EPISODE 6: DARK BLUE MOON Dio, they're coming for you! #1: Magician's Red #5: Hierophant Green #7: Silver Chariot #9: Purple Hermit AND #17: Star Platinum! What will the next leg of their journey entail? Tune in tomorrow night (9/9/17) at Midnight and find out! Only Toonami!

Yeah, and besides, we're talking Monday and Tuesday for all that, NOT during Toonami. I guess it's possible Turner networks could go off the air if this were 1992 but I'm willing to bet there are failsafes in place 25 years later. Also, it bares to mention that, while Toonami and the 11:30-3:30 AM time period both declined 37% from year-to-year, the decline was only 27% in both for 18-49. A somewhat related opinion: if JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 5 gets an anime adaptation, I believe it should use that super-catchy new song "The Man" by The Killers.

So this happened: He called Joel "Aus-teen" as Rick Sanchez!! Starts hilarious, then goes completely off the rails!

Adult Swim headquarters is in Atlanta, nowhere near the coast. Why in the hell would they be under an evac order? There are some cities in Georgia along the coast that may be forced to evacuate but it won't be until like Sunday night or Monday. Stop making stuff up. In other news, the marathon actually did pretty decent by current standards! http://programminginsider.com/ratings/final-nationals/saturday-final-nationals-florida-state-alabama-abc-sets-time-college-football-opening-weekend-game-viewer-record/ MARATHON TOTAL VIEWERS RETENTION 8:00 PM Dragon Ball Super 511,000 8:30 PM Dragon Ball Super 468,000 (91.59%) 10:30 PM Family Guy 1,033,000 11:00 PM DBZ Kai Final Chapters 838,000 (81.12%) 11:30 PM DBZ Kai Final Chapters 718,000 (85.68%) 12:00 AM DBZ Kai Final Chapters 709,000 (98.75%) 12:30 AM DBZ Kai Final Chapters 700,000 (98.73%) 1:00 AM DBZ Kai Final Chapters 613,000 (87.57%) 1:30 AM DBZ Kai Final Chapters 578,000 (94.29%) 2:00 AM DBZ Kai Final Chapters 521,000 (90.14%) 2:30 AM DBZ Kai Final Chapters 481,000 (92.32%) 3:00 AM Attack on Titan #31 455,000 (94.59%) 3:30 AM Samurai Jack S5E10 422,000 (92.75%) TOTAL VIEWERS AVERAGE - 623,667 Well, it's better than the last DBZ Kai marathon, I'll give it that!

The Samurai Jack finale didn't quite match Episode 9, the highest of the 3:30 AM showing, but it still achieved the 2nd highest 18-49 rating of its 3:30 AM run.

I guess we just won't get to Yorknew on the weekday stream, since Hunter x Hunter did NOT advance past episodes 31-35!

I'm really not sure why we haven't gotten an original animated music video in a while. What was the most recent one?

True. But I daresay Toonami fans will still watch Toonami outside of evacuated areas. The city of Miami will probably be evacuated, but effects on places north of there are unknown since the storm won't actually hit until Sunday or Monday.

...and it was probably the biggest artist on Adult Swim Toonami, though you could argue that Death Cab For Cutie and mainstays Run The Jewels are almost as big, I suppose: It aired during I believe Episode 2 of the Michiko & Hatchin marathon. Now Music Videos this big COULD air at 11:15 in a future marathon, not to mention Countdown!

You mean the marathon that just aired last Saturday, or you mean this week's lineup, which goes up against a UFC event and college football? And then no relief on 9/16 as there's a boxing match, plus college football. Toonami simply needs to adapt to this! There's maybe 5 good Saturdays per year with nothing going on anymore!

The on-air schedule was back on track, as we indeed got Attack on Titan episode #31 "Warrior" last Saturday night as the side dish after the 8-piece bucket of DBZ: KFC!! But now it's Hunter x Hunter episodes 31-35, which also streamed like 3 months ago. We STILL can't get to the Kurapika/Phantom Troupe/Yorknew arc on weekday stream! Hopefully, we'll advance to 36-40 on Wednesday and that arc will FINALLY begin on the weekday stream! But in the meantime, why not enjoy the Kastro/Hisoka fight that graced our TV screens in December/January? And then witness Hisoka's fightboner for Gon? [could be worse]

Can't fault them for trying. I mean, 12 million Americans watched exactly that last Sunday on HBO!

Where have you been? This has been known for about a week!!! So this was attempted murder, but merely caused them to transform!!

Wow, this discussion is pretty dead tonight! Maybe everyone's freaked out about North Korea? Understandably so...

SHOWTIME for Attack on Titan!! Episode #31: "Warrior"

Damn, this discussion is dead... But what if you could pull off part of your belly and start blasting people with it?

BUU EAT YOU! BUU EAT YOU! BUU EAT YOU! BUU EAT YOU! BUU CAN'T WAIT TO EAT YOU! YOU TURN INTO COOKIE!!!

Yep, our 8-piece bucket of DBZ KFC comes with a side of Attack on Titan and a dessert of Samurai Jack's final episode! [it's finger lickin' good!!]

I'm inclined to agree with you, but I feel one of my roles here is to take the aggressive pessimism and add a dose of optimism!

Outlaw Star seems to have done good for the back-end. Perhaps banking on more of that with Bebop is a solid move after all! On 9/9/17, for the first time since 1/31/15, Toonami will run for 5 hours AND have 10 different shows!

Not 100% true, as some West Coast games go to 1 or 2 AM ET--of course the West-Coasters have their own Toonami, which I get too, just not in HD. But most of the east coast games are over by 11 PM ET or at least Midnight. However, Live PD is indeed on hiatus through College Football season.

Looks like "middle-D," like Shippuden was until just recently.

Considering FUNimation has Trigun, I'd say there's actually a pretty good chance of that!

Actually, the AOT rerun is dead last, at 3:30 AM. In light of this, I'm thinking "Charge" as the side after the 8-piece bucket of DBZ KFC is a mistake, and it's really "Warrior" that will air, or it's right and AOT will only air once at 3:30 and will be replaced by GITS:SAC 2nd Gig or something like that. With Jack at 3:30 AM since 7/1, Toonami might as well have expanded to 4 AM then. The only reason I can see that it didn't is because they would have to have made new bumps for its front end that 11 PM didn't have. However, now whether AOT S2 ends 9/16 or later, they'll have to do it for the new show, so I gotta say I totally don't get what the point of not doing that was.

Cool! Guess the network's actually fine with the ratings! Who's ready for the 5-hour challenge??
