http://toonamifaithful.com/toonami-trending-rundown-for-march-11-12-2017/ Looking at trending, I think it's very safe to say that UFC had some sort of effect, as for the mainstay of the night it locked Toonami out of the #1 spot. Only Samurai Jack broke through: United States Trends: Toonami [#2] #SamuraiJack/Samurai Jack (Also during the West Coast airing) [#1] #JackIsBack [#3] #DragonBallSuper [#5] #DBZKai [#3] #JoJosBizarreAdventure [#3] #GundamUnicorn [#3] #HunterXHunter [#3] #Shippuden [#3] #OnePiece [#2] #GhostInTheShell [#2] Click the above link and you'll find it was UFC that took the #1 spot most of the night, not Jack. And what the hell is up with Dragonball Super only reaching #5!? Worldwide Trends: #SamuraiJack [#1] #DragonBallSuper [#7] #DBZKai [#9] #JoJosBizarreAdventure [#8] #GundamUnicorn [#8] #HunterXHunter [#8] #OnePiece [#6] #GhostInTheShell [#7] Well, at least all shows except Shippuden made the Top 10 Worldwide, and of course Jack accomplished the rare feat of a #1 trend Worldwide! Tweet Counts: Toonami [13.2k tweets] #SamuraiJack [36.9k tweets] Samurai Jack [37.2k tweets] #DragonBallSuper [4,873 tweets] #DBZKai [2,217 tweets] #JoJosBizarreAdventure [2,795 tweets] #HunterXHunter [1,718 tweets] #OnePiece [4,443 tweets] Those are some HUGE tweet counts for Samurai Jack! Too bad Gundam and Shippuden's tweet counts were missed somehow!

I doubt it. One Piece needs a weeknight timeslot to blow through all the previously dubbed material to get to dub premieres before returning to Toonami on Saturday night. Of course, it won't get it. I think maybe when DBZ Kai ends, One Piece might be back. But the same arc it's leaving on? Doubt that. It should be a dub premiere.

I often fantasize after the events of Kill la Kill as aired on Toonami (perhaps before the OVA Episode 25 set 6 months later) that Ryuko and Mako are indeed a lesbian couple but they both use Gamagoori for the "designated dick" that gives both ladies what they can't physically give each other. One would expect something like this out of someone who is such a stickler for the rules on the street! He apparently likes Mako but would seemingly tolerate Ryuko. Don't know if he would hit it on Ryuko, but he definitely would on Mako while she eats Ryuko out or something. Those three would be quite freaky!

Yeah, catch it in half an hour!

Did anyone else notice this episode aired on March 12th? And had it been a week later, it would have aired on March 19th. The Ides of March is March 15th, so this was about as close to the Ides of March as the death of Caesar could get! Too bad this was lost on the target audience...

Yes, that was true! It was CN-west's first re-air! The 2nd is at 2:30 AM PDT!

That's just not true! Soul Eater had an average start time of 1:24 AM and did about as well as InuYasha: The Final Act with its average start time of 1:25 AM!

Watch episodes 1-10 of Sword Art Online II one last time this week while Toonami still has the rights! Episodes 1-5 just started anew one last time today (3/15/17), so catch them while you can!

I'd be inclined to agree except that no show's timeslot changed. They were doing yearly highs or just below before Jack hit, and the fact that now they've stumbled so low is frustrating and perplexing! A more likely upset may occur on 3/25 when Tokyo Ghoul hits and actually knocks 3 shows down 30 minutes. It could also have something to do with blizzards or something? Still, that Jack's audience dwindled down to a little more than a third just 2 hours later is far from encouraging.

You're not reading it wrong; however, that's the 8 PM Super premiere, not the 11:30 near-premiere JoJo has beat Super at 8 PM in key demos every week since the latter premiered at the beginning of the year.

We still don't know if Samurai Jack beat its Family Guy lead-in in the 10 PM hour, but we DO know it beat previous weeks at 11 PM: Date Time Total Viewers Adults 18-49 1/7/2017 FamGuy 11:00 PM 1,629,000 940,000 1/14/2017 FamGuy 11:00 PM 1,433,000 868,000 1/21/2017 FamGuy 11:00 PM 1,389,000 794,000 1/28/2017 FamGuy 11:00 PM 1,423,000 808,000 2/4/2017 FamGuy 11:00 PM 1,436,000 893,000 2/11/2017 FamGuy 11:00 PM 1,564,000 921,000 2/18/2017 FamGuy 11:00 PM 1,427,000 825,000 2/25/2017 FamGuy 11:00 PM 1,434,000 810,000 3/4/2017 FamGuy 11:00 PM 1,329,000 820,000 3/11/2017 JACK!!! 11:00 PM 1,552,000 974,000 Keep in mind that 974K for Jack's 18-49 is an estimate based on 0.76 in 18-49, but it still blows away Family Guy's average of 853K and beats every single previous week in 2017. And Jack's 1552K in total viewers also beats every week of Family Guy but two, and of course also the average of 1452K by pretty much exactly 100K! And THIS is kinda neat, but with SBD this site is about as useless as Dio calls everything now: http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/daily-ratings/saturday-cable-ratings-march-11-2017/

I don't think DB Super needs to be cancelled, but I do believe if Attack on Titan Season 2 is JoJo's temporary replacement, it should move up to 11:30 and Super reruns down to 12:30. Which is ironic since the highest-rated episode of anything so far on [as] Toonami featured a segment from the movie that was remade into the upcoming arc of Super, but that wouldn't happen until April 29th, and there might be enough episodes of Super down that we get through that. As for Hunter x Hunter, it's at 2 AM where it can only affect itself, Shippuden, and GITS reruns, so who the hell cares?

THE BAD: JoJo and Gundam REALLY crapped the bed. And a lighthearted DBZ Kai Final Chapters apparently didn't do them any favors. Hopefully when Babidi and Buu appear, that will change, but I'm not holding my breath. THE UGLY: Well, so much for continuity helping out! THIS is why Tokyo Ghoul is coming at 1 AM in 2 weeks. At this point, the Super rerun, DBZKFC, and JoJo are little more than sacrificial lambs to the great and powerful SNL, but hopefully that has a huge audience come back to Toonami after SNL and that bleeds over to Gundam and even Hunter x Hunter!

#27 of all time? Yeah, I'd say that's pretty popular!

I just happen to find "clusterfudge" funnier! But the clusterfuck is indeed coming to an end, at least as far as we're concerned: UPDATE #4: http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/wednesday-5-11-2016-fast-nationals-delayed.html We shall know how well Samurai Jack did at about 10 AM tomorrow morning!

Well folks, the clusterfudge continues!! Part 3... http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/wednesday-5-11-2016-fast-nationals-delayed.html

Slight update: http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/wednesday-5-11-2016-fast-nationals-delayed.html Update coming like 7 PM tonight...

I don't believe ZERO control is correct, as the programming department probably values their input, but they (not Toonami staff) also have the final say.

Well, here's an update: http://deadline.com/2017/03/tv-ratings-delayed-again-nielsen-the-bachelor-the-voice-deadline-advisory-1202042998/

No; Florida, believe it or not. Also, delays confirmed to continue with no end in sight. http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/wednesday-5-11-2016-fast-nationals-delayed.html

Not quite. It depends on if Viz uses the first 3 episodes' test dub as premiered on Crunchyroll (and then pretty much disappeared without a trace) on July 5, 2014.

Wow, I stand corrected! So 1 AM it is, and paired with JoJo and whatever the hell replaces it. So dub premieres at 12 AM and 2 AM--IT'S LIKE LATE 2013 ALL OVER AGAIN, When Bleach and Sword Art Online were the only 2 dub premieres--and in those same time slots!!! Except that there's that 11 PM hour before it this time, but Samurai Jack is a WORLD premiere, while DB Super is a near-premiere--but both are just barely disqualified from being dub premieres for wildly different reasons! Of course, this won't be the case for very long. I'm giving Unicorn like 95% odds of being replaced by Gundam IBO S2, which will be a dub premiere like its predecessor, and of course if they do just keep on truckin' with JoJo at 12:30, that becomes dub premiere with Episode 4 of Part 3. In fact, since JoJo retains 12:30, I daresay JoJo WILL most likely continue or at least be replaced with a dub premiere. At that point, the only non-dub premiere from 12-2:30 AM would be...Tokyo Ghoul. Hmmm...

http://tvlistings.zap2it.com/tvlistings/ZCGrid.do?fromTimeInMillis=1490500800000&aid=zap2it Hunter x Hunter fans, it finally happened. After rising to 12:30 once upon a time for some of the Hunter Exam arc in June and July, Hunter x Hunter has apparently fallen to 2 AM for the Yorknew arc. Meanwhile, Gundam Unicorn seems to have fallen to 1:30 but that's not really a major loss, even if its later OVA volumes are a bit harder to find. Most surprising is that JoJo, with its low retention average rate of 79.5% in 2017, gets to hang onto 12:30, while two shows that retained 89.7% and 91.7% respectively on average look to be falling back 30 minutes. That may indicate something better coming soon to that timeslot, but hopefully whatever it is works well with Tokyo Ghoul if it isn't more JoJo. DISCLAIMER: This is a reputable TV Schedule site but it is NOT official and so this is still subject to change. EDITED: Zap2it has re-arranged the order of the shows. Ghoul remains at 1 and HxH at 1:30, knocking Gundam down to 2. I believe this is a wise choice given Gundam's lackluster ratings, but I still hope IBO Season 2 is coming and gets a boost somehow.

Bewaaare the Ides of March...

But Nicktoons never showed these episodes!
