The deck is REALLY stacked against Toonami tonight. It's up against a boxing match, a UFC PPV, and not one but TWO NBA Playoff games! Hopefully Attack On Titan's Season 2 premiere managed to lift its ratings out of the gutter, but I guess we'll find out Tuesday morning! Here's my "realistic" prediction: Show: Total Viewers/Adults 18-49/Adults 18-34 DBS 8 PM: ~800K/450K/250K Samurai Jack: ~1.2M/800K/600K Dragon Ball Super: ~1.0M/700K/NA Dragon Ball Kai FC: ~900K/600K/450K Attack on Titan: ~1.0M/700K/500K Tokyo Ghoul: ~900K/600K/400K Hunter x Hunter: ~800K/500K/NA Gundam Unicorn: ~700K/450K/300K Shippuden: ~650K/400K/NA Ghost In The Shell: ~600K/350K/NA I.e.: I believe AOT will produce a modest gain over DBZ Kai, just as OPM gained modestly from it last year.

The Tron-ish ID AGAIN!? It's cool, but it's gonna get old at this rate...

Guess we don't get topicals or next-episode previews this time. That's unfortunate!

Tobin on The Walking Dead is all I know. I was wondering when the Main Trio were going to be involved... WHAT THE HELL?!

They're worried about bears!? Someone feed Sasha--uh oh...

She did--right back on the wall!

IT'S SHOWTIME!!!

OMG it's really time!!! Attack on Titan Episode #26 is NEXT on Toonami!!!

The worm thing was introduced at the end of Intruder 3. It belongs here.

Guess no one had a sharp eye! >

Yeah, just look up Deadman Wonderland for another example of that! And that WAS a Toonami show with a semi-successful manga which will probably never get a 2nd season despite selling pretty well over here, as its sales SUCKED in Japan! You might even say that we know how to market action shows better than Japan--so maybe what action anime needs is a "Toonami Japan" block??

Enough about that; we've got a new streaming lineup: 1. Samurai Jack #55 - XCIV - TV-14V 2. Dragonball Super #12 - The Universe Will Shatter? Clash! Destroyer vs. Super Saiyan God! - TV-14 3. Sand Whale and Me #2 - Search and Destroy - TV-PGV 4. Dragonball Z Kai #110 - What Happened, Piccolo? An Unexpected Outcome in the First Round - TV-PGLV 5. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure #22 - A True Warrior - TV-MAV 6. Tokyo Ghoul #1 - Tragedy - TV-MAV 7. Hunter x Hunter #44 - Buildup to a Fierce Battle! - TV-14V 8. Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn RE:0096 #12 - A Private War - TV-14LV 9. Naruto Shippuden #151 - Master and Student - TV-PGL 10. Ghost in the Shell: STAND ALONE COMPLEX #8 - MISSING HEARTS - TV-14L [enjoy]

It's back on right now! The difference is tonight's episode is the same as the one which premiered on the Stream this evening--cut down to 11 minutes of course!

It is with a heavy heart that I feel I must inform the UEMB that Ed Blaylock of Fuhrer Bradley in Fullmetal Alchemist fame has passed away at the age of 64. More here: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2017-04-22/fullmetal-alchemist-one-piece-voice-actor-ed-blaylock-passes-away/.115157 Well, at least he managed to outlive his most famous character by a few years, as both versions of Fuhrer Bradley died at about age 60 (FMAB's might have lived to be 61 due to the timeskip). And of course this explains why he wasn't cast in the upcoming season of Attack on Titan as the official who exonerates Armin...

To be fair, it was pretty popular over here. It was even dubbed on FUNimation NOW! Hell, if you have a subscription, you can still watch it! https://www.funimation.com/shows/keijo/

I shall!

I bother because my phone isn't working properly and it keeps restarting. Even if it was, I'd have limited functions that wouldn't enable me to do it justice to begin with. Plus It's either sacrifice my social life 2 nights a week or make the threads, then edit them later. I choose the latter. You can't deny that while they look rather silly to begin with, they usually end up alright!

EPISODE #16: The Side Co-Prosperity Sphere OP: "Into The Sky" by SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]:Tielle ED: "bL∞dy f8 -eUC-" by SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]:Aimer Stay up late to catch another great episode tomorrow night (4/22/17) at 2 AM! ONLY TOONAMI!!

Tokyo Ghoul returns from being banished by last week's doubleshot of JoJo tomorrow night! (4/22/17) Who says 1 AM is too late for "Supper?" Besides, it's only 10 PM on the west coast; that's a completely acceptable suppertime, right?? Ah, just watch the show and enjoy. We all know Samurai Jack through AOT is the main course, but this is like dessert, right? Bloody, fleshy dessert! [mmmmmmm]

If you haven't seen them yet, this afternoon will probably be your last chance to see Episodes 6-10 for a while before Pre-Flight takes over at 8 PM ET. And Episode 11, individually streaming, expires tomorrow at Midnight if you'd like to continue the cliffhanger which ends Episode 10 with JoJo vs. Count Straizo!

I had hoped that since Samurai Jack's Toonami premiere hit its season low in both total viewers and adults 18-34, as well as was just 7K above it in 18-49, the Wednesday night rerun might have gotten a bit higher ratings than usual. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case: http://programminginsider.com/ratings/final-nationals/wednesday-final-nationals-fargo-return-fx-slightly-previous-season-premiere/ The 10 PM Wednesday airing only managed a 0.42 in 18-49 (~538K), a full 0.04 lower than the previous low (~590K), and it was only up from the series low on week 2 in total viewers by a mere 8k.

Why is this not in Dumpster Fires?

Whoa, I didn't see that coming! Do they do that with Dragon Ball Super? I've seen a massive crapton of plays of the topical commercial for the 15th episode of DBS tonight, and quite a few plays of the Samurai Jack S5E6 topical, but I haven't seen ONE play of the Attack on Titan promo, as the only mention I've seen of AOT at all was during the Toonami lineup promo which aired at the end of Samurai Jack, and I've at least been half-watching from Samurai Jack at 10 PM through the Boondocks at 12:15 AM! But at any rate, if the show takes a break on Toonami for Memorial Day, it will probably also take a break that week on FUNimation NOW.

FUNimation is only posting the subtitled version of the show, NOT the dub. The dub will be exclusive to [as] and Toonami for a while!

That doesn't always work with abbreviations! Also, I hope everyone's watching Samurai Jack tonight! We need it to keep kicking butt in the ratings on Wednesday night!
