December 31st will be a rerun marathon of DBZ Kai.
Dragonball Super will premiere at 8pm starting January 7th. That new weekly episode will then rerun the same night on Toonami at 11:30pm. Toonami expands 30 minutes to accommodate this.
DBZ Kai Buu saga will premiere at midnight starting January 7th.
Gundam Unicorn RE:0096 will replace IBO January 7th at 1am. This means without some unexpected schedule change, Toonami will not see anything new until June at the earliest.
GiTS SAC will replace OPM on February 4th. Just what we need, another rerun that has aired a million times.
A new season of Samurai Jack is being made for Adult Swim Toonami. 10 episodes in length, TV14 minimum, set to premier 2017.
Adult Swim is funding two new 6 episode seasons of FLCL. Expected release is late 2017/early 2018.
A marathon of the most boring part of Jojo on Christmas pulled terrible ratings, what a shocker. Personally I expected lower. Only 2 episodes made the top 100 chart, a new record low for Toonami. That short did ok, the first time at least.
You gotta wonder, Toonami goes to shit on a holiday understandably, but Family Guy does as good as ever

>GiTS rerun I welcome this, its been so fucking long since I seen this series and I was just fapping to the major for a few days now.
>8:00 King of the Hill (r) 0.35 623 0.25 >8:30 King of the Hill (r) 0.36 593 0.26 Let's be honest, these aren't even that abnormal ratings. Nothing ever seems to do well in Adult Swim's first hour on Saturday. Kai, KoTH, One Piece, Sit Down Shut Up, Home Movies, Aqua Teen, The Oblongs, etc. etc. all did poorly.
Luke Bennett
Are they just adding GiTS cause of the movie?
Asher Flores
Kek at the op picture. The ratings look exactly as people predicted, even the generals threads were boring
Luis Reyes
I wanted to quote you saying that I also belive that they want to ride on the movie hype and get some viewers
Matthew Jones
This, it starts airing a few days after the movie's released so that's probably what they're going for.
Isaiah Barnes
Dragon Ball Super will save adult swim Saturdays
Ayden Diaz
Between DBS, Jack and potentially FLCL 2 I'm really hoping we see some good ratings for 2017.
Jordan Jackson
I can see that happening, they are airing so many commercials for it. i haven't seen super, but I have to admit it has gotten me hyped.
Leo Rodriguez
But the movie's going to suck, what if that makes people hate the series.
And is it really coming out in February, that soon?
Isaac Clark
>DBZ Kai Buu saga
The Buu Saga had little to no filler. What's the point of giving it the Kai treatment?
Austin Turner
What about Debbie Reynolds? She's singin' in heaven now.
Carter Turner
To do the whole show instead of leaving it unfinished.
Juan Brooks
>DB one of the most popular and profitable anime franchises of all time >wonder why they would bother to complete the series >especially when it requires almost no real work on Toei's part to "recut" the Buu saga
Luke Watson

Connor Garcia

Brody Clark
It has been only 1 trailer for the movie, right? If so, the movie is going to suck ass.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is the worst marathon rating we've ever had. Even Beware the Batman did better. Granted, this was Christmas Eve, but surely DeMarco would've had better viewership numbers if he had done a movie right?
Carter Rivera
Kai did great there in comparison to everything else. Super being a premiere there will probably do even better. Don't know what that means for the Toonami airing though
Josiah Russell
>New Years festivities or Toonami
Gee I wonder
Nathaniel White
No it wouldn't have. Both last and this week are complete throwaway nights. Personally I'd be pissed if Demarco aired a movie on the one night myself and many others missed Toonami, not because of the marathon but because we were celebrating the holiday.
If he wants to give a movie another chance do it on one of the questionable marathon nights like Memorial or Labor day
Robert Flores
More than likely, their recent rerun option was IBO and we know they don't wanna do that. So they sift through their permanent rights, and figure GiTS to go with the GiTS movie. I'd like to know if they are actually airing the whole thing or just half like they did last time.
Whatever they do I expect that slot to really be in the shitter ratings wise, GiTS really did poorly the last time it aired. Blame the time if you want but that still and indicator people weren't interested
Ryan Cooper
What if it was a movie everybody had seen before though, like Evangelion 3.33 or Spirited Away?
Ethan Gutierrez
Anything new to Toonami would be upsetting. Do you know how many people want Toonami to air 3.33? That would be a disaster putting it on Christmas.
Look, I hate marathons as much as the next guy, but these two have been the most justified since the 4th of July one in 2015. No one here or at AS cares about the ratings being shit these nights, because it's an expectation
Samuel Sanchez
Anything that people have to pay attention to seems to not do well. GitS, Parasyte, and even Dimension W. Mediocre as it was, I saw people even in these threads complaining they had no idea what was going on, even though the plot was pretty straight forward. It made me realize that even as people make fun of battle shounens like One Piece and Naruto for constantly flashing back to stuff that happened 5 minutes ago and reusing the same scenes in 3 or 4 episodes, it seems some people legitimately can't follow a story unless their hands are held like this.
Joshua Ross
>Dimension W
That pulled stellar ratings though. And let's be honest, halfway through it becomes an anime only clusterfuck, it's understandable not to follow completely
Noah Clark
>That pulled stellar ratings though Stellar is not the word I'd use. Adequate more like. I think on average it's actually better than Jojo so far, which is something.
Wyatt Evans
>Evangelion 3.33 That would be a premiere that, if they did get it, would be best saved for a weekend like Memorial Day where more people are likely to see it.
>Spirited Away The airing rights to Studio Ghibli films cost way way way WAY too much to ever air. Literally the only reason Month of Miyazaki was even a thing was because TCM had temporarily acquired the Studio Ghibli library for a month and were doing their own Ghibli Month at the same time.
Jayden Jackson
Anime is cancer
Benjamin Mitchell
1.2-1.3 mil every week is pretty stellar compared to IBO and Jojo. OPM is the only thing this year that outdid it
Aaron Adams
>what if Toonami spent all of this years and the 2018 budget to air a Ghibli film on one of the lowest turnout nights of the year
Do you even have a functioning brain?
Asher Myers
Most people just watch Family Guy because it's just part of their routine, not because they genuinely enjoy it.
Oliver Robinson
Of course it's going to suck, we all know that. What I'm concerned about is the shittiness of the movie giving people a negative outlook on the franchise in general; people who haven't watched/read it, and then disinclining them from doing so.
Blake Torres
I was here on Christmas and even I won't be here on New Years. I can't remember the last time I missed a night of Toonami.
Also I just noticed, no more (You)s. What am I going to collect now?
Jacob Jones
So how many weeks until normies drop Super after realizing it's nowhere near as serious as DBZ?
Joshua Ortiz
OH MY GOD THIS BOARD IS SHIT
THIS BLOCK IS SHIT
EVERYTHING IS SHIT SHIT SHIT
Cameron Morgan

Asher Nguyen
1, when it premieres and everyone notices it's not as action-packed as the promos make it out to be.
Isaac Barnes
Little to no filler? What about the Otherworld Tournament? Or non-Super Saiyan Vegito fighting Buuhan? Or some of the school stuff with Gohan?
Camden Perez
No argument here
David Fisher
Gross, no.
Brody Parker

i think this guy is right for once.

TOO BAD, IT'S WHAT YOU'RE GETTING
Aiden Gonzalez
just install 4chanX
Ryder Johnson
I probably will. I had it installed on my old computer, which was a toaster, and it slowed it down so I disabled it and I didn't think about installing it on this computer until now.
Christopher Collins
Sweet Christ, these numbers are terrible. Maybe he should've switched the marathons around and did DBZ first and then Jojo?
Anyway, how was 2016 for you guys?
William Martin
no, you are not forced to be with family during new years, like in christmas, and to be honest, it didn't matter what show aired, it would've still done poorly. and checked
Daniel Thomas
Missed Scavengers, but tuned in for most of the JoJo marathon. Even got a few family members to watch an episode, but then we muted the tv and talked till like 3 in the morning.
Christopher Cox
show the numbers for the shitty One Punch Meme marathon
James Parker
nth for Major booty
Brandon Bailey
Super didn't start getting popular in the west until the movie arcs ended.
Juan Hernandez

Angel Edwards
Toonami threads gonna be hype when the Goku Black arc starts.
Daniel Morales
Yaoi on Ice on toonami when?
Christopher Cox
CQC Bro yaoi soon
Brody Clark
(You)'re why.
Jason Powell
You vastly over estimate the kind of mouth breathing shitheads who still consider DBZ the best anime ever.
Camden Robinson
>1.2-1.3 mil every week is pretty stellar I agree that is stellar, too bad Dimension W didn't pull anywhere near that.
Slight thread drift: want to get the OG Dragon Ball on DVD and was wondering, should I get the original DVD box sets that have 13-18 episodes and broken down by plot arcs and omit the first 13 episodes due to rights issues, or the later box sets that collect the entire series in five box sets containing around 25-30 episodes each and include the first 13 episodes?
Landon Fisher
>29 weeks of idiots marking out to stupid twist after stupid twist
It's going to be Sup Forums all over again.
Carter Carter
Who doesn't like Goku Black?
Mason Baker
>or the later box sets that collect the entire series in five box sets containing around 25-30 episodes each and include the first 13 episodes?
This one of course.
Nathaniel Jenkins
IIRC the original smaller scale sets are full screen and uncut whereas the larger five volume set have been edited in terms of the tops and bottoms of the episodes being lopped off so they can be converted to widescreen format.
Aaron Sanders
I thought Month of Miyazaki happened for a few years, I must be misremembering hard if it only happened once.

Carter Rogers
There's a lot of filler stuff before and after the saga proper, alongside stuff like the aventures inside Super Buu.
It's still pointless though since Buu Saga Kai leaves a lot of filler stuff that happened during the series itself, like the villains watching the final battle from hell.
Cameron Murphy
not yet
Brandon Ramirez
Will Joseph save JoJo from poor ratings?
Liam Young
maybe
Nicholas Martinez
Hopefully
Jose Reyes
>A marathon of the most boring part of Jojo And OP continues to show their shit taste.
Lincoln Sanders
> villains watching the battle from hell
I don't understand why this series has such a warped plot device with Hell.
Angel Reyes
HE'S STILL DOING IT, LADS!
Owen Sanchez
I'm not entirely sure, but isn't the only canon depiction of hell in the series Frieza's cacoon in the field of flowers where the fairies and toys have parades every day?
Blake Roberts
This block is suck
Jaxson Price
Well, the important game now isn't so much "can this arc itself gain viewers", but rather "can this arc keep audience retention as high as possible". If Battle Tendency can help keep most of the viewers coming in for the Dragon Ball hour around, it should be good.
Bentley Ramirez
>holding viewers from the boosted performance of Kai dub premiere
Seems like an uphill battle
Matthew Edwards
That's really stupid. If you told me ten years ago that Dragonball would have a stereotypical "fluffy bunnies and cute things make someone uncomfortable" scene, I wouldn't believe you.
Elijah Miller
And by doing so you show the rest of us you are one of many retards who only watched DBZ and think this is a serious anime for adults and not a children's comedy with action. Super will really rub you wrong way
Owen Butler
Show me a scene in Dragonball that was like that, I have all the volumes to corroborate. Toriyama had a pretty consistent look and none of it looked like that.
Evan Mitchell
>cacoon
Zachary Allen
Show you a scene in Dragonball that was a wacky comedy scene? Watch any episode
Levi Wright
well how else would you punish frieza without the obviousness of pain and torture
