Daos

Casshern Sins and Samurai 7 should be on that list. And no Tokyo Ghoul? =P

Bulma is kind of a ho.

Part of it is that I think Family Guy cycled back to Season 1. Which we've all seen 500000 times or more. Back before the show really found its footing and the animation looked like crap. But if you have a solid block, should you really need to rely on Family Guy to bring in viewers? The lead show is Super. Toonami is basically saying.....this is our best and hottest show. Anyone buying that? =P And maybe their April fools Rick and Morty stunt paid off? =)

Not really, all the ratings were on a downward trajectory and they have not done a thing to stop the bleeding.

If they spend the dough to get GATE it damn well better be in a better timeslot than HxH. Either replacing Super or bumping it down a slot =P It's a non issue though as I'm 99 percent sure no one running Toonami has heard of GATE. But get ready for the ratings smash hit of... IBO season 2! Coming soon!

And look at that timing. http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2017/08/01-1/progress-mentioned-on-new-mob-psycho-100-anime

Honestly Super is entirely dependent on how the show before it does. It's not good enough to draw in its own viewers. If the lead in does 1.2 mil it can crack a mil. Compare that with Jack, that regularly beat its lead in.

MHA has way way way wider appeal than Jojo. The last time someone mentioned the top 3 requested shows it was MHA, OPM S2 and Fairytail... if you can believe that. You've never heard anyone talk about Re Zero? It was all anyone talked about in 2016. Everyone and their dog had a Rem avatar. Or Betelgeuse. There was a fan thread for it on the old forum. Mob, Re Zero, and Kabaneri were the most popular anime of 2016. I hardly call 2016 old. Zero and Kabaneri don't have dubs yet, but they should probably jump on one of those when they do. Tanya the evil, Gate, Overlord... even Charlotte and Danmachi would have mainstream appeal and probably outperform everything except maybe Kai. All dubbed and ready to go. Worldend, Akashic records and Love Tyrant were some of the most popular anime last season. All 3 have dubs out already. Love Tyrant probably isn't a good fit, but the others would be worth a look.

Sir this is real life. Sometimes in real life, you get mad at a company. When you get mad at a company.... sometimes there is no other recourse than for them to allow you to bang their super hot mascot as penance for their sins. Sometimes.... I think you guys just don't live in reality.

Well Kai is their biggest draw. But their biggest draw is an ancient 90's show cruising on nostalgia. And despite being the biggest draw, they have it air 2nd behind the dumpster fire known as Super.

Hahah that wouldn't shock me one bit. Super's writing is as lazy as the animation. He wasn't a Super Namek in the Saiyan saga, so they get a pass on that. Normal Namekians seemed to die easily enough.

I subscribe to the Occam's razor theory here. The major reason the block isn't doing well, is because the block isn't very good. Like I keep saying, Toonami lacks any of the big hits that have mainstream appeal. You need that to glue eyeballs to the screen. 2 out of the 4 starting shows are objectively speaking... garbage. You know the ones I'm talking about. Kai is basically a rerun from the 90's. Jojo and Lupin are loved by die hard anime fans, but niche. The rest of the block is reruns and more Shonen that only appeals to a select audience. Owl said the block is down what... 46 percent in a single year? In the medical profession I think they call that hemorrhaging. Whether or not people hate Akame GA Kill, it looked slick and had mainstream appeal. That's why it got ratings.

He was broken into pieces in the Buu saga. Said he could regenerate as long as his head was intact.

He thinks you mean final as in the end of Toonami. Like I said he's in panic mode =P

Elfie is in panic mode!

Oh so years ago. They should pretty much stop listening to that tumblr they use to get their "top requested" shows from. The results usually don't even come close to meshing with what's currently hot and popular in the anime world. According to that Tumblr, people were clamoring for TG and more Gundam.

I'm still waiting on the episode where Vegeta gets put on trial for the billions of people he killed.

Damnit I based my Jojo projection on thinking Kai would at least get close to a million. Those are some awful numbers. I actually thought I was lowballing it. But yeah, the first Jojo didn't do well in the ratings, no reason to expect this Jojo to do any better. And who says Jojo was heavily requested? Its a good show, but it wasn't even in the top 3 last time I checked.

OOOO tough break babe.

I like SAO well enough. If you're talking about SAO super fans they'll like anything the same way some DBZ fans think Super is a well animated smartly written show. The movie just does nothing with the whole Ordinal scale concept. If you were comparing this to the SAO story arcs, I'd say Ordinal scale would be the worst one. If you want to actually know why it's not great, here's a spoiler laden review that rails on it for 30 minutes.

Your Mal thing says you haven't seen Stein's Gate. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I'll say 800k for Jojo.

You're not enjoying Super and TG? You have no taste sir.

Here's what that scene sounds like without the awful Kai music.

Slow your roll the movie is barely out of theaters. The movie wasn't very good btw.
