brianycpht Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Yeah I'm glad they're only 1.5 hours below the time span the block used to have before it was cut in half. But something also tells me this is just preparation for when CN gains another hour of broadcast time, and then the block will return to being 4 hours long. I don't know. They just made a big deal about EXPANSION., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasqueradeOverture Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Is it HD? That would officially make Trigun a Toonami show Nope. Not everyone was as good in archiving stuff as Sunrise.

Ginguy Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I suspect that Toonami will lose the 11:00 hour when CN claims its extra hour, so this expansion might be short lived.

Not 100% true, as some West Coast games go to 1 or 2 AM ET--of course the West-Coasters have their own Toonami, which I get too, just not in HD. But most of the east coast games are over by 11 PM ET or at least Midnight. However, Live PD is indeed on hiatus through College Football season.

At this point, they should just try keeping the schedule as stable as they can throughout the year, and maybe make another push for an 11:00 DB Super premiere, though it's not required.

I'm not into Jojo or Tokyo Ghoul but I understand why other would be. That's the point of Toonami, you would hope that out of the now 10 shows (even if 2 of them are Dragonball shows) they show a week, there is something for you to enjoy.

CaptainStarwind Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 We need the ratings. Otherwise how can we assess shows? You don't need ratings to access shows. Besides, it isn't like your or any of our opinions on the matter would mean anything. DeMarco will program Toonami how he sees fit. He's made that abundantly clear in the past, and I don't expect that to change any time in the future. Ratings, especially in this day and age, don't really matter for a block like Toonami. Part of me does agree with Blatch, though. Sometimes it would do the Toonami fandom better not to see the ratings for the block. It leads to a lot of unnecessary fighting and trolling. On the other hand, it's also led to a lot of decent discussions about how the block can improve. It's a mixed bag, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daos Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I think the ratings are particularly relevant to this block, due to this block being cancelled for low ratings. It would be quite another thing if Demarco owned the network and was like ... "Yo I don't care what the ratings are for anything, it's my network and I'll air what I want when I want!" Then ratings talk would all be moot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1gairon Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I'm talking about hurricane Irma It hits the south on the weekend .... it occurs to me that the upswing of hurricanes in the USA will be yet another reason Toonami's ratings are constantly plummeting.

Then ratings talk would all be moot. The management at Adult Swim is apparently satisfied with what Toonami is getting, otherwise the block wouldn't have expanded, even if that expansion was later into the night. If the ratings were bad enough to cancel the block, we would have seen something, anything by now. But we haven't seen anything. Admittedly, the possibility exists that Toonami's expansion may lead to the block losing hours on the front end, but that has yet to be determined. DeMarco, for all his faults, loves the block, and doesn't want to see it die. If the block really is in danger of cancellation, he'll do his damndest to keep it afloat. That's enough for me to not be too concerned about ratings or cancellation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Atlanta is relatively safe. Unlike say, Puerto Rico and southern Florida. What's really getting screwed with are flight plans. The Dominican Republic is relatively undamaged but the airports grounded all flights because the hurricane is essentially a wall preventing anyone from leaving the country until tomorrow earliest.

OwlChemist81 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Yeah, and besides, we're talking Monday and Tuesday for all that, NOT during Toonami. I guess it's possible Turner networks could go off the air if this were 1992 but I'm willing to bet there are failsafes in place 25 years later. Also, it bares to mention that, while Toonami and the 11:30-3:30 AM time period both declined 37% from year-to-year, the decline was only 27% in both for 18-49. A somewhat related opinion: if JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 5 gets an anime adaptation, I believe it should use that super-catchy new song "The Man" by The Killers.

There's gonna be a dip, I'm sure, but everyone knows it will be from the hurricane, so Toonami shouldn't need to worry. And to be honest, I don't really blame the evacuees if they don't feel like turning Toonami on in their hotels or at their relatives' houses. I"m sure they have more pressing matters to deal with.
