You're forgetting JoJo, you goofy doofus! Part 3 begins 2 weeks from today! And HOW DARE you call Hunter x Hunter drivel!

Uhhh, where to even begin with this? 1. The Dragon Balls were just used to revive Frieza so they can't be used for like another 130 days. Or a whole year. I can't remember which. I guess not a year because there was a six-month timeskip between the summoning of Shenron to learn about Super Saiyan God (though to be fair what the hell happened to the other two wishes then is beyond me) and his summoning to revive Frieza. Point being, they can't be used to revive Piccolo yet. I guess the Namekian Dragon Balls could be, but it ain't like anyone besides Goku knows Instant Transmission, and he's kinda busy at the moment! 2. Underwhelming, maybe, but poorly animated? I'd say it's slightly above-average animation. For an example of poor animation, go watch the new Berserk. It DOES indeed pale in comparison to the movies, though. Y'all might be hating but I'm still enjoying it! And I'll probably be watching at 8 PM tonight.

That's absurd! MLB games don't do THAT good in the ratings!

Wow, I guess it really IS true that no one gives a shit about AOT. Well, here's your discussion thread anyway, bitches! EPISODE #36: CHARGE

Where's my "mad" reaction?...

EPISODE 4: "WITH A GUN IN MY HAND" The madcap capers continue!! 2 AM tomorrow, ONLY TOONAMI!!

Sorry, AF, think I beatcha!

EPISODE #58: Signal × To × Retreat OP: "Departure" ED: (for the last time) "Hunting × For × Your × Dream" by Galneryus It really is the end of an era tonight on Toonami, as the story arc we've been following since mid-February comes to a close, and we lose Galneryus's spirited ending theme, which has been with us since last November! Don't miss this epic conclusion to the current story! 1:30 × AM × Tonight, × 7 × 15 × 17, × ONLY × TOONAMI!!!

I don't think that helped. I'm on 5 out of the last 10 now!

I think I will rewatch the last 10 episodes (since Uvogin died) in preparation for the arc finale Saturday night!

Not if they beef up the Saturday pre-Toonami schedule by playing 2 hours of McFarlane shows beforehand, just sayin'. I believe that may actually have more bearing on whether individual shows are hits than the quality of the shows themselves, though there ARE night-winning exceptions like AOT S1, DBZ Kai, One-Punch Man, and Samurai Jack S5. As for Stardust Crusaders, we'll just have to wait and see. Other than the survival of the big bad from Part 1 and the main from Part 2, I hear it pretty much reboots the series.

You're just butthurt because the UC Gundam show wasn't a huge hit and was pretty much panned among the Toonami podcasts. Which I really don't get, don't get me wrong. I thought its story was a bit confusing but I can't knock the amazing visuals and music. Hopefully Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin gets its chance on Toonami someday. Its ending might be a bit inconclusive by nature but as a remake of the original Mobile Suit Gundam it seems like a natural for Toonami!

Well, Stardust Crusaders does have a few things going for it that either its predecessor or AOT S2 didn't: 1. It'll be a dub premiere, unlike its predecessor, which had a bare-bones home video release in late 2015 so it was out for almost 10 months before Toonami acquired it. 2. Its dub won't be streaming online anywhere but Adult Swim and that will be behind a log-in wall for at least a couple of weeks, unlike AOT S2 3. It contains the technique in JoJo that JoJo is most well known for--the STANDS! 4. For the most part it won't be led-into by Dragon Ball Super arcs that are simply rehashes of the movies, and DBZ Kai has finally gotten to the serious part--the Buu Saga!

Yeah, I'll bet AOT S2 will get a rerun at 3 AM or 3:30 AM at some point.

I was saying that as soon as Jack ended, AOT should have moved up to 11 PM and allowed a new show to debut instead at 12:30. Unfortunately that didn't happen, and now we've lost 11 PM, for the time being, at least. Now don't count out Jotaro from being this year's Saitama, even at 12:30. Stardust Crusaders WILL be a dub premiere (beyond Episode 4) and SHOULD be a huge hit!

Maybe not soiling them, but I'd say in your case SOAKING them is within the realm of possibility! :fap:

Wrong. Mikasa Ackerman is #3. Why they didn't have her listed from Attack on Titan is sure beyond me though!

Hope things continue to improve next week, with no boxing or UFC to worry about. Man, Toonami's seen better days...

One day AFTER Toonami! That's probably too soon after though. Should be like a week or two.

What, in 2012 when it came on NickToons!? Because when it was on Toonami in 2003-04 was a VERY different time. But I know it did bad enough in the ratings that it lost daytime Toonami to Miguzi. Don't see that fate befalling 8 PM Super anytime soon. http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-7-8-2017.html "Adult Swim’s late-night line-up returned from holiday hiatus as follows: DRAGON BALL Z down 0.08 to 0.42 (the primetime episode was down 0.03 to 0.28), ATTACK ON TITAN down 0.08 to 0.34, TOKYO GHOUL down 0.09 to 0.29, LUPIN THE 3RD down 0.02 to 0.24, HUNTER X HUNTER down 0.03 to 0.27/653K, NARUTO down 0.02 to 0.23/568K, and GHOST IN THE SHELL down 0.05 to 0.20/521K." 12:00 AM DBZ Kai: The Final Chapters 938,000 12:30 AM Attack on Titan Season 2 795,000 (84.75%) 1:00 AM Tokyo Ghoul 685,000 (86.16%) 1:30 AM Hunter × Hunter 653,000 (95.33%) 2:00 AM Lupin The 3rd 595,000 (91.12%) 2:30 AM Naruto: Shippuden 568,000 (95.46%) 3:00 AM Ghost In The Shell HD 521,000 (91.73%) Well I guess that's pretty good. Nothing under 500K. But that 0.20 in 18-49 for GITS stinks to high heaven, especially since it WAS a great episode!

I believe Dragon Ball Super's continued presence on the Top 5 most talked-about shows on Nielsen Social more than qualifies it as a "hit." However, it is unknown whether that has something to do with the fact that new subtitled simulcasts also come out on Saturdays.

Hold the phone. If these shows aren't mainstream, then just what the hell IS mainstream in terms of adult-oriented animated action? It's hard to get more mainstream than DBZ and DB Super. Sure they're not airing Mob Psycho 100 or My Hero Academia, but there's no way you can call anything on Toonami with the exception of Lupin the 3rd not "mainstream" and be correct.

I'm picking Bo to replace Kai. But I would LOVE for the 12 AM timeslot to get something that isn't super shonen. I've never actually seen Flip Flappers but I've heard good things about it and it's often been compared to KILL la KILL.

It doesn't kill but it DOES maim.
