everything wrong with Season 1 of Tokyo Ghoul
OwlChemist81 replied to mochi's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
I'm approaching this with an open mind. Maybe it won't be that bad. After all, I dug Gundam Unicorn, which was full of haters on the UEMB! -

Yeah, that's probably true. A bit of good news though: While the 11:30 episode lost big to Mike Tyson Mysteries, the 12 AM episode fared much better compared to Decker: Unsealed! http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-sunday-cable-originals-network-finals-to-come-7-2-2017.html -
This looks interesting. Could be a contender for Toonami (or Elsewhere?) if it gets an English dub! http://www.anime-now.com/entry/2017/07/06/230036?utm_campaign=ANN

What we still don't know about Toonami in 2017...
OwlChemist81 replied to OwlChemist81's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
Assuming you mean My Hero Academia, that IS true. At least not in 2017. Shame, too, because if you ask me it would have been perfect for 11 PM. But Little Witch Academia has even LESS of a chance on Toonami than that. Practically dead zero since it's a Netflix original! -

The thing is Labor Day is unique since it's also when DragonCon happens. Toonami could play it off as a special event for DragonCon attendees, then use commercial breaks to cut away to a host and have Dragon Ball and Toonami giveaways. Also, Labor Day seems to have had the higher-profile marathon or shows every year, and it seemed to do best among the marathons in 2014 and 2016 to boot: 2013 had the premiere of Evangelion 2.22 2014 had the first Attack on Titan marathon 2015 had a Michiko & Hatchin marathon which also featured "Rattle That Lock" by David Gilmour 2016 had the One-Punch Man marathon So, 2017 stands to get the biggest holiday event of the year. Don't get me wrong: I kinda hope they air a Lupin marathon, but Toonami viewers SHOULD have the chance to see the newer DBZ movies at SOME point, and Labor Day after the DBS arcs have ended just might be about right to break from recent tradition and air them. Even with an 11:30 start time, Battle of the Gods would be a 2-hour timeslot since it's 85 minutes long, and that would start Resurrection of F at 1:30. Resurrection of F is 94 minutes, so Toonami would need to be extended to 4 AM unless it were to take over 11 PM for one night only; then the movies would air at 11 PM and 1 AM respectively. -

Yeah, really! Even so, I believe this to be a bad judge of what it can do at 8:30. Season 1 of Jack did better than this in that timeslot. Also, the 3:30 airing did BETTER! Perhaps it SHOULD be part of Toonami? I'm sure Jack will do better next week in both timeslots. This does prove that 8:30 and 3:30 are far enough apart for same night encores to work decently. -

OwlChemist81 replied to OwlChemist81's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
Right. I guess my typing hand got ahead of my brain. Of COURSE I meant "won't be part of 2017 since they're coming in 2018." One of FLCL's sequel seasons? Or do you mean JoJo and Gundam? Because JoJo is replacing AOT, while Gundam IBO looks to be replacing Tokyo Ghoul! 11 PM WILL return next year for FLCL2 and FLCL3. I would count on that. It will be interesting to see if Super just continues going through football season. Most big games are over by about 11:30 PM, so I'd say yes. -

In case you're keeping score at home, not a one of these timeslots beat any premiere despite the first 3 being on earlier. That, I'm afraid, is the lowest we've seen out of ANY Toonami lineup since that "unholy megabomb" that aired the night of 12/13/14 which featured Hellsing Ultimate's final episode (X) and FMA: Sacred Star of Milos. Of course, that was screwed by Black Dynamite and Attack on Titan reruns. This, the perfect storm of a pro boxing fight that made all of Adult Swim feel inferior, and, oh yeah, Attack on Titan reruns. Well, so much for the theory that marathons do better than movies! Maybe time to try movies again! Labor Day would be an excellent time for Toonami to air Battle of the Gods and Resurrection of F to recap the first 2 arcs of Dragon Ball Super (which, BTW, will have just ended) in a unique way not available to other series! Well, next week 11 PM is gone, and things return to normal, hopefully, low though 2017's "normal" is. Gone is the golden age of February 2015 through May 2016 and it's time to just accept that. -

No, the block isn't dead, but it has just lost 11 PM, which is not like being decapitated, but more like getting a haircut. Also, this change was made BEFORE the marathon aired, so there's no blaming AOT on this! Also, please note that since those AOT episodes WERE reruns, there's no way it would have made an SBD chart anyway.
