It's featuring WAAAAAAY back in the Heaven's Arena arc though, the Hisoka/Castro showdown! Edit: I have figured out now that it's most likely 31-35, which aired on Toonami all the way back in December and January, and are pretty much transitional episodes of Heaven's Arena. #31 features the conclusion of the showdown with Kastro, which Hisoka wins, and #35 ends with Gon getting his first good punch on Hisoka. It's yet to be seen if the stream will advance to #36-#40 at 7 PM this afternoon, but you've at least got a couple more chances to catch this run of episodes!

Oh, G Gundam. Right... I wonder how Origins (the new OVA remake of the original Mobile Suit Gundam) would do on Toonami now that Unicorn has been a moderate bomb. Hopefully it will get its chance, but somehow I doubt it. And then there's Gundam Thunderbolt, which given its 18-minute runtime per episode would be pretty much perfect to host a TIE, but then again there's no way they'll try a UC Gundam again far enough up the lineup. It could host the weekly weird-ass music video, though!

I'd say that depends on what Adult Swim has lined up at 11 PM. My Hero Academia would probably do awesome! But if Toonami drops 11 PM and it goes back to [as] and Family Guy, it'll still probably be OK. But I guess we'll find out the June 3rd schedule soon!

I was shocked that we were able to rag on AOT for not beating what Gundam Unicorn's peak has been so far in its first 3 weeks (826K/523K 18-49 vs. 908K/525K 18-49), but it looks like 4th time's the charm: 5/13/2017 Dragon Ball Super (8 PM) - #8 (+3) Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.41 Estimated 18-34 - 279,000 ( 32.22% ) Adults 18-49 Rating - 0.33 Estimated 18-49 - 423,000 ( 48.85% ) Total Viewers - 866,000 5/13/2017 Samurai Jack - #1 (STEADY) Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.80 Estimated 18-34 - 544,000 ( 40.99% ) Adults 18-49 Rating - 0.63 Estimated 18-49 - 808,000 ( 60.89% ) Total Viewers - 1,327,000 5/13/2017 DBZ Kai: Final Chapters - #2 (+1) Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.61 Estimated 18-34 - 415,000 ( 37.49% ) Adults 18-49 Rating - 0.53 Estimated 18-49 - 679,000 ( 61.34% ) Total Viewers - 1,107,000 5/13/2017 Attack On Titan - #6 (-2) Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.50 Estimated 18-34 - 340,000 ( 35.75% ) Adults 18-49 Rating - 0.45 Estimated 18-49 - 577,000 ( 60.67% ) Total Viewers - 951,000 5/13/2017 Tokyo Ghoul - #7 (STEADY) Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.45 .

Well, at least it didn't lose that badly from DBZ KFC this week even if it is still a pretty rough drop! I just wish Gundam Unicorn could do a little better. It's only managed a 700K+ ONCE in that timeslot. All of the material adapted from the last 3 OVAs is doing fewer than 600K viewers so far. Compare that to what Shippuden and One Piece have done in that timeslot, and it's quite depressing!

And if you miss it tonight, you've got at least one more chance to catch it for the foreseeable future at 9:50 AM tomorrow, so set your DVRs if you like most Americans have to work tomorrow!

I'll...just leave this here.

Yeah, I'd say some of that eventually rubbed off on me, actually, back in the original days of the Adult Swim ratings report, which was more than just a Toonami thread back then!

Now as for how I rank the 9 shows: #9: Dragon Ball Super - Mostly god-awful filler but at least there's good stuff on the horizon... #8: DBZ KFC - We interrupt the battle to stop Majin Buu for a 5-way battle royale! #7: Naruto: Shippuden - Closer and closer to the mystery of Pain... #6: Tokyo Ghoul - Probably the most gripping action the show has had yet! #5: Gundam Unicorn - Just when you thought Riddhe was finally about to redeem himself, he goes and does THAT!? #4: Ghost in the Shell - A classic episode that was an absolute TREAT to finally see in HD. #3: Hunter x Hunter - Meet Chrollo, leader of the Phantom Troupe. Super emo. Super intense! #2: Samurai Jack - All's fair in love and war, I guess! And the strange saga of Scaramouche also came to a surprising end! #1: Attack on Titan - The Titan attack got even more fierce, and then one of the guard revealed a shocking secret!

Not really true for Attack on Titan, if you want the dub. But ALMOST true, since one only needs to wait a day before it shows up on FUNimation NOW!

A double-down night would certainly be interesting! It would also be an interesting ratings experiment to see if shows do better! And I guess people wouldn't hate on taking a 3-week break from Hunter x Hunter that much!

One could argue something similar happened in this country on 11/9/16... LATER!!

Batou's mouth just hangs open, dumbfounded at this!

I'll have to rewatch; somehow I missed that. Fortunately my trusty DVR will allow me to rewind 1.5 hours so I can do so more effortlessly! [yes, I'm lazy...]

The first time I ever saw this episode back in 2005, I remember looking away from the screen, and then hearing those voices, then looking at the screen and seeing the spider-bots, and then I thought "wow, this is weird!!"

Or rather the "fem-bot!"

Oh hell yeah! One of my faves of Season 1, probably my #1!

Yeah, I get it, but that doesn't entitle you to drag it into every conversation where it's not even remotely relevant! NOW GETTING BACK TO THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDGING TOPIC: Stuff like that is why I love this show!

It's always so anticlimactic when they cast summoning jutsu only to summon toads and slugs. Where the fuuuuuuuuuuudging dragons??

Ok, I'll admit Dr. Stylish was bad! And Leeron was just hilarious! Especially in Rossiu's arc!

You're right! Dragonball Super IS playing on the West Coast right now!

Ok, I'll bite. What were Bulat and Leeron, chopped liver?? Also, if your theory about Speedwagon is right, he certainly wasn't villainous beyond Episode 2!

If you think we'll learn what the Box is next week...

RIDDHE... Oh, using THIS weapon again!

Wow, the Unicorn just got attacked with geometry. Gotta admit I didn't see that one coming! Don't fight it, Riddhe! You must redeem yourself!

Toonami posted these GIFs back on April 29th. AND THEY JUST NOW APPEARED IN THE EPISODE TONIGHT!!
