Yeah they could do a Super Power Hour and hell they could do this on June 3rd: 11:00 PM - Dragon Ball Super from May 27th 11:30 PM - Dragon Ball Super for June 3rd 12:00 AM - Attack on Titan 12:30 AM - Attack on Titan 1:00 AM - Tokyo Ghoul 1:30 AM - Hunter x Hunter or Tokyo Ghoul if they want to keep up with the hour blocks thing 2:00 AM - Gundam Unicorn 2:30 AM - Gundam Unicorn 3:00 AM - Ghost in the Shell (maybe another GITS at 3:30AM if they feel like continuing the hour block all night) It's rather outlandish but it will clean the slate for June 10th allowing a show to replace Gundam and a show to replace Jack while keeping Titan and Super from getting behind. As for Hunter taking a break, I suppose if the contract was a certain way then they could take a break but that's bound to frustrate the loyal HxH viewers and make a lot of people assume it got pulled like One Piece. It'd be especially lousy to cut off HxH mid-arc.

The manga and prior anime well predate InuYasha but the similarities will be apparent to people who have seen InuYasha. It's hot blooded shounen fun with killing demons and such. I haven't seen much of it, kind of always hoping it could air on Toonami some day and I could watch it there.

Might not be quite too late for Mob and MHA but by next year it probably is. If Titan is doing badly because people were not expecting a dub so soon then the window they should shoot for is probably 3 months to a year after the show ends in Japan. 0-3 months after it ends in Japan is within the window of when people will still be focused on the simulcast and won't notice a TV airing or it's too fresh in their memory to watch it again if they would. That said it could be the case that the issues only apply to Titan and other roughly as popular shows won't have the same problem. It's possible the casual audience just stopped caring about AoT after three years or switched to reading the manga and if their experience with reading the manga was like mine, at some point they may have lost interest.

Nah man they jumped from Ashi hating him to Ashi being confused to mutual respect and suddenly they're acting like kids with crushes. It was all rather rushed, particularly in this episode. It's not like there was no setup but on screen they jumped from mutual respect to lovers DANG quick and for little reason. I guess you could argue Jack did show attraction to Ashi when he first saw her cleaned up but it still feels forced. I also personally don't like that a capable female warrior was introduced just to end up as Jack's lover. Or at least I'm not sure how I feel about it. If they only became romantic so she would die and give Jack someone else to mourn, that's pretty lousy.

Yep. Wouldn't mind Log Horizon if they wanted to throw on something older but now that they've dropped One Piece and JoJo isn't an "all the time" show, Ushio & Tora would be fantastic.

Assuming Aku doesn't kill Ashi, I could definitely see Jack doing that.

After episode 8 aired my opinion on keeping Ashi around will hinge heavily on what they do with her from here. If she gets killed and Jack wants to avenge her that's a freak'n waste and they could have done without having them fall in love if that was the case. If she survives then I don't mind that they gave Jack somebody to love. The man deserves that much. On the other hand if Jack ends up dying, aging or returning to the past after he slays Aku... I don't really know. Maybe this is something Genndy always wanted to do or maybe he felt it was finally time to bring romance into the picture but as much as I enjoyed them acting like middle school kids with crushes, it does feel more than a little forced and I don't particularly like that.

I don't think adult viewers not liking what's on CN for the most part is causing them to watch Adult Swim less, though I suppose it may play a factor in more Adult Swim viewers dropping cable. I also think the overall staleness of the Adult Swim's daily line-up is finally showing signs of losing people's interest. Despite that, Adult Swim remains #1 with their key demographics so most of the viewership loss may not have much to do with what Adult Swim is airing. Most people wont keep overpriced cable and a locked in contract with a satellite company just for a few channels, even if they still love Adult Swim it's not practical to pay that much just to be able to keep watching it when most of the shows are available in greater quantity for less money via streaming.

Goku is and always will be a negligent man-child. He's also tremendously out of touch with the rest of society as he has a more singular focus of getting stronger and fighting strong opponents. I do feel like Super is cranking that to 11 as he seems even more careless than ever but I don't think he's a dick nor do I think he will ever be a dick. He can however do dickish things because of his singular focus. Pester Whis and Bulma in this latest dubbed episode being a prime example of that and that's something I haven't seen Goku do to that extent since he was still very young. I dislike how cocky and careless he became in Resurrection F but Super's way of making him even more of a oblivious, singular focused bumpkin is getting old quick.

I suppose they could do something like that so they don't remain a week behind on Super but it would be simpler to just air Super and Titan in the 11pm hour on that night and run Jack from 12-5AM if they intend to run a marathon that night. That way Super isn't even temporarily a week behind the 8pm airing and Titan doesn't get further behind either.

Another disappointing week for Titan. Jack is doing excellent but everything else feels like it is falling apart. There just doesn't seem to be a way to recover from DBS dropping so hard after Jack. What a pity.

Ever since Dragon Ball Z Kai popped up in reruns at 8pm on Saturday nights I've been pondering the possibility of a split shift for Toonami. Now that Dragon Ball Super is actually premiering at 8pm and doing pretty well there, there may be some real possibility for expanding upon that. B ecause DBS seems to be required to air at 8pm a lot of folks have suggested Toonami dump the 11:30 airing but obviously Toonami doesn't want to give up "their" airing of a Dragon Ball series. Perhaps the best solution to the dilemma is to incorporate 8pm into Toonami and if they would go that far then perhaps they could grant a few more slots of prime time to Toonami as well in exchange for the 11pm hour. When Samurai Jack ends the necessity of the 11pm slot for a high profile premiere arguably goes with it (t least for the time being). If they could eliminate the 11:30 airing of DBS then there's really no need for Toonami to start before 12AM for now. Instead of expecting their viewers to sit through 4.5 hours straight they could break that up for a bit of a breather. While I'd certainly love to see Toonami run 8PM-2AM, dropping comedy from prime time would most likely tank the ratings. It's much safer to wedge 2 hours of comedy from 10-12AM. Would you like them to try Toonami split over two smaller blocks or would you prefer they keep Toonami 4+ hours straight on Saturday night? Consider these possibilities: Saturday Night Split - Saturday from 8PM-10PM and 12AM-3AM Friday Prime Time / Saturday Night Split - Friday from 8PM-10PM and Saturday 12AM-3AM Saturday Night / Sunday Prime Time Split - Saturday from 11:30PM-2:30AM and Sunday 8PM-10PM (counter-programming to FOX prime time?) Friday Night / Saturday Night Split - Friday from 12AM-2AM and Saturday from 11:30PM-2:30AM - In this case DBS would still have to air in prime time outside of Toonami

While that might actually be better for the block as a whole it wont be better for the ratings of Dragon Ball Super, which will always do better at 11:30pm than 8pm and usually by a significant margin though there are some odd weeks like the most recent one. I suppose if there wasn't an 11:30 encore you might be able to get more people to watch at 8pm especially if it was actually a small Toonami block. I can't imagine Jason being satisfied with Adult Swim airing DBS only outside of Toonami. Perhaps the 11pm hour should give way to a split shift of Toonami 8PM-10PM and 12AM-3AM 8PM-10PM is the ideal place to run the PG level shounen back to back while 12AM-3AM would use DBZ Kai for it's anchor and then proceed to heavier material. If they have any interest in airing Boruto and My Hero Academia, I'd say that's the best way to do it. Here's a potential schedule for after AoT season 2 ends --- TOONAMI Prime Time --- 8:00 PM - Dragon Ball Super 8:30 PM - My Hero Academia or Boruto 9:00 PM - Naruto: Shippuden 9:30 PM - Samurai Jack Reruns or FLCL Season 1 --- COMEDY BREAK --- 10:00 PM - Rick & Morty 10:30 PM - American Dad 11:00 PM - Family Guy 11:30 PM - Family Guy --- TOONAMI The Midnight Run --- 12:00 AM - Dragon Ball Z Kai 12:30 AM - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure or New Anime 1:00 AM - Gundam IBO Season 2 1:30 AM - Hunter x Hunter 2:00 AM - Tokyo Ghoul Root A 2:30 AM - Attack on Titan Season 2 Reruns (replacing GITS season 1)

Yeah they have practically abandoned Tumbr for Facebook. They don't promote any of their social media on air they haven't even promoted Pre-Flight in a good long while. I think they just figure there is no real need to use resources to promote those and expect word of mouth to suffice. It's better to use those resources to promote the block and it's programming.

Wall Rose IIRC is one of the inner walls so if titans are within Wall Rose then things are getting worse and worse for human kind.

Well I watched it twice legally so I don't know what more I could have done without the manga being available here and the BD release being a ways off.

They don't post Super's dub on FUNi's site but they are indeed posting AoT Sundays nights.

Most late night anime don't actually take Golden Week off. It doesn't look like Attack on Titan will either. Golden Week starts this weekend in Japan.

Yes it's a different, tamer and more recent Lupin series that wouldn't need editing.

Demand is measured by requests posted on Toonami.tumblr.com, Facebook.com/Toonami and probably any other way people bug Jason DeMarco. Only rarely is there any kind of public poll. When he posted the one that included 3 shows they were already looking into the choices were Mob Psycho 100, the latest Lupin series, Tokyo Ghoul and "other". People rallied to vote for Ghoul and Lupin but Mob won the majority. I blame the YouTube anime commentator Forn3verWorld for a lot of the support Ghoul got. I tried to combat that by getting the editor of DBZ Abridged (who previously did Lupin Abridged) rally support in the final stretch but alas, Ghoul edged it out. Pun intended. Go to the Facebook or Tumblr to sing the praises of ReZero if you want it to air on Toonami. I really doubt many people have suggested it to them directly.

Seems there's a thing for red heads going on around here.

Aw yeah!

It's really always been the case that whoever has "the shows" is gonna get the space to air them on Toonami. In 2014 FUNimation had the shows (Space Dandy, Attack on Titan and DBZ Kai among others) In 2015 Aniplex and Sentai had the shows (KILL la KILL, SAO II, Akame ga Kill and Parasyte) In 2016 Viz Media had the shows (Hunter x Hunter, One-Punch Man and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure) In 2017 FUNimation has the shows again (Attack on Titan 2, Dragon Ball Super, Tokyo Ghoul) FUNimation has maintained a strong presence (arguably the market share of time slots) since Toonami returned with the exception of the second half of 2016 when they were down to just DBZ and One Piece. Gundam re-entering the fray and Viz having three huge titles temporarily limited FUNimation's presence on the block but we all should have figured that minimized status wouldn't last.

Little boys like Sailor Moon too. It gave them their first erection :fap:

I had not considered them airing IBO S2 before finishing Unicorn, I suppose they could and then replace Unicorn with an less prominent premiere at 2am. I'd rather see them run the last 3 Unicorn eps back to back on May 20th if the goal is to get IBO on by the week after Memorial Day. They could make an event of it.
