Then again, I knew about the old Lupin show airing on Toonami and didn't much care either. I just find it annoying that so many people over the years kept hailing the franchise and Toonami can't ever reflect that! It's the same issue I take with KLK, or Space Dandy, or Soul Eater, or anything else! Anime shows are praised for years and years yet Toonami can't SHOW that! I don't know if it's true that "no one cared," but it IS true that it didn't do very well in the ratings, even compared to other series that have aired at 1:30 or 2 AM in the past, or the other Lupin series that aired on [as]. It peaked at 595K total viewers (Episode 3), 357K adults 18-49 (Episode 17), and 251K adults 18-43 (also Episode 17). Believe it or not, it DID actually finish with an average just over 200K 18-34, so I think we'll still see Part 5 on Toonami; the question is "when?" If we're talking simuldub it might even get a timeslot boost, but I don't see a show leaving Toonami to give Lupin the 3rd Part 5 a timeslot, unless it's Gundam IBO, and that's ending in May, not April. But if it IS a TRUE simuldub, I guess it would make sense at 11 PM before Black Clover, moving up the Dragon Balls. Chances are it won't be, though, and mid-to-late block would be more appropriate whenever we get it. http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-sunday-cable-originals-network-finals-1-21-2018.html Also, we now have some evidence that midblock Toonami is doing about as good as or better than other nights, at least in [as]'s classic target demo of adults 18-34: Gundam and Lupin got a 0.30 and a 0.29 respectively, and SuperMansion on Sunday night at 1 AM managed only a 0.25. In all likelihood Hunter x Hunter beat that. It should be noted, however, that SM's 18-49 number of 0.24 just barely edges out the average of Gundam's (0.25) and Lupin's (0.22). We won't know if HxH actually beat SM in 18-49 until the Saturday page update comes out, though. Edited January 23, 2018 by OwlChemist81 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epcar has been very forthcoming about their desire to do it as well as sort of dropping hints they already do. They started working on Part 4 I’m January of 16 and we didn’t see it until mid 17. I think Toonami having a business relationship (thanks to Discotek hooking them up) with TMS will shorten the wait time, but it’s so up in the air with all the parties involved that we have no idea how long it’ll take.

Well of course the chance of such a thing happening is slim, and I cover it in the rest of the paragraph by saying chances are it won't. Toward the end of this year, late summer at the earliest, is far more likely, and there are plenty of openings in mid-block that Part 5 of Lupin the 3rd could slip into. That's not completely true. Aniplex did TRY one with Durarara!! x2, but I doubt they'll be doing that again. The fact that FUNimation is dubbing Frankxx is evidence of that.

Ginguy Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Naruto needs to move up to follow up Kai. BC is under-performing at this point, but I think as it continues to go forward it will find a balance and steady audience which could put it in the 12:30 to 1:30 range without much difficulty. Jojo.... Yeah.... IBO isn't catching on the way I figured it would given the near constant fighting from this point onward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of that point, I'm sick of Dragon Ball on Toonami. I could deal with it when it was just DBZ Kai, since I do like Dragon Ball Z, and the show had a definite end point. But both of the shows on the block are getting to be too much, I think. It doesn't help that I'm not a huge fan of Super whatsoever. It keeps me entertained enough when I watch it, but the tone of the show is so different from that of DBZ (or even of Dragon Ball, I'd argue), and a lot of moments in the show genuinely make me cringe when I watch them, that I wouldn't be sad if the show left Toonami. The drop from DBZ Kai to Black Clover leaves me stunned. I want to give the show a chance, but if the ratings continue to be like that, then it needs to be moved back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 If you had told me this time last year when Toonami had just fought successfully to get 11:30 PM back not once, not twice, but THREE times after losing it to Family Guy, that in a year we'd see a non-DB show end up at 11:30 and only pull 600K, and for everything to be just fine and Dandy, I'd wonder what the hell you were smoking. But apparently that's the reality we live in now. Toonami had such a GREAT 2015 and 2016 that apparently WON THE WAR for Saturday night and they can get away with what would have been considered cancel-worthy 3 years ago!

OwlChemist81 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 You're not wrong that it's all relative. I just noticed a very interesting tidbit from the Programming Insider report: http://programminginsider.com/saturday-final-ratings-warriors-rockets-generates-third-watched-abc-nba-saturday-primetime-telecast-date/ Dragon Ball Super (ADSM, 10:30 PM, 30 min.)– 1.068 million viewers (#29)– 0.51 A18-49 (#2) That #2 isn't #2 among cable originals--it's #2 across ALL CABLE in prime time Saturday! That means literally that the only show on cable that was more watched by adults 18-49 the entire 7 PM-11 PM portion of the night was Live PD. As long as Dragon Ball Super keeps doing stuff like that, Toonami has the 10:30 PM slot on lockdown! It turned out to be a great move for the block, though it needs a better bridge to the part after Midnight than DBZ Kai and Black Clover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make it an all ages channel with a young adult focus with obviously mature content at night. It seems they lost the battle for the kids. Maybe that’s not good for Nielsen though, I don’t know?

These filler episodes, while light and simple, are all episodic and not difficult to follow at all. Even the heavy on plot canon episodes do well and this year outperform the show proceeding it.

I don't get Starz and will likely wait until the next preview weekend to see it... https://www.starz.com/series/31028 They have a bunch more as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I've known that Manga was able to stream GITS:SAC for a while, but for some reason Adult Swim owns it. Hmm, looks different than that. Why Starz would have Naruto and InuYasha is beyond me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than likely bought the rights to it and is using it to prevent other companies from using it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I don't know why they would have the first 2 seasons though. They also seem to have Buso Renkin and Vampire Knight. This is evidence of some sort of bond that Hulu has with Starz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manga hasn't been doing that well lately so they might of done a private sale and Starz now owns them Thats my theory 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korosu Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Adult Swim co-funded both seasons of SAC so they own the rights forever. Someone on reddit thinks Aqua Teen is airing next month and there's no evidence for that. So if you see that on your guide that's wrong too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianycpht Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-1-27-2018.html I know they say ratings don’t matter as much anymore.. but I never thought I’d see 300k viewers in the midnight hour! But to be fair, Nick at Nite has a bunch of cable premieres of decade old episodes of Two and a Half Men going (800k at 1am). Good luck taking that on Toonami??.

DBZ audiences don't seem to take to Black Clover but Naruto could serve as a bridge. Yeah, the audience wants what it wants. If Naruto holds DBZ better than all the other shows can, put it there. To me it feels more natural to go from the light shonen stuff to the dark violent stuff (Jojo, Gundam, and sort of HxH now) to Naruto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Clearly the ratings don’t matter when you want to ignore how bad they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatch Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Oh my goodness. How about we just plug Shippuden into Black Clover's spot and replace it with a(nother) rerun of Samurai Jack S5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
