MHA is actually gaining much better in Live+3 at 9:30 PM than it did at 10 PM! I think it averaged around 13% when it was at 10, but now, 25% and 34% in 18-49!

Hey, the 2nd week of the lineup in which Toonami leads off Adult Swim actually did quite a bit better than the first!

http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-10-13-2018.html

Final-Cable-2018-Oct-13.SAT_.png

DBS back over 600K, and all 5 eligible shows made the Top 50 (though just barely in JoJo's case), right before we cut down to 4 eligible shows next week...

PI got their grid up EARLY this week!

Someone tell me again WHY FLCL3 is rerunning at 11:30!? That's gonna produce some really WRETCHED retention percentages, but ironically it might make AOT's final stretch before the mid-season finale look better! And I never thought I'd see the day where a 199K in 18-49 was formatted in yellow, but here we are.

Only change next week is Jack gets doubled-up, which is a dead giveaway to me that they don't plan on rerunning Pop Team Epic in the back end...maybe. I guess it could still replace One-Punch Man, though I'm thinking now that will probably be AOT.

That's complete crap--there's no reason why whatever ends up there can't be moved down if it's still going. Also, Megalobox COULD be coming December 1st. There are instances where a show has been announced for a given month but ends up premiering a bit earlier in the past. See, for examples, SAO and Blue Exorcist.

Moving the Alternative rerun to a later slot would cause ratings instability, and the Toonami crew doesn't want that less than a month after shuffling much of the block around. Additionally, Progressive's rerun went the whole six weeks without being removed, so it must not have been a particular threat to the rest of the lineup. We're probably at a point where every world premiere will get another run right after it finishes, so there's no use in complaining.

The situation with AoT S3, regardless of if it took Jason off guard, shouldn't affect where or when Megalo Box airs. They can just replace the former with a brand new show come December, maybe even on the same day the latter premieres. Sketch has theorized about this and posted his thoughts as of late.

I'd love to know what the deal is with Toonami's wording, since they called MB their "newest show" while their other post implied that they wanted to have a new one ready to go when Alternative ended. Maybe these semantics are referring to "newest show" based on when they get announced. If they actually have something new coming and it was delayed, and it's wasn't Scavengers Reign, it's likely an acquired show from Funimation. For whatever reason, they like to announce the Funi pickups very soon (usually between 2 and 3 weeks) before airing, but ones from other companies will be announced more ahead of time. Both Sentai shows were known months in advance, all of Aniplex's got announced at least a month before, and even the direct-from-Japan acquisitions like Lupin Part IV and the Gundams have gotten a few weeks' worth of leeway. Viz has been all over the place, going back to when HxH was announced just 15 days from its premiere, but their more recent show announcements have come early, including that for Megalo Box.

I'm not even getting into what would happen if the new Scavengers episode is what's holding stuff up, largely because I can't comprehend that.

But what I'm really curious about above all else is why they thought they could wait until just six days out to announce that they were getting a new show to begin with, and that it was delayed. Does DeMarco want to go back to the "good old days" when you didn't know a show was airing until the week before it premiered? He tried to do that early on in the [as] Toonami's history with Soul Eater, but external schedules spoiled it. At least he's found a roundabout way to try and pull it off, but I'm not crazy about it.

For what it's worth, he was successful in doing that with Deadman Wonderland, Casshern Sins, and Tenchi Muyo! GXP; the former two announced the week of, and the latter announced on-air via promo.

Yeah, this pretty much proves the 9 PM hour is a "garbage" hour no matter what airs there. Toonami lost markedly from Road Chip to DBZ Kai in total viewers and Adults 18-49, and also lost slightly in every hour, but at least the Ninja hour beat the movie in key demos on average.

Yeah, running FLCL Alternative Episode 1 for a 3rd time at 11:30 was a TERRIFIC idea!

BTW, in case you haven't seen, we now have a schedule. Mob Psycho takes over 11:30, FLCL Alternative falls to 2, One-Punch Man and Lupin the 3rd slide back to 2:30 and 3, respectively, and just one Jack closes out the night at 3:30.

https://www.adultswim.com/schedule/

Also, according to the "yet another better [adult swim] schedule," Toonami stays 7 hours on November 3rd, transition from DST. Instead, the 2nd 2 AM hour, the 7th hour of Toonami, is Lupin/Jack like on 10/27, and the 3 AM hour after that is "Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem - A Klok Opera". Kinda cool to see a timeslot where they could put that back on the air.

FLCL at 2 is a great idea.  It's a rerun of a show that sadly hasn't been doing well.  And one of those Jacks was clearly used as a placeholder so I'm fine with that.

Believe it or not, this rerun held DB Super better than any of the three episodes that premiered after it. That's probably due to that show having lower ratings this week, but it's worth mentioning.

The first two hours were much weaker (except for DBZ Kai, somehow), and the back stretch utterly collapsed. It's crazy to see a rerun getting a five-digit total for A18-49s. This could be the new normal, but I think the numbers will snap back when Mob premieres this weekend.

Super is complete crap for the next 3 months so if you were thinking Super was gonna be driving the ratings.....  I have bad news.

Ok I've gotta say the Ninja power hour needs to go, that's some of the worst TV I've ever seen. I don't care if the ratings aren't awful for them.... there's no way having something that bad on so early is good for the block.

Hey didn't we just celebrate the worst ratings ever last week? I'm still all partied out.

Personal opinions aside, I agree, Shippuden filler is not the best way to start out your block's second wind, especially with ratings this dismal.

I don't believe Toonami will shrink any. I DO believe we could see, if the 8 PM hour ever returns to [as], double Family Guy leading into DBZ Kai at 9 in turn leading into Dragon Ball Super at 9:30. Maybe even double Kai at 9 leading-in to double Super (last week's and this week's) at 10 would do better. Of course then we'd have to lose a LOT of reruns or expand to 4 AM, so that might be far-fetched. I'd say FG hour at 8, DB hour at 9, followed by everything else (Naruto, Boruto, MHA, Mob, AOT, JoJo, etc.) might be the best bet for ratings. And all that would really take is swapping Super and MHA.

If you're going to go that far, you might as well air actual porn. :RoboTongue:

We'll ease into it with some light ecchi. Then maybe test the waters with some DXD and Freezing. Then maybe some rapin goblins.

THEN we'll go hentai. The normal kind....not the kind where demons are raping elves or some sillyness.

Futa hentai as a last resort.

I'd say it's probably time to say "f it" soon and make Toonami 5 hours from 8 PM-1 AM, then replay it from 1-6 AM. Might as well at this point once we get the 8 PM hour back from CN.

Is that Jack run the first time a show on Toonami ever got below 100K??

If you mean the first time a show on Toonami ever got below 200K total viewers and 100K 18-49, then yes.

I agree, albeit for personal reasons. Considering how early some of the premieres air now, I'd love to be able to watch them at a more typical time via a repeating block, and without needing a DVR.

A 5 hour block that just repeats at 1AM seems like a waste. They'd also have to make sure that the 12:30AM show that would repeat at 5:30AM isn't TV-MA or preferably not a heavy TV-14.

With as many premieres as they have now, 5 hours arguably isn't enough space. I mean do you guys really want this to be all of what Toonami is?

08:00 - Dragon Ball Z Kai
08:30 - My Hero Academia
09:00 - Black Clover
09:30 - Boruto
10:00 - Dragon Ball Super
10:30 - Megalo Box
11:00 - Mob Psycho 100
11:30 - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
12:00 - Hunter x Hunter
12:30 - Naruto Shippuden

Even if they were to dump Kai to weeknights in favor of having a recent rerun after all 9 premieres, they'd potentially run into the content issue with that rerun slot that would repeat at 5:30AM.

there's no content limitations at even 5:45 am (Metalocalypse for one if we're talking starting at 5:45. Plenty other examples of TV-MA content in the 5 hour and specifically at 5:30.) but since TV-MA Rick and Morty has aired at 9 pm and the previous content limitation never had anything to do with being the first show that night (see The Boondocks) they should be able to air anything at 9 pm now. 8 pm is still affected though because Rabbot didn't air at 8 last month.

as for toonami being repeated, unless they're gonna air the reruns on friday nights they shouldn't do that.

It's a pretty sad state of affairs when Toonami doesn't even win the night in total viewers and households, but at least it did in the key demographics. Only making it to Top 20 in 18-34 is pretty sub-par indeed though.

It's a pretty sad state of affairs when Toonami doesn't even win the night in total viewers and households, but at least it did in the key demographics. Only making it to Top 20 in 18-34 is pretty sub-par indeed though.

I also hate how Naruto's Son is the only show listed here that isn't a "repeat". -_-

DBZ Kai gained 18+ viewers from the Regular Show Halloween episodes. Can’t really fault it there.

If you thought Mob Psycho 100 was going to save Toonami from its current ratings tailspin, THINK AGAIN:

So where the hell is Mob? OH, THERE HE IS...

#60 MOB PSYCHO 100 ADULT SWIM 11:30 PM 30 0.14 345

Well, at least he beat Ducktales on Disney in 18-49. And just for the hell of it, here's how JoJo did:

#75 JOJOS ADV: DIAMOND UNBRK ADULT SWIM 12:30 AM 30 0.11 264

I'm sure a lot of this is attributed to the Saturday synagogue shooting since so many news programs did a bit better than usual, even if they didn't pull off the knockout punch they did with Kavanaugh's confirmation fiasco 3 weeks ago, but MAN, Toonami sure has seen better days!

Did we pull off another worst ratings ever day?

So it looks like people are finally starting to realize Boruto sucks since it's now lower than MHA and Naruto.

And sorry Jojo fans but it's time for Jojo to go go. It's getting beaten by the two shows after it and in the key demo by One Punch man reruns. And it just isn't very good anymore.

1st Episode curse.  Not everyone still knows Mob Psycho 100 is playing on Toonami now.

So that's interesting. The highest show didn't even reach the height it did last week, but this time no show got below 200K.

No, we did not. Last week was worse on both counts. Man, I never thought I'd see the day when a silly filler episode of Naruto Shippuden got the 2nd-highest 18-49 ratings for the night, Boruto came in 3rd, and literally EVERYTHING else was under 200K. But we had about the same thing last week, only the bump was before, rather than after, and the floor was really, really low. This week, it wasn't quite as low.

When it comes to Boruto, I'd say it's a marathon, not a sprint. It's only Episode 5 of a LOOOONG series that needs a chance to establish itself in that timeslot. That said, DBS WAS doing better at 10:30 so a switcheroo (with N:S and BC also trading places) MIGHT not be a terrible idea. But then again, we've got Megalobox coming soon, and I'm thinking now it will be November 17th to replace Attack on Titan, though Toonami hasn't made an official announcement yet, and that would be moving it up QUITE a bit, though they DID do something similar with the original SAO when they suddenly and unexpectedly lost Thundercats. Also, count on Attack on Titan Season 3 Part 1 to get a rerun replacing Lupin, I'd say, though SOMETHING needs to replace One-Punch Man on the same night as AOT's mid-season finale. For that, maybe Pop Team Epic, or hell, even Gundam Unicorn? Alternatively, Toonami COULD double-up on Lupin at 2:30 on November 10th and 17th to blow through it, marathon Season 3 Part 1 of AOT on Thanksgiving Weekend from 9 PM-3 AM, finish off the night with another double-Jack, and THEN start AOT from the beginning doubled-up for a full hour sometime between 2 AM and 4 AM on December 1st! If they're still looking for something to do with those early episodes, and a weeknight run isn't an option, that might be the next best thing. Nothing like some man-eating-Titans to raise the back end and greet people coming home from nightclubs! Plus if they choose 3 AM, it would get the benefit of delayed viewing even if Jack sinks the block at 2:30.

As for JoJo, it was a really weird one-off episode that most fans might find hard to stomach (yes, pun intended!). I'd say JoJo's biggest problem is it clashes stylistically with Attack on Titan. But once that's gone, I would move Mob Psycho back to Midnight. That might make the block "flow" better. Megalobox, if we're getting it as a direct replacement for AOT, just makes sense after Dragon Ball Super.
