OwlChemist81 Posted May 9 Author Share Posted May 9 So how did the last normal Toonami for a while do? Not too good, I'm afraid! The Force was not with Toonami on the 4th as Ninja Kamui ended its first (and possibly only) season with a resounding thud and apparently dragged the rest of the lineup to the abyss with it. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/ninja-kamui/episode-13/.210532 Well, that's no surprise. ⭐️⭐️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlChemist81 Posted May 17 Author Share Posted May 17 Welp, no episodes in the first Ninja Kamui marathon made the Top 200 Reruns: https://www.spoilertv.com/2023/03/top-200-cable-reruns-week-ending-26th_01243089880.html?m=1 Remarkably, the Rick & Morty lead-in checked in at #102 with 208K and a 0.105 in 18-49. Well, so much for any idea that this show has replay value, but then again, these WERE technically 3-peats since we also got the subtitled episodes the same night as the dubbed premieres.

You have people dedicate months to watch the show week to week, they ain’t coming back on a dead night with no new shows for a show they JUST watched. This is why I hope AS has incredibly low expectations for Rewind, causes after the first couple weeks when the new toy luster wears off, it’s gonna be turning in pretty rough numbers.

So if you are the type that follows Toonami fandom social media, your feed is probably filled with people who watch marathons and tweet all night about them. Fansites are especially dedicated to blowing up hashtags to make them trend. Nothing wrong with that- it’s their job! So in appearance you’d think these marathons would do great, but the fandom is a very small percentage of the general audience I’m at a point in my life where these weeks are a relief to me because I have so much going on and things to keep up with that any repeat will not be watched. I simply don’t have the time and need to use that to catch up on other things. I think much of the audience is in a similar position and just doesn’t have time to watch a repeat of something we just watched.

Program the current schedule and have it hashtag the show every 10 mins or so. I haven’t checked in a long time, but do Toonami shows even trend anymore? Especially in an election year where whatever Grimnald Blarmpf is doing is straight to the top trends. Regardless, I don’t think anyone important is being fooled by artificial twitter engagement, especially when the blocks actual numbers are barely treading water. And in the case of nights like this, sinking like a boulder. Im with you there on the breaks though. I welcome the couple free Saturdays now and then. It’s easier to stomach when the schedule kinda blows ass anyway. Schedule we are coming back to only has Zom as appointment TV and I am just not excited at all about the block coming back on Saturday.

I do think someone at at least Toonami Faithful keeps up with the hashtagging live. I’m sure Sketch can shed light on who but I do think it’s an actual person doing it and not a bot. It is kind of funny how everything is on break or off for the summer and Toonami is returning on the holiday weekend and debuting a new show as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlChemist81 Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 With that uptick by Shippuden in 18-49 on 5/25/24, I thought we might see DBZ Kai crack the lower reaches of the Top 200 again, but no dice: https://www.spoilertv.com/2023/03/top-200-cable-reruns-week-ending-26th_01243089880.html?m=1 Rick & Morty led into Toonami with a very strong 0.147 in 18-49 and 331K overall, so maybe the Man of Steel isn't as strong this time around?

Toonamiguy321 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Seems like Superman settled in between its first episode high and second episode low. Hopefully it doesn’t slip lower. When they first aired, Naruto and Kai were considered premiers, so it’s hard to believe that Sailor Moon wouldn’t be considered one 20+ years after its last appearance on cable. But it’s also hard to believe week 1 Rewind would start off below 0.01, unless that’s how bad Checkered Past has gotten in recent months. I guess time will tell. 0.01 is not sustainable, so if Rewind is canned by next month we will know why. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news on debate week was Toonami didn’t do significantly worse than usual, but rather cable news did immensely better than it usually does and pushed regular entrants off for the night. Something we may not have even noticed if the daily ratings still were being posted. Wont be surprised if Toonami itself takes a hit this week since the debacle happened just 8 hours prior to Toonami starting and had live updates all day and night. Since it will dominate news coverage, next Saturday will probably end up like debate week with much stiffer competition with more people watching the news.

In this case, for the 3rd time in a year. If the regular block can still (barely I’ll admit but it was still there) chart on the week of a historical debate disaster, a historical assassination attempt on a former president, and a historical dropping out of the presumptive nominee, then the block would have charted with the Olympics had the normal lineup aired. This was a simple case of them using marathons to line things up, a necessary job when a show you are starting has an abnormal runtime to factor in one week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy shit lmao that’s a new record low by a huge gap. A little unfair since it’s the average of 2 timeslots, but I think even splitting them they still would have broken the record. Really goes to show how politics can rock this chart. This was a quiet week, nothing ridiculous happened. So despite those awful numbers, our 3 premier shows made the chart, at a pretty healthy ranking too. Next week is the DNC and its accompanying coverage, so we may not see any numbers if they are this bad. And with Rick subs up front tonight, they might be. Hopefully after that we can at least have a quiet September, but I’d expect the rest of the year to be pretty feisty on the news networks from October onwards. Im gonna put my bet down now.
