The1gairon Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) ..... kinda already been talking about this is in the ratings thread, but I suppose this warrants its own thread instead. I give em 7 weeks. Edited October 3, 2019 by elfie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountFrylock Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 i can see them too stubborn to move it down or remove it just because its dragon ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1gairon Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 So yeah. Good to know all our wise predictions about what Toonami will do without a DB show are totally useless because the answer is that they CAN'T accept a Toonami future without a DB show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountFrylock Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 all because of stupid nielsen boxes...the reason it gets such ratings is because the nielsen boxes go out to random people and DB is the most mainstream anime everything else....not likely a random person channel flipping would like them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The1gairon Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 It sucks also because Toonami's run by a bunch of stubborn people who won't know what to do once the time comes when they CAN'T rely on Dragonball anymore!! All they are doing is delaying the inevitable! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatch Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 What's to say that Dragon Ball reruns don't have more staying power than those of Attack on Titan? Or even Samurai Jack S5, if you've forgotten about that attempt. No matter what, Super is almost out of episodes. It's either they take what could be a big ratings loss or try to offset that with reruns, and DB has been the most successful property to ever air on Toonami across its entire history. Reruns of it aired on the classic Toonami many times, and they were probably as responsible for keeping things afloat back then as new episodes. As I've said before, they can always bail on this idea if it doesn't hold up. And it's not like any ratings tank no matter how major will instantly murder Toonami, as they've got things planned through two years from now at least. Seriously, you'll live... and it'll be a lot easier if you just watch the shows and enjoy them rather than try to do this armchair quarterback stuff. 😴 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daos Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Super rerun ratings will probably do fine, it's like Family guy.. it's rewatchable because you don't have to think about anything. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasqueradeOverture Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Production on DBS will likely continue at some point in the near future, so the placeholder makes sense. And because nobody watches live TV ratings don't really matter, so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time they did this the block got chopped in half and movies were banished from the block. This will not end well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben0119 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) *SIGH* Just... *SIGH* I can see that even still, after I have lowered my expectations multiple levels, multiple times, my faith was still misplaced and Demarco and Toonami disappoint yet again. Here I was congratulating them for trying to build a new foundation with One Punch Man and other series, that they weren't going to use Dragon Ball as an endless crutch (remember that time Demarco said Toonami didn't need Dragon Ball, at the time it wasn't available to them? LOL,) they instead just go ahead and do that. Because they can't come up with anything else. Sad. And why the fuck is Demon Slayer on so late?! Talk about a waste of a major premiere! Kick Food Wars to the fuckin' curb! Edited October 5, 2019 by ben0119 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatch Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Well, we have a new development on this: This is presumably only for the last four episodes... and MHA's rerun also has that many remaining. I think you can put two and two together. Edited October 6, 2019 by Blatch 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlChemist81 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) Welp, y'all beat me to the punch! It does indeed turn out that this rerun seems to be a placeholder of some sort, and MHA Season 3's 4 AM rerun also has that many episodes left! But do they really have enough faith in an MHA Season 4 that's behind a simuldub about as far as Dr. Stone to debut at 11 PM? That's amazing if so! MHA S4 seems all but confirmed for November 9th! But I totally don't get, based on the ratings for the two shows, WHY One-Punch Man wouldn't get the 11 PM slot instead of MHA.

MHA's previous seasons all aired on Toonami like 2 whole years after the episodes came out, and changed to under a year when Toonami aired Season 3, and that didn't hurt the ratings one bit.

OwlChemist81 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Still a far cry from what One-Punch Man was able to do in 2016 after being out for like 10 months! Every episode of OPM averaged over 1 million viewers, but it WAS before the decline. Still, what would be comparable success for Season 2? 500K viewers? 750K viewers? That's territory that only Dragon Ball Super and maybe, ironically, Boruto, has entered lately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
