Here comes the Sand Whale... ...AFTER COMMERCIALS!? WHAT!?

Could it possibly have something to do with that... ***SPOILERHAMMER!!!!*** ...

Oh no! I guess this will be the tail end of this episode? We've got Sand Whale coming up...

Is Spopovich a zombie?

Spopovich is a BEAST!

It did. DBZ Kai is on now! Toonami actually had a neat little intro too! While I'm kinda pissed about waiting ANOTHER week to see how Jack and Super continue, I'm at least thinking ratings won't be hurt TOO bad by this!

I thought I heard Assy actually talk! He does fart a lot anyway. What's interesting is Cartoon Network has actually kept the concept going by giving a bunch of main characters googly eyes!

What schedule? Looks pretty standard to me! http://www.adultswim.com/videos/schedule/

Still messed up but only slightly. Or maybe that techno wasn't actually part of the episode? Ozmo is the best show to have such crappy animation! It's actually got quite a complex plot!

I was watching with the sound off so I missed it.

Welp, looks like nothing for after midnight Friday night! [Just more Robot Chicken]

Episode #13: "Banager Links, Soldier" OP: "Into The Sky" by Tielle ED: "bL∞dy f8 -eUC-" by SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]:Aimer The Black Unicorn Who's piloting it? Find out Saturday night 4/1/17 at 2 AM [maybe] ONLY TOONAMI!

Only 4 episodes left until we may or may not get... STARDUST CRUSADERS!! 4/1/17 Saturday night 12:30 Only Toonami! Edit: As AOT S2 is coming 4/29, it is confirmed JoJo will take a break after Battle Tendency ends

Hey you, are you nostalgic for the days when Gundam came after JoJo and One Piece was still on the lineup? Well boy do I have a treat for you! It's almost the weekend, so after a brand-new Pre-Flight debuts at 8 PM tonight, here's the lineup you can enjoy along with it for the entire weekend: 1. Dragonball Super #9 - Thanks for Waiting, Lord Beerus! A Super Saiyan God is Born at Last! - TV-PG 2. Dragonball Z Kai #107 - Everyone is Surprised! Goten and Trunks' Super Battle! - TV-PGLV 3. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure #19 - A Race to the Brink - TV-MAV 4. Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn RE:0096 #9 - Retribution - TV-PGLV 5. Hunter x Hunter #41 - Gathering of Heroes - TV-PGL 6. Naruto Shippuden #148 - Heir to Darkness - TV-PG 7. One Piece #382 - The Slow-Slow Menace! "Silver Fox" Foxy Returns - TV-PGL 8. Ghost in the Shell: STAND ALONE COMPLEX #5 - DECOY - TV-14LS 5:1 odds of GITS still being screwed up...

SHOWTIME!!! Let's see what comes out of the panel... No news on Toonami continuing with the series, but Viz is rereleasing it on DVD/BD in a special new Limited Edition package! And apparently there was a preview for Diamond is Unbreakable? That doesn't even make sense! (I guess that's what "PV" stands for?) ["stands"--Get it?]

The Anime Boston panel is at 4 PM ET today. News on JoJo's fate on Toonami COULD be coming in less than an hour!!

Jack did the best it's done yet on Wednesday night! http://programminginsider.com/ratings/final-nationals/wednesday-final-nationals-imaginary-mary-abc-matches-second-highest-rated-midseason-comedy-debut-adults-18-49/ That's 1112K total viewers and a 0.53 18-49. I'm not at a computer to check this, but I think that might be over 700K 18-49... Edit: Nope--about 680K. Still awesome!

That would certainly explain WHY it's showing up in the Toonami Tumblr this week then. So, enjoy your 2:30 AM "Crowjob" this Saturday night, boys and girls! [complete with sound then]

Well that's just straight-up bizarre! Also, I think they stopped referring to Shippuden as "uncut" when it fell to 2 AM 2 years ago!

Trending also did damn good! http://toonamifaithful.com/toonami-trending-rundown-for-march-25-26-2017/ Every show back at #1 in the U.S. (Toonami #3), plus all except Jack #10 worldwide, and Jack #9!

Meanwhile, Tokyo Ghoul may have just saved Hunter x Hunter from falling below 500K 18-49 on average if it can keep this up!

Well folks, it's official: we have a new high for the year 2017!! http://programminginsider.com/ratings/final-nationals/saturday-final-nationals-tbs-dominates-night-ncaa-elite-8-doubleheader/ TOTAL VIEWERS RETENTION 8:00 PM Dragon Ball Super 821,000 10:30 PM Family Guy 1,273,000 11:00 PM Samurai Jack 1,352,000 (106.21%) 11:30 PM Dragon Ball Super 1,066,000 (78.85%) 12:00 AM Sand Whale & Me 1,018,000 (95.50%) 12:05 AM DBZ Kai: The Final Chapters 1,074,000 (105.50%) 12:30 AM JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 938,000 (87.34%) 1:00 AM Tokyo Ghoul 879,000 (93.71%) 1:30 AM Hunter × Hunter 805,000 (91.58%) 2:00 AM Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn 720,000 (89.44%) 2:30 AM Naruto: Shippuden 643,000 (89.31%) 3:00 AM Ghost In The Shell HD 499,000 (77.60%) TOTAL VIEWERS AVERAGE - 885,185 That beats the previous high of 881K from a month ago (2/25/17). Also, note that DBZ Kai FC actually BEAT the Toonami airing of DB Super for once and of course continued to gain markedly on Sandwhale and me. These trends are only more pronounced when you consider the 18-49 ratings: ADULTS 18-49 RETENTION 8:00 PM Dragon Ball Super 442,000 10:30 PM Family Guy 773,000 11:00 PM Samurai Jack 852,000 (110.22%) 11:30 PM Dragon Ball Super 652,000 (76.53%) 12:00 AM Sand Whale & Me 661,000 (101.38%) 12:05 AM DBZ Kai: The Final Chapters 694,000 (104.99%) 12:30 AM JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 650,000 (93.66%) 1:00 AM Tokyo Ghoul 570,000 (87.69%) 1:30 AM Hunter × Hunter 526,000 (92.28%) 2:00 AM Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn 478,000 (90.87%) 2:30 AM Naruto: Shippuden 407,000 (85.15%) 3:00 AM Ghost In The Shell HD 302,000 (74.20%) ADULTS 18-49 TOONAMI AVERAGE - 569,500 That average shatters the previous record for 2017 set last week and is actually the first time in 2017 that Toonami managed to beat 2016's 18-49 average across all timeslots of 531K! Also, note that Kai also beat Super in 18-49 and gained about the same on Sand Whale and Me, and Samurai Jack is a freaking BEAST, gaining more than 10% over its Family Guy lead-in, eclipsing it for the 3rd time in a row! Hopefully things only get better from here!

Somehow I believe Toonami will come through on that, even if Battle Tendency isn't doing as well as they had hoped.

Well OK then. The question is, would a minor recast such as this reclassify Episodes 1-3 of Stardust Crusaders as dub premieres?

Yes, coincidence. That show was on at 2:30 AM and wouldn't even affect anything at 2 AM that much, let alone 1 AM! Ghoul IS an improvement over Gundam at 1 AM though. Between the last 10 episodes of IBO Season 1 and the first 11 of Unicorn, it has averaged 319K 18-34, 478K 18-49, and 813K total viewers. Compare that to Ghoul's first episode's 408K 18-34, 564K (estimated) 18-49, and 879K overall. In fact, in its first week, Tokyo Ghoul has already done what Unicorn couldn't do--crack 400K 18-34, and in fact broken its personal best in 18-34 by 55K and 18-49 by about 40K. However, that being said, IBO still has the edge on it at 12:30 AM. So IBO Season 2 might still be considered the more valuable property if and when it arrives after Unicorn. I guess we'll see.
