    When I think about which years 2023 most resembles, my thoughts turn to 2015 and 2016, but in those years, it was more like the lack of block length driving lack of acquisitions, and not lack of acquisitions driving block length like 2023. These days Toonami struggles to fill 3 hours weekly unless it airs a marathon, although my mind boggles as to why they can't just air My Adventures With Superman after MHA at 3 AM and call that part of Toonami beginning on 9/9.

    Dr. Stone's Mid-Season Finale did kinda ehh... https://www.spoilertv.com/2023/08/tv-ratings-for-saturday-26th-august-2023.html?m=1 At least it beat the AEW Rampage special...

    Pretty strong 18-49 number for Supes' Episode 9 Thursday premiere: https://www.spoilertv.com/2023/08/tv-ratings-for-thursday-24th-august-2023.html?m=1 Only 196K overall but a 0.11 in 18-49?

    I think despite it's weird Windwaker-esque cel shading design, Grunge is gonna be pretty damn good, especially with the Miami Vice feel of the promo!

    Nice synopsis, EA! I guess you won't even bother with Toonami next week, but NO ONE sleeps early on 9/9 when Titans attack!

    Hate that I missed Mr. Dodo! Hot-ass live music by Switchfoot and then a local yacht rock band wore me out despite hitting the Diet Pepsi HARD!!

    And yep, we've got a Raw Japanese trailer for Season 3, Part 2, coming to Japan October 12th, and to Toonami December, probably...

    Didn't comment last night but I DID watch, and yes, I agree that was a great episode, and I'm glad Senku's friends weren't left petrified over the mid-season break. Just for posterity, I think I'll post Episode 45's review here, since I never got around to posting it in the now-archived thread... https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/dr-stone-new-world/episode-10/.198954 Good enough for 4 stars, and now for the matter at hand: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/dr-stone-new-world/episode-11/.199233 Yep, I'd give this one 4.5 stars alright, at least! I wonder if the crew will come across Byakuya's remains in the second half of this season. Would make for an interesting coda to his story!

    It's "Born To Be Mild!!"

    Tonight, we play ball!! 1-4 AM, ONLY TOONAMI, extending into an hour it seldom occupies!!
  14. OwlChemist81
    Quietly sit back and watch as science does its thing! 12:30 AM tonight, only TOONAMI!!
  15. OwlChemist81
    Well, that was a neat twist! Super dark ending followed by a light flourish! Didn't see that coming!
  16. OwlChemist81
    OH HELL YEAH! THAT WAS AWESOME!!!
  17. OwlChemist81
    TENTACLE ATTACK!!!! But that won't stop Supes!
  18. OwlChemist81
    Ironically, there is someone in our world who IS a weapon! Hint: he just got arrested tonight...

    And of COURSE Ivo's being too much of a dick for Mandy!
  20. OwlChemist81

    Good assessment!

    Toonami didn't make Bleach famous, though you could argue [as] ACTN did. In fact, I would say it was ACTN's last major hit franchise, following in the footsteps of greats like Bebop, GITS, InuYasha and FMA. Yes, ACTN would have one more major hit show in FMA:B, but that was an extension of the FMA franchise. What shows has Toonami made famous? Obviously there were DBZ, Naruto, and the Gundam franchise, but while it had a hand in the post-ACTN era in making AOT, SAO, One-Punch Man, Jojo, and Demon Slayer (Season 1) famous by airing their dub premieres, those shows were ALREADY made famous in part by subtitled streaming. Just a different ball game then, and now that dub premieres are exceedingly rare--the big hits like MHA, YashaHime, and Dr. Stone had already streamed their dubs before coming to Toonami. I believe even Made In Abyss Season 2 streamed its dub on Hi-Dive before it aired on Toonami, so I believe the AOT special actually marks only the 3rd dub premiere episode of the year so far, with the 1st the One Piece/DBZ/Toriko crossover episode from 3/4 and 2nd the world premiere of FLCL Grunge airing right before. That’s insane for 9/9! By this time last year, we'd at least had Lupin Part 6.
