Just to prove Japan loves sports manga.... http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2017/09/04-1/fencing-manga-duel-announces-new-drama-cd

There's tons of wieners and references to sucking cock. Bisexual guys and girls. At least four of the main characters engage in incest. And getting your dick and balls cut off is a common theme. At least 3 of the main characters have been castrated.

Incest happened.

Everyone knows Ping Pong the animation is the superior sports anime. Remember when Toonami thought Gundam was going to bring in viewers?

Lusting after autistic girls? For shame sir for shame!

You fool! Don't you know the new hot anime thing is girls sidecar racing?

What about..... Pretty Sammy!

Yeah but Tenchi was not just "a god" but THE god. Omnipotent and Omnipresent. Or something. Where do you go from there?

Didn't they kind of jump the shark already with Tenchi being God? You can't really go anywhere from there.

I'll just leave this here....

Well yes and no. There's a downward trend due to cord cutting and people using on demand services for everything and FG getting run into the ground but...... There's no way that's responsible for a 46 percent ratings drop in a single year. If the block reaches the point where reruns of King of the Hill could get the same ratings, I'd expect it to be canceled.

Well the failure of GT scared anyone from making another Dragonball anime for almost 20 years. GXP and GT levels of failure leave a pretty bad taste in everyone's mouth. Tenchi is still producing... but the franchise is long out of gas at this point. I tried watching Ai Tenchi Muyo! a few years ago but never made it more than halfway through.

Nope, the next Tenchi will be... TENCHI MUYO WAR ON GEMINAR! Who needs Tenchi when you have... KENSHI!

RACIST!

Hey doing what worked in the past worked out just fine for Blockbuster and Kodak.

Go easy on Super? NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Plus, they weren't able to get MHA due to being out bid by Netflix so I assume they had to pay far out the ass to get Super and make that ridiculous deal where they show it a bunch of times AND have it lead the block.

What, no Hiatus comment from Jman?!! Block doing horribly... Demarco's like .... TIME TO EXPAND THE BLOCK FELLAS! This Bebop thing adds to my theory that they blew all their money on the Super deal and literally can't afford anything new.

Nothing to do with the ratings but still funny. Guess who went on hiatus again????? http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2017/08/30-1/hunter-x-hunter-manga-set-to-begin-another-hiatus

Just put Highschool DxD on. I'll show you some ratings! And boobs.

You know what else Lupin lost to? Every show on Toonami.

Eh maybe... but I doubt it. Jojo is just too niche and hard to follow for a normal TV viewer. TG is just a mess. I think they have trouble telling between whats popular in Japan (Prince of Tennis has 178 episodes AND a sequel series) and what's going to be popular in the US.

They've made one good decision in recent memory. One Punch Man. I can't think of anything else they've aired that has even had the potential to do well. Other than that they're just relying on Tumblr to tell them what to air. And actually, maybe OPM was requested on Tumblr as well.

You can play with the schedule, move things around, have DBS premiere on Toonami, add better shows to the back of the block....... but it doesn't change the fact that currently, your flagship show.... sucks. Not just ratings wise but in terms of quality. Animation and plotwise. As long as Toonami keeps telling people that Super is it's best show, it's going to fail. You don't even need to cancel it just move it down.

Yup Naruto somehow does well, makes no sense to move it anywhere but up in the lineup. I'm still never gonna watch it though. Ha they wish they could get Re Zero. In Demarco's wet dreams. (if he's even heard of it) IBO S2 to replace TG means that that spot will have been occupied with a ratings turkey for roughly an entire year. That's painful. Super's 71 percent retention from family guy is embarrassing and warrants cancellation. Did TOEI give you their first born children to keep airing this crap or what? Jojo continues to have horrible retention. Lupin gets beat by all 3 shows that air after it. TIME TO HIT THAT PANIC BUTTON FELLAS!
