so you think megalo box airing 2 episodes and then not airing the third until 3 weeks later won't have a severe negative effect on it? you say marathon's don't kill the momentum but a marathon by its premise puts the block on pause for a couple weeks momentum doesn't pause with it that's not how momentum works you either keep it going or you don't

if this was a selection of high octane super exciting episodes I'd probably have some incentive to tune in...but a bunch of recruitment episodes aren't really what you go to when you wanna see DB

i don't know why people like you feel like you gotta defend toonami's brainless decisions anyways... there's no logical reason to premiere shows in december none whatsoever...we all know the momentum's gonna be screwed by the double marathon's so why be in denial about it? what is the good side to this? there isn't and the fact you just tossed your hands up in the air and have given up shows it

watch as Meglobox tanks and then demarco and crew wonder why that is.... you don't just premiere a show and then go on hiatus after it's aired just 2 episodes on the block which then puts it in an awkward position 3 weeks later where it's gone cold in terms of hype factor on the block

when we're getting a marathon for a show that doesn't even have enough episodes yet to fill the entire block yeah that's hard to understand...if you have nothing else you can possibly marathon then why have a second marathon in a row that needs extra shows padded around it to fill the rest of the block? when toonami returns Megalo Box's momentum is gonna be completely shot and crippled nobody can deny that and anyone who suggests otherwise is just in denial

ratings determine everything on toonami though...so banning anything relating to them would be extremely stupid why shouldn't anyone care about a very small group of people deciding what we like and what we don't like?

it's 2018 netflix exists and trying to gauge moves by nielsen ratings isn't a good idea anymore imagine if netflix told you that you couldn't use it simply because the date was a holiday....

ugh this is gonna be as bad as that one time they marathoned post ennies lobby one piece filler... to anyone who watches this whole thing...you that bored?

it's more about the sense of a community discussion than anything else...watching something alone is pretty pathetic as opposed to watching it with someone when watching toonami i know there are other people watching it right now....when I'm watching netflix i can't be sure how many people are watching what I'm watching right now and how much of an active discussion i could even get out of it is up in the air

this....i live in a fairly rural town so there's not much i can do(literally i have nothing to do this place is pretty boring)and the only change in my repetitive routine is when i get to go out to grab some groceries that's about it

toonami is usually an insomniac's block....what would people be doing at midnight anyways? aside from bar hopping

And Considering we're still using the nielsen system(something that probably tracks more old folks than actual toonami viewers)it's likely that none of our views matter we're just watching for the lulz and our viewership doesn't help anyone or anything so why continue to act like our views matter when they don't? it's all about that tiny box of nielsen viewers

where does that one week without toonami make sense when there's two marathons? (seriously though one week without toonami? even if i tuned out for DB Super Marathon there's still 2 weeks without new content) it might as well be no toonami when you have boring recruitment episodes for DB Super as a marathon and then a marathon for a show that doesn't have enough episodes for a marathon....

it's three weeks without toonami...

aren't the episodes included in that marathon pretty crap though all things considered? if that thing got the highest rating in months then it would seem that even A DBZ Marathon with little to no fighting(which defeats the purpose of a DBZ Marathon...the fight)is seen as amazing by the fans

i said again unless you live in a big city...small towns new year isn't really that big of a deal it's insane to assume people go out traveling in droves on new year's eve when at most it's just going to a bar getting hammered and then crashing on the couch back home most people don't just go to new year's parties or even have them around

and with the advent of streaming services, you can't really say nobody watches anything on the holidays....it's pretty stupid to assume nobody uses their electronic devices around the holidays and just gathers around the family telling stories all this does is hurt the lineup in the long run.....how do you think fans will feel having to wait 3 weeks just for another episode of their toonami shows?

how is it not that a big of a deal to have the momentum of your newest show thrown out of wack and then pushed back when it returns? especially when the adultswim sunday lineup could air new content the very next night with no need for reruns or a marathon

if they are so intent on having 2 marathons that month because it disrupts that show's momentum and that momentum cannot easily be recovered... if they continue to do this then they gotta at least remove the new year's marathon because unless you live in a big city new years is nothing more than sitting at home and drinking while watching the ball drop it's not really worth putting a halt to the schedule

what's the explanatio for a new years marathon though

i mean good god how do you manage to set up a DB Super marathon where there's little to no fighting?

but we get this crazy long set up as a marathon....haven't felt this annoyed about a marathon since that one piece marathon where it was simply Post Ennies lobby filler trash

this would be the wtf character for db fighterz

but picking episodes with little to no fights in a show that's all about fights is like really stupid

how the hell did toonami manage to get a marathon for DB Super around the worst possible episodes? it's like watching paint dry
