Umm, you're wrong. And yes, those of y'all who have never seen DBZ before will have to now wait 2 weeks to get this clarified! They're just BEGGING us to go watch this on VRV, aren't they? Oh well, time for JoJo!!

Guess who!?!

Are we really going to have a 2-week cliffhanger about what the sword being broken reveals?

Catchingtite!? Hard enough for you now, ChiChi?

Oh well, no "You're having the Fusion technique for breakfast!" this time!

Two weeks until more Dragon Ball Super is such a Hit in the balls!! :pumpkin:

He figured it out!! Goku hit him! He Sword Art Online'd him!

Well, that's helpful!

You don't know that. It might be like that for 80 episodes, but you have no clue what lies beyond that! :skull: :skull: :skull:

Wait, Vegeta already lost!?

And it's on a FULL HOUR earlier than its most recent Intruder brethren!

Is it just me or does Hit look kinda like a giant penis with a face?

Great show, but total ratings bomb! Gundam IBO outrated it this week. http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-wednesday-cable-originals-network-finals-10-18-2017.html The premiere did beat Gundam though. Search on this site and see for yourself! Who wins between Mr. Robot and Giant Robots? So far it's kind of a toss-up!

Just realized I haven't done one of these yet for 10/14--well here we go! #8 Naruto Shippuden - 5 pages #7 Hunter × Hunter - 9 pages #6 Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans - 10 pages #5 Lupin the 3rd - 11 pages, 5 posts on last page #4 Outlaw Star - 11 pages, 10 posts on last page #3 Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters - 12 pages #2 JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders - 13 pages #1 Dragon Ball Super - 14 pages Never underestimate the power of a young Super Saiyan!

At some point during this run, GITS Live Action 2017 will probably be coming to a premium movie channel. I'm hoping for HBO. PLEASE let it be HBO!

Episode #9: "A Journey Of Adventure, Huh?" Join us at 1:30 for more tales of an ironic Outlaw Through The Night!!! Only Toonami!!!

Episode × 71: Bargain × And × Deal MOAR × XTREME × DOGEBALL!! All this and more (well, probably not the "doge") at 1 AM TONIGHT! (10/21/17)

EPISODE 17: LUPIN'S DAY OFF Original Japanese OP: "Theme from Lupin III 2015" by You & Explosion Band International (Toonami) OP: "U Belong To Me" by Meg International (Toonami) ED: Tune in at 1:30 AM tonight (10/21/17) and get wrecked like Zenigata! ONLY TOONAMI!!

Episode #28: Battle Before Dawn As Mikazuki and the newly-upgraded Barbatos Lupus head off on a new mission, they have a bitter new rival! What happens next? Will the ratings climb over 600K total viewers for the first time in Season 2? Get your biceps ready and join us tonight (10/21/17) at 12:30! ONLY TOONAMI!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah no. It may be down but it's far from out!

Attack on Titan Season 2, episodes #26-#30. No advancement. If you want to see the transformation of Bertholdt and Reiner again, you'll need to look elsewhere. Still no JoJo: Stardust Crusaders or Outlaw Star, but who the hell cares? The stream is a pale shadow of what it used to be on weekdays and has been for quite some time. They should change it up so that it at least shows a whole cour (11-14 episodes) like it used to. That would be a true "marathon!"

This would be interesting. Perhaps it would be set in like 2031, when a college-age offspring of Misa Amane and the late Light Yagami, who died in 2013, just months before he/she was born, learns of his/her father's fight to catch Kira (but somehow not that he WAS Kira, as Misa is careful to keep this detail away from him/her), learns of a new Kira and joins forces with Near, who is now in his mid-20's, to take down the new "Z"-Kira, who announces that he will be the "Kira to end all Kiras," and will bring destruction to the world! Misa's offspring being female is most interesting, since it allows the chance for a romantic relationship to form between her and Near, and all the while, since Near is painfully aware of his new partner's bizarre origins, and the fact that her mother herself WAS a 2nd Kira at one point in time, it allows for an interesting dynamic to grow between them as she slowly learns the truth, while the Z-Kira wreaks an increasing amount of utter havoc on the future world. Pretty compelling, huh?

As much as I like JoJo's, it IS kinda embarrassing that so few people are watching it at MIDNIGHT, Toonami's classic home for the best episodes! But by the same token, a Toonami block that begins at 11 PM is a dream come true, no matter what the ratings are. That said, why can't the 8-10 time frame ALSO be considered "Toonami"? It might not make much sense during Football season, but outside of that, an 8-10 PM time frame that is called some form of "Toonami" would be interesting, you gotta admit!

That 8:30 PM Super is just KILLING it!! It did that well up against COLLEGE FOOTBALL!! The only way Adult Swim is messing with that is if they suddenly lose the 8 PM hour back to CN. Then I daresay Super premieres would continue at 9 PM. I don't want Toonami to lose the 11 PM hour but premieres at 9 PM may be safer. Are JoJo and Gundam REALLY that much worse content-wise than Rick & Morty?

You mean "powerless" hour?

I guess I thought wrong. Maybe they saw it on-demand and were so letdown by it they didn't care anymore? No, that really can't be the case, right? At any rate, it goes out with a whimper, a modest 0.15, rather than a bang.
