Your last chance to see "File.01: Collector" on the stream this year begins now!! Who knows how long their deal for this show will last, but I guess it must be at least a 1-year deal! You'll hear numerous references to the D.A.B.; it means "Dimensional Administrative Bureau!" You'd probably do well to remember that. Hard to believe Mira and Kyoma started out as enemies!

Someone needs to mark this thread as containing character and ability name spoilers!! That being said, looks like JoJo comes down with a case of Toriyama disease! ;D

But they won't be airing it 11/26, that's for sure! I'm looking forward to seeing the same 6 premieres instead of having to wait another week for the dubbed continuation of those stories! Plus, maybe this weekend Gundam IBO will actually contain action?

SHOW AVERAGES SO FAR Dragonball Z Kai - 1,376,617 (94 episodes) JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - 1,034,200 (5 episodes) Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans - 951,818 (22 episodes) Hunter × Hunter - 916,857 (28 episodes) Naruto: Shippuden - 892,625 (136 episodes) One Piece - 805,411 (162 episodes) One Punch Man Rerun - 651,000 (4 episodes) ADULTS 18-49 Dragonball Z Kai - 793,489 (94 episodes) JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - 615,800 (5 episodes) Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans - 565,182 (22 episodes) Hunter × Hunter - 538,714 (28 episodes) Naruto: Shippuden - 492,548 (136 episodes) One Piece - 437,542 (162 episodes) One Punch Man Rerun - 394,000 (4 episodes) ADULTS 18-34 (Estimated) JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - 394,200 (5 episodes) Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans - 372,909 (22 episodes) Say what you want about JoJo being inferior to the likes of Akame ga KILL!, Dimension W, One-Punch Man, and even Parasyte, DBZ Kai was still doing worse in both total viewers (1001K) and Adults 18-49 (531K) on average through its first 5 episodes. Gundam IBO, on the other hand, is on track to be the worst-rated show with an average start time only 6 minutes later than the likes of KILL la KILL, Akame ga KILL!, and Dimension W. Finally, November 2016 itself has been the worst month for ratings since January 2015 (and that's just comparing the 12-3:30 AM time frame of both months), but fortunately it's not over yet. The final weekend could still beat the other 3, since it's comparatively light on competition, and Toonami has wisely opted to just let the normal lineup run instead of tossing on a marathon of reruns around the thrilling conclusion of Intruder 3! So hopefully America will be watching!

Well, I've got Exhibit B for you right here: 12:00 AM Dragon Ball Z Kai - 1,250,000 (78.32%) 12:30 AM Jojo's Bizarre Adventure 964,000 (77.12%) 1:00 AM Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans - 795,000 (82.47%) 1:30 AM Hunter × Hunter - 709,000 (89.18%) 2:00 AM Naruto: Shippuden - 637,000 (89.84%) 2:30 AM One Piece - 599,000 (94.03%) 3:00 AM One-Punch Man (rerun) - 632,000 (105.51%) TOTAL VIEWERS AVERAGE - 798,000 12:00 AM Dragon Ball Z Kai - 700,000 (82.27%) 12:30 AM Jojo's Bizarre Adventure - 539,000 (77.00%) 1:00 AM Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans - 446,000 (82.75%) 1:30 AM Hunter × Hunter - 414,000 (92.83%) 2:00 AM Naruto: Shippuden - 374,000 (90.34%) 2:30 AM One Piece - 336,000 (89.84%) 3:00 AM One-Punch Man (rerun) - 360,000 (107.14%) ADULTS 18-49 AVERAGE - 452,714 http://programminginsider.com/ratings/final-nationals/saturday-final-nationals-christmas-dream-hallmark-rises-one-quarter-year-ago-movie/ One-Punch Man outrated One Piece and gave Shippuden a run for its money! Even so, no one's celebrating piss-poor numbers like these! Save us, Turkey Day Weekend Saturday!!

This time you're actually right. One PIece DID indeed fail to make the Top 100: http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/daily-ratings/saturday-cable-ratings-nov-19-2016/ Naruto Shippuden just barely made it at #99.

I'm pretty sure they will be. I'd be surprised if DBZ Kai cracks 1.2M/750K 18-49 this week! And likewise with 11:30 Family Guy; no way that beat 1.5M/0.8 18-49!

You don't know that. For all we know at this point, OP could have rebounded and beat Gundam. It's incredibly unlikely, but it HAS done better than 795K/445K 18-49 before in the past.

Well, this is quite disappointing! 11/19/2016 JoJo's Bizzare Adv. Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.52 Estimated 18-34 - 353,000 Adults 18-49 Rating - 0.42 Estimated 18-49 - 533,000 Total Viewers - 964,000 11/19/2016 Gundam IBO Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.42 Estimated 18-34 - 285,000 Adults 18-49 Rating - 0.35 Estimated 18-49 - 445,000 Total Viewers - 795,000 Both shows hit scary new lows, and missed the top 10 at #12 and #15 respectively, but to be fair, the competition WAS pretty scary. USC vs. UCLA dominated the football front at #5, and there was a huge boxing match on PPV, Kovalev vs. Ward, which BTW had about 60,000 tweets and in part enfeebled Toonami's social media presence: http://toonamifaithful.com/toonami-trending-rundown-for-november-19-20-2016/ Ironically, the decision to air a normal lineup on Thanksgiving weekend might lead to Toonami's highest-rated week in November, as I'm pretty sure neither boxing nor UFC will have a huge event that night, and football competition might be lighter despite rivalry week since it's spread out over 3 days! So let's just hope Intruder 3 finishes strong! JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Phantom Blood Arc and Gundam IBO S1 too, although to be fair those have a few more weeks to go!

Huh huh huh, "hard", huh huh huh huh... ;D

Drifters is pretty great, but even I no longer see the possibility of it coming to Toonami. The dub ironically uses too many subtitles!!

I know I've come out saying Toonami would do well to air more shows with strong female leads, but Keijo!!!!!!!! is the obvious exception. It may be rather Kill la Kill-ish in that it involves strong female leads and ridiculously over-the-top fanservice, but the similarities end there. I really don't believe ladies would take to Keijo!!!!!!!! like they did to Kill la Kill! Using the butt as a weapon is less hilarious when it's an actual requirement. (But ONLY just a little bit).

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! This week get your fill of a show Toonami hasn't touched since June: the broadcast dub Dimension W, aired on Toonami from 2/27/16 through 5/14/16! You can expect episodes 1-5 until Wednesday night at 6:30; then 6-10 should take over after Pre-Flight's first replay that evening (which starts at 6:30). And episodes 11 & 12 are also available on-demand so if you want you can finish the show in a week. So, spend Thanksgiving with a real turkey of a show, if you dare! ;D

Jan. 3rd and 10th are Tuesdays. The new shows replacing Kai and Gundam would both start on the 7th!

I don't see Double JoJo because it would start the Battle Tendencies arc with a 3 week gap before the next episode. Better to just conclude Phantom Blood in 2016 and start BT on 1/7/17. The most likely thing might actually be restoring Hunter × Hunter to 1 AM, Shippuden to 1:30, etc., and double Punchy to end the night, especially if Toonami gets 11:30 back on 1/7/17.

Except for JoJo marathon on NYE, I can't take any of that crap seriously!

Hey now, Gundam IBO is a political show, but this ain't the place to wax political without reference to Gundam. Please take it to another thread. That being said, Trump is kinda like Nobliss!

Baron Zeppeli = Led Zeppelin Overdrive = Bachman Turner Overdrive That's all for now.

"Gohan, you've got him backed into a corner! He's desperate! There's no telling what he might do! End this already!!" This from the guy who tossed him a Sensu Bean!!

Keeping this idea going, and while I'm rather late, you've still got quite a few play-throughs before they take it down and replace it with the weekly marathon for Thanksgiving week at 8 AM tomorrow morning! 1. Dragonball Z Kai #91 - Get Angry, Gohan! Unleash Your Hidden Power! - TV-PGLV 2. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure #2 - A Letter from the Past - TV-MAV 3. Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans #19 - The Gravity of Wishes - TV-PGLV 4. Hunter x Hunter #25 - Can't See If You're Blind - TV-14V 5. Naruto Shippuden #132 - In Attendance, The Six Paths of Pain - TV-14V 6. One Piece #366 - You're Going Down, Absalom!! Nami's Lightning Attack of Friendship!! - TV-14D 7. One Punch Man #2 - The Lone Cyborg - TV-14LV Enjoy!!

Right. I said both DBZ Kai and JoJo Phantom Blood will end on the 17th. But Gundam IBO will end on the 10th, and there's no way they'll start a new show on the 17th, or even Gundam IBO S2, so I'm calling CWCLV to get an encore that night at 1 AM.

Puking your guts out with horrific results is a theme for tonight, as I just watched Cell cough up 18 and power down on the west coast feed, while on the east coast, Speed-O-Sound Sonic coughed up his balls!

Here we go; the Sonic vs. Saitama battle!!

Well, the thing about this is that now JoJo will get 9 episodes to air in 2016, finishing the Phantom Blood Arc, and DBZ Kai proper will also end on the 17th. I now believe the New Year's Eve-il Marathon will be a JoJo Marathon of the first 9 episodes extended to 4:30 AM. So now Gundam IBO S1 ends December 10th, so now what on the 17th? I had originally thought Children Who Chase Lost Voices might get a midnight rerun on Christmas Eve, but I now believe its fate may actually be 1 AM on December 17th, as Hunter x Hunter, Shippuden, One Piece, and One-Punch Man all take a 3-week break. I'm calling either DBZ Kai or Hunter x Hunter marathon on Christmas Eve and JoJo Phantom Blood marathon on New Year's Eve-il! We have seen now that they have the capability to expand Toonami to 4:30 for a special event, and the Phantom Blood arc of JoJo would indeed fit the bill, but the question is: is this expansion to 4:30 AM permanent for 2017, and if so, what would a 9-show Toonami look like? Even with DBZ Kai and/or Gundam IBO getting more seasons, we've still got room for 2-3 new shows, and I believe one of them will be Mob Psycho 100!

OH HELL YEAH, Brook to the Rescue!!
