Well, maybe if they play Stardust Crusaders soon, people will actually be more interested in what's arguably the most important part of the franchise for westerners.

Well, it's now Thursday night, and ProgrammingInsider still doesn't have an article for Saturday up. ShowBuzz updated with Hunter's overall total (569K/0.26, same as Gundam) and I guess the 11:30 DB Super, but nothing else. EDIT: Okay, here we go.

Birdy the Mighty: Decode #6 Kemono Friends #3 Also, shout out to Twitch's ongoing stream of the entire Power Rangers franchise. It's been really cool to be exposed to that show for the first time, through seasons two and three of Mighty Morphin'. At least for me, anyway. [bLBLBLBLBLBLBLBL]

To my knowledge, Naruto fans are very much the silent majority. I don't know how the show still gets views on Toonami every week, but they come out for it.

Well, I get that, but merely doing an average start time for a show won't tell you everything about its performance. You have to take into account some other things, such as the lead-in for Toonami itself, where the block is airing, bad weeks now and then, and other things.

You know, "average start time" is probably one of those things you just made up to seem like a genius when it comes to scheduling. <_> But as for the new lineup... yeah, I'll take it. At least HxH isn't getting sort-of screwed.

Meh... I'm too busy watching the Power Rangers stream on Twitch.

I didn't really mean it that way. In fact, I'd say the post was equally about FG and Jack. But let me put it this way: This is only the first week, so we shouldn't read too much into these numbers.

Birdy the Mighty: Decode | Cipher 5... ~Another World~

Technically, the 8:00P counts as the premiere, so only that one is listed in the cart. We'll get it with the Programming Insider list, which will also have that preceding hour of Family Guy which I think will do more to tell us how the night did. Here's the way I see it: If the Griffins were strong, that would indicate a lot of casual viewers stayed for Jack but quite a few of them left afterwards, which would not be a very good pattern for the schedule if it continues; if they did weak, it would indicate a bad week in general that only got a boost thanks to the new show, which would certainly make me feel better about it and further prove its strength on the night.

Well, would you look at the time... http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-3-11-2017.html Samurai Jack debuted to 1,552,000 viewers... but DBZ Kai couldn't even break a million? What's up with that?

Get out of here with your facts and reason.

Thanks for all this information I didn't need. -_'

What? Does nobody have a sense of humor in here. It's odd since Jman would be the most likely to respect such a meme.

You can say "fuck" on this board. It's totally understandable.

A general power outage. I did mention that in the original post.

Hmm. Okay then. If this is true, HxH moving to 2:00 sucks, but I get why they're doing it, since it's the move of least #Resistance. And everything else seems alright... but maybe not Tokyo Ghoul for some. This will certainly be a new dub, so I'm sure it counts for the first three episodes.

Wow... that's a nice choice, Poke. I watched The Nice Guys some months ago when it was fresh in the Redbox and I also quite enjoyed it. Okay, so here's my contribution to the thread... Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'. Though I didn't actually watch it until today, I bought it from Best Buy using a gift card back on the second day of the year, along with a Mello Yello which was drank long before. But I liked the soda and the movie. It was certainly more action-packed and "serious", though still managing to fit quite a bit of comedy in. And the fights blended CGI and traditional animation in a pretty good way; I just wish the former didn't take up a majority of the runtime. A lot of stuff in it seemed to just happen without prior explanation. At the start with Pilaf's crew (for their only appearance in the film, which I found surprising) basically giving Sorbet and the other Frieza minions a straight shot to the Dragon Balls, they were introduced to each other so abruptly I thought there was a scene missing. Also, I could have used at least a little bit of prior knowledge as to when Goku and Vegeta attained Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan forms (and regular SSG for the latter). Overall, I rate the film a 7.5/10, or a stars outta 4 in traditional movie critic jargon. And it's really hard for me to think of if I like this one or Battle of Gods better, since they both compliment each other excellently.

So, if you're looking for the numbers for the new Samurai Jack episode... well, you might be waiting a bit longer than usual. Apparently, there was a power outage at the place where they collect the data, and they need time to fire it up before they can actually get the hard numbers. The numbers for Saturday and Sunday on the networks haven't come in yet, so I assume the cable ratings won't come in until after those are done. How awkward is it happens now of all weeks? Either way, I'm sure you'll live.

Heh... "Shit-D". I might have to use that version of it someday. Also, did you notice that SAO II is on the Marathon stream for probably the last time right now?

Did they have the HD-ified version of GiTS this time?

That was a nice set of posts, Sketch. I think it was primarily because Saobody and the chain of arcs that connects to it as a whole would have lasted for three years on the typical Toonami schedule, and there's no way [as] would have approved the show mooching on there for that long. And in regards to the ratings, they've faltered, but not too much outside of coordination with the rest of the block. So this could be a case of Toei or maybe even Funimation in the front wanting more money than they were willing to pay for a sustained block of episodes that might go even lower over time.

Kemono Friends #2 And if my last comment sailed right by you, let it be known that the moment has finally arrived... ladies and mentlegen, Re:ZERO #13: ...and here's a redone version of screenshot 3B for those from the ASMB who missed it the first time: [Felt was so innocent back then]
