Goten "Can't we just get it from a toilet?!" LOL!! Uh oh, who's this?? SNAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!

So Laura Bailey voices Videl? Or is it Young Goten or young Trunks? Her range is so impressive I'm surprised you could tell it was her!

Yeah, a couple of flying kids would freak me out too! SAITAMA cameo! And of course we get a Gundam Unicorn promo!

Videl's new character design is gonna take some getting used to!

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!

"Satan City!" So it's like Las Vegas? Or L.A.? Which one is it, Hercule??

I like how he's mocking them! It's funny! He took half!

"Previously on Dragonball Z..." Wow, really!?

That's just near-Trump levels of narcissism speaking! 3 minutes!!!

I don't get why they don't just go ahead and call the 8 PM hour the "Toonami Prime" hour and give it bumpers, beginning next week! Hey, maybe the baby worm from Intruder III will grow up quickly, end up hosting it, and be voiced by one of the Miguzi VA's. Now THAT would be funny!

I was poking fun at the fact that it's coming on Adult Swim first by using an Adult Swim bumper style instead of a Toonami style. BTW, should this thread be for the 8 PM discussion or the 11:30 PM discussion?

If you believe Anime News Network, it would be #99. But I guess we'll never know for sure!

We'll have a new OP, but the ED is good ol' Roundabout! Gee, where will we ever find time for all these new OPs? Super, KFC, JoJo, and Gundam Unicorn will ALL have one! Dig deeper into the 1938 New York world of Joseph Joestar, tomorrow night (1/7/17) at 12:30 AM Only Toonami!

Episode #1: "A Peacetime Reward: Who Gets The 100,000,000 Zeni?" It's DragonBall, animated in Japan in 2015. And it's on Toonami. You've got a hundred million reasons to watch, so watch and enjoy! 8 PM AND 11:30 PM EST [Kamehameha, bitch!] 11:30 PM TOONAMI airing Discussion - Click here: http://unevenedge.imfapp.in/toonami/dragonball-super-episode-1-discussion!/50/ If you don't want to be spoiled, DON'T CLICK on pages 2-5!

So, how many actual Gundam Frames (not just "Grazes") were featured in Season 1, anyway? Does Gaelio pilot one of them? Also, Gaelio was a "7 Star", a name which confuses the hell out of me. Is "7 Star" a title only, or does it mean that there are 7 of them? Carta Issue was one as well. Does this mean that at the end of Season 1, 2 of them are dead and there are 5 more left to go? Kudelia blows her cover, and it's a cease fire until the next almost actionless episode, which we will get to see about half to 2/3 of on the stream!

I believe the only thing that Super is taking a break for is true [as] World Premieres like Samurai Jack Season 5 and/or FLCL Season 2, and of course that's only if expansion to 11 PM is impossible. There is another issue that CN might expand to take 8-9 PM back from [as] again. If that's the case, they might give Super a break after Season 1 since it might not be able to air at 11:30 without its 8 PM "sneak peek" on [as]. It could still be that all we get from Super this year is expanded versions of the movies. Then again, maybe Super is solvent enough that even if CN re-expands to 9 PM, it can just air at 9 PM? As for AOT S2? Well, it would only be a broadcast dub so most likely it would have to air at 12:30 AM, where it could get away with a marked increase in gore a lot easier than 11:30.

Episode #16 just streamed, and your last chance to see Fumitan's tragic death as she sacrifices her life to protect Kudelia. Episode #17 is action-packed and it's streaming now!

Remember, guys, we have Q&A tonight! Will Jason & Gill answer YOUR burning question? We'll find out tonight! And of course I'll be participating in the live discussion with my old Boards login like I usually do for Pre-Flight! LIVE UPDATES DRAGONBALL SUPER TOPICALS CONFIRMED!! 3 or more Convention appearances confirmed for 2017! No movies? Let's hope they change their tune by 11/4/17... Everything else was complete crap. Oh wait, NOT OVER YET! The sneak peeks were great, with an actual lineup promo featuring all 8 shows, a DBS Topical, and a Sand Whale & Me trailer!

Episode #19 on the stream now, for the last time this week! There's great action in this one, so I hope you're along for the ride!

You might get another chance to see episodes #16 & #17 later this afternoon before 6:30 PM, but for now, Episode #18 is streaming for what most likely will be its last time. In this episode, Atra decides she'd like to "do revolution", and Mikazuki goes all Edwin Mccain on both her and Kudelia: He'll be her crying shoulder alright!

No question that DBZ Super probably won't have a hiatus as long as new episodes are available, and DBZ KFC will probably run all 60-odd episodes with only marathon breaks, but what about some of the other shows? Could JoJo take a break before Part 3? Could Hunter x Hunter break after the York New Arc? And what about Shippuden? Maybe Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga's dub would take the place of HxH or Shippuden for a brief time, before those shows return with brand-spankin' new promos? (And then Shippuden would FINALLY get a promo!) Would these shows going on hiatus freak people out to the point where they believe they've been cancelled? (Of course, One Piece is so far behind it has no business taking a break, but then again you could say the same for Shippuden). JoJo is still on-going in Japan but Hunter x Hunter is not, so I guess it would be more likely to take a seasonal break than any of the others. But that 1:30 AM slot isn't exactly coveted. And I guess now that I think of it, DB Super just MIGHT run 26 episodes over the first half of the year, then break for Samurai Jack and/or FLCL. So many unanswered questions that will be answered soon in the new year!

Yes, Dragon Ball Super and DBZ KFC are both dub premieres, as is Hunter x Hunter, but still, looking through the lineup on my on-screen guide, I notice something: the lack of any shows which say "(2017)": DB Super (2015) DBZ KFC (2015) JoJo (2012) Gundam Unicorn (2016) Hunter x Hunter (2012) Shippuden (2009) One Piece (2008) One-Punch Man (2015) To the unseasoned observer, Gundam Unicorn looks like the newest show, but its animation is actually mostly from 2010, and like JoJo, it's not a true dub premiere because it was previously streaming. The lack of any 2017 shows should be short-lived, however. We will most likely get Samurai Jack for the 20th Anniversary, and of course Attack on Titan Season 2 would also be 2017. The question is, is that distinction enough to put these shows AHEAD of Super and expand Toonami again to 11 PM, or will they be after DBZ KFC at 12:30? I sincerely doubt [as] would work so hard on Jack and then give it 12:30, but I'd say even an AOT S2 Simuldub might take JoJo's place after Part 2. What do y'all think?

As bad as NYE did, it still wasn't the worst marathon yet. That dubious honor actually goes to the Akame ga KILL! marathon on 10/31/15. This is somewhat surprising, when you consider those two shows also have the highest-rated Toonami episodes yet. And of course, two lineups in 2014 (Thanksgiving weekend's regular lineup and 12/13/14's "Hellsing X/FMA Milos unholy mega-bomb combo") also fell to it. I think premiering shorts during rerun marathons is a good move. Sometimes they take us by surprise (see David Gilmour's "Rattle That Lock" during the Michiko & Hatchin marathon and Death Cab For Cutie's video during the Samurai Champloo marathon), but it seems to work out slightly better if they're planned. I THINK High On Fire's video was supposed to premiere during the One-Punch Man marathon, but somehow it got bumped to the following weekend.

Episode #12 played one last time right before 6:30, and in it I noticed something: Mikazuki abandons the spear-club thingy along with all the other space debris, and the final scene of season one depicts it one more time. I wonder if he picks it up on the way back to Mars and uses it again in Season 2? But I digress. The stream has advanced to the latter half of the Dort arc and arrival on Earth in Episodes #16-#20!

Here's what I got for the retention and averages: 12:00 AM DBZ Kai Marathon 679,000 (60.41%) 12:30 AM DBZ Kai Marathon 686,000 (101.03%) 1:00 AM DBZ Kai Marathon 658,000 (95.92%) 1:30 AM DBZ Kai Marathon 629,000 (95.59%) 2:00 AM DBZ Kai Marathon 591,000 (93.96%) 2:30 AM DBZ Kai Marathon 494,000 (83.59%) 3:00 AM DBZ Kai Marathon 482,000 (97.57%) TOTAL VIEWERS AVERAGE - 602,714 12:00 AM DBZ Kai Marathon 365,333 (59.93%) 12:30 AM DBZ Kai Marathon 396,000 (108.39%) 1:00 AM DBZ Kai Marathon 386,000 (97.47%) 1:30 AM DBZ Kai Marathon 358,000 (92.75%) 2:00 AM DBZ Kai Marathon 348,000 (97.21%) 2:30 AM DBZ Kai Marathon 291,000 (83.62%) 3:00 AM DBZ Kai Marathon 294,000 (101.03%) TOTAL VIEWERS AVERAGE - 348,333 The fairly sizable uptick in both at 12:30 is most likely a result of Shelter playing. It was also relatively convenient for NYE revelers to tune in and check out, then turn off their TVs. If nothing else it provided something better to watch than Mariah Carey's massive meltdown! Family Guy only got 1124K and a 0.48 in Adults 18-49 at 11:30. I'm SURE DragonBall Super can beat that!
