Blatch Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 This week is going to be the first time in a long time I'm genuinely interested in the ratings... albeit for the wrong reason.

Do we think Toriyama's death helped boost turnout at least for Kai? It’s 2024 and there are still a ton of people who don’t even know Toonami came back. I think at best, the start of the block will be up a bit from lapsed viewers tuning in to see if TOM had anything to say on the matter, but other than that don’t expect any huge spikes. Plus, even among viewers, Kai coming back wasn’t even advertised outside of a single Facebook post, so there are probably a lot of people out there who thought Toonami might do something, if they still had DBZ, not knowing that it’s back. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep that’s what I expected, we had some non regulars blow in at midnight to see if TOM had anything to say. Hopefully they come back this week when TOM probably does have something to say. About what I expected to happen with Naruto as well. Bunch of people showed out last week for the finale and now that audience is just done. Episode was also hella boring so that probably didn’t help either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlChemist81 Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 Before you complain about Toonami's ratings, look at how the Metalocalypse movie did: https://www.spoilertv.com/2024/04/tv-ratings-for-friday-5th-april-2024.html?m=1 122K and 0.06 in 18-49? Pretty brutal! If you ask me, [as] should try a simulcast of some sort across TBS/TNT after Final Four Post-Game Inside College Basketball goes off the air next year. If Toonami gets to air War of Rohirrim, it would be where and how to air it. It would do just GANGBUSTERS numbers! But even without that, Ninja Kamui still did VERY respectable: Last but not least, well would ya look at that!? https://www.spoilertv.com/2023/03/top-200-cable-reruns-week-ending-26th_01243089880.html?m=1 DragonBall Z Kai checked in at #175 with 169K viewers and a 0.094 in 18-49!

Only time will tell if this is a fluke or if DBZ Kai still has some staying power! I think anyone who wanted to watch Doomstar did so already. So that average over 2 hours doesn’t really surprise me. Unlike regular Metal episode, I don’t think the film has much rewatchability. As far as the block goes, there’s nothing much to complain about. Ninja Kamui is holding strong and everything else is following its lead. Especially Naruto this week for some reason, were people jacked to see the last filler episode ever? Lets just hope Demarco has something good to replace Lycoris so this momentum keeps up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sketch Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I guess folks aren't really hyped for ZOM 100 and given it's available on Netflix, Hulu and Crunchyroll it's pretty easy to find where you can watch the rest of the season. The upcoming 2-3 week break isn't going to help matters either. It's a great show regardless but great shows that are widely available just don't tend to do Toonami any favors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure its reputation isn’t helping it either. People really soured on it towards the end. Which is a huge shift since the first episode had a lot of people ready to call it AOTY. It’s disappointing to see though because this really doesn’t help the argument of wanting less shonen and more seinen picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is if it falls under the radar, that means Demarco misses it too since he doesn’t know shit about anime unless it’s old, shonen, or some meme series with an iconic director. Under better leadership, Toonami would have been strip mining the Sentai catalog way back in 2020. But instead we have someone who is way past their prime and can’t keep his eyes off unobtainable prizes. Id say the only reason we even got Zom 100 is because it was the anime whore of 2023 where it was available on every notable platform, and whoever made that call probably wanted it on Toonami too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think we should be way beyond the “Lol Sony won’t let us have the big shows so here’s reruns or double One Piece” approach. It’s been a thing since 2021 that they haven’t made anything available to them that wasn’t already an established franchise on the block. I have to assume they are smart enough to realize by now that CR shows are a dead end. Can they not look at the Sentai catalog and find something? Hell, they are even a company that would love to help them pick something. Hopefully the dialogue between them is more than “hey let us know when you have a new season of Lupin we can air!” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 The main issue with Sentai is that they don’t dub everything, and a lot of their dubbed material is older and/or doesn’t fit the action paradigm. Two of the bigger hits for Sentai last year were Oshi no Ko (which was such a big hit it made the New York Times best of 2023 recommendations) and Ya Boi Komining, a drama about the idol industry and a fish out of water comedy respectively. And that doesn’t count the stuff that even if it was dubbed, would never get past Standards and Practices, something Netflix and Crunchyroll pointedly do not have to worry about. So as nice as it would be for Sentai to dub some of these shows and send them over, it seems impractical at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t expect Sentai to fill in the crucial lead hour, but they have more than enough viable content in their catalog that could cover the 1am hour. It doesn’t need to be hot off the press new, it just has to be good and engaging. Lycoris was yesterday’s news and people still enjoyed watching it. Sentai has plenty of action titles to work with. They might not be first pick shows, but when the single alternative is double One Piece, I think people will be a little more receptive to a middle of the road Sentai pick.

PokeNirvash Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 1. So are there uncensored female nipples in Chained Soldier or aren't they, because whether or not they are is the deciding point between "unairable" and "TV-MAS every episode". 2.
