Ginguy Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Chill, the block will be fine. Don't forget that FLCL s2 is still in the pipeline. Things will even out, probably a little up from last year. All the comedy is older than dirt, so it will be a drag, but it will get just enough to remain viable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlChemist81 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 You could argue that a few other shows have kinda gotten "GXP"'ed: ThunderCats, in the middle of its ill-fated 2nd run on Toonami (which would end at Episode 15 due to Toonami losing the rights), fell from 1:30 all the way to 3:30 when One Piece premiered, but of course it was a rerun. OG Naruto started over at 2:30 AM on 1/4/14, abandoning 12:30 after the first Month of Movies One Piece was premiering new episodes at 1 AM right behind Shippuden on 1/31/15, and it fell to 2:30 on 2/7/15 when the block got cut short. Naruto Shippuden fell from midnight on 1/31/15 all the way to 2 AM only 3 months later on 3/28/15. Parasyte, when it had finished its first run, fell from 1 AM on 4/9/16 to 3 AM on 4/16/16. (Hunter x Hunter took its place) And most recently, Gundam Unicorn was at 1 AM on 3/18/15, then dropped to 2 AM on 3/25/15 when Tokyo Ghoul premiered. (This also continued an "easing down" from a Midnight series premiere for Gundam IBO Season 1, which finished its run at 1 AM). Hopefully something similar is about to happen to Samurai Jack and Tokyo Ghoul since they're currently not pulling their weight in their current timeslots. And just for the record, the following shows are in the exclusive club which have "reverse GXP-ed:" Thundercats - 2:30 AM to 1 AM Hellsing Ultimate - 3 AM to Midnight InuYasha: The Final Act - 2 AM to 12:30 Samurai Jack - Old episodes ended on 1/17/15 at 5:30 AM, but the 5th season premiered at 11 PM on 3/11/17! Will AOT join their ranks, bouncing from 12:30 all the way to 11 PM for its final 3 episodes? Only time will tell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'NUFF SAID. As long as we keep going like this, we should be OK. Also, a pretty respectable finish for Gundam Unicorn given the ridiculously huge amount of handicaps that were thrown its way in the 2nd half: it managed to finish just over 650K total viewers and, for all intents and purposes, exactly 400K adults 18-49 on average. Had it not been buried at 2 AM, given the worst lead-in ever in Tokyo Ghoul, AND kneecapped even worse right at the end of its run with the Reruns Power Hour kicking off Toonami, it might have gotten over 700K and 450K respectively, but we'll never know. THE BAD: The whole post-midnight portion of the block got its ass kicked by SPONGEBOB. And whatever that "LIVE PD" show on A&E is, I believe it will just continue to grow to be a thorn in Toonami's side as it steals viewers from the 11 PM hour, not to mention Family Guy before. Ugh. America's obsession with law enforcement sickens me. I prefer there to be some comedy thrown in, like with World's Dumbest Criminals on Tru TV. THE UGLY: Dragon Ball Super, what the hell? Considering it wasn't actually Frieza himself but a bunch of his underlings fighting, I guess I'll give it a pass. But the night that replays what was covered in that Toonami Sneak Peek of Resurrection of F that popped a random episode of DBZ Kai over 2M is coming soon, and if things don't change, it's going to be UGLY! Also, Tokyo Ghoul got beat in 18-34 and Men 12-34 by the finale of Gundam Unicorn, which proves that it really doesn't have any business at 1 AM. Only time will tell if HxH actually went up, down, or tied the relative tie that was between Gundam and Ghoul in 18-49, and of course HERE COMES LUPIN next week to REALLY make Ghoul look inferior! I've seen commercials and I believe even tuned in for a few minutes of it before. Live P.D. is basically a live version of Cops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben0119 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 So why do they keep getting anime for the block sight unseen? Demarco's explanation is they don't have time to watch entire shows before they pick them up (presuming they didn't just watch them on their own already, not for work), so they watch like 3-5 episodes and if they think it will work for Toonami, they pick it up.

It's possible this time it was Hunter x Hunter or Lupin itself which dropped the ball. The good news is that it doesn't seem to depend on whether there is a rerun or a premiere at 11 PM, the 2 AM timeslot appears to do about the same. But I wonder what would happen if Lupin got an 8:30 encore after the premiere of Dragon Ball Super? It's certainly tame enough for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlChemist81 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Just to confirm my earlier theory, the whole goddamn Part 4 is on Crunchyroll. The problem is not going away. Yeah, so what? Probably in Italian with English subtitles! This IS still a dub premiere! Probably not that popular though, and slotted about right at 2 AM, though I'll always wonder how it would do at 1:30 if Attack on Titan were allowed to flow directly into Hunter x Hunter. But with Ghoul actually doing that well, they'll probably just keep it at 1 AM after the marathon, which means Lupin remains stuck at 2. Then again, I look at Michiko & Hatchin to see a show that wasn't very popular, and had overtones of another language than Japanese or English, but kicked ass in the ratings! And like THAT wasn't available streaming on-demand somewhere. Hell, I believe FUNimation still had the dub throughout Toonami's whole run, and it did gangbusters, so your argument that "people won't watch it if some version of it is on Crunchyroll" is asinine.

brianycpht Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 To be honest pretty much everything is going to be available on Crunchyroll at this point before Toonami can air it. The question is whether viewers actually care about watching the English dub over the Japanese sub. We are entering a period where many anime fans do not have a preference over one or the other . That being said there are still many people who prefer dubs exclusively. Since one piece is gone and they don't seem to want to move Hunter X Hunter to 2 AM they may end up using the slot for more niche anime that may not perform well in earlier time slots. Also likely it can be used to air older titles that people may want to see you again that they can get for cheap. I am very curious to see what they do after July 4 will they move some stuff around. I still think Jack at 11 it's not doing us any favors . We are also getting to the point where the 26 episode run of DB super is coming to a close. Will they keep going beyond these episodes. I'd like to think so however the initial press release mentioned that AS was running season one. If they do not have new episodes I shutter to think that they may even rerun DB super at 11:30 but that's just crazy talk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADULTS 18-49 RETENTION 8:00 PM Dragon Ball Super 359,000 10:30 PM Family Guy 771,000 11:00 PM Samurai Jack S5 #1 631,000 (81.84%) 11:30 PM Dragon Ball Super 569,000 (90.17%) 12:00 AM DBZ Kai: The Final Chapters 560,000 (98.42%) 12:30 AM Attack on Titan Season 2 441,000 (78.75%) 1:00 AM Tokyo Ghoul 413,000 (93.65%) 1:30 AM Hunter × Hunter 372,000 (90.07%) 2:00 AM Lupin The 3rd 304,000 (81.72%) 2:30 AM Naruto: Shippuden 330,000 (108.55%) 3:00 AM Ghost In The Shell HD 326,000 (98.79%) TOTAL VIEWERS AVERAGE - 438,444 Well, at least nothing went under 300K. Better than anything we've seen in June, but still below average for 2017, like with the total viewer ratings. "For the entire week of June 12-18, 2017 in Total Day (8 p.m. to 5:59 a.m.), Adult Swim is up +6 percent in viewership (0.828 million vs. 0.782 million) and up +1 percent among Adults 18-49 (478,000 vs. 472,000) from one week earlier; the network is also down -20 percent in viewership (0.828 million vs. 1.039 million) and down -20 percent among Adults 18-49 (478,000 vs. 600,000) from the same week one year ago (June 13-19, 2016). (http://programminginsider.com/?p=17648)". Ouch. But compare that to Toonami's losses from last year, which for total viewers, were 6% for the 11:30-3 AM timeframe and only 4% for the whole Toonami block (which included 11 PM and 3 AM this year), and its losses for 18-49, which were 11% for 11:30-3 AM this year versus last and 9% for the whole Toonami block, and that is good to see. Toonami still down from last year, but not nearly as much as the rest of Adult Swim. Finally, the leaderboard of shows in progress: CURRENT SHOW AVERAGES Total Viewers Dragon Ball Super (8 PM) - 864,045 (22 episodes) Dragon Ball Super (11:30 PM) - 1,102,045 (22 episodes) Dragon Ball Z Kai: Final Chapters - 1,013,391 (23 episodes) Attack On Titan Season 2 - 792,250 (8 episodes) Tokyo Ghoul - 703,909 (11 episodes) Hunter × Hunter - 805,782 (55 episodes) Lupin the 3rd - 545,000 (1 episode) Naruto: Shippuden - 847,997 (162 episodes) Ghost In The Shell HD - 505,316 (19 episodes) Adults 18-49 Dragon Ball Super (8 PM, Estimate) - 418,727 (22 episodes) Dragon Ball Super (11:30 PM) - 666,545 (22 episodes) Dragon Ball Z Kai: Final Chapters - 612,435 (23 episodes) Attack On Titan Season 2 - 476,250 (8 episodes) Tokyo Ghoul - 435,636 (11 episodes) Hunter × Hunter - 480,855 (55 episodes) Lupin the 3rd - 304,000 (1 episode) Naruto: Shippuden - 470,998 (145 episodes) Ghost In The Shell HD - 315,158 (19 episodes) Adults 18-34 (Estimated) Dragon Ball Super (8 PM) - 267,905 (21 episodes) Dragon Ball Z Kai: Final Chapters - 414,522 (23 episodes) Attack On Titan Season 2 - 312,500 (8 episodes) Tokyo Ghoul - 291,091 (11 episodes) Lupin the 3rd - 211,000 (1 episode) Loopawn sticks out like a sore thumb, but hopefully it will improve? If not, it might ease down to 2:30 at some point. And I'd say at this point in time Dragon Ball Super is much more likely to take the Labor Day Weekend marathon. Let's just be glad Lupin made it to Toonami, OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookend47 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I hope that eventually word of mouth on social media will give Lupin the boost it deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daos Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Like I said before, Lupin has no main stream appeal and the ratings will never be great. But they know that. It's at the back for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianycpht Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Jack did marginally better because Family Guy did. I don't want them to think all of a sudden that Jack reruns are a great idea anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1gairon Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 ... how could the first show of the block get over a million, yet a premiere of a dub can't even beat Naruto Shippuden!!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daos Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 ... how could the first show of the block get over a million, yet a premiere of a dub can't even beat Naruto Shippuden!!? Naruto has actually beaten HxH and other shows that air before it, don't ask me how or why but it has it's appeal. What's really bad is that Lupin did basically the same numbers as the GITS rerun two spots down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginguy Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 ... how could the first show of the block get over a million, yet a premiere of a dub can't even beat Naruto Shippuden!!? This is a really good Naruto arc and it is only going to get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1gairon Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 This is a really good Naruto arc and it is only going to get better. Well there ya go. I have skipped Naruto on the block for a good year by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginguy Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Start watching. Some of the best fights of the entire series are about to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnimationFan14 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Well there ya go. I have skipped Naruto on the block for a good year by now. Some say that the Pain arc airing now could be one of the big reasons Toonami has kept Naruto for so long Either way whether someone is a Naruto fan or not some higher quality Shippuden episodes will be airing during this particular arc (A lot of Naruto fans skipping the previous episodes and arcs may be tuning in now for the first time in awhile, which could explain the sudden ratings mini spike) Lupin should still be getting much much higher ratings though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Start watching. Some of the best fights of the entire series are about to start. I highly await episodes 166 and 167; the former for Toshiyuki Tsuru's direction, and the latter for the reactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben0119 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Yeah. Talking about the ratings is a community fetish, and it often takes priority over discussing the actual shows. Even the Toonami Faithful Podcast dropped their segment about it, and that happened quite a while ago. I'm just using the ratings to back up my bitching about programming decisions and shows I don't like. I was done paying attention to them, but after the unprecedented idiocy of the Rick & Morty stunt and the Jack reruns leading the block, I could no longer afford to stay silent. And the worse Hiatus does the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
