...

Well, HE just got played!

Way to turn the tables, Lupin!!

Hey, Blondie, YOU GOT PLAYED!!!

Wow, she has big boobs to be able to do that!

Wow, it was all staged!

Wow, that battle between Jigen and Goemon was pretty damn cool!
