HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! IT'S TITAN FIGHTIN' TIME!!!

Here we go! An ominous pink smoke emerges!!!

Sonic's ass sucks!

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!

Almost time! Yes, I'll actually be watching the 8 PM showing tonight! (Planning to get home in time for Kai later on)

Actually, we're up to Episode 21: "ERASER" tonight! [also a complex episode]

Shippuden brings the Pain Tomorrow night (7/8/17) at 2:30 AM ONLY TOONAMI!!

Well, I don't care to go after it, so it's yours. Unlucky #13 overall tomorrow night!

It's just 2 episodes. Shouldn't be that hard to get caught up!

EPISODE #35: CHILDREN Wow, I'm a bit SHOCKED no one made this thread, but I guess interest in the series is waning. Well, we're in the home stretch now anyway, so ENJOY!!! 12:30 AM tomorrow (7/8/17), ONLY TOONAMI!!

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

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.

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.

Egad! :poop:, I say!! http://programminginsider.com/ratings/final-nationals/saturday-final-nationals-pacquiao-horn-espn-cables-viewed-boxing-telecast-11-years/ MARATHON TOTAL VIEWERS RETENTION 8:00 PM Dragon Ball Super 441,000 10:30 PM Family Guy 1,012,000 11:00 PM Attack on Titan #26 825,000 (81.52%) 11:30 PM Attack on Titan #27 716,000 (86.79%) 12:00 AM Attack on Titan #28 664,000 (92.74%) 12:30 AM Attack on Titan #29 590,000 (88.86%) 1:00 AM Attack on Titan #30 488,000 (82.71%) 1:30 AM Attack on Titan #31 457,000 (93.65%) 2:00 AM Attack on Titan #32 467,000 (102.19%) 2:30 AM Attack on Titan #33 460,000 (98.50%) 3:00 AM Attack on Titan #34 465,000 (101.09%) TOTAL VIEWERS AVERAGE - 570,222 MARATHON ADULTS 18-49 RETENTION 8:00 PM Dragon Ball Super 200,000 10:30 PM Family Guy 585,000 11:00 PM Attack on Titan #26 486,000 (83.08%) 11:30 PM Attack on Titan #27 429,000 (88.27%) 12:00 AM Attack on Titan #28 406,000 (94.64%) 12:30 AM Attack on Titan #29 332,000 (81.77%) 1:00 AM Attack on Titan #30 259,000 (78.01%) 1:30 AM Attack on Titan #31 242,000 (93.44%) 2:00 AM Attack on Titan #32 260,000 (107.44%) 2:30 AM Attack on Titan #33 255,000 (98.08%) 3:00 AM Attack on Titan #34 279,000 (109.41%) TOTAL VIEWERS AVERAGE - 327,556 ROCK BOTTOM!!! 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.

http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-to-come-7-1-2017.html ESPN claimed the Top 5 slots which probably came as a surprise to absolutely no one since the boxing match was big news, as "Pac Man" got beat by Horn, and like 5 different character strings from that event trended even into the late hours of the AOT marathon. We probably won't know how the AOT marathon did until Programming Insider posts those numbers, which will probably be tomorrow. Justice League Action did grab the #13 spot though!

All I can say is SOMETHING's gotta go in that 2 AM timeslot that Lupin currently occupies.

How about:

I thought Unicorn was better, but IBO was easier to follow. Looking waaaaaaaaaay down the line, it will be interesting to see which non-UC Gundam series will be the 7th to air on U.S. TV. So far it's been Gundam Wing, G Gundam, SD Gundam Force, Gundam Seed, Gundam 00, and Gundam IBO. I'd say it hasn't been created yet, unless it would be Gundam AGE or Gundam Build Fighters, though those two are a HUGE stretch!

I didn't mind Toonami starting at 11, but it has to be with PREMIERES of the RIGHT show. Samurai Jack in premieres WAS that show. In reruns, especially like the 6th time around? Not so much. My only thing is that unless a version of the schedule bump comes out early this week, the casual fans are gonna get another nasty surprise this Saturday night when they tune in and find that Family Guy is still on at 11 PM. Toonami needs to produce a new schedule promo and run the hell out of it or else it may take a ratings hit on July 8th. The only silver lining is that Family Guy at 11 PM will probably have built its audience by the time JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders premieres on July 29th!

Who wants to see a few dub clips from Anime Expo 2017?? Unfortunately, I can't embed them. The best I can do is a link to the Tweets: And finally, Araki gives his regards:
