i dont really care for extra airings tbh, i think it'd maybe even be a waste of money in toonami's current state
now i haven't checked ratings in a long ass time so maybe this is all misinformed
but really, what i've always wanted was for the block to start at 11.
now that changed with all the shonen, so really it'd have to start at 10 i guess.
back in 2014, i think was the best chance to make aot premiere at 11 and heavily promote it etc to cross over it's popularity to casual viewers, etc
i forgot what the lead in was at the time, but i dont think its crazy to think aot could've gotten 2 million consistently with it's lead in. i doubt that there's many series that could match that, but [as] were never really on board with the toonami crew to make a concentrated effort to push toonami's popularity further anyway.
i think it's reasonable to think that there's 2 million weebs in the u.s who don't really watch anything else, and if given the option would rather watch dub premieres the first 2-3 hours 11-2 instead of whatever comedy central, fx, or usa air and give you great ratings.
we never really got that outside of 2014, which is a shame cause all things considered aot did really good.
