Toonami will be hosting a panel at Momocon this Friday at 7pm EST. Should this thread not survive till then, a new one will be made shortly before the panel for a live watch, as there is a good chance there will be some news.
Attack on Titan S3 part 2 will begin airing this Saturday at 11:30pm. Toonami moves up 30 minutes to accommodate, and MHA moves to the lead at 10:30. Everything else maintains its current slot.
Lupin the Third part 5 will replace Jojo DiU on June 15th. Timeslot yet to be decided.
Last week, Super started the night strong, and MHA quickly squandered that. This week, we see that was all a fluke as Super plummets 200k from last week. Chad Clover DELETED Jojo yet again, and Naruto is widening its gain gap on Boruto. And HxH still beats them both. Will the new schedule be the solution? Unlikely.
11:00 Dragon Ball Super 661 0.31 398
11:30 My Hero Academia (r) 408 0.19 245
12:00a The Promise to Neverwatch 363 0.17 214
12:30a Sword Art Online: Alicization 334 0.16 206
1:00a Jojo’s Boner Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable 271 0.14 176
1:30a CHAD Clover (r) 291 0.14 182
2:00a Boruto: Naruto Next Generations 222 0.10 132
It’s gonna get worse next week when the block leads with MHA and 1 less Family Man
Liam Richardson
I had my hands full working the SNL Party during the overnight hours. There's just no incentive for me to stay home and watch Toonami because none of the shows, except Black Clover is fun to watch.
Jackson Howard
How did everything plummet from last week? Super was at almost 900K I think, and everything else was up like 100k from this week.
Nathaniel Cooper
I don’t believe people tune in for specific episodes, but Ultra Instinct may have been significant enough to be an exception. That one night crowd is gone because they didn’t see anything worth staying for
Gavin Stewart

Zachary Parker
I survived a fucking tornado today.
Luis Morales
>attack on politics that showed all the action for the season in the trailer followed by Children Talking: The Animation I see Toonami wants the audience to nope the fuck out as fast as possible
I figured the Hit vs Jiren fight would have interested people, but I guess not.
Jayden Scott
If you live in the Midwest that’s a weekly occurrence in the summer and spring months
Jace Reed
If Goku isn’t involved then casuals don’t care
Adam Myers
S2 and the first half of s3 have been ratings abyss, why would this be different?
Ayden Peterson
Yeah. I've just never had one this close. Woke me from a sound sleep.
Jacob Myers
>TPN ends June 29 So replacement reveal at Momocon for sure, right?
Lincoln Jackson
Or Gohan That Gohan episode a while back where he beat up the bear made it to like 900K too I think.
Jaxon Cooper
Why is Funi so petty?
Christian Perry
They have their own service now and don’t want to spilt it with Toonami, but they keep getting forced to by Japanese companies and old contracts
Josiah Peterson
Just noticed TPN beat SAO.
Caleb Martin
>tfw all you wanted to do was post with Yea Forums during United States of Smash >tfw you get range blocked a month before it happens Shit like this is why Yea Forums is dying
It looks like that yet again and continuing its multi-month streak, BC beats Jojo yet again, making it the 6th time this year and the 10th month in a row where BC beats Jojo in ratings at least once. Interestingly enough, it looks like we don't get as big as a demo boost this week compared to last week; one week is odd, two weeks is worrying, three weeks is a trend, as they used to say in retail.
I wish I could stay up to see HxH live as opposed to watching it after on the website, but it is what it is. Also, as a reminder, I've collected the eyecatches of the first four episodes so far and added them to an imgur album, which I'll post on Saturday or here in case I miss out for whatever reason.
Jordan Morales
I mean, it always has been so again, I don’t know what you were expecting. DB has some of the worst animation in the industry
Most HxH fans are hyper contrarians who only support the work because it's Togashi's insurance plan, what do you expect?
Aiden Brooks
Ratings are going down in Dragonball's case because Funimation got caught up in a legal battle against Vic over their poor handling of his sexual misconduct complaints. What's not helping is the lack of direction in the Tournament of Power. Jiren sounds like a Superhero when he's just Space Raoh, Goku is all over the place, and Sabat keeps using his Cell Saga Vegeta voice.
That said, Velmoud's black voice is an improvement.
William Scott
One Piece is a ratings killer. It's a complex money laundering scheme made by Toei devised to sell merchandise. One Piece's high points are too spread across the hundreds of episodes.
The manga itself went downhill after Mainford.
Lucas Peterson
>OPM is offensively bad visually >on top of that, every single episode feels rushed like any other JC show This is going to be hilarious to watch with TG when Toonami inevitably gets it next year
Grayson Walker
>6 hours past >thread already dead This block is doomed, isn’t it?
Michael Morales
Only 5 days until our 7th anniversary
Have we surpassed the original run in terms of longevity?
Andrew Roberts
Super into Hero: Lose 38.3% Oh no, it's ded Hero into Neverland: Lose 11.0% Neverland into SAO: Lose 8.0% SAO into Derpface: Lose 18.9% Jojo into Clover: GAIN 7.4% Clover into Boruto: Lose 23.7% Bort is kill Boruto into Naruto: GAIN 6.3% Daddy reins supreme Naruto into Hunter: GAIN 5.1%, not gonna lie, I'd vote for Leorio Hunter into Titan: Lose 12.1%
MHA was creeping closer to that loss record every week. Do we think it can break the gain record? Or is Pooper still close enough to FG to keep the gain under 40%?
Anthony Morgan
hmm what's a bigger number, 7, or 11?
dipshit
Benjamin Perry
What would not be shit, in your opinion?
Oliver Wilson
That’s about the minimum expectation. They will probably announce 2 upcoming shows.
Robert Brown
now that its going to the front, losses will probably cool off (except for the loss from FG), but the Super high will probably be much less than now
i bet the GAIN gets pretty close to the record. especially now that we're supposedly past the best part of MHA
James Sullivan
>2 Bold thinking. SAO ending is still a ways off
Aiden Green
Im not gonna spoonfeed you. It’s piss easy to find better shows than this Jump slop
Ryder Price
>but the Super high will probably be much less than now Imagine people still thinking this after last year proved that not being the case.
Justin Torres
People are not going to stop watching a show just because you keep pushing this narrative.
Jaxon Price
we'll see
Isaiah Torres
Pooper still had a big spike in the middle, but it was still lower overall than when they moved it out front.
It will be nice when this piece of cancer is off the block so we don’t have to tiptoe around it constantly
Jackson Cook
DeMarco is going to kill the ratings headstart with MHA being put in front of the lineup.
Nathan Hughes
I hate the Jojo dub because of the changed names, it's also a mediocre dub overall
Julian Hernandez
sorry replied to that post by accident
Joseph Phillips
Why did Jiren blast his own teammate off the ring?
I gotta agree with the name changes. It seems Viz can legally use the names, but it'll just be a nightmare of legal fees to attempt it. I hate watching the sub and having the sub say the bad name while they still say the real name. Still this is better than not getting any JoJo in english.
Jeremiah Hill
>Implying Hit was ever eliminated
Evan King
How many years do you guys think Toonami has left? will we outlast the original?
Ethan Hernandez
5 months
cap this
Dominic Butler
At this rate 1 or 2. AS is gonna get a big reality check later in the year when most of the long running shit ends and they actually have to put some time into the block again, which they clearly don’t want to do.
Outlasting the original would mean hitting year 11. We are at year 7 come this Saturday. AS itself would be lucky to make it to that point
Nathaniel Peterson
like a a year or two, dont see it lasting much longer then that.
Daniel Hughes
Well user if you don’t say anything specific I’ll just go ahead and judge your taste to be as shitty or shittier than DeMarco’s.
Wyatt Brown
Kinda but this is allegedly their only panel this year so they may announce a show to replace SAO or Titan since both end before September and there’s no SDCC Panel planned.
Henry Flores
Ok, Demarco. You dumb sack of shit
Anthony Richardson
Maybe, but there’s no telling if AoT and Lupin were them finally getting their shit together, or if they are gonna go back to announcing shows a week before they air
Camden Bell
Sodomy-ee!
Jack Rivera
>user suggests another user probably has shit taste >Second user is clearly DeMarco Kek
Ryan Phillips
Toonami had its chance at a long life after it had it's hours extended because of Family Guy's eventually departure and that blew up in its face. I'm gonna give it to the middle or end of next year.
John Lewis
That’s classic TG discussion. You would know that if you spent more time here, Demarco
Given that anons have been saying that Toonami has less then a year pretty much since it's come back and have so far been nowhere near to being right, I give it another 5 years at least.
Chase Campbell
what do you think the final lineup will be
Eli Flores
11:00 Dragon Ball Super 11:30 Boruto 12:00 Black Clover 12:30 Cowboy Bebop
Brandon Bell
It’s different this time. Only one show they have gets ratings, and that show is ending in 5 months with nothing to take its place. It’s gonna take a miracle to save the block with no tentpole, something that has always been present between Bleach, Kai and Super
Hunter Anderson
>Gonna hump dat
Brody Miller
Dragon Ball HD Dragon Ball Z Kai Dragon Ball Super Dragon Ball GT HD
Jack Price
First doesn’t even exist
Jeremiah Roberts
It will and Toonami is going to pay for it if they want to live.
Alexander Walker
It doesn't matter where Super goes, it never transfers any ratings to the shows around it. MHA will only stand to gain by being in front.
John Foster
Toonami already held on longer than I thought it would, so I have no idea. It doesn't seem sustainable but AS in general seems to have dialed back expectations for everything. Now that they're under new management could be Toonami gets the ax next year.
Colton Roberts
Toonami doesn't have enough money to pay for anything regarding dragon ball. They could not pay for even a tenth of what it would cost to remaster it.
Bentley Reed
Toonami hasn’t had its expectations dropped if the back to back cuts a few months ago are anything to go by. If anything, the block actually has a standard to meet now in comparison to fall last year where it was free reign to do terrible
Michael Jackson
Bruh do you know how much that would cost? Probably more than the entire network is worth, and even then they wouldn’t outright own it. And it would bomb too since casuals hate original DB
Jordan Hall
The name changes aren't that bad and the dub is a fun transliteration. You're just being whiny.
Justin Price
I think has it right. From a pure sticker price comparison, lots of short shows and few long shows are about the same. But the logistics of researching all those short shows constantly will tip the scales. There are no viable long runners left to fill the gaps. If nothing else, I can see Toonami being quite a bit shorter by the end of the year
Zachary Diaz
People still care about Toonami? Can't say I've tuned in to watch it since Samurai Jack season 5. Lineup doesn't even seem to have changed much since then.
I prefer the sub actor but I like D.C. Douglas as Kira a lot
James Lopez
It helps that the Election arc works better week to week so that you can chew on each ep instead of plowing through it in a marathon as an Ant arc afterthought. It could be both, since there is certainly something off about the Toonami viewerbase.
Brody Howard
Toonami viewers are actually retarded. Jojo never deserved to be on top of BC. People noticing Boruto's ratings now are turning a willful blind eye towards Jojo.
Jaxson Long
protip digital cable viewership for jojo is the highest on the block prove me wrong
Evan Robinson
Can't prove something wrong if it's a lie to begin with
Lincoln Mitchell
The burden of proof is on you user
Justin Watson
>prove this easily verifiable lie wrong ???
Adam Walker
This schedule looks like wet ass balls
Nolan Murphy
Toonami could stand to be shorter. Boruto and Shippuden could reside in the 2AM hour for years and Black Clover will probably keep going so that's 3 slots locked down. 5 rotating slots would be a lot to manage. Once they're out of sequels they'll have to get much more creative.
Sebastian Allen
Now imagine actually slogging through it. It’s torture, even the thread dialog doesn’t help much with shows this dull. If TPN isn’t replaced by something that knocks my socks off, I’m probably going to stop tuning in.
Christopher Reed
Then stop tuning in. There aren't that many independent titles out there anymore. This is 2019 now.
Jordan Ward
Its probably that new Ghost in the Shell anime done by that SAC director that we haven't heard shit about since it was announced.
* A note about HunterXHunter. Same day viewing ratings seem to count for shows that start at 3 AM, inflating the ratings by including DVR numbers. Despite this, One Piece never benefited from it, which seems to indicate that One Piece was a flop. Shippuden obviously benefited when it was in that slot and beat shows on a regular basis too. Still, I would think a big name show like Boruto could outdraw HunterXHunter's numbers anyway. Boruto's ratings collapse since its timeslot move is nothing short of inexplicable. As for HunterXHunter, the rating inflation is hard to determine how its doing. The constant moving of it down was more to do with Toonami's practice of "new acquisitions take priority over pre-existing long runners (except Dragonball)." It was a consistent million viewer hit before it was pushed behind Iron Blooded Orphans. The more stuff Toonami got, the further it got pushed. It definitely got a raw deal as it's ratings were great not counting the chimera ant arc slump. Because it's the only show on Toonami that won't get more seasons, it makes sense to deathslot it because the HunterXHunter well of episodes will run dry with no further seasons.
user, the CA arc is not York Shin. People have said that there are hype moments, not that the whole arc was hype. CA wouldn't even have been so bad if Togashi didn't come off hiatus as it was airing - the hope was to animate more beyond the Election arc, but then he went on break yet again, which makes me wonder why he doesn't just do a monthly?
By the end of summer, things are gonna look so different, it'll be crazy.
Benjamin Campbell
I remember people saying that last year and we still somehow ended up with a schedule that looked identical to prior years
Chase Roberts
>inexplicable Boruto is garbage that literally no one wanted on Toonami. Remember the reaction it got at its announcement? People were saying for months that it’s 11:30 ratings were fake ratings fluffed by Super and no one believed it
Evan Fisher
It did on par or worse than Pop Team Epic and yet its considered a flop, its premiere episode didn't even do too well iirc.
Adam Hughes
>You're just being whiny What a nice comeback man, did you work on the dub or something?
Luis Morgan
What company has the most shows on Toonami's history? Is it Funi or Bang Zoom?
Matthew Morgan
Probably Funi, they dominate the market
Logan Sanders
>and yet If it did worse than PTE than there is no argument that it’s a flop
Charles Anderson
Boruto is a support show. It does well if the show before it does well. We've seen what MHA can do, and it's worse than Boruto in retaining audiences.
Jeremiah Clark
i mean pte is considered one and boruto is kinda just considered average
Lincoln Bell
Clover does well and yet Boruto holds the biggest drop every week behind the Super drop. Boruto only does well if it’s behind something that’s already a massive pull, otherwise people actively avoid it
James Rodriguez
What does Clover have to do with anything? We're talking about retaining Super's audience.
>Boruto does well if the show before it does well >Clover is the show before it now and does well
Dylan King
He isn’t wrong, this is the first time in 7 years that we didn’t have a solid lead show lined up to start the night off right. They tried conditioning MHA and Bort for the roll but both failed at it
Gabriel Jenkins
>retaining It means continuing to have the something from before, not after. This something is ratings, or audience numbers.
Jordan Parker
>we didn’t have a solid lead show lined up to start the night off right. They tried conditioning MHA and Bort for the roll but both failed at it When will the fabled mighty mage step forward to take up the fight?
Jaxon Cooper
Which Boruto does not because it loses a huge piece of the BC audience
Jose Reed
I don't know what your point is because you just said the same thing I did. I'm willing to bet if MHA came after BC, it would suffer the same fate.
Toonami is like the DSP of television blocks, everytime it does something absolutely buttfucking retarded you think "there's no way he can crawl out of this one, this time it's the end, this time he's done for!" and then next month he's back at it airing the latest vietnamese basket weaving cartoons like nothing happened
Nathaniel Ramirez
I can't wait for more Leorio.
Christopher Green
What numbers have tha Kai reruns been getting?
Alexander Flores
300-350k, sometimes less
Parker Campbell
It’s surprising how much leeway failure it gets from Lazzo considering he detests the block. Maybe he just know they can’t afford to deal with 6-10 open slots on Saturday with their regular crap
Eli Fisher
Lazzo gives a lot of leeway considering he just canned ballmasterz and hot streets without batting an eye
Xavier Powell
>just canned ballmasterz
wrong again
Josiah Butler
Wonder why they keep it on.
Nicholas Wood
They already paid for it. They probably only bought one batch of episodes though. Will probably be pulled before Buu, maybe sooner
Juan Peterson
>They already paid for it >a SECOND time I totally forgot about that. What a stupid move.
honestly I would ask about the Primal [as] branding since it's the hot topic lately. I know they already gave an answer but maybe the panel atmosphere can give us new information.
Lincoln Gutierrez
So many things:
1. When will they move Black Clover in front of MHA? It has the numbers and the demo to be a strong contender when Super leaves. 2. What are the odds that we get Season 4 of MHA in a reasonable timeframe? 3. Why have they overlooked so many 12 episode shows that fit the block? Personally, I'm partial to Grimgar, but any 12 episode show would do. 4. Why did you guys go back on your word to not rely on DBZ only to turn around and rely on DBZ? 4a. Why did you spend money to rerun Kai a 2nd (3rd?) time? 4.
Henry Bennett
Ask either what their plan is for the fall when Super is out of episodes, or ask when they are going to deliver on their 2018 promise of diversity, and make sure to emphasize they have doubled down on long running shonen since then
Liam Martinez
Still below SAO. Shut the fuck up.
Adam Barnes
SAO airs earlier you moron
John White
Gohan, Piccolo, Frieza, Roshi,17 and 18 are the only ones who does who pretty much carry the tournament. Goku and Vegeta are dead weight and useless with their Waku Waku fight
Michael Taylor
Whatever it is, remember that Demarco is a master of wordplay and spinning your question. You get to ask one question, you don’t get any follow up. That means you need to make sure your question has all the facts attached to it. Be advised, after asking your question your mic is shut off, and if you ask something too redpilled, there is someone standing right next to you ready to escort you out. Let’s go over these suggestions.
Partly good. If you really want to press on Bort, mention that it got a pretty poor welcome at its announcement, and since they has not been much of a performer. Personally I’d just leave the issue alone and let Bort fail on its own as it already is. Shit Piece belongs in the trash where they put it.
NEVER ask about specific shows, they WILL NOT answer
They have pretty much already answered this. Primal is an AS problem now, let them deal with it
1. Mention that despite showing consistent growth, BC has remained low on the schedule, why? Other shows such as MHA have proven to be issues, yet get moved higher. Remember, normies hate BC so you won’t get much crowd support for this question. 2. NEVER ask about future pickups 3. Good, make sure you emphasize how badly they locked the block down 4. Too redpilled
First question is good, but you have to be absolutely certain your wording can’t be mistook as you asking for what’s replacing it. “Super is by far the biggest draw on Toonami, however it will end and leave the block in a few months. Will the performance standards for the block decrease when it ends?” See, that way you can subtly press them about it rerunning.
Second question needs a better frame too. Mention they promised 2019 would be the year Toonami diversifys it’s lineup, however we are at the halfway mark and the only pickup that could be seen as such is TPN. Read the room though, especially if they make show announcements that might fit
Noah Ross
You know what would also be good? If some user uses Periscope or some other livestreaming app to broadcast the panel. This way, we won't have to have 2nd hand accounts about how Boruto was poorly received.
Dominic White
Other questions I can think of
1. Earlier in the year AS and Crunchyroll announced a partnership. Does this mean that Toonami has access to air shows in the CR catalog? If so, when would we see some of those?
2. In total, there are between 7-10 slots on Toonami opening up before the end of the year. Do you feel that you have the means to keep those slots filled with premiere content as they are now?
3. As of tomorrow night, Toonami will celebrate it’s 7th anniversary of its revival with a lineup that is 100% premiere content. Do you expect this to last, or will it only be temporary?
Luke Rivera
I’m pretty sure this one will be on the preflight stream live, so that shouldn’t be an issue this time
Jordan Adams
How do you feel about something like “When pop team epic aired I was excited to see the block exploring different genres than just action shows. But since then we haven’t really gotten any shows outside of that genre. Are there any plans to acquisition more shows that are more comedic or less action focused or did pop team epic underperform and discourage you from prioritizing more off genre shows.”
Brayden Turner
That’s good, it emphasizes the significant difference of PTE in comparison to other shows, mentions they haven’t touched other genres since, and puts its ratings on the table as the potential problem. Should get by.
Though, do pay attention to their announcements in case they announce a show that’s out there for the block. If they do, I wouldn’t ask
Connor Morales
Please don't go on a 2 minute monologue about how much you like the block, what it means to you, ect.. and then ask about how they pick the music for the block or what they're favorite shows they've aired are..
Please don't ask for the block to be back on afternoon CN or if they are going to bring back old shows you can go stream...
If you're lucky enough to get picked, don't waste the opportunity.
Ryder Nelson
Even he doesn’t, the person ahead and behind him will
Andrew Bell
>2020 >the long runners are long gone, except for the orange ninja >all in-demand anime are tied up by streaming platforms >crunchyroll only gives toonami high guardian spice >out of budget, out of ratings, and with only viz to rely on, the block becomes 2 hours of naruto and 2 hours of blum streaming video games with gill >the ratings are better than now
Jace Morales
I’d unitonically watch a Tom and Sara let’s play channel
Sebastian Harris
Ask them why they lost the 4am hour despite saying just a month earlier that they wouldn't lose any more slots.
Jace Edwards
They won't kick someone out for asking why they brought back Kai, retard.
Jacob Ross
>Mob season 2 started getting dubbed at the beginning of the month I have high hopes that it may come soon, but I'm not holding my breath after how long it took to get the 1st season.
The dub should have premiered on Toonami. That’s what everyone expected with them airing S1 2 years late. Anyone who gives a fuck is already watching the dub right now
Ryan Hernandez
>a big name stream service partners with Toonami for some reason >literally nothing the gain for the partnership aside from using TOM as a second chance theatre for their shows >people act shocked when this is what happened
Adrian Mitchell
lol if you ever really thought they were getting rid of Z. Nostalgia is 99% of the reason this block exists and Z is nostalgia king.
Nolan Morris
It doesn’t pull ratings you retard. Everyone called that when they announced it
Julian Wilson
How much of boost to rating will Chad Clover get when it inevitably starts its elf arc?
i'm sure Bebop doesn't pull ratings anymore, it doesn't stop them from bringing it back on the reg, some shit's just immortal.
Hudson Nelson
is dude in the bottom right just Hisoka from HxH in a gimp suit?
Oliver Allen
He more reminds me of Gajeel from fairy tail.
Dylan Richardson
Because they own Bebop permanently. They bring it back all the time because it covers a slot for 6 months for no cost. Kai was a huge waste of money to relicense
Nolan Hill
Nah. It will keep dabbing on the shows before it, but it will maintain its modest numbers
Colton Cooper
Granblue on toonami when?
Bentley Evans
Would they even bother with OPM 2 when even casuals are complaining about how bad it looks?
Have you seen the shitty ass music videos Demarco airs weekly? He has no eye for quality, of course they are gonna air it. Plus they can’t afford to hurt their relationship with Viz
Charles Hall
No, they don't. They've had the license expire before.
>is thing from Black Clover from something else The answer is almost always yes.
Nicholas Wilson
It got better ratings than the rerun of Lupin.
Jordan Foster
>Why the fuck did we get TPN anyways? Because it was flavor of the season, just like how we get everyone else. Demarco will only air anime that's been on the block before, whatever's requested or if it's popular.
Plenty of Leorio in this week's ep. And in the movieswhich I hope Viz gives Toonami for dirt cheap since it would be a nice way to celebrate HxH ending its run, but that's a pipedream
Why did they not go through with the schedule made by the AS tech people? Jojo is the same as Boruto, shows that keep getting overtaken by shows behind them.
It's scheduling that will boost ratings, not a change in arc.
Henry Martinez
Fuck that, HxH movies are dogshit
Samuel Powell
>those goofy ass beetle phone things Anyone notice the anime just drops this shit at some point for regular non retarded smart phones?
Brayden Bennett
Much better than Hisoka. For one he doesn't lust after prepubescent boys and second, he doesn't asspull at all.
>ignore thing that was explained long ago >scream asspull when it comes up Aye aye, captain.
Logan Lewis
>O MY RUBBER NEN isn’t an asspull Yikearoonies
Jacob Ross
It's called a retcon my dear, short for retroactive continuity, to make an asspull more palatable. Nen not disappearing after death doesn't mean it should resurrect a person. After death, Nen should have moved on to another host if the original host cast it there. >Nen doesn't disappear after death. In some cases, it grows stronger. That's the only thing Togashi took note of, not the other statement about Nen moving onto another person.
Adrian Taylor
They're dogshit, which makes for great entertainment. That's in the manga too, since Togashi's hiatus made him have to make the jump to smartphones after the CA arc
Jeremiah Fisher
They aren’t even good entertainment either, that’s how trash they are
Charles Myers
So why aren’t Superfags into MHA? I thought MHA was one of the most casual friendly anime on the market right now.
Austin Martinez
I watched Phatom Rouge dubbed and it was decent, although the english voice actors carried most of it. The Last Mission, though, I doubt anything could salvage that one.
Because it's not Dragonball. Superfags aren't mainly made up of kids, they're made up of 20-30s who have no extra time to get invested in other shounen anime.
Colton Brown
That’s really more up to FUNimation offering it or anything that isn’t a sequel season.
Samuel Wilson
It seems to me that Toonami has a inherent problem when it comes to scheduling. Seriously can I ask who is even going to stay up past midnight and early in the morning to watch these shows? The majority of the presumed target demographic may be asleep by then and there are more convenient ways to catch these shows online. The way the schedule works seems to be cutting its potential viewers even if they are already existing fans.
Carson Ortiz
When Toonami finally dies again do you think it'll come back?
They tried primetime and it bombed. This is the only time that works
Colton Diaz
This. Contrary to popular belief, people who watch Toonami do actually have shit to do early on in the night on Saturday. Even this move to 10:30 will likely decrease ratings
Jose Nelson
This Week on Toonami: >Class 1-A moves up to Disney’s Family Guy’s 10:30 Slot >Gogeta revalues his asshole >Attack on Titan Season 3 begins in a Town >MASON TELL ME THE NUMBERS DAMN IT, FUCK! >Kittytoe the Pedo SwordMaster makes a truce with Alice from Wonderland >Shining D(ick) is Unbreakable >We have Undeafeated Lions >Boruto is Looking for a Gift for his Sister >Man >I can’t believe you put HxH on 3:00 and not Naruto: Shitcummed
>worth of laughs >worth of better backround noise sorry but its true. i dont remember the math but I think someone said that family guy repeats itself from season 1 like 3 times a year
its been what, 17-19 years of family guy?
cmon man. even im starting to watch syfy and CC's south park in the late hours
Eli Stewart
And it STILL pulls better ratings than any of the slop Toonami airs
Does this mean that AoT will get pushed back, as in, Funi will now be 5 episodes ahead as opposed to 4?
Gavin Lee
>doesn’t affect the simuldub Doesn’t mean a thing for us
Adam Perry
>sub will be delayed >sub Who cares?
Charles Phillips
>we know a leak is happening >we are going to delay the content to encourage more people to seek those leaks out Brilliant plan
Levi Wood
They don't care about the Western audience. They only care about the Japanese seeing it early.
Robert Gray
So for the people watching ahead, does AoT have any action or is it another slog?
Logan Baker
Current anime arc is a slog.
Julian Cook
Epic, can’t wait to be bored to death with an hour of AoT/TPN
Angel Foster
It's actually not as bad as a slog as the last three episodes of the first half of Season 3 were. It's kinda returned to how it was in Season 1, something happening each episode.
Jack Adams
>Fairy Gone It would be a ratings abyss and it's not very good anyways.
>funimation leaks aot hoping to fuck up the dub for toonami >japan nukes the sub instead
Loving Every Laugh
Mason James
>Naruto boat filler hell after Hunter, blows HxH out of the water despite being after it. >Naruto actual plot before Hunter, does worse than the show after it. I think I'm coming close to understanding this. You'll see me on the news.
>jack oh so EXXXTRA THICCCC from season 5 was a callback to this episode and not a meme from current times?
Logan Davis
PriPri is too intelligent for TG
Andrew Sullivan
you still see the beetle phones in recent episodes.
Nathan Johnson
anyone else kinda not interested in hxh? I mean it ends in like 2 episodes, right? its been on hiatus for like 9 years and madhouse has a thing about continuation
Ethan Young
It’s a shit ass series that it’s fanboys jerk off big league
Anthony Cruz
So what do we expect this week? 400k to start the night?
Ayden Martinez
wait wait wait
so gon became a hunter so he could find his dad he found all these clues like following a trail of breadcrumbs but his dad was a well known high ranking bureaucrat this whole time, and anybody who's been in the hunter association for a couple of years would know who he is and how to find him? really?
Austin Cruz
No. He holds a high position in the association, but he doesn’t give a fuck about it and does what he wants. Because of the severity of the current situation, he actually put forward a little effort and participated.
Aaron White
I was only interested in it briefly. And then the characters I cared about died.
So.. pirates got ahold of it, watched it and moved on with their lives.
And their plan is to punish the legit watchers?
Leo Richardson
Seems that pirates are getting it, putting it out for people to watch early, and legit watchers are assblasted they aren’t getting it first. So they are going to take it up the ass in protest
Ryder Rivera
why is all might's catchphrase translated to 'i am here' when a more accurate translation would be 'i came'
Noah King
You know why.
Easton Morris
The 2011 anime had a perfect ending to the series though, you pretty much pretend the series ended right there. End Togashi mentioned Gon's story is over by that point. Everything after that is pretty much a really long epilogue.
Carson Barnes
Because that's my line.
Sebastian Allen
Because that doesn’t sound very heroic, especially since it’s past tense. I am here is in the now
Camden Stewart
No mine. When I’m with your waifu
Hudson White
Can’t die yet
Jeremiah Lopez
We need to make it to Momocon.
Evan Barnes
Should've been on the block years ago.
David Rodriguez
AssClass
Brody Lopez
It wasn’t dubbed till a few months ago, gotta take what we can
So we are about 15 hours from the panel, how is Demarco going to let us down this time? The post they made did state they have announcements, so I’d assume we at minimum aren’t getting a nothingburger
Colton Price
arnt we losing another half hour soon?
i hate to say it but it might be getting a Sunsetting of Toonami announcement.
that or Keijo!
Jace Smith
We haven’t had any time cuts announced. We are getting shifted up 30 minutes this week, but that isn’t a loss or a gain. The assumption is we will move back to 11 start time fairly quickly though
Demarco would allow it so he can be cool with the anime kids.
Joshua Lopez
We're definitely going to get some information of The Forge. I wouldn't be surprised if the audience gets to see episode 1 early like they did with Countdown. If we're lucky, we'll also get a show announcement. If Demarco is keeping his word on diversity, then I'll go with Dragon Maid. If not, I'll go with Gridman.
Levi Baker
>the forge >an entire episode 4-5 months before it’s ready to air Have they ever had a TIE ready more than 1-2 weeks ahead of time?
Matthew Smith
Countdown
Jeremiah Harris
Demarco has confirmed they'll be announcing more than one show.
>November 16, 2024 Why the fuck are they even still showing Naruto? I totally thought the dub was already done, too, but it seems like they haven't even dubbed the Ninja War or anything. It's just clogging up the fucking schedule.
Lucas Russell
Id say best case scenario is one sequel and one fresh title. I’d be shocked if they reveal more than 2 considering the next slot isn’t till August.
Mob is inevitable so I’m guessing that’s one. Jojo and OPM are gonna be 2020, maybe late 2019 pickups at best
John Jackson
What if someone chucks in some sailor moon / shojo / shin-chan shit?
Joseph Martinez
Toonami isn't premiering the dub. It finished this year.
Gavin Bennett
Because it pulls ratings late in the night. The real question to ask is why they got Boruto when NO ONE asked for it. On top of that, it has a run length even longer than Naruto since it only started a year or two ago
Alexander Gonzalez
AS insider here, I know one of the shows is Osomatsu San. We are getting a little desperate over here because Viz is the only one we can reliably get shows from
Joshua Torres
Bullshit, AS just made a partnership with Crunchyroll, retard.
Jonathan Stewart
So where is our Mob S2 dub premiere? Or literally any CR show?
Jaxson Wilson
Alright boys, I’m wandering around Momocon right now, about 5 hours till the panel but I got my eyes up for leaks. Internet here is terrible
Jacob Hughes
good luck, post pics
Ayden Robinson
Do you think the madmen would actually replace HxH with something new? I’d assume it wouldn’t air at 3, so Nart and Bort would move down
Mason Hernandez
Nah, they don't have the budget to sustain 10 premieres. It's obviously been set up this way so they can go back to only having reruns after 3am.
Landon Baker
No. Iirc they said they aren’t making many con appearances this year, so they are just going to make this one count. Im expecting the TPN and the SAO replacement tonight. If they are feeling really bold, maybe they reveal what replaces AoT as well since it’s only 10 episodes
Carson Jackson
I can't wait for more shonen.
Joseph James
Time to place bets. List 3 shows you think will be announced tonight. Winners get to pride themselves on knowing how predictable the block is
Hey, I just realized now that My Hero Academia is the first it'll be getting the topical promos instead of Dragon Ball Super.
James Cruz
Lol wrong
Adrian James
>I’d be shocked if they reveal more than 2 considering the next slot isn’t till August. Promised Neverland is only 12 episodes, so we'll have a slot open at the start of July.
Gavin Martinez
I’m here. Honestly surprised how full it is since we still have 15 minutes to go. Also free shirt.
The only time Gundam Origin gets good is at the end when they finally get to the battle of Loum, otherwise its just the same old boring gundam politics.
Nolan Williams
>other show announcements later For fucks sake.
Ryan Flores
>TOM gets scrapped >SARA has to save him >Jet is the voice of the robot scrapper. >11/09/2019
Nicholas Gray
I kind of fucking love Steve
Adam Phillips
ALEX IS A LOSER
Luis Reyes
these fake out posts dont seem so bad now
>gundam zzzzzzz....... >fucking poopin the turd >thats it no more show announcements
It was supposed to be 4 announcements but 2 companies pussied out
Bentley Scott
>Mild Nudity Yeah don't get your hopes up, there really isnt any.
Caleb Hernandez
>because the companies pussies out. what
Nicholas Sullivan
I think they are split, plus they didn’t announce any extensions
Juan Nelson
The TV version is confirmed to be 13 episodes.
Angel Cox
Why does Toonami attract so many autists? All of these are terrible questions.
Christopher Diaz
>Uh, I actually don't have a question
Average Toonami watchers
Brandon Cruz
>I don't really have a question
Fuck off then
Charles Evans
>When are y'all getting your own network channel?
It's 2019 buddy
Logan Parker
Jeez we're already on the Q&A segment?
Dylan Wright
The people asking these questions are retards
Nathan Gutierrez
>When is Toonami getting it's own channel? Retard confirmed
Luis Reed
It makes sense, the show works as an entry point to Earth vs. Zeon politics.
That said, the Char wanking is going to kill ratings.
Andrew Kelly
>What? >I was just making a joke
This autism is terrible to watch
Alexander Mitchell
>What are the challenges of Toonami
GET READY FOR FAGGIT DAMAGE CONTROL
Adam Robinson
What a vague fucking question that can't even be fully answered.
Camden Gomez
Always tune out before the q&a, it’s mind numbing
Carson Jones
Here's a question DeMarco answers every fucking week
Isaiah Fisher
I almost stopped watching because of the Char wank, it was just to much at certain parts. Like goddamn I get he is a popular character in japan but he is just a goddamn gary stu in this series.
Colton Bailey
>13 episodes Admittedly, that’s better than 50 some IBO episodes or 26 Unicorn episode, but it’s still 13 weeks of torture
Logan Miller
>PTE didn't underperform
I hope one of these autists bring up ratings, and see how Faggitman dances around them
David Ward
First good question of the entire night.
Dylan Price
he said new season of jojo's ready, stone ocean confirmed
Joseph Hill
Toonami doesn't have the ratings to sustain it's own channel. It might work better as a stream.
Henry Reyes
Nobody wants politics. They want fucking giant robot battles
Jordan Anderson
>announcements we wanna do tonight fall into this non-action category
Are we being trolled?
Noah Rogers
That was obviously an Angry Kirby shirt. Emoji? Kool-Aid Man? Pink Kool-Aid Man? Seriously?
Also i count PTE as an action show. Most episodes had more action than most episodes of Gundam shows.
Nathan Nelson
Probably, because this Gundam falls into that category
Also is that the TGfag? It sounds exactly like his question
Oh are you the self hating black user in the general thread?
Joseph Morales
At least the ones in Origin aren't supposed to be contemporaries of the Gundam and Guncannon. Origin's Guncannon is dumb though, at least the anime one I've seen.
Christopher Bailey
Nobody wants to make a UC show about a bunch of Zeon Soldiers fighting against Feddies and for tight Earth pussy.
Ian Sullivan
which autistic nigger were you
Jonathan Powell
Why are the Zakus the only thing that looks good in Origin?
Dominic Baker
Bullshit, no way Viz dubbed it that fast
Isaac Wood
I want tou to know that I'm not a fan of black people but black anime fans are okay by me.
Jack Davis
>the politics in Gundam are boring
Imagine crying about Gundam having a point.
Jeremiah Perez
Because they needed them to look good so they can make and repackage the same Gunpla model over and over.
Jack Perry
I’m HG Drawfag
Jaxon Scott
The politics of Gundam are Spacenoids wanting to fuck up Earth so they can move back to the planet, or force other people onto space.
Dylan Robinson
I'm really trying to wrap my head around a thread of people who think they know what's good tv and can't get past "Wow, cool robot!"
Chase Davis
Oh didnt know you were black
Ayden Ward
>More Gundam
Meh
Luis Long
Doesnt matter what they think, Gundam Origin really isnt that good.
Isaac Bailey
Most people don’t. It’s not really something I talk about unless I’m asked.
Owen Ortiz
Were you and did you ask the diversity question?
Grayson Russell
Demarco can't wrap his head around the fact that only G Gundam and Wing are popular in the West, and that the West just doesn't care for UC at all.
Tyler Mitchell
We don’t want good tv. We want fun and engaging TV because this block airs too late for boring shit
Aaron Clark
Well you werent as autistic looking as I was expecting, if you were the guy I am thinking was you.
Camden Robinson
Yeah I asked about branching out. Demarco said he’s planning on it but because of how long it takes to get stuff he hasn’t been able to move forward with it. He also hinted one of the other new shows “might” qualify as a conedy
Landon Ross
>might Well that’s not Osomatsu I guess
Isaac Jones
Grey shirt/headphones
Dominic Lewis
the only UC show that ever got popular in the west was 08th MS team, which is one of the most overrated series of all time.
Aaron Fisher
What was the PTE question?
Parker Collins
I chalk it up to 08th MS Team being set in the UC, but devoid of literally Char and Zeon Wanking.
Sebastian Roberts
I basically just asked this verbatim
Dylan Hill
Asked if it underperformed because they haven’t got any other comedy shows since
Demarco said it didn’t and that maybe one of the upcoming shows could be considered non action but he is full of shit so whatever
Colton Lopez
There was only one announcement. Lupin was announced a couple weeks ago.
Leo Bailey
What are you, 11?
Landon Cruz
Serious question: how many of you are black?
Leo Cook
Sure was a lot of black people at that panel
Brody Taylor
She was actually pretty cute
John Barnes
I think a few weeks ago someone asked why would black people post in /tg/ of all places and he got like 20+ responses from black weebs
Just a real weird looking guy (who needs to lose some fucking weight)
David Perry
Anyone get The Forge clip? I missed it.
Josiah Lee
it's ok user I'm fat and have long hair too I just couldn't tell
Jack Hernandez
He isnt even that weird looking compared to other autists on this site.
Elijah Morgan
I don't trust that steven universe negro
Adrian Rodriguez
It's always weird seeing what ANY poster looks like. I never really have an image in my head of how you guys look. For instance, nobody would suspect that I look like Ted Bundy with man tits because I post like a sexy Adonis.
Hunter Sanders
Line for autographs was long enough for me to draw a picture.
Why is modern TV so boring? I find it embarrassing that a rerun of the Twilight Zone, Hitchcock, and everything else on METV is more engaging than all the garbage produced on Toonami.
Thomas Baker
They posted it on their Facebook page.
Carson Morgan
>METV Good taste, user.
Hudson Long
Toonami doesn’t produce shit. They find the least engaging dogshit that Japan rolls out and package it up with a big shitty bow and wonders why people don’t tune in
Chase Ward
Lads, I have been faithful to the block for 7 years but I just can’t do it anymore. It’s shit ass pickup after shit ass pickup and it never feels like it’s going to end. I’ll watch tomorrow’s block to quell my autism that would flare up if I left a week before the 7 year mark, but then I’m done.
I'm surprised there are still people like you left.I thought we had reached the point where anyone still watching will stay with Toonami until it's cancelled.
Brandon Green
>gundam >July 6th A-atleast that confirms no 4th marathon this year. That’s s-something, right?
I’ll admit I have been losing interest since last year, but seeing how much of the long stuff was ending this year gave me some hope that things might turn around. That obviously was a foolish ideal to hold on to, and now with my hopes and dreams crushed, I’m moving on. I doubt Toonami has much time left anyway with all these terrible decisions
Asher Stewart
>/toonami/ hates Gundam I mean I can understand considering most of this general's point of reference for the franchise is just Unicorn (A show that will make very little sense to someone with no knowledge of what came before it) and IBO (An admittedly flawed show with way more bad than good) and that most people ITT care more about muh ratings than show quality, but The Origin is pretty damn solid. From what's available of the TV recut so far has been pretty good as far as pacing goes although I know people here won't like that you're not going to see non-Guntank MS until the end of the third episode, and I imagine people here would be entertained by Yas's character designs in motion at the very least.
I'd love them to reair some of the older shows in the series like 0079 or Zeta or even 00 on Toonami , but I know it'll never happen because Pre-2010-era shows that aren't DBZ are ratings killers. The Origin is a quality OVA, don't hate it just because the last two shows you got were bad for the block.
Aired next to DBZ at its peak and gained popularity by proximity
Nathan Jackson
What the fuck did Demarco do between the end of og Toonami and the revival? Was he behind adult swim anime?
Ayden Ortiz
Toonami isn’t his job, it’s just a paid side project. He is the driving force behind a lot of god awful music, that’s what his job has been for decades
Brody Stewart
I noticed a lot of new shows this Friday aren't new because memorial day weekend. Wonder why Toonami didn't marathon. Glad though.
Lucas Morales
Because of AoT having a mandatory premiere date. Funimation is not tolerating delays this time around. By the look of things, there is no 4th or July marathon either if Shitdum is airing on the 6th
Noah Allen
Is that really it?
Austin Thompson
No she was annoying.
Connor Mitchell
WATASHI GA KITA 私が来た
Jordan Morales
Same because I missed it unless you can rewatch it on the site.
Josiah Kelly
>a ringtone that repeats "I CAME! I CAME! I CAME!" over and over again IMAGINE
Tyler Murphy
Ever wonder why people keep popping up defending DeMarco's shit rap?
Cameron James
But they don’t. I literally have never seen a single post here support his music videos. Worse yet, even the fagbook page was almost completely against that shitty one a few weeks ago with the anime girl in it
Bentley Garcia
So I was reading through the thread, came across the momocon shit I missed, and thought I missed out on big pickups. Fucking damn it, Gundam and a reannouncement, really? I'll hold out for those 2 unknown pickups which Demarco totally isn't lying about the companies "pussing out" for him announcing.
There was arguing over people not liking one of the rap songs one week that turned into general rap hate/praise fighting.
Andrew Reed
Why would the companies pussy out though?
Dominic Sullivan
It's that same shit he always says about why announcements are usually right on the heels of their release.
Jonathan Hernandez
There really isn’t any logical reason. It seems like it is just a generic filler excuse whenever they don’t have their shit together
Owen Brooks
What could they possibly announce that would redeem this shit tier Gundam they are gonna make us slog though for 13 weeks?
Luke Richardson
I dunno, it's more of a case by case personal thing at this point. If they announce something I like then it might reinterest me. I'm really fucking fading out though, whenever it's saturday I just feel dread because its a commitment to spend the entire night watching shows I don't really care 100% about.
Kevin Scott
>the year they finally phase out the stupid ass marathons is the same year the block has gotten so shitty I actually wish they were there so I can take a night off Gets shows done quicker, but that just means we start new trash faster
Adrian King
Yea, I was going to mention that too, its nice to get a night off.
Brody Phillips
Did 4chanX just stop working for everybody else too? Like the servers did connection error shit but now 4chanX doesnt work at all and I have to disable it just to post.
Cooper Butler
Nope still works for me. You on Firefox?
Carter Walker
Chrome, and when I have Yea Forums X off the stuff like page, IP numbers, and post numbers are missing, I can only reply to the thread by clicking reply at the very top of the page, and everything is fucking broken out of nowhere.
Using 4chanX I just get connection errors while trying to post or update threads, catalog is broke and the page number in a thread is a ?
Everything was fine until a minute ago when I think Yea Forums crashed.
Jeremiah Gray
Seriously what the fuck I don't want to use Firefox and no 4chanX
Samuel Green
Might be your anti-virus and other security sorftware or adblocker as those too can also fuck with scripts sometimes. Might also be where you got 4chanX from since there's a lot of forks of it from different people over the years.
Levi Hernandez
Everything was fine until a minute ago, then it just fucked up entirely. Nothing changed.
Luis Campbell
and it was from the chrome store
William Clark
Alright fuck me, removing it and reinstalling it worked the 4th time I did it. Fuck me, goodnight /tg/
Isaac Cook
oh shit we made it the whole 500 posts without a jannie sperging out?
Aaron Bell
The Momocon wait helped
James Lewis
One could be Mob season 2, but Crunchyroll and/or Funimation are blocking them from saying anything until they finish running the dub online.
Connor Powell
We have been safe from that for a few weeks, threads have just fallen off naturally instead. Only reason people kept it bumped this week because of the panel
Christopher Reed
>More UCshit that doesn't even appeal to the Gundamfags it's targeting >Show we already knew about >More "mystery announcements" that will most likely be equally disappointing
Sometimes I seriously have to wonder why I keep coming back...
For me its because of the general. I like the threads and liveposting. I don't really like most of the lineup yet aside from the reruns like Titan I stay the entire time.
It's really straining me though but I have yet to skip a night, though I have passed out once or twice at the beginning from being too tired that night.
Nathaniel Howard
>watching law and order reruns >the very last episode >anonymous blogger makes pipe bombs, stockpiles rifles, threatens to blow up a high school in NYC >his alias: moot
hmm
Brandon Mitchell
>moot Who?
Bentley Flores
Even the General is starting to die off because all these pickups are so appallingly bad
Easton Ross
But did he blow a van up?
Nathaniel Flores
Yes but who is this FOOWARCHAN?
Colton Campbell
It's starting to die off because we hit the bump limit 2 1/2 hours ago and the thread is on page 9 getting ready to fall off.
Grayson Foster
>>watching law and order reruns I was visiting my dad recently and it was on, I guess SVU, and they literally talked about the chad meme, and used incel. It made me cringe, not memeing, it fucking hurt to hear people use that shit. What a fucking shitshow.
Luis Garcia
their episode on gamers was worse
Cooper Young
That’s not what I meant stupid. Discourse quality here was never high, but it did used to be fun and engaging at least. Now it’s all just stragglers wishing it was dead because these shows blow ass. The only time I see people have any fun is during Clover of all things
Xavier Smith
Sounds likely. I fucking hate reading about this shit so hearing people say it is just the fucking worst. It's so obnoxious.
Easton Morgan
Glad I’m not the only that happens to. Some meme phrases that are repeated here over and over are simply not intended to ever be spoken.
What happens in it? Didn’t they have a REEEE BLUMPF episode too?
What would YOU put on the block then, dumbass doomsayer?
Evan Anderson
Yea that guy at the start talking about campers and noobs is the same guy who talked about the chad and stacies and incels in the episode I heard. The guy in the case started fucking sperging about chads too, it was just a trainwreck.
