I'll bet Gundam Unicorn is your new favorite show on Toonami these days, since it has Bleach's narrator for recaps!

The stream has advanced to Episodes 6-10, just as I predicted. Hopefully next time AOT comes up in the rotation we'll see 11-20 instead, then the next time, the week before S2 premieres, 16-25 I guess? Of course, they also might just move on to 16-25 because 11-15 are BORING as hell!

In DVR Theater, 4 AM/3 AM Central on weeknights. Must have been a February Black History thing, because it's only got 2 nights left: tonight and tomorrow. It'll be replaced by FishCenter and Assy McGee! Assy's back!!

What weird titles for the new Samurai Jack episodes. We ended the original run with "LII", or 52, but now here's what we have: 3/11/17 - "XCII" which is "92" in Roman numerals 3/18/17 - "XCIII" which is "93" in Roman numerals I wonder why the jump--could it be consistent with the timeskip? I wish they had gone with a different scheme for the last 10 episodes, and this one apparently ends at "CI," or 101, so it really doesn't make much sense. I don't get it.

Here's the rundown: ADULTS 18-49 RETENTION 8:00 PM Dragon Ball Super 507,000 0.35 8:30 PM Samurai Jack 380,000 (74.95%) 0.24 11:00 PM Family Guy 810,000 11:30 PM Dragon Ball Super 683,000 (84.32%) 0.56 12:00 AM DBZ Kai: The Final Chapters 647,000 (94.73%) 0.49 12:30 AM JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 551,000 (85.16%) 0.37 1:00 AM Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn 499,000 (90.56%) 0.31 1:30 AM Hunter × Hunter 469,000 (93.99%) 0.33 2:00 AM Naruto: Shippuden 442,000 (94.24%) 0.31 2:30 AM One Piece 353,000 (79.86%) 0.27 3:00 AM Ghost In The Shell HD 327,000 (92.63%) 0.23 ADULTS 18-49 TOONAMI AVERAGE - 496,375 TOTAL VIEWERS RETENTION 8:00 PM Dragon Ball Super 1,073,000 8:30 PM Samurai Jack 808,000 (75.30%) 11:00 PM Family Guy 1,434,000 11:30 PM Dragon Ball Super 1,232,000 (85.91%) 12:00 AM DBZ Kai: The Final Chapters 1,162,000 (94.32%) 12:30 AM JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 974,000 (83.82%) 1:00 AM Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn 907,000 (93.12%) 1:30 AM Hunter × Hunter 827,000 (91.18%) 2:00 AM Naruto: Shippuden 767,000 (92.74%) 2:30 AM One Piece 603,000 (78.62%) 3:00 AM Ghost In The Shell HD 579,000 (96.02%) TOTAL VIEWERS AVERAGE - 881,375 Highest total viewers average yet in 2017, and 2nd highest average in 2017 for 18-49. That's pretty darn good, but I have a feeling what Toonami can do with new Samurai Jack will do as the flagship show will dwarf it. Moving on to the current show averages: CURRENT SHOW AVERAGES Total Viewers Dragon Ball Super (8 PM) - 926,875 (8 episodes) Samurai Jack Rerun (8:30 PM) - 673,143 (7 episodes) Dragon Ball Super (11:30 PM) - 1,211,375 (8 episodes) Dragon Ball Z Kai: Final Chapters - 1,090,250 (8 episodes) Jojo's Bizarre Adventure - 938,167 (18 episodes) Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn - 762,250 (8 episodes) Hunter × Hunter - 862,225 (40 episodes) Naruto: Shippuden - 876,139 (147 episodes) One Piece - 790,703 (175 episodes) Ghost In The Shell HD - 515,750 (4 episodes) Adults 18-49 Dragon Ball Super (8 PM, Estimate) - 440,625 (8 episodes) Samurai Jack Rerun (8:30, Estimate) - 319,000 (7 episodes) Dragon Ball Super (11:30 PM) - 726,875 (8 episodes) Dragon Ball Z Kai: Final Chapters - 647,375 (8 episodes) Jojo's Bizarre Adventure - 564,833 (18 episodes) Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn - 453,125 (8 episodes) Hunter × Hunter - 508,525 (40 episodes) Naruto: Shippuden - 484,828 (130 episodes) One Piece - 430,262 (130 episodes) Ghost In The Shell HD - 321,000 (4 episodes) Adults 18-34 (Estimated) Dragon Ball Super (8 PM) - 295,143 (7 episodes) Dragon Ball Z Kai: Final Chapters - 442,500 (8 episodes) Jojo's Bizarre Adventure - 380,278 (18 episodes) Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn - 312,375 (8 episodes) Not really much to say here. Unicorn still looks feeble compared with the averages of its surrounding shows, and I don't see that changing. That's really unfortunate, because it was long-awaited.

I agree. Maybe that's why Episode 8 seemed to do so well; it slowed the action down a little and gave us the opportunity to know the characters and their motivations. However, what's interesting is TWO OVAs came out before episode 8, which is part of the 3rd OVA! Apparently the lack of backstory didn't hurt theatrical releases of the first two OVAs in Japan!

First 4 shows' numbers are in courtesy of ShowBuzzDaily, and I'm happy to say they're pretty damn good!! http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-2-25-2017.html 2/25/2017 Dragon Ball Super (8 PM) - #11 Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.47 Estimated 18-34 - 319,000 ( 29.73% ) Adults 18-49 Rating - 0.40 Estimated 18-49 - 513,000 ( 47.81% ) Total Viewers - 1,073,000 2/25/2017 DBZ Kai: Final Chapters - #3 Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.62 Estimated 18-34 - 421,000 ( 36.23% ) Adults 18-49 Rating - 0.50 Estimated 18-49 - 641,000 ( 55.16% ) Total Viewers - 1,162,000 2/25/2017 JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - #7 Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.52 Estimated 18-34 - 353,000 ( 36.24% ) Adults 18-49 Rating - 0.43 Estimated 18-49 - 551,000 ( 56.57% ) Total Viewers - 974,000 2/25/2017 Gundam Unicorn - #13 Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.47 Estimated 18-34 - 319,000 ( 35.17% ) Adults 18-49 Rating - 0.39 Estimated 18-49 - 500,000 ( 55.13% ) Total Viewers - 907,000 In terms of total viewers and adults 18-49, that's a series high for Unicorn! Pretty good for an episode that was light on action but HEAVY on character development! Not to mention a series high for Super's 8 PM premiere in total viewers which pretty much tied its adults 18-49 number. The only stat these were kinda weak in was 18-34, but even that was better-than-average for 2017 for 3 out of the 4 shows; only Kai was below average. Of course, these numbers stand to be utterly blown away by the Samurai Jack-fronted lineup in 2 weeks, right? And we'll see more from this past week later!

Ahead of the ratings report, some good news: another stellar night of trending! http://toonamifaithful.com/toonami-trending-rundown-for-february-25-26-2017/#disqus_thread Every show hit #1 in the U.S. and #7 worldwide except for Shippuden, which only reached #8. Hopefully that means great ratings, but we all know it probably won't. But we'll see tomorrow for sure!

Well, then maybe democracy wouldn't be so great. I don't know what form of government is ideal. I guess I'll just go with "sapiocracy" or rule by smart people. Would be far better than the idiocracy-in-the-making we've got right now! Plus if you ask me, it's the scientists who wrote papers about climate change who should be making the policy decisions! Hopefully they wouldn't be so corrupt they'd do something like implant surveillance cameras in peoples' brains, just bringing it home to the topic of the thread!

If you wanna catch up on Season 1, [as] and Toonami got your back this week! Episodes 1-5 now through Ash Wednesday at 6:30; 6-10 after that. Head to www.adultswim.com/videos/streams/toonami to catch Episode 1! Hoping this is just part of a multi - week effort to catch people up to prepare us for Season 2!

Funny you should bring up Dimension W, because it premiered on Toonami exactly a year ago today! (And ended in May & hasn't been back since!)

Or you can change their heart and mind and you won't have to worry about them anymore, like what happened with Vegeta!

It's FOUR hours a week--becoming 4.5 in 2 weeks--maybe even 5! For my 1100th post I remind y'all Samurai Jack March 11th at 11:00 #MakeToonamiGreatAgain!

No, EVERYTHING will backfire! Like it will be impossible to be Republican and respected this time next year. That's how bad they will fuck it up! The two parties running for the election in 2020 will be the democrats and the Green party! [wishful thinking] But nah, Trump gonna get impeached.

Ok, you win. The Quad-wing and the Red Comet are at least higher-end suits, but they're also definitely not Gundam type! Well, the Red Comet might be, but we really don't know for sure.

I just love how this discussion has turned into little more than a bitch session about the Blu-Ray! And did y'all catch the inspiration for BabyCakes back there?

Hopefully they fix the damn Blu-Rays soon. I'll just wait a few months before I get them or something.

It's such a hilarious dissonance trying to watch this and DBZ KFC at the same time!

CANON STORY TIME!!! Let those Complex episodes roll!!!

REALLY?!? Well, that was stupid; on to One Piece's last canon episode for a while, right??

But this one worked about as well as Shelter.

I daresay might be Top 5! Nope, just missed it! #6 Dang is Invincible #5 Floridada - Animal Collective #4 High on Fire #3 Death Cab for Cutie's #2 Shelter AND MY #1 TOONAMI VIDEO IS... David Gilmour "Rattle That Lock!"

I know I won't like the answer, but WTF is Jose Quervo? I've heard of Jose CUERVO, but not "Quervo"...is that the gay version???

I can't even pay attention to this filler crap, nor take it very seriously! Thank GOD Samurai Jack is on in the west at this time in 2 weeks!

Yeah, I know! Rather surprising, ain't it! And not a know it all food critic bitch like Menchi either!
