Toonami is expanding to 10:30 this Saturday to begin airing Naru... I mean Black Clover. It will air at 11:30.
Supposedly the 8pm Super hour is being dropped entirely, and Super now premieres on Toonami exclusively starting this Saturday.
Adult Swim is funding two new 6 episode seasons of FLCL. Set for 2018.
Marathon ratings yawn. Consistent though

Robert Ramirez
First for worst
Benjamin Cook
This marathon actually had really good viewer retention.
Jordan Lee
>Let's delay another episode of super right when it's about to enter the most infamous and dragged filler arc in the show The ape running this awful schedule needs to be fired.
Adrian Rivera
Super doesn't have filler.
Landon Gutierrez
>Black Clover Any chance it will be good?
Adam Rogers
I know we just had a game, but how about a magic themed game this saturday?
Jayden Harris
It's not as offensively boring as parts of Bleach and Naruto, but it's still pretty bland.
The funny thing is, the anime has still been more entertaining than the manga so far.
Ryan Richardson
noice
Benjamin Ward
None. However, it at least isn't as mind numbingly boring as Gundam, so there's that at least
Adam Sullivan
I wish she was that fat in the show.
Julian Foster
...
Daniel Roberts
I guess Outlaw Star isnt as popular as I thought it was. cant find an aisha clanclan outfit anywhere and I even spent a day lurking /cgl/.
But, found a sailor jupiter outfit. now for the sailor uniform or her sand colored normal outfit?
Ayden Robinson
Come on, user. It would be cute to see her belly jiggle every time she moves.
Dominic Flores
No it wouldn't. Fat is disgusting
Luke Clark
Black Memer will kill the ratings faster than Jojo's Bizarre Memeventure did
Oliver Clark
Meme Clover hits the ear better
Andrew Rivera
Black Clover just looks like shit,another "Im not special" mc that well be punching god like creatures by the last few episodes. All the possible shows and we get this.
Justin Long
more like hunted like a dog and barely getting by, spoiler alert hes special power is no magic
Logan Howard
When are we going to get good shows?
Gabriel Nelson
anime stayed the same, you changed.
so to answer your question.. never.
Joseph Hughes
I don't know what you guys expected. All the shows that are actually good get sold to streaming. Why waste a good and successful show on the relic that is Toonami?
Hunter Johnson
>The most infamous and second most dragging arc (copy vegeta) of Dragon Ball Super is about to come on >Not only does Toonami refuse to skip it, they are also delaying the episodes in favor of inane marathons Who's letting this happen?
James Barnes
>The most infamous and second most dragging arc (copy vegeta) of Dragon Ball Super is about to come on Howe bad is it?
Jackson Wright
I unconditionally loved (make that love) anything DragonBall related (even GT) and even I couldn't sit through that arc. As we speak I'm getting ready to make an autistic essay on how the ToP arc is not as bad as Sup Forums thinks on the DBS general and the minute someone brings up the copy vegeta arc I will go silent.
Jonathan Bailey
>the anime has still been more entertaining than the manga so far Don't just go on the internet and tell lies like that.
Gavin Clark
FAT LA FAT SEASON 3 NEVER
Jose Torres
Sure, I want to get rid of the memory of The Meme Sauce winning
Aaron Long
Here's last week:
>8:00 Dragon Ball Super (r) 628 0.24 >8:30 Dragon Ball Super 898 0.38 >11:00 Dragon Ball Super 818 0.39 >11:30 Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters 747 0.34 >12:00a Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders 643 0.30 >12:30a Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans 584 0.28 >1:00a Hunter X Hunter 580 0.28 >1:30a Lupin the 3rd: Part 4 492 0.25 >2:00a Naruto: Shippuden 475 0.25 >2:30a Outlaw Star 408 0.22 >3:00a Cowboy Bebop (r) 422 0.24 >3:30a Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG (r) 368 0.21
DBZ contingent really came through this time - now the trick is to get them to bother with stuff that isn't DBZ for growth overall! Given the crap timing, this thread will probably make it to Saturday.
Ayden Wood
Who is behind it all?
Ayden Foster
Hey it's not my fault they got posted so late
Wyatt Long
Fair enough. I wonder if Black Clover is gonna make the top 10 of premieres? Given the slot, I expect it to hit 1M just by virtue of being different and settling into a neat 750k groove. At the same time, since it is technically a simuldub, we'll see how it goes.
How were we doing at around this time a year ago?
Grayson Harris
Last bump. Sucks that I'll miss out on the 3rd ep. of Black Clover due to traveling, but I should be back for the last Toonami of the year.
Noah Ross
Reminder that DeMarco is too much of a bitch to strongarm Funimation
Easton Hernandez
reminder funi has their own 'channel' and netflix/hulu are in hard competition with television because the TV generation is here to stay for about 30-40 more years
Liam Hughes
Now I'm intrigued. What makes it so bad?
Jordan Price
>1mil Bruh we have had one showing of Super hit 1mil in the past 6 months and nothing else. You are nuts if you think a show already available on streaming is gonna get anywhere near a million. Especially since we are going into this -1 Family Guy
Aaron Gonzalez
lets assume thats because of super at 8:30. gatta wait until next week to see
Tyler Lopez
Funimation has 100% of the swing, there is NOTHING Demarco has to offer Funimation
Robert Kelly
I need a new toonami thread personality to come up with and retire in a few weeks, help me out
Jaxson Bailey
the anime equivilent of bum reviews in order for everyone to find any joy in the endlessly expanding heaps of shit toonami has become in the last year
Mason Rivera
Are genuinely surprised you were able to find an outfit for a show that's still fairly popular to this day with every type of merchandise imaginable compared to one that tanked in Japan and aired to moderate success in the US 15 years ago?
Aaron Green
>Not only does Toonami refuse to skip it >There are people who still think Toonami can skip filler Jeez you people are dumb. When you're dubbing all these episodes anyway you're selling them as a package deal. You don't get to pick and choose.
Isaiah Morris
>strongarm Funimation With what? What does Demarco have that could possibly be of any interest to Funimation people? TV exposure for shows? That would have worked 10 years ago, but not anymore. Why bother with CN when you've partnered with Crunchyroll, are owned by the largest TV production arm on Earth, and have Hulu knocking on your door with a bag of cash?
The fact that they're getting table scraps of 'popular' series (see Black Clover) instead of the heavy hitters is proof enough
Gavin Campbell
That's wrong though. They CAN skip them, they just choose not to because it's a huge waste of money
Ayden Jenkins
So the sand colored one then?
Nicholas Gonzalez
You usually can't skip shit.
4Kids got away with it with One Piece and GX, but everybody else usually has to air everything unless it's a censorship issue.
Xavier Scott
Have they ever actually done it?
Jaxon Anderson
The only time they really "skipped" anything was One Piece, and that was due more to the extreme length of the show and the fact that they wanted to start when the show was produced in HD by default
Cameron Green
50th for Justice
Asher Perez
she had the most satisfying death scene
Ethan Thomas
S-Shut U-Up rebel sc-scum
Andrew Sanchez
how long
Daniel Smith
>you people are dumb >Has his info wrong
Luke Jenkins
No and they never will because Demarco is a cheapass that doesn't believe in filler
Jack Davis
No, it is genuinely one of the worst low effort adaptations I've ever seen with an atrocious pace, the anime is at episode 9 and they only reached chapter fucking 7, the first 4 minutes of episodes are basically recapping and the intro, the show is already full of fillers. To make things worse, the manga it's adapting is horrible. The animation is shit and very inconsistent.
Nicholas Taylor
>Takes forever >Bad animation >Gotenks is weak all of a sudden >Goku comes to save the day again >The sheer fact that there is something interesting on the horizon
And in the dubs case the fact that Adult Swims and Toonami is constantly delaying the show for stupid shit makes things worse. If these guys weren't so retarded with their scheduling we would be at least an episode or two in the black arc already.
David Diaz
What.. have I done?
Thomas Phillips
>XXL
Lincoln Gonzalez
What are your thoughts on adult swim jr ?
Levi Taylor
I think retarded fake shit needs to stay out of these threads
Brandon Ortiz
>pay for a bunch of episodes >waste money by not airing them It's not like anyone is watching them at this anyway, canon or otherwise. Who cares
Gavin Moore
I think its how they are going to have family guy and teen titans go side by side.
Jordan Long
Why? Do you feel threatened by it?
Bentley Mitchell
No, but as long as the comments on it are fun, I'm gonna enjoy watching it with you guys.
Eli Watson
Silly name but top tier speculation.
Juan Ortiz
I went into it blind, just knowing it was based on a popular manga. The first episode left such a bad impression on me that I immediately dropped the series after being done with said episode. Even with the dub, you will not like the protagonist.
Daniel Hall
Name is funny and what you'd expect from as. The power of speculation brings autism together.
Grayson Ramirez
Remember to show the threads what you get.
Liam Bennett
No, it's because these threads are usually a small bubble from general Sup Forums retards. You are fucking stupid if you think a bump from THREE months ago that some dummy just found has any basis in reality
Nathan Jenkins
>No, it's because these threads are usually a small bubble from general Sup Forums retards Not really. It's the same morons week-in and week-out tugging each other's dicks about an antiquated relic that can't be salvaged
Ryan Powell
I didn't say we were retard free. Just that we don't have the drooling Sup Forums retards who still think things like GKND have a chance
Mason Long
Feels weird. Ratings threads are generally ok. but after a marathon they feel weird
Colton Cox
I agree. Post moar.
Aaron Jenkins
Not much left to post.
Nathan Barnes
Lewd af
Easton Carter
Think you can make it to saturday?
Benjamin Smith
There's always an autist watching these threads ready to necrobump them
Eli Gutierrez
>necro so its come to this
Robert Perez
Marathon ratings BTFO the block again. How soon until they just decide to use the TTG strategy and just spam Dragonshit on repeat all night every Saturday. Why even waste money on other shows at this point?
Carter Foster
Around mid June when they need to make a decision whether to rerun Kai or get something new
Landon James
That's gonna be the ultimate make or break moment.
Jace Ramirez
He will SAVE US!
Jack Fisher
I don't think I can do Kai all over again and I haven't missed a marathon in 3 years.
Jackson Wood
I sure as shit can't. Now that they have Super as a premiere, they can't use the excuse that they need an anchor show
Noah Davis
DRAGON BALL GT, LETS GOOOOOO!!!
Asher Anderson
So is nobody gonna address what a letdown Countdown was? If after watching that rushed shitshow that didn't change anything and you still think the 2019 TIE isn't purely because the 2018 one didn't get a budget, then you are a true retard
Anthony Gutierrez
I ended up missing all four weeks. What happened?
Jose Ramirez
I'm still confused at the ending.
I assume they're going to address the SARA goes evil thing in the next TIE? That's why they're gonna take a while to finish it. Having only 15~ minutes is pretty stifling.
Julian Perez
Not every TIE has to be a massive gamechanger.
Jaxson Hughes
>Future TOM goes back in time and changes places with Current TOM >Current TOM, in the Future runs around the ship finding out SARA got corrupted at some point and wants to wipe out all organic life and other things that stand in her way >Future TOM is talking to Present SARA to find out a way out of this >Present SARA says she would rather die than hurt TOM, which is a thing later >Battle in the future between Current TOM and Future SARA happens >Current TOM sustains the exact same damage as Future TOM >Future SARA has a moment of clarity from Past SARAs promise to never hurt TOM >Future SARA grabs Present TOM, who lost the fight and throws him out of the ship >Ship self destructs >Current and Future TOMs switch places again >Future TOM currently floating in space >Damaged Present TOM goes back to hosting
Fuck you this was confusing to explain if you dont get it.
Jason Scott
All of that for a swap? Damn, no wonder why no one was hyped for this TIE.
William Baker
Future TOM is in the future floating around Present TOM is the TOM we know, he just has damage.
This was a setup if anything
Jason Adams
I'd assume that user is partially right, there is no TIE next year because there's a good chance we get canned before then. But if by some miracle we pull through, we get that 2019 TIE and TOM gets fixed.
It's actually kind of fitting if Toonami dies before then, now that TOM is all busted up he looks the part of a host on the brink of cancellation
Daniel Evans
>because there's a good chance we get canned before then
Been hearing that for half a decade.
You really gonna go down that route too, when the block is literally expanding next week? It's always doom and gloom in these ratings threads.
Jack Miller
Yea but unlike that half decade, these past 6 months have been nothing but down ratings. How many marathons in a row have outdone the normal lineup now?
It's cool it's expanding, and very well might save us for a little longer. But I guarantee you that if the changes that start this week don't cause any change with the ratings, Toonami's days will be numbered because at that point AS will be out of options to try to salvage things
Ryan Martinez
Part 4 will save us.
Blake Clark
if we make it
Jackson Jackson
>halfway through part 4 pulling pitiful ratings >part 5 will save us! Jojobronies never change
