Jman Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 That’s pretty much it. This isn’t anime vs US cartoons, it’s what’s readily available vs what isn’t. I still think Peacemaker probably would send the views through the roof. You can’t see him but you can see the ratings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben0119 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I didn't realize we wouldn't have the regular block for three whole weeks. That's kind of disappointing. I don't get why they are doing the Fena marathon when they haven't done much holiday marathons at all like they used to. Three weeks is a long time without the regular lineup and I could see some viewers thinking the regular lineup has been canceled after that long.

EmpressAngel Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 And then anyone over the age of five would just spend two minutes googling "Toonami cancelled 2021?" or going to any of the various social media outlets (Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, etc) to ask. Who are these theoretical viewers that we need to be concerned about who somehow can't figure out how to operate the internet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Seriously, the only people who still watch the block are boomers like us who are in it for life. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Outside of the boomer thing (I take my generational identity somewhat seriously), I agree wholly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excuse me, sir! I'm a "Xennial," and proud of it! 😉 But seriously, my 40-year old ass can't help but fall asleep sometimes during Toonami no matter how awesome the shows are. Thank God for DVR! The ratings breakdowns have shown that very few "Boomers" (50+) actually watch the block. They're much more likely to watch ESPN, Fox News, or whatever trash Hallmark is playing. Toonami's chief viewership is still 18-49. Edited October 18, 2021 by OwlChemist81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows how well it might have done at a decent time on Toonami? Edited October 19, 2021 by Sketch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a blatant kids show that also got completely clobbered by the much more adult Hellsing Ultimate, and as per DeMarco was the show they also got the most complaints about. I won’t lie though, if the next DC movie release has Toonami air a Peacemaker marathon, ratings will go through the roof. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) The Bat kinda fell flat this week, but these movies WERE older. Next week it's Fena finale and a 4-hour Halloween-themed Batman epic from 2021 that got a 🍅100% on Rotten Tomatoes! Bring It On!

EmpressAngel Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 On what planet does "Feudal Joker piloting a castle mecha being attacked by a giant monkey made up of thousands of regular monkeys controlled by a magic flute" fall flat?

PokeNirvash Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I think he was talking about the movie scoring under 200k in the ratings moreso than any personal opinion on the movie's quality (which from the looks of it he legitimately enjoyed). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
