Wow, flashes of light in the darkness as weapons clash against each other. Awesome. This battle is great. Hmm, it's some kind of ancient mausoleum. Forget killing someone without realizing they aren't a robot.... Jack may not get out of this alive! It wasn't easy, but he beat one of them. Annnd hell, Jack just realized they aren't machines. Not good. But Jack himself didn't come out of this unscathed. Into the river and... Why did the building explode? Did the ninja girls do that? Next week - It seems Jack realizes they are people, but ultimately, he has to defend himself. These girls have been brainwashed and trained since birth. I don't see him getting through to any of them.

Haha, Aku keeps his flaming eyebrows in a nightstand drawer! Aku faking not caring about Jack. Talking to a therapist copy of himself! Ah so sending Jack into the future itself caused him to not age. I can see that. Great now he's hallucinating himself suggesting suicide. Oh hell the ninja girls are tearing Jack up! Lost his bike, armor, weapons already! Hello Zelda commercial with unfitting music. Great, today we get our preview for the show even more EDGY than Akame Ga Kill. I mean okay you gotta take One Piece off because of bad ratings.... BUT YOU GIVE US THIS INSTEAD?!

I think it was to show that even though Samurai Jack is darker now there will still be some light-hearted stuff. It can't be all dreary all the time!

Bleh

I don't know I think we spent enough time with Caesar to grow attached. He got plenty of development and screen time. Besides, it's not the length of time spent with a character, but how it is spent.

I could have sworn there were other non-robot enemies, though? I think they couldn't be confused for robots, though. Jack doesn't know these girls aren't since they're wearing masks and look like typical Aku minions.

HxH hasn't had bad luck? It barely even got licensed, dubbed, and on the block. Took forever for that to happen, and it sure as hell wasn't a guarantee. Many thought it would never air.

Oh good, it's another Hiatus. : That show has edgelord shit in it too, actually.

It could maybe come in after Gundam. Hiatus and Shittuden getting kicked back a slot would make me feel better. 8)

Demarco's spotty hit-or-miss musical tastes struck again and he selected a horribifuckus song for the send-off video. Should have just used a song from the show. So that was pretty lame. I highly doubt Tokyo Ghoul is a "great show." Easy solution there. Get rid of Hiatus and Shittuden.

Probably not, now that I think about it. Though it wouldn't make sense to punish other shows for One Piece's failure, either, so I don't know.

Supposedly some info is gained from cable boxes as well and not just Nielsen ratings or so I have heard. And DVR viewings help too. You are right though that they couldn't have expected too much for where it aired. But maybe the ratings were too bad for even that slot? We can argue that other networks air encores, rerun timefillers, or infomercials, but Adult Swim is a late night network, so maybe a slot like that is more important to them. I mean, Adult Swim actually airs lesser shows and reruns during prime time because they can't compete and then ramp up with their big shows later on.

It seemed like they were allowing One Piece to air as long as it could but eventually the ratings just got too bad for them to continue to let it slide. I'm sure any other network would have yanked One Piece much faster.

Filler or do we get teased with the start of an arc to never air?

I'm just glad they added Ghost in the Shell, because I don't know if I could deal with Naruto closing the block. It's already enough of a buzzkill and momentum derailment as it is.

Yeah, there's really no need to overthink this.

Adult Swim Powers That Be were at least that merciful.

Now is not the time for your crackpot theorems rationalizing bullshit that will never happen. Not that it needed to be, but this is thoroughly debunked now that we know the Toonami crew got blindsided by this (check the pinned announcement thread). And how the fuck do Ghoul and JoJo go together?

Hello Zelda commercial with unfitting music.

Moose drove away all the viewers which caused it to get canceled!

All rainbows are round. You just usually can't see the whole circle. Eh, the colors reversed? Not sure if that can happen. That's the gem?! Wait it's a potion recipe... which makes a gem. That's nonsensical even for One Piece. The gem got mixed up with the candy.

Hahaha
