Outlaw Star will replace GitS at 2:30am this Saturday.
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 ratings were mildly less shit, this week they shifted back down. Jojo is starting the trend of a massive drop from its lead show that its first seasons had. Lupin got BTFO by Naruto, and while not part of Toonami, Jack hit fabled 200k numbers.

It amazes me how people will drop Lupin and come back for Naruto.
Mason Powell
how big is your demarco edit folder
Jonathan Martin
Is Toonami going to die again because of demarco's shit taste
David Lopez
Toonami is going to die because TV is dying. Anime is freely available in a million other places without needing cable. Hell anime fans were probably some of the first people to drop cable altogether. Demarco is raking the coals of a dead market.
Andrew Smith
So these are apparently the numbers on weeknights: >11:00 - Family Guy - 1.5 million >11:30 - Family Guy - 1.75 million >12:00 - Robot Chicken - 1.25 million >12:15 - Robot Chicken - 1.05 million >12:30 - Mike Tyson Mysteries - 950k >12:45 - Aqua Teen - 910k >1:00 - Squidbillies - 870k >1:15 - Moral Orel - 820k >Rest of night somewhere between 600k and 800k
Thomas Mitchell
Its certainly not helping matters but nowadays its just easier to watch anime online.
Mason Perry
>Aqua Teen does better than Dragon Ball Super
Why
Brody White
>drop boring scooby doo tier nonsense for a mature show with an actual plot Yea wow why would anyone ever want to skip Lupin?
Dylan Price
Because Aqua Teen is actually good
Hudson Campbell
>AS is now pulling TG ratings from last year Face it, CN as a whole is dying. The daytime is just TTG, Gumball and OK KO for 14 hours straight and AS is just McFarlane's crap and the same reruns of robot chicken we've all seen a million times. Between that and their overuse of bomb scheduling, CN offers almost nothing new or interesting to tv anymore. All cable networks are suffering because of the streams but most of them try to keep relevant by experimenting with new shows and keeping their blocks interesting. It's become obvious that CN's given up by now so why don't they just kill the channel already?
Jace Gutierrez
Not as big as you'd think, maybe 50 images or show. I haven't been very motivated to make them lately.
Grayson Cruz
RIP Based Master Shake
Outlaw Star is vibes. Cannot wait.
Robert Cruz
I call bullshit on Moral Orel getting above 300,000 viewers. That shit is ratings cancer.
Parker Myers
yeah if lupin is only getting 450k, surely MO would be much much lower
Samuel Reyes
>Naruto >Mature
Asher Diaz
Yes. 2018 is likely to be our last year. After the shit summer we've had ratings-wise, I wouldn't be surprised if plans were already being discussed about shutting down the block after FLCL airs next year.
Evan Anderson
They will probably record some generic TOM bumpers and keep on an hour of Super or something. For whatever reason AS always wants some anime on so they can say they air it.
David Ramirez
Really makes you think
Joseph Foster
AS used to air anime on weeknights after about midnight or so after ATHf and the usual Family Guy reruns. I remember staying up late to watch Red Jacket Lupin, YuYu Hakusho GitS, Paranoia agent, Big O and others well past my bedtime. If the block does die, I at least hope we get that back.
Jack Hall
>if the one night anime block can't stand I hope it expands to weekday
Juan Hall
Yeah "Toonami" is never going to die again. They will keep the moniker applied to some sort of block on Adult Swim until the day AS ceases to be a cable network.
Nigga that was like 10 years ago. And for a while some anime on weeknights like Big O and Inuyasha was only slotted in the 5 AM death slot.
Kevin Martin
Stop asking for MHA
Ryan Rogers
This.
At this point, its just the AS animrle block with Toonami's name slapped on it.
Unless AS doesnt exist anymore, its going to stick around
Lincoln Evans
>more people are watching 12 year old reruns of DUDE CHRISTIAN LMAO claymation shit in the dead of night than new anime premieres on saturday nights
kill me now lads
Landon Gutierrez
What are your best memories of toonami and toonami general? Space dandy threads were the best. >it'll never be that good again
Kevin Sullivan
McGuirk bro (also in 2013 and 2014 watching the block before Toonami when it still had cool shows like Home Movies and The Venture Bros and The Boondocks)
Parker Perry
GXP was the most fun. Watching horrible shows with other people somehow elevates the material.
Kayden Martinez
Toonami related news from Otakon: >Discotek has licensed the 2001 Cyborg 009 series and will be releasing it on DVD and SD-BD >The Discotek release of Lupin Part 4 will be two separate releases, one containing just the dub and another for just the Japanese audio. The reason being that there are differences beyond just the different music that make it impossible to sync the two tracks up as they are. Discotek attempted to make an offer to TMS to recut the dub on their own dime so there would only be one release, but TMS refused the offer, stating bluntly "the Japanese music is for the Japanese audio, the international music is for the dub". >Gundam Wing BD in December >G Gundam BD next year >Gundam Seed (and Seed Destiny) are being redubbed completely to match the recut HD remaster
Nathan Young
SAO when people actually saw that the AIDS girl din, in fact, have AIDS.
Matthew Gonzalez
I miss the good OC.
Landon Turner
The laffs were too good.
Ryan Morales
SAO was a magical ride. Ghoul is just too bland.
Ian Thompson
>people prefer something good over some of the worst anime money can buy Wow, what a shock
Christopher Powell
It's plug is going to be pulled because people nowadays can go on streaming sites like Crunchyroll anytime for their anime fix.
Jose Baker
None of that has anything to do with Toonami
Julian Diaz
Outlaw Star is being really weird on the schedule. For some reason the episode title and rating are missing from every single schedule source, even though we're clearly starting from the first episode (right?) and it should be rated by now. My cable guide and Zap2it are still showing the old TV-Y7 rating.

Christopher Adams
It was the same way for One Piece since 2013. Still listed as Y7. It's not gonna get updated
Lucas Campbell
>implying Demarco won't see "new dub" and pick up Gundam Seed Also the Lupin part is entirely relevant.
Colton Smith
Will FLCL 2 and 3 revive Toonami?
Josiah Flores
Unless it's going to be ON Toonami, it's not Toonami news. No one cares about BD releases
Brandon Perez
>will something no one wanted fix the block No
Leo Green
so let me get this straight >mid 2015 >quintuple millions; high: 1.6 mil, low 793k >mid 2016 >triple millions; high 1.6 mil, low 590k >early 2017 >double millions; high: 1.2 mil, low 580k >mid 2017 >0 millions, high: 901k, low 299k
We're fucked
Julian Brown
...
Anthony Evans
No. There's almost nothing Demarco or any of the brass can do when its more of a convenience thing. Most of the shows they air are years old and have been available on various streaming services in the interim before they even hit TV (not to mention the numerous illegal options).
It was going to die regardless and i admit its impressive that it's stuck around for what? 5 years now?
Dylan Walker
I tuned out back after SAO ended and am glad i jumped ship when i did
Colton Gutierrez
Gundam SEED was ass and if the previous two Gundams being duds on air is any indicator i wouldn't hold my breath
Dylan Ortiz
>wait all week for toonami >Saturday comes >Sup Forums gets bombarded by antifa LARPers because this fucking place won't stop until it becomes a Sup Forums colony
I hate you faggots so much that I actually want Google to buy the site
Adam Moore
huh?
Jaxson Fisher
Possibly. I doubt it will reach Jack levels in terms of numbers, but its a unique thing they have.
Oliver Ross
Are you the same user that got buttmad while defending the chinless faggots?
If not, you're still a faggot.
Cameron Davis
Can't wait for the Blurays
I hope they put in the effort like they're doing with Wing
Justin Diaz
They could stop airing crap
Elijah Sanders
t. sam hyde
sorry about your show btw
Ethan Mitchell
Only faggot I see is you and that fat bitch who bum rushed a moving Charger
Connor Hughes
Why the shit would i wait 7 days and stay up until 1:30 AM to watch some show that Netflix probably has had in its entirety for months? This was inevitable. Anime as a market pivoted to online when it became feasible to deliver content right from the source in a semi-expedient manner. Waiting months for a dub to be made and aired on TV is antiquated.
Elijah Reed
i bet FLCL will get sub million ratings kek
Joseph Diaz
I don't even know what the fuck you're talking about right now.
So yeah, you are the dumbass who defended them before getting assblasted into deleting your thread. Good to know!
Lincoln Cruz
>using Sup Forums outside of Toonami threads
Luis Sanders
It was a Challenger
Jason Flores
For fun, like people did 2012-2015 >air garbage >worse yet, air garbage everyone already watched >wtf ratings are bad Things wouldn't be this bad if they had some obscure titles that encouraged even a few people to tune in weekly
Jace Thompson
As sad as this is, it's probably true. Most people interested in the original series are grown adults now. Most have homes, jobs, families and have given up a lot of the hobbies they had years ago, including anime. Anyone really interested will watch the block but most will just end up streaming it online when they get some free time rather than stay up until midnight on a Saturday every week for who knows how long.
Lucas Barnes
I thought you guys said the meme part of Jojo was supposed to save the block since it is favored by the "normalfag" crowed?
David Taylor
>when the commie gets triggered
Maybe you should eat then you won't be grumpy.
Oh wait lol
Juan Howard
>thread's been up for a little under two hours now >still no Ryuko poster It really is just about over, isn't it?
Logan Bell
People interested in the original series won't even watch the new season because they know they are just trying to cash in on nostalgia. FLCL is a complete series that didn't need more seasons
Jace Bell
I don't understand your posts or how they relate to me. You're making my brain rot, pepeman.
Adam Hill
>taking Jojobrony delusions seriously
Sebastian Sullivan
I heard them doing this to their schedules is done purposely to kill the channel.
Julian Wood
>he's still replying
Rent free
Josiah Ortiz
He's been known to be late to these threads before.
Brayden Rogers
>but TMS refused the offer, stating bluntly "the Japanese music is for the Japanese audio, the international music is for the dub". The fuck is malfunctioning with these faggots?
Adam Reyes
It was a meme like three years ago when Part 3 aired in Japan and all the memers just watched the subbed streams. It really doesn't help that the SC dub's VO quality is nowhere near as good as the Jap dub.
No, Christina Miller is just an idiot.
Justin Thompson
so what's in all of those that we don't have now, it must be the true savior of the block
Michael Brown
Well when he gets here would you mind passing the following along:
Where you belong
Noah Wilson
Less competition from streams and the shows were either fun or fun to shit on.
Jaxon Brown
>the block is averaging 50% fewer viewers than it was two years ago
kill me
Xavier Morgan
The cool feeling of Toonami being back slowly, gradually died, and more and more people started not watching TV as much in general, realizing that it's much easier to stream whatever they want to watch. As fun as it is, Toonami is a block that can't pull big numbers in the current day and age.
Liam Walker
Anyone else just instinctively turn Toonami off the moment Tokyo Ghoul is announced next? Like, I'd probably sit through HxH and Lupin if they were before TG, but I don't, I just go to sleep when TG is announced.
Aaron Evans
Exactly when did everything go wrong for this block?
Hudson Fisher
when it decided to come back in an age where streaming is the de-facto method of viewing foreign content
Jonathan Smith
Japan for Japanese
Mason Collins
hey hey hey just air hero academia lol it's form it's already popular or we can do Dragon maid
Nolan Butler
The signs started to show back on Shogo 162, HxH was the actual beginning of the gradual downfall.
David Harris
Shows with good waifus
Jackson Campbell
Mid 2016 when HxH started, that was the day Demarco decided to fill 90% of the block with long runners
Lucas Ramirez
>turning off the best show of the night
Carter Ramirez
...
Nathaniel Rogers
What show is this again? Friends?
Juan Lewis
What? I'm confused. It didn't premiere on netflix though? Hell the dub isn't even on netflix as far as I know
James Cooper
DeMarco didn't like Gundam Seed. It's not getting on the block.
Julian Long
DeMarco needs to get his shit straight. The problem is that Hulu has the exclusive rights, not Netflix.
