Well, looks like it has! http://www.adultswim.com/videos/jojos-bizarre-adventure/

[glow=red,2,300]Attack on Titan Season 2 Wrap-Up Total Viewers - 772,583 Adults 18-49 - 464,167 Adults 18-34 (Estimated) - 305,750[/glow] What more can be said? Season 1's lowest point was 979K viewers. Season 2's HIGHEST point was only 951K viewers! Premiere ratings dropped 38.3% on average from Season 1 to Season 2 in total viewers, and 30.8% in adults 18-49. The 18-34 ratings of S1 cannot be estimated, but at least S2 likely got above 300K viewers 18-34 on average. Let's just hope Season 3 does better next year!

It's Dragon Ball Super this week, again! #16-#20 were playing Monday-Wednesday, like WTF 2 weeks ago, but I guess this week's WTF we get #21-#25! Edit: nope. It's Thursday and we've still got #16-#20. Maybe they'll fix it tonight and let #21-#25 play Thursday @ 9 PM-ish to Friday @ 8 PM? Only time will tell... The real question is why are they not showing JJBA Part 1: Phantom Blood this week, as it's a direct prequel to Part 3, which airs this Saturday night? (Part 2 is really more of a flashback side-story, despite the fact that the adventures of Young Joseph took up almost 2/3 of the first season.) Good thing you can still watch Episodes 8 and 9 for free, with no cable log-in (as well as 10-12 if you're so inclined...) Edit: the stream never advanced. It's #16-#20 all week!

Because otherwise, a bunch of people will tune in expecting to see JJBA Part 3 at 12:30 AM and instead will get Tokyo Ghoul Root A. That's like expecting to get :beer: and getting :poop: instead!!

It was mentioned briefly at SDCC that Toonami had something they wanted to announce, but couldn't yet. It's also mysterious that GITS is moving up to 2:30 with AOT S2 after that. Well, here's my guess: Outlaw Star to replace the first season of GITS at 2:30 AM on August 19th. That's my guess; What do y'all think?

Duly noted. Just wasn't really sure what the hell to call it!

Alright, let's wrap this unfortunate turd of a week up, shall we? :poop: TOTAL VIEWERS RETENTION 8:00 PM Dragon Ball Super 715,000 8:30 PM Samurai Jack S5 455,000 (63.64%) 11:00 PM Family Guy 947,000 11:30 PM Dragon Ball Super 804,000 (84.90%) 12:00 AM DBZ Kai: The Final Chapters 725,000 (90.17%) 12:30 AM Attack on Titan Season 2 621,000 (85.66%) 1:00 AM Tokyo Ghoul 565,000 (90.98%) 1:30 AM Hunter × Hunter 500,000 (88.50%) 2:00 AM Lupin The 3rd 472,000 (94.40%) 2:30 AM Naruto: Shippuden 436,000 (92.37%) 3:00 AM Ghost In The Shell HD 367,000 (84.17%) 3:30 AM Samurai Jack S5 323,000 (88.01%) TOONAMI TOTAL VIEWERS AVERAGE - 561,250 Well, at least Family Guy didn't even crack a million. Decent retention for the Super premiere, but Samurai Jack at 8:30 and Venture Brothers completely trashed whatever momentum Family Guy would have had, considering that the ONE TIME DBS actually premieres at 11:30, the #1 satellite company DirecTV had a VIDEO GLITCH that basically made the entire first 3 shows unwatchable! I mean, what are the odds?? It all combined to result in a Toonami block that was down almost 50% from last year's block, but I digress... ADULTS 18-49 RETENTION 8:00 PM Dragon Ball Super 375,000 8:30 PM Samurai Jack S5 236,000 (62.93%) 11:00 PM Family Guy 542,000 11:30 PM Dragon Ball Super 496,000 (91.51%) 12:00 AM DBZ Kai: The Final Chapters 447,000 (90.12%) 12:30 AM Attack on Titan Season 2 396,000 (88.59%) 1:00 AM Tokyo Ghoul 354,000 (89.39%) 1:30 AM Hunter × Hunter 319,000 (90.11%) 2:00 AM Lupin The 3rd 314,000 (98.43%) 2:30 AM Naruto: Shippuden 256,000 (81.53%) 3:00 AM Ghost In The Shell HD 222,000 (86.72%) 3:30 AM Samurai Jack S5 192,000 (86.49%) TOONAMI TOTAL VIEWERS AVERAGE - 350,500 The 18-49s, on the other hand, really weren't that bad. That average is actually the 2nd highest for this month, beating last week, and was down from last year by only 42%. And look at Lupin go! It retained a whopping 98% in 18-49, and 94% in total viewers! CURRENT SHOW AVERAGES Total Viewers Dragon Ball Super (8 PM) - 849,423 (26 episodes) Dragon Ball Super (11:30 PM) - 1,069,615 (26 episodes) Dragon Ball Z Kai: Final Chapters - 990,000 (27 episodes) Attack On Titan Season 2 - 772,583 (12 episodes, finished) Tokyo Ghoul - 686,133 (15 episodes) Hunter × Hunter - 789,610 (59 episodes) Lupin the 3rd - 527,000 (5 episodes) Naruto: Shippuden - 839,539 (166 episodes) Ghost In The Shell HD - 495,696 (23 episodes) Adults 18-49 Dragon Ball Super (8 PM, Estimate) - 411,577 (26 episodes) Dragon Ball Super (11:30 PM) - 647,577 (26 episodes) Dragon Ball Z Kai: Final Chapters - 598,407 (27 episodes) Attack On Titan Season 2 - 464,167 (12 episodes, finished) Tokyo Ghoul - 422,667 (15 episodes) Hunter × Hunter - 471,356 (59 episodes) Lupin the 3rd - 308,400 (5 episodes) Naruto: Shippuden - 465,951 (149 episodes) Ghost In The Shell HD - 304,783 (23 episodes) Adults 18-34 (Estimated) Dragon Ball Super (8 PM) - 264,167 (24 episodes) Dragon Ball Z Kai: Final Chapters - 403,926 (27 episodes) Attack On Titan Season 2 - 305,750 (12 episodes, finished) Tokyo Ghoul - 281,400 (15 episodes) Lupin the 3rd - 210,800 (5 episodes) It's really sad that the only show left on Toonami that still averages over a million and 600K 18-49 is Dragon Ball Super. Hopefully JoJo will do well and join the club next week, now that ratings drains like Samurai Jack and Venture Brothers are gone from the pre-Toonami lineup! But the bigger question is: how in the hell is college football going to affect this??

So I guess we're gonna see a SLOOOOOW transition of Frieza from being voiced by Chris to Daman? Ok, but I really hope Chris somehow gets better!

Unfortunately, it looks like it won't actually be a premiere, as it seems that now it will be last week's episode at 8, followed by new episode at 8:30. So now each DBS episode starting with #27 will get THREE airings on [as], with the middle one being the "official" Toonami airing: #1 - PREMIERE at 8:30 on [as] #2 - ENCORE at 11 on Toonami #3 - RERUN before the premiere at 8 on [as] But I am SUPER PUMPED that JoJo is now at midnight! Just means I'll have to get home at 11 PM Central to watch it live, which can be challenging...

It's even weirder than that... http://www.adultswim.com/videos/schedule (And click on the "SAT, JUL 29" tab...) It seems they're actually doubling up on Dragon Ball Super now with last week's episode at 8 and the NEW episode at 8:30 instead leading-in to an hour of Rick & Morty at 9 and an hour of Family Guy at 10. I'm at a loss for words at this point! Hopefully that's wrong and they're showing the last 2 weeks' Supers instead at 8 and 8:30, but I'm not holding my breath. But here's what we know about the ratings so far for July 22nd: "Adult Swim changed its late-night block, at least for this week, placing the previously primetime DRAGON BALL SUPER at 11:30PM, where it was at 0.39 (up 0.13 from last week), with DRAGON BALL Z steady at 0.35. The rest of the line-up had ATTACK ON TITAN steady at 0.31, TOKYO GHOUL up 0.02 to 0.28, LUPIN THE 3RD up 0.02 to 0.24, HUNTER X HUNTER up 0.02 to 0.25/500K, NARUTO steady at 0.20/436K, GHOST IN THE SHELL steady at 0.17/367K, and SAMURAI JACK at 0.15/323K." http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-7-22-2017.html So now we have... 11:30 PM Dragon Ball Super 804,000 12:00 AM DBZ Kai: The Final Chapters 725,000 (90.17%) 12:30 AM Attack on Titan Season 2 621,000 (85.66%) 1:00 AM Tokyo Ghoul 565,000 (90.98%) 1:30 AM Hunter × Hunter 500,000 (88.50%) 2:00 AM Lupin The 3rd 472,000 (94.40%) 2:30 AM Naruto: Shippuden 436,000 (92.37%) 3:00 AM Ghost In The Shell HD 367,000 (84.17%) 3:30 AM Samurai Jack S5 323,000 (88.01%) TOONAMI TOTAL VIEWERS AVERAGE - 561,250 For those keeping score at home, that is a new low for 2017, even undercutting the AOT S2 marathon!

Wow, I figured maybe AOT S2 would get a rerun at 3 AM, but I never saw THIS coming!! Amazing that it's JoJo that got Midnight instead of AOT!

It's only Tuesday, so there's plenty of time to fix this, but it pains me to say they haven't fixed it yet for this week, at least not DirecTV. I can't vouch for other on-screen guides from other cable services, though.

We can't judge from this. You see numbers that got worse, and I see numbers that didn't get much worse due despite better competition and an unfortunate outage.

The 3rd slot is better than AOT got until its last few episodes! And since JoJo is getting the 3rd Slot back for the first time since Episode 19 on March 4th, I think it's gonna be alright. BTW, these numbers LOOK bad, but please consider that the "Marquee 3" were FUBAR for a large percentage of the viewership this week, and it's really not so bad. http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-7-22-2017.html 7/22/2017 Dragon Ball Super (11:30) #4 (+7) Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.45 Estimated 18-34 - 306,000 ( 38.06% ) Adults 18-49 Rating - 0.39 Estimated 18-49 - 500,000 ( 62.19% ) Total Viewers - 804,000 7/22/2017 DBZ Kai: Final Chapters #5 (-2) Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.42 Estimated 18-34 - 285,000 ( 39.31% ) Adults 18-49 Rating - 0.35 Estimated 18-49 - 449,000 ( 61.93% ) Total Viewers - 725,000 7/22/2017 Attack On Titan - #6 (-1) Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.37 Estimated 18-34 - 251,000 ( 40.42% ) Adults 18-49 Rating - 0.31 Estimated 18-49 - 397,000 ( 63.93% ) Total Viewers - 621,000 7/22/2017 Tokyo Ghoul - #9 (+1) Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.32 Estimated 18-34 - 217,000 ( 37.74% ) Adults 18-49 Rating - 0.28 Estimated 18-49 - 359,000 ( 62.43% ) Total Viewers - 575,000 7/22/2017 Lupin the 3rd - #14 (+5) Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.29 Estimated 18-34 - 197,000 ( 41.74% ) Adults 18-49 Rating - 0.24 Estimated 18-49 - 308,000 ( 65.25% ) Total Viewers - 472,000 Never mind the low total numbers. All 18-49s affected by DirecTV's partial outage except Super virtually tied and the ones that weren't affected were up slightly. Meanwhile, the 18-34s were down but still the Dragon Balls dominated despite the fact that the competition in Live PD's final 30 minutes and the last part of CONCACAF Gold Cup ate into a Super and in the latter case, a Kai, that were significantly handicapped. Both of the USMNT's goals were scored during Dragon Ball Super, so that the Gold Cup beat it is no surprise to me, especially since Super was screwed up on DirecTV and possibly ANOTHER cable platform! That a show like that can still manage about 500K in 18-49 is pretty miraculous! Because lightning probably won't strike twice, next week I'm expecting BOTH Dragon Ball Supers to significantly outperform their counterparts this week. But I guess we'll see.

Good. It's not like Straitzo narrating this would make a lick of sense!

Sad but true.

Yeah, OG Dragon Ball Z had like a whole episode of that. Thank goodness Kai's version will likely be more like half an episode!!

Oops, wrong thread!

Hey, you're right!! Didn't catch that at first!

Yeah, it now comes on at 3:30 after Toonami! Thank goodness we DirecTv'ers got through GITS without incident!

Ah yes, Equinox. A very serious episode but it's not without comic relief!

That was a pretty cool showdown between Pain and Hinata!

Wow, she even kept that wilted sunflower!! Shades of Samurai Champloo?

She'll be magically making his weiner disappear, then reappear, then disappear... ...or so he thought!!!

Ah, now all this makes a bit more sense! Fujiko is anything but innocent in most cases!
