Just a reminder, I know everyone is hype as fuck for Jack and excited to see how it does, but do NOT make ratings threads without the full Toonami ratings. We don't need early partial number threads. It's not going to kill anyone to wait an extra hour or two to panic/celebrate about Jack.
The NEW 10 episode season of Samurai Jack begins this Saturday at 11pm. Just 4 more days now lads, full throttle hype.
Sand Whale and Me starts March 18th at 12am. Each episode is a 5 minute short so it's just being squeezed in, nothing else changes.
Adult Swim is funding two new 6 episode seasons of FLCL. Expected release 2018.
Last weeks ratings actually managed to turn around and not be awful for the first time in a few months. This week was more of the same with another pretty OK week, until One Piece where there is a gigantic drop in viewers.

The gap between Naruto and One Piece is puzzling, I always assumed they had high crossover since those two and Bleach were the face of Shonen Jump in america for the past ~15 years.
Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach fans all hate each other.
Liam Allen
One Piece is viewed as kiddie by western Naruto fans. Premiering with a 4kids dub didn't help

Jojo has honestly been pretty boring. The only people I see having "fun" are the ones who already watched it and spew memes all night. Everyone else is just kind of taking it as it goes. None of the "epic" moments warrant much reaction
Kevin Peterson
What's the matter Sup Forums? Can't get your friends to watch JoJo?
I thought I had my Dragon Ball killer after you all started bitching about the lack of JoJo, but I guess I'm wrong.
At least Mob Psycho 100 is more loyal than your memebase.
Kayden Flores
Where is toonami right now? Still a while yet I assume.
Christian Cook
Of course you hate any anime that doesnt pander to you fetish of scantily clad anime girls.
Michael Russell
I like Jojo, but:
>scantily clad anime girls >fetish How is that remotely a fetish?
It's like saying you have an attractive women fetish.
Eli Diaz
Its a fetish because theyre not real women.
Logan Cook
There are plenty of "real women' that are fetishes however.
Being real or not doesn't qualify.
Colton Garcia
Being attracted exclusivley to a certain kind of woman is popularly seen as a fetish.
Cooper Wilson
did someone say mob psycho 100
the dub finished airing on funimation's website so i guess it's possible for it to come to toonami again
Daniel Wilson
'attractive' could be seen as a fetish.
But no, that's not actually the definition of what's a fetish.
A fetish is something, typically non sexual but not always, that you _need_ to have to have an orgasm.
Kind of splitting hairs, but, there's such a thing as a "kink" as well.
Also, being attracted only to 2D and not 3dpd isn't a fetish. It's common sense.
Elijah Garcia
Youre obviously being ironic now.
Owen Turner
Only slightly. 3DPD is a mental disorder.

Yes, it was marketed as a conclusion the second it was announced. It's more insurance for AS, if it bombs, no biggie it's over and no one can bitch. If it does amazing, it's over, no one can bitch for more seasons

Then One Piece comes along >Y7 dub >censorship everywhere >even the with the Funi dub OP is still goofy and lighthearted most of the time so this was really magnified with 4kids in charge >those aging kids who want away from exactly what OP is doing hate it and flock to Naruto
But please, since you know so much explain to the rest of us why OP dumps a ton of viewers each week

my town was weird

Sound argument there Jojobrony

Here's to another lousy thread.
Evan Reed
Why is this phrased like its our problem? If people aren't watching Jojo it's up to Demarco to make the call on not putting P3 on
Ethan Wilson
Good grief.
Jeremiah Robinson
J-Jut wait for the p-part with the S-S-Stands!
Dominic King
And if it does do amazing, it opens the door for other ambitious projects.
Robert Wright
Fuck, I'm beginning to think not even Stands will save JoJo. Like other anons have said, the series is too gay for casuals to come around to.
I've also come to realize that the only people who spout Stand memes are autists. No normies/casuals doing it.

>But please, since you know so much explain to the rest of us why OP dumps a ton of viewers each week I was one of those kids who hated OP and love Naruto simply because Naruto was cool ninja shit and OP is goofy "pirate" antics (especially at the beginning). OP didnt get good until Luffy's final fight with crocodile in alabasta. Naruto Part 1 was pretty solid good stuff.
Jonathan Wood
nice. but yeah im also tempted to see the gits movie.
Jayden Harris

I don't watch this shit. Is toonami doing that bad to where only 1 show isn't flopping?

Don't listen to shitposters.

*sigh* tg. what do we do now?
sam jack season 2 can not come any sooner.
Jace Bailey
The last episode made Mike Lazzo really uncomfortable if that means anything.
Brody Torres
>OP didnt get good until Luffy's final fight with crocodile in alabasta. And that was the last time it was good.
Evan Morales
Hypothetically. All western options are written off. So either they roll the dice on a brand new western action project, or they do what they did for Big O and GitS and fund some new seasons of anime that didn't get finished
Christopher Scott
If it does amazing then Genndy won't have to be Adam Sandler's bitch to keep getting work and will get control over his own project(s)

Justin Sanders
Genndy is the director of the Hotel Transylvania movies. Adam Sandler voices Dracula.
Though it's more Genndy being Sony's bitch. They made him do these movies with a Samurai Jack movie as the carrot on a stick. Then after Genndy completed his end of the bargain, the executives tried to tell him how he should do a movie and Genndy left.
Just imagine folks. Samurai Jack movie with the meddling of Sony executives.
Tyler Moore
So what other TTGo voices will we here in Jack? Raven is already confirmed
Levi Roberts
WHEN I SAY FRIDAY
Nicholas Gray
Probably Kevin Michael Richardson (Trigon). He's voiced loads of characters in past Jack seasons (the blue guy who helped give Jack his name. The Guardian, the DJ).
That should be it though. Jack doesn't have that many voice actors and they voice multiple characters
Jonathan Bailey
Dang I thought everyone liked Jojo. Maybe it's too weird.
Gabriel Bailey
Genndy didn't direct 2 regardless of what you thought, he may have been on at the start, but after Sony cancelled Popeye, he pretty much just gave up on Sony.
Kevin Brooks
>Dang I thought everyone liked Jojo. You got fooled by the memers.
Bentley Moore
> Genndy didn't direct 2
Then who did? It still looks and feels like the first one, regardless of whether or not the writing was poorer.
James Sanders
It's too gay. We got a bump in ratings thanks to Lisa Lisa's butt, but once people realize that's it for female fanservice (or hot females in general) Jojo will go back to being a ratings blackhole.
Levi Butler
Adam Sandler
Brandon Anderson
He might be credited but apparently Sandler stuck his dick even further into the project so it could literally be his name was stuck on it to help sell it.
Aaron Gray
where's the gaynes in this anime? are anime fans this shallow?
am i on Sup Forums right now?
Ethan Watson
>Scantily clad fit men dramatically posing every episode. >barely any women. >"where's the gayness".
Come on user. And it doesn't matter what you call them. Normies aren't buying into the Jojo meme.
Christian Parker
Not defending JoJo, but wasn't DBZ just a bunch of shirtless men with bulging muscles screaming?
Camden Jackson
I mean it's homoerotic, but not gay. Like there's no BL relationships.
If you count DIO and that priest.
Angel Miller
If DeMarco actually goes for broke and gives Stardust Crusaders are chance despite the abysmal ratings of the previous parts and it bombs as well, JoJo is as good as done on Toonami.
Jackson Brooks
DBZ has alot less posing, less scantily clad men, and shirtless moments comes from clothing damage. DBZ also has more women show up regularly.
David Robinson
yeah but they jack off to bulma, chi chi and videll.
its just that jojo doesnt have any waifubait, thats why they dont like it
Andrew Barnes
SC would be bombing for a year straight then, it would take Toonami down with it.
Nah, in all seriousness, that was an incredibly stupid thing to spout out on twitter. But of course, blonds acting like assholes=Trump apparently.
Jacob Lopez
You forget that DBZ was aired 5 times a week so we'd get through to Namek just to start all over again within a month or so.
Josiah Hill
what? Samurai jack season 2 has been out for many many years
Kayden Green
>Jojo ratings are typically in the 900 to 800 >"DUDE RATINGS FAILURE LMAO"
As far as ratings go, that isn't EXTREMELY HORRID like everyone is making it out to be. You all act like this is getting Home Movie ratings, which were realistically just mediocre instead of a program block killer. Yeah, the drop isn't great and JoJo fans were expecting and boasting about JoJo getting DBZ-tier ratings but at best the ratings are decent to mediocre but not a complete failure
do half you people even watch toonami or are you shitposters who just come here to shitpost about the ratings since /toonami general/ is easy to meme on
Isaiah Gomez
It's shitposters. It's the same faggots who complain about not being able to follow a show that literally walks you through each and every plot point at the start of the episode and ignore conversations so they can bitch about being lost. Unicorn isn't even hard to follow, it's just extremely boring when a grunt fight doesn't happen.
Benjamin Clark
Even though each series was considered "the big three" in the west, the audience for them differed when it came for each other taste-wise. Naruto fans only liked Naruto and thought One Piece was kiddie and Bleach was too stupid. Bleach fans only liked Bleach and thought One Piece was kiddie and Naruto was kiddie AND stupid. One Piece fans only liked One Piece and thought Naruto and Bleach were inferior.
Juan Morales
I was really into manga when Naruto and OP first started coming out over on this side of the Pacific. Each month I would pick up the latest Shonen Jump for another fix of what, 3 chapters? back then. OP seemed too childish to me, Naruto seemed pretty cool going through the Zabuza arc, my favorites were Yu Yu Hakusho and Shaman King while the Yugioh manga completely ruined the show for me. Naruto is still a big nostalgia thing for me.
I never really gave OP a chance back then, reading it only because it was included each month. I started reading it recently and love it, but I am not the same person I was when I was 14. A lot of my interests have changed since then, and I'm a lot more willing to accept the goofiness while reading OP now than I was back then.
I could not imagine that version of me watching Sentai like I do. Some Riders sure, though he'd probably write off Fourze while it is one of my favorites, but not Sentai.
Jackson Ortiz
Another slot was sacrificed for a long runner that was hyped to roll in ratings like Dragon Ball and it barely scratched the surface of what was promised. Now the slot is wasted for something that would have been food.
Isaac Martinez
you guys kinda do the same thing here on Sup Forums.
blondes acting like assholes = aryans.
also i see no point in actively seeking and keeping track of such comments, if youre not an autist.
Owen Jackson
Multiple faggots begged for Jojo, so don't even pretend that it wasn't what a good few wanted themselves. Just because you don't like the anime doesn't mean others do. Also you do realize they try to get shit that's popular at the time and it bites them in the ass hard, like AgK had terrible rerun ratings and same with AoT. Hell AoT caused rating dips because they put it at the start of the block since the fucks would just stop watching once they got what they wanted.
Dylan Flores
Oh. its been awhile since i watched it. I thought it was one long single season.
Noah Young
>Multiple faggots begged for Jojo I know, they were a big part of the problem.
"Dude, Jojo will save Toonami!" "Normalfags love JoJo!" "DIOOOOOOOOOOO!" "This must be the work of an enemy stand!"
Now look where we are.
Owen Butler
>typically 900-800 Outright lie
It's like you are being stupid on purpose. "900-800" as you put it isn't a measure of success. It's gigantic loss from Kai every week for the past 2 months that is the problem. If Kai pulls 1mil and Jojo pulls 770k, that is still a good night. The issue is Kai pulls 1.2mil and Jojo pulls 770k right after. That is the definition of horrid ratings
But if it makes you feel better, this and last week were actually good, so your gentle jojobrony feelings don't have to feel too hurt
Lucas Collins
AgK never reran you moron. If you are gonna deflect Jojo failures onto other shows at least try
Ryan Wilson

Jace Moore
>Sup Forums rejects that come here every week spammed Jojo memes that usually get them banned on Sup Forums >lmao see TG totally wanted Jojo
If more than a loud minority actually wanted Jojo it wouldn't be in the situation it's in in the first place
