Kaneki is fighting Amon, right?

This is like the best show on TV that nobody's watching! ON to the somehow-interesting Tokyo Ghoul Root A!

Why WOULD they replace it? Not happening until 2018!

Fucking creepy!

He's not the monster under your bed, Polnareff, but you're under the bed and he's the monster!

Crazy loon!

*Grabs Beer* What? Not time for the OP yet? AW DANG!!

Holy crap, I predicted the plot of this episode!

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2017-09-23/gundam-unicorn-to-reveal-new-project-next-spring/.121772 Yes, we might not have seen the last of the collaboration between legendary composer Hiroyuki Sawano and the amped-up animation from Sunrise on Toonami! Now let's just hope the story is a bit better this time! :it:

EPISODE #5: "THE BEAST GIRL, READY TO POUNCE!" No time to mourn Hilda; gotta escape the McDougalls! But the crew might have a confrontation with a BEAST GIRL! Find out tonight (9/23/17) at 2:30 AM; Only Toonami!

EPISODE 11 (23 overall): Deluge of Flowers (Damn, that title is EMO!) They just vanquished the One-Eyed Owl, but now we've got a NEW OWL!! Who is this new antagonist? Find out tomorrow night (9/23/17) at 12:30, ONLY TOONAMI!

EPISODE #13: "The Dream of Italy, Part 2" Join us as we delve further into the mystery of The Dream of Italy... And Nix just might dodge another bullet! 1:30 AM 9/23/17, ONLY TOONAMI!

EPIOSDE 8: "DEVIL" Well, the JoJos and crew have escaped from Strength Forever and made it to Singapore, so now what? Find out tomorrow night (9/23/17) at Midnight. Only TOONAMI! OH, and better not stick that chewed gum anywhere, guys. Singapore kinda frowns on that shit! Only Toonami!

That's true, but Toonami CAN and has featured theatrical movie trailers in a similar fashion.

Titan is a degree or two of separation from Evangelion. It's like half Kaiju and half Mecha.

Wait, since when is Bebop a mecha-type show? It's definitely space-themed (along with IBO S2 and Outlaw Star), but then again, you can, and SHOULD also argue that Dragon Ball Super is space-themed!

Yeah, Gundam show airing in the middle of Gundam show would be a bad idea, but one thing you're not getting about Twilight Axis is it's not an original production, but an existing microseries. It would probably be "thrown in" as a package deal with another Gundam show. Does that mean it would air during said Gundam show? Probably not. But you are wrong about FTWD not airing its microseries "Flight 462" and "Passage" during Seasons 6 & 7 of The Walking Dead--that totally happened!!

Every weeknight at 1 AM they're airing an episode of a different series, kind of like a comprehensive best-of slot! Tonight at 1 is The Boondocks' "Stinkmeaner 3: The Hateocracy," arguably the series' finest moment. Scope out the schedule for more: http://www.adultswim.com/videos/schedule/

Yeah, I looked it up just now. It sounds interesting, and it's also Universal Century. I still believe Toonami will air Twilight Axis (the sequel to Unicorn) someday, as it's a mere microseries and won't permanently occupy a 30-minute timeslot. Hell, maybe even DURING the commercial of a stretch of IBO would be a good idea? After all, that's what AMC does with the "Fear the Walking Dead" microseries during The Walking Dead, and that doesn't seem to confuse anyone... But more likely than not, if they ARE getting TA, it would be better to air it on the block during an otherwise Gundamless stretch.

I'd say, quite "Frankxxly," that one's a toss-up. I think we're talking 2018 for it, and Toonami would potentially have an open slot for it. After all, they DID air Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill, and it's in the same pedigree as those. After missing out on MHA, you've gotta think they're a little sore. Yes, Netflix has LWA but it's one of their co-pros. Would a World Premiere of Frankxx be a good idea to replace Dragon Ball Z Kai? Ohhh yes, it would! Co-funding a Crossbone Gundam series? That's a new one on me. Have Netflix and Sunrise EVER really worked together before? That's not counting InuYasha: The Final Act, which aired on Toonami first before coming to Netflix, of course! (Yes, I realize it was on Neon Alley first...)

Pretty much confirming what we were already able to deduce, since Tokyo Ghoul ends in that timeslot on 9/30, but now it's official:

Hopefully Discotek rescues that from Manga someday! Then again, we could get Redline as our DST special this year as Toonami opens its business with Manga... Say, what the hell ever happened to Manga, anyway? They used to have Rob Zombie's Haunted World of El Superbeasto streaming on their site for free!

Yeah, you have a point. Netflix pisses me off. But there's one thing that Netflix CAN'T touch and that's [as]/Toonami co-pros, which is why they should keep going with them. And since DBS appears to be entrenched in that 11 PM timeslot for the long haul, air those AFTER DBS so they can benefit the rest of the block. But anyway, here is the latest show averages roundup; been a while since I've done one of these: CURRENT SHOW AVERAGES Total Viewers Dragon Ball Super (Prime Time Premieres) - 830,125 (32 episodes) Dragon Ball Super (Toonami) - 1,028,364 (33 episodes) Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters - 952,088 (34 episodes) JoJo's Bizarre Adv.: Stardust Crusaders - 653,429 (7 episodes) Tokyo Ghoul - 663,864 (22 episodes) Hunter × Hunter - 766,348 (66 episodes) Lupin the 3rd - 499,400 (12 episodes) Naruto: Shippuden - 829,073 (171 episodes) Outlaw Star - 433,500 (4 episodes) Cowboy Bebop - 394,000 (2 episodes) Attack on Titan Season 2 Rerun - 365,625 (8 episodes) Adults 18-49 Dragon Ball Super (Prime Time Premieres) - 411,688 (31 episodes) Dragon Ball Super (Toonami) - 622,242 (32 episodes) Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters - 574,647 (32 episodes) JoJo's Bizarre Adv.: Stardust Crusaders - 399,714 (7 episodes) Tokyo Ghoul - 404,955 (22 episodes) Hunter × Hunter - 457,667 (66 episodes) Lupin the 3rd - 293,500 (12 episodes) Naruto: Shippuden - 459,946 (154 episodes) Outlaw Star - 256,250 (4 episodes) Cowboy Bebop - 217,500 (2 episodes) Attack on Titan Season 2 Rerun - 237,375 (8 episodes) Adults 18-34 (Estimated) Dragon Ball Super (Prime Time Premieres) - 264,800 (29 episodes) Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters - 388,118 (32 episodes) JoJo's Bizarre Adv.: Stardust Crusaders - 272,000 (6 episodes) Tokyo Ghoul - 274,429 (21 episodes) Lupin the 3rd - 199,800 (10 episodes) Note that due to only DBZKFC making the Top 50 on 9/9, there is one less episode's 18-34 rating available for most shows than total viewers and 18-49. Lupin the 3rd missed the Top 50 twice, so it's missing TWO episodes in 18-34. Speaking of Lupin, it has slipped back under 500K total viewers, not necessarily a huge deal because other shows on later have as well (it did actually get back above 500K briefly last week), but actually for the first time a Toonami show DUB PREMIERE has slipped under 200K 18-34! Let that sink in. But as long as Rick & Morty keeps kicking ass on Sunday, who cares if Toonami tanks, right? It got its 11-4 time frame and though it's a long, hard slog, it would be better to stick it out than to undergo any asinine schedule shakeups. Plus, we've gotta have a new schedule bump coming when IBO S2 gets here, right? Although why we didn't have those playing all along during the commercial break of Rick & Morty is beyond me. This should have been airing every Sunday night this month at about 11:45:

And apparently SDS has a Season 2 coming out. It could be back up for grabs for Toonami soon... Also... ADULTS 18-49 RETENTION 8:00 PM Dragon Ball Super (NPOT) 286,000 8:30 PM Dragon Ball Super (NPOT) 469,000 (163.99%) 10:30 PM Family Guy (NPOT) 704,000 11:00 PM Dragon Ball Super 509,000 (72.30%) 11:30 PM DBZ Kai: The Final Chapters 462,000 (90.77%) 12:00 AM JJBA: Stardust Crusaders 394,000 (85.28%) 12:30 AM Tokyo Ghoul 431,000 (109.39%) 1:00 AM Hunter × Hunter 346,000 (80.28%) 1:30 AM Lupin The 3rd 273,000 (78.90%) 2:00 AM Naruto: Shippuden 272,000 (99.63%) 2:30 AM Outlaw Star HD 221,000 (81.25%) 3:00 AM Cowboy Bebop HD 222,000 (100.45%) 3:30 AM Attack on Titan Season 2 219,000 (98.65%) TOONAMI TOTAL VIEWERS AVERAGE - 334,900 http://programminginsider.com/ratings/final-nationals/saturday-final-nationals-abc-fox-garner-positives-college-football/ Also interesting to note: "For the entire week of September 11-17, 2017 in Total Day (8 p.m. to 5:59 a.m.), Adult Swim is up 5 percent in viewership (0.842 million vs. 0.803 million) and up 12 percent among Adults 18-49 (540,000 vs. 484,000) from one week earlier; the network is also down 9 percent in viewership (0.842 million vs. 0.928 million) and up 0.4 percent among Adults 18-49 (540,000 vs. 538,000) from the same week one year ago (September 12-18, 2016). (http://programminginsider.com/?p=19375)" Yes, UP over last year for once just slightly. But of course, Toonami wasn't responsible for any of that; it lost 35%.

Oh, oops! I meant to take that out! It's like that in my spreadsheet and I forgot to remove it! It's fixed now; please fix your quote!
