Outlaw Star will replace GitS at 2:30am on August 17th.
Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans S2 will replace Tokyo Ghoul in October.
Adult Swim is funding two new 6 episode seasons of FLCL. Set for 2018.
Last week, the schedule moved up and Jojo started, which actually made the ratings worse. This week, Jojo managed to find a few extra viewers, but still is doing terrible for midnight. Tokyo Ghoul seems to be benefiting from an early slot however, and has done significantly better than it has in months. Everything else did as bad as last week. GitS actually lost to AoT which is a little embarrassing.

Jojo's Bizarre Memeventure will kill this block before Gundam can show up to replace Tokyo Meme
Blake Watson
>Jojo did bad last week because the schedule changed! What's your excuse this week?
Jonathan Turner
Damn, TG did better than HxH in both viewers and demo this time. Oh well, as long as it continues to improve it should be all good.
Benjamin James
Super is a rerun? When does the new stuff air?
Leo Cook
8:30
Kayden Diaz
>Outlaw Star will replace GitS at 2:30am I'm not staying up to rewatch a mediocre show from forever ago
Jacob Robinson
>Lupin lost 67k from HxH in the target demo, but only 5k overall
Logan Morgan
Part 4 WILL save toonami!
Levi Cooper
Neither is anyone else lmao
Xavier Sanders
Yet another week where the block has been BTFO by 4 AM Home Movies reruns in 18 - 49 viewership
Colton Young
Will Outlaw Star save us? probably not
Nathaniel Sanders
Not at 2:30am in the morning, user. No idea why, but the engagement isn't there anymore. This might be the start of a trend and will probably get worse from here.
Josiah Morris
At least it's still better than One Piece.
Sebastian Richardson
Oh well
Jose White
>Adult Swim is funding two new 6 episode seasons of FLCL. Set for 2018.
FOR WHAT PURPOSE
Jordan Torres
I was there when it got cancelled the first time, I was there when it came back, and I'll be damned if I don't stick with it until the bitter end.
Liam Rodriguez
Production IG wanted to make new FLCL and Adult Swim was willing to help fund it.
Angel Diaz
Where you belong:
Austin Bailey
Should have funded a continuation of Bleach adapting Thousand Year Blood War
Parker Howard
the absolute madman
Parker Wright
And deal with the 200+ unanswered questions that the show left behind? No thanks. On the other hand, maybe there will be some shuffling around with the shows, but TG is gone in about six weeks or so.
Connor Foster
Does the Samurai Jack rerun count as the block? I thought the Later bump played after AoT2.
Cooper Torres
I like how people just casually toss out how they should have thrown money to continue Deadman or Bleach.
In Deadman's case, it was one of the first new pick ups and aired when they had like no money. How are you supposed to make more of a show when you can barely afford to put stuff on in the first place?
In Bleach's case, that would have been incredibly expensive and probably wouldn't have yielded a whole lot of fruit when interest in the anime generally declined after Aizen and Pierrot moved onto new projects. Probably would have done neato over here, but for the enormous cost stemming from the sheer amount of episodes i dunno.
Jordan Myers
Will they leave nothing unsullied?
Easton Martin
Actually you're wrong. Home Movies may have gotten a 0.40 demo, but the 11:00 PM Dragon Ball got a 0.42 which is higher so, take that.
Wyatt Powell
TYBW went on for 4.5 YEARS (which is 30% of the entire series when taking into account it was published for almost 15 years exactly ending two days after its 15th anniversary) and left dozens of plotholes, teases, unresolved questions, and dropped plot points
Watching it animated would only upset me more

David Turner
How long ago did they axe One Piece? How fucking terrible were its ratings to axe it?
Michael King
How long until we pull a 0.1 demo rating? This is fucking pathetic. Literally Chiller-tier terrible ratings. Just two years ago 0.5 was considered low. Now I know cord cutting is a thing, but pretty much any other given night, the ratings in each individual timeslot are anywhere from 100k to 1 million viewers higher.
John Rogers
>unanswered questions such as?
Julian Smith
How the fuck
Isaiah Watson
>Outlaw Star will replace GitS at 2:30am on August 17th.
Don't you mean the 19th?
Kevin White
>Soul King is hyped up, then never even explained. Mainly why his organs and appendages are severed, sentient Quincy, and fighting to kill him >Ginjou receives no backstory whatsoever aside from being the first Substitute Shinigami, aside from Soi-Fon mentioning he apparently killed several low-rank Shinigami and somehow stole their powers >Orihime resolves to erase the Hogyoku from existence, but this is never brought up or mentioned again afterwards >Isshin teases his Bankai, but we never see it >Shuhei is revealed to have obtained his, but this is also never seen >The fates of Urahara, Yoruichi, the Vizard who are not readmitted as Captains/Lieutenants, Grimmjow, and others are never revealed >Yachiru is never really explained aside from the twist towards the end >During Lost Agent, Karin goes to see Urahara to ask him something and its implied she might have Shinigami powers but what she asks is never revealed and she makes no more appearances until the epilogue
Among other things
Benjamin Rivera
Yea then we get Gundam, so say farewell to good ratings
Jason Baker
How the fuck was this allowed?
Adrian Flores
Just to piss you off.
Christopher Cooper
Using this for Saturday. Thanms fampai
Jack Taylor
So what episodes are watchable this week? >inb4 none
Noah Rivera
The point they are trying to make is that instead of wasting money on making new episodes for a complete series that no one wants, they could have spent that completing an incomplete series. No one is suggesting that new season of DW happen in 2012
Josiah Taylor
Dumb ass motherfucker had his anime cancelled and was basically told to wrap his shit up. He decided "NAAAH, FUCK YOU GUYS, I'M GONNA RIDE THIS AS LOOOOONG AS I CAN." Four and a half years later, editorial told him "You get three weeks, pack your shit."
I can't blame him entirely, Shonen Jump editorial is fucking awful in a plethora of ways, but Kubo ended up doing it mostly out of spite and negligence.
Thomas Hughes
Toonami needs to air High School DxD uncensored.
Gavin Hill
Oh great, now we are gonna have to see this trash every week
Colton Jackson
>out of spite This somehow makes me feel better about the whole thing.
Austin Davis
>Toonami will never air Ricks School Pickle x Pickle
Caleb Edwards
More like he wanted to end the series after Rukia's execution but they wouldn't let him, so he just did what the fuck ever for a decade
Carter Bell
Anime would have ended anyway. Even if they had wanted to continue it they would have needed to go on an extended hiatus, or aired over a year's worth of filler (Kubo took over a month off between the end of Lost Agent and the start of TYBW. By the time the anime finished Lost Agent, the manga was only 2-3 chapters into TYBW)
Benjamin Myers
>Four and a half years later, editorial told him "You get three weeks, pack your shit." To be fair, they probably told him well before that "You can run until Bleach's 15th (Ichi-Go) anniversary, but not a week longer". But Kubo is notoriously shit at planning out his stories, so he spent way too long on shit that didn't matter and not nearly enough time on the shit that should have been focused on.
Bentley Stewart
>Toonami will never air Elfen Lied >Toonami will never air Gantz >Toonami will never air Lupin the Third: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine >Toonami will never air Space Battleship Yamato 2199
Sebastian Jenkins
>Toonami will never air Gantz
Why do you have to do that to me user? I love that series.
Camden Walker
>naked girls are icky
t. Jason DeMarco
Angel Turner
Kinda both? Jump doesn't let you end, but they also want you to always be ready to end whenever. So he just stopped caring and just drew whatever he thought looked cool.
They could have had a Great Tea Race.
Jump seems like hell from what little can be gleaned about how it works.
Alexander Brooks
They genuinely can't though, because of sexual content.
Just like they won't be able to air the uncensored Hot Springs episode of Outlaw Star.
Grayson Rivera
No sexy cat tats.
John Baker
If I recall, on Twitter Jason said they'd try to air it edited obviously but couldn't promise anything. Not sure if the situation has changed or not
Adrian Long
Fucking S&P. Always have to spoil entertainment.
Brayden Cook
>Space Battleship Yamato 2199 Voyager Entertainment is probably the worse North American anime distribution company I've seen since the days of Illumitoon. They have literally one title to release and they can't even do that right.
Aaron Morgan
Filler mid Bleach arc is a staple of the anime
Nolan Lee
All of that is crap so I don't see the issue
Easton Phillips
> Toonami will never air Zegapain
Brayden Williams
>Bleach gets "cancelled" >the news of it ending jumpstarts its popularity >year or two go by and they bring it back/do some kind of spinoff Pretty obvious keikaku
Hudson Russell
WHAT DID YOU SAY NIGGAH?!
Jace Powell
Fujiko Mine is just too sexy. But also the whole Owl subplot is dumb.
Aiden Morgan
I will rape your pet gold fish and piss on your granny if you don't take it back
Carson Diaz
You heard me. Everything on that list is trash. A dog wouldn't even take a crap on those shows
Angel Gutierrez
Perhaps there's a reason why Toonami was scrapped.
It shouldn't have returned.
Bentley James
And yet here you are shitting on them.
Levi Green
So you were just born with no taste, eh user?
Parker Ward
I don't think that poster is a dog, user.
Elijah Evans
This. Dogs can't post on the internet because they can't type and are stupid toilet water drinkers. Cats could probably post on the internet though, not that I would know
Brayden Bailey
He's a son of a bitch, at least.
Gabriel Jackson
I put you off the porch, Tyson. Go to sleep.
Gavin Martin
>ramen discussion that happened after dragonball whoever the FUCK posted that picture of a slice of cheese in a cup a soup..
thank you, a velveeta slice in a chicken cupasoup was delicious as fuck
Cameron Sullivan
I have both of these things. I must try it.
Ethan Gutierrez
Please tell me you're not retarded enough to actually think that's a jason thing rather than an obvious network policy
Dominic Gomez
If they just aired after Lost Agent then it wouldn't be mid-arc it would be between arcs (like Bount and Invading Army)
Gavin Flores
He will SAVE US!
Samuel Nelson
>they care about ratings
Jaxon Price
It literally is a Jason thing though. Instead of just saying S&P wouldn't let it fly, he had to add in his two cents about being gay too
Nicholas Bell
Considering ratings are the main force keeping the block on the air it makes sense
Michael Fisher
Why? There's no steady decline to speak of. There have been ups and downs but on average it's a set amount.
Evan Robinson
Honestly all this shit is stream able. Who wants to watch it at these times. You can search hits stream of your phone and chromecast the entire thing.
Charles Myers

Andrew Ortiz
But i see the problem: Super's 8:30 slot is killing the block.
Solution: eliminate the two slots and air the new episode at 11pm. Also drop AoT.
Charles Williams
Justin Beiber was a chart-topper for years success does not measure quality
Christopher Flores
Also Hunter x Hunter is choking Naruto's ratings
Chase Brooks
> air shitty shows > get shitty ratings
Joseph Adams
>That drop when Kek la Kek aired
and people call THAT the savior?
Michael Collins
They can't. It's literally in their contract that they air it at that slot to attract kids in order to market toys to them.
Connor White
Are you implying Big Bang Theory isn't the greatest comedy of our generation?
Jaxon Lopez
Does that apply to TTG?
Henry Jones
Ryukofag and NOT Death Gun BTFO
Noah Robinson
Fucking Toei. First shutting down TeamFourStar, now this crap?
Jaxson Adams
Some of this shit was covered in the Bleach Novel. If it does well enough, and other content they put out does well enough there putting out (Live action movie and the mobile games) there's a chance there could be an anime done on his kid, ala boruto.
Kubo has some interesting ideas from what the novel seems to indicate, but he didn't express them clearly. If he did his manga would have easily have been top tier throughout.
