What a crazy asshole!!!

Is he glasses guy, or is he in-league with glasses guy?? I really can't tell, but both are equally shocking!

Pretend you just had sex and impregnated a woman. You'd get that baby in 9 months. That's how long it will take for AOT S3 to come out! Think you can wait that long? Because in the first situation, those 9 months can go by FAST!!

It seems to have passed. It completely fucked my recordings of DragonBall Super, DBZ KFC, and AOT though.

Wow, 12 pages already! That's impressive!! Is anyone else who has DirecTv having severe issues with Toonami? It only seems to be the HD feed, not the west coast SD feed. Still, heads are gonna roll if this isn't fixed by the time JoJo premieres! Just my luck...

Episode #59: "Bid × And × Haste" OP: "Departure ED: Time to start the next phase of the hunt!! The Greed Island arc begins... 1:30 × AM × tonight, × 7 × 22 × 17! ONLY × TOONAMI!!!

EPISODE 5: "THE MAGICIAN'S LEFT HAND" REAL OP: The heists continue... Domani sera alle 2! Solo Toonami!! Episode #5 Part 4 of Lupin the 3rd 2 AM tomorrow! 1 great time!! [countdown]

Episode 37: "Scream" OP (one last time): Opfert eure Herzen! by Linked Horizon Eren Jaeger The Titan who ate his mom. Tomorrow night (7/22/17) at 12:30, it's on like Donkey Kong! [and several times as big] ONLY TOONAMI!!

I was up stupid late Tuesday or Wednesday and I tuned in for awhile but I didn't see it.

Already in the works. Starting August 5th, both R&Ms are from S3!

http://www.animemovienight.com/ Sneak peek at Children of Ether, followed by Ancient Magus Bride. And it's playing in my hometown!!

I think that will be a slight minority. Also, they'll probably start running topicals for the 11:30 during/after the 8 this week. All in all this is a smart move, which BTW the "official" schedule corroborates: http://www.adultswim.com/videos/schedule My on-screen guide does not, however, but I'm recording the 11:30 this week anyway because I feel the one on the AS website is more accurate. If I took a wild guess as to "why now?" All I can think is SDCC and the fact that they want better ratings for JoJo Part 3 as compared to AOT S2.

I REALLY hope Stardust Crusaders fits the bill!

I'd only go for that if the whole thing was repeated from 12:30 to 5 AM!

It's my estimate, based on a number I picked up somewhere a couple of years ago that, I'll admit, might have been adjusted up or down. That number is 679,600 adults 18-34 = 1.0 in adults 18-34. Lupin got a 0.29 in adults 18-34, and 0.29*679,600 = 197,084, which of course rounded to the nearest thousand is 197K. As for the other 326K-ish viewers, since there were 282K adults 18-49, that means 282K-197K=85K of them were between 35 and 49 (like me). However, that still leaves 241K unaccounted for in Adults 18-49. My best guess, considering the fact that 50+ was extremely low, and the huge ratings for males 12-34, is a lot of them were teenage boys 12-17. That's not saying all 241K of them were, no, probably more like 100-150K if that. I guess a lot more kids stay up and watch Toonami on Saturday nights than we think, but would you really want your 8-year old to watch Tokyo Ghoul?? There's also the fact that it takes a LOT of viewers to equal one ratings point in P50+, so even though the 0.07 it got is super low, it may actually be a greater percentage of 50 and over than we realize.

Yeah, but how good of a sell is 197K viewers 18-34 watching Lupin at 2 AM? It's certainly better than anything ELSE airing at 2 AM, at least for now. SportsCenter is in reruns at that point so it will likely continue to be even through Football season.

I gotta admit you have a point!

"Shit the bed" seems to be the common vernacular nowadays!

It ain't that bad, but I would say nostalgia viewers in their 20s and 30s is definitely the biggest audience! Also, COME ON, TOEI! You're just gonna force us to make a worse deal for it next year if you don't play ball! Adult Swim is NOT 4Kids! They KNOW what they're doing!

They need to do this pre-Toonami: 8 PM DB Super 8:30 Rick & Morty x2 (2 Sundays ago premiere followed by last Sunday's premiere) 9:30 American Dad x2 10:30 Family Guy x2 There's really not that much AD left on the [as] schedule right now, and Saturday could use a couple of episodes so it finishes strong! They don't even need to encore later in the night--just play 2x at 9:30 PM!

You're right, though the 8:30 PM Samurai Jack rerun is actually lowest of the night. It was a mistake believing Super's audience could be split like this, and its premiere "sneak peek" at 8 PM. That's useful to anyone who only watches Super and then just wants to party all Saturday night, as was apparently the case this week. Restoring new episodes to 11:30 and making the 8 PM showing an encore of the previous week as was the case with DBZ Kai in 2015 and 2016 would be best if they can do it. But as it is, an unadvertised "sneak peek" plus an advertised "premiere" that is actually a rerun just doesn't seem very smart at all! Also, why not encore DBZ Kai at 8:30 instead of Samurai Jack? Just give it a try and see what happens?

One year ago, One Punch Man premiered with 1282K total viewers, 815K 18-49, and about 571K 18-34. Saitama saved us then, but can Jotaro now? Also, OPM may be a year old now but Toonami has NOT lost the rights! You can stream the first episode now, plus the last 2 with no cable log-in, and many others with it!

Not on HBO, because it's a premium service! I doubt 10 million viewers have EVER been a reason for cancellation on cable. On the big networks, maybe. Maybe if something started at 10 million and dwindled to 5 million?

Yes, it's a record. The previous high last season was like 8.89 Million. That's a record not only for Game of Thrones, but for HBO as well: http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/07/17/game-of-thrones-season-7-debut-is-hbos-most-watched-premiere-ever And there IS a replay of the episode taking place this week from 10:20 to 11:20 on Saturday night, which will of course re-air on HBO West from 1:20-2:20. However, I doubt it will affect Toonami all that much, especially since it did pretty bad this week even with no interference from GOT. It might actually go up despite the newest episode of GOT airing opposite it for the umpteenth time. GOT would really have to go down in the ratings to get its premieres moved to Saturday nights, and that just ain't happening!

You ain't kiddin'! GOT got 10.1 MILLION watching it on HBO cable Sunday night, and another 6 million watching its reruns and online. http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/daily-ratings/game-of-thrones-scores-series-best-audience-with-season-7-premiere/ Oddly enough, Mike Tyson Mysteries fared pretty well against HBO's juggernaught, but DBZ KFC beat Decker and Apollo in the same timeslot the next day: http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-sunday-cable-originals-network-finals-7-16-2017.html
