Gundam Unicorn on Toonami this January... discuss.

[Sketch]

Build Fighters English dub was recorded in Asia. No thanks.

 

It's a good show though very intended for children but without a passable English dub they should not air it.

 

I think the fact that even DBZ and Family Guy have done much worse than usual the past several months is indication Gundam is not the main reason the ratings are down. Gundam has managed an average very close to Parasytes despite everything being lower than when Parasyte was in premieres. Though I still hope Battle Tendency and Unicorn fair much better than Phantom Blood and IBO have since October.

Uhh they're not going to use the Indonesian Asian Carpfish dub, Sketch.  A dub like that was recorded for Final Act, too.  That's not what Adult Swim aired.  A new English dub recorded by skilled and reputable American or Canadian dubbers would be made for the civilized English speaking world.

 

Gundam is sabotaging everything that comes after it.  Can't blame the lead-ins for that.  And lead-ins were doing worse because they moved the block up.  Thought that was solved after they moved it back.

 

Gundam is an albatross weighing down the rest of the block.  They should air Exo Squad instead.

[Jman]

Exo Squad was shit.

 

And in case you haven't noticed, everything is down.  One Punch Man was the main exception and a show that popular is a rarity.  It's like comparing the performance of a Conor McGregor fight to a standard Fox Sports card.

If the lead ins are down they Gundam is going to be down as well.  And so will every thing after it.

 

When you get to the point where even Family Guy is down, you have to stop blaming just Gundam and look elsewhere.  Everything is down.

Oh good you understand why they wouldn't air the only existing English dub. Here's the thing though, Build Fighters isn't getting a dub done in America. They already released it on Bluray and included the Asian English dub so you can consider the book pretty much closed on that baring very unlikely circumstances.

 

Gundam really isn't sabotaging anything. It held DBZ about as well as anything else has for those 4 weeks and then it held One-Punch Man about as well as anything has held DBZ. I hate to say it but JoJo is actually proving more of a ratings problem than IBO. Toonami's ratings woes started around the time IBO started but not infact because of Gundam. Adult Swim declined this year across the board to the point that even Family Guy and DBZ can't get what they used to but so has the rest of cable so all things considered Adult Swim is still living at the top of the heap.

 

As difficult as it may be to wrap our brains around it, these ratings aren't an indication that Toonami is doing badly or is even in trouble. It competes well just about every week and that's really all that matters.

Welp, mistook this for the ratings thread somehow, but I guess I'll say that I believe Gundam Unicorn will do better in the ratings than Gundam IBO. It's just a better, more Gundam show!

 

IBO is like "steampunk Gundam", if that makes a lick of sense! Not so for Unicorn, as beam weapons return!
