Space Dandy is replacing Lupin next week somewhere on the schedule no one cares
Adult Swim is funding two new 6 episode seasons of FLCL. Set for 2018.
Last week ratings showed us new lows, with midnight Jojo barely clearing 500k. This week the drops stop, but the numbers remain in typically shitty areas. Lupin decided to lose to Naruto one last time. Maybe Outlaw Star will do better this week being a little earlier

anyways, they're good people

>Super is ending in Nipland. Welp, there officially goes Toonami. It was nice knowing all of ya.
Oliver Rodriguez
It's just a break
Isaac Brown
Meme Clover drops the ratings like it drops a hot deuce in the commode
Daniel Gutierrez
It's CANCELLED.
John Sullivan
Shut up you know you'll watch it!!!
Leo Perez
Toonami is 77 episodes behind Japan. Even if this is the end of Super in Japan, we still have episodes here through the end of 2019.
Camden Hall
The peabrains who said Black Clover will SAVE US are wrong and I've tried warning you!
HE will SAVE US!
Landon Edwards
Flop X Flop
Henry Myers
Nah man, HxH only lost 15k overall viewers from Gundam and only lost 4k in the target demo. It's still extremely good at retaining audiences.
Easton Cooper
that's why it should be the first show after the dragon ball combo
Evan Walker
Man, can Jojo just end already?
Benjamin Perry
Part 5 soon
Landon Ortiz
>jojo is the problem
Brayden Lee
Here's last week's numbers:
>10:30 Dragon Ball Super 904 0.37 >11:00 Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters 761 0.34 >11:30 Black Clover 609 0.29 >12:00a Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders 508 0.21 >12:30a Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans 455 0.19 >1:00a Hunter X Hunter 460 0.22 >1:30a Lupin the 3rd: Part 4 428 0.21 >2:00a Naruto: Shippuden 430 0.21 >2:30a Outlaw Star 421 0.20 >3:00a Cowboy Bebop (r) 412 0.21 >3:30a Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG (r) 370 0.19
Good Lord, look at that demo for DB Super! I guess people were waiting patiently until Goku Black came along, huh? I feel bad for Black Clover, despite it being cookie-cutter as ever, at least the side characters are pretty cool.

Hudson Reed
Terrible. What a waste of a slot
Brody Sanders
Holy shit! Look at Super's ratings right there. BASED GOKU NEGRO.
Jonathan Reyes
Well, Lupin is never getting run on the block ever again. Do you have the rundown for any other completed series?
Jackson Rivera
What ones do you want to know?
Michael Stewart
Let's go with AgK, KLK and One Piece. With data, at the very least, we can shutdown the show posters.
Thomas Nelson
The show everyone wants to come back, One Piece
Nolan Parker
Also, is the average for 18-49 or overall?
Parker Bell
Pretty obvious it's overall
Owen Martinez
So anyone got any theories on why everyone tuned out of Lupin? I blame it on being just a part of a long-running series. It expects the viewers to already know the characters and setup at that point which made people pass on it.
Lincoln Robinson
Thematically, it was just a bad fit to the block. I don't particularly dislike Lupin, but compared to most of the stuff on the block, it was just off.
David Morgan
Honestly I feel like the problem is people just don't care as much anymore. I've said it in the past but But they need to make previews for all the show that can been shown over the week, not just super. I'm sure that will draw some moderate amounts of attention and get someone curious.
Benjamin Gutierrez
>everyone Speak for yourself. For all the shit BC gets, it still has less autistic screaming than OP
Nathan Fisher
Lupin is just too goofy. Same issue OP had. Other issue I could see is Lupin being such a Mary Sue gets pretty dull. No matter how bad things look, Lupin has some asspull ready to go to save his bacon. But it's played 100% serious and that Lupin really had a keikaku 20 steps ahead
Charles Bennett
Why aren't they getting something like the Garo anime for the block? It's the right amount of shonen and edge
Liam Perez
Because Demarco is only interested in nostalgia despite it killing the block
Jackson Thompson
I am speaking for myself, for I am everyone who wants it to come back
Gavin Hernandez
>tfw you've been phoneposting in toonami general for almost three years now because some Sup Forums mod prema'd you for one off-color remark

best girl, best show, best ratings
Sebastian Ramirez
Goodness, the absolute state of the block. Thanks for these, user! There's just One Piece left now.
Cooper Foster
I don't currently have a One Piece one ready at the moment, so you're going to have to wait until tomorrow.
Bentley Walker
That's okay. Given the information that you've posted, it's clear that we've fallen quite far. On top of that, it looks like we're forever trying to outpace streaming services on a horse.
What are the odds that Demarco reruns Kai?
Hudson Russell
Current Series End Dates (accounting for marathons): Dragon Ball Super - November 16, 2019 Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters - June 23, 2018 Black Clover - January 19, 2019 JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders - August 11, 2018 Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans - April 21, 2018 Hunter X Hunter - June 29, 2019 Space Dandy - August 4, 2018 Naruto: Shippuden - December 7, 2024 Outlaw Star - March 17, 2018 Cowboy Bebop - March 31, 2018 Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG - May 12, 2018
Sebastian James
>2 slots in March >1 slot in April >1 slot in May >1 slot in June >2 slots in August
One of those is getting FLCL, but since we lose two slots in March on the back end of the block, what happens?
Justin Price
We've got 5 slots opening up in the spring, 1 is probably going to FLCL, another one is probably going to a rerun (Big O is my first guess, but they might decide to rerun one of the shows that just finished at the end of the block). So that's still 3 slots to fill. I wouldn't rule out them just shrinking the block as needed either.
But the fact remains we'll probably be getting new stuff in about 2 months, and I have no idea what is on the table right now. I've heard nothing regarding any series Toonami is interested in.
Jose Anderson
>but since we lose two slots in March on the back end of the block, what happens? They have a few options >Big O (at least season 2, though season 1 may be a possibility now) >IGPX >FLCL (the original) >Samurai Jack (run the original seasons) >Attack on Titan (giving season 2 one more run before the inevitable season 3 airing in the summer)
Isaac Allen
What reruns would you WANT to see? I'd like to see casshern sins again mainly because I missed quite a few episodes.
Dylan Lee
Trigun.
Owen Williams
Hamtaro or Wulin Warriors
Austin Ortiz
madoka magica When They Cry Trigun Sailor Moon Crystal (dont meme on me)
Aaron Morris
I'm going to try to trick him into a Kai rerun question at the Q&A. If he doesn't just say no, then we know it's coming
Josiah Fisher
NONE. Fuck reruns. There's literally no motivation to stay up for the block if it's airing a bunch of reruns
Adrian Reed
How is it Jojo to IBO has such a great retention rate?
Zachary Campbell
Because after Kai ends everyone has fucked off except the super hardcore fans who think if they miss a week it will get cancelled. So they watch stuff they hate just for the thought of saving the block
Brandon Reed
Occasionally shirtless lewd dudes. Faggots, in a word.
Joseph Anderson
>Ian Sinclair and Chris Sabat are doing the Pop Team Epic dub >pretty sure I heard some Chuck Huber in the background but not sure
Andrew Cooper
What show is that gif from?
Nolan Hughes
The main characters are only voiced by men for the first episode as a gag based on an earlier Poptepic strip
Luke Cooper
Each episode has had male and female tracks so far in the original japanese
Hudson Hughes
1. Calling it "Part 4" shut out normies who didn't know that there's no continuity. They weren't going to jump in in the middle of some franchise
2. The action was very light, making it a poor fit for the block
3. As a long-time Lupin fan, the overarching Rebecca storyline was *lame*
4. The series lacked the wit that the red jacket Pioneer localization had. contrary to many here, I think 100% faithful translations with no localization are not appropriate for broadcast TV, as most people are not weebs
It's gonna be shit. Yeah, we all know this already.
William Morgan
Why do you act like anyone even cares?
Benjamin Torres
Same reason people said agk will be shit black clover lupin etc
Evan Diaz
Black Clover and Lupin were both ratings pits so don't really support your argument
Leo Watson
personal opinions, not the ratings. you are broadly speaking that its going to suck, meanwhile others said other shows suck and they are turning out to be alright
Jaxon Cox
Is anyone working on this show that worked on the sequel besides the Seatbelts?
Brayden Butler
>next time on Jojo's >WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING
Jonathan Fisher
I said no one cares. Which will be reflected in its ratings
Carter Kelly
Not a single person. Which is why most people have already written it off as garbage.
Easton Mitchell
You can do better..
Brandon Johnson
Survive the night.
Noah Peterson
Not this week. Last two weeks were an aberration. We die early this week, just like Ponzu.
Luis Russell
>contrary to many here This is Sup Forums, not Sup Forums.
Isaac Lopez
>But it's played 100% serious and that Lupin really had a keikaku 20 steps ahead
>There are still people who can't understand that Lupin is a comedy first and foremost
Ethan Watson
Kind of toonami related but I meet the voice of Hisoka he is really cool is panel about Voice Acting was also pretty good.
Jason Phillips
He's top quality.
Kevin Sanchez
>Android 21 will never turn your dick into candy
Leo Hill
I'd like that too. It would be fun to watch the Shishio arc with you guys.
Mason Jones
Why don't they air Inuyasha? Need that Ferris wheel ending.
Isaiah Jenkins
Inuyasha had some of the comfiest endings in anime.
Carter Rivera
Because it's a couple hundred episode rerun
Parker Cruz
I remember back when Toonami was first returning Everyone on the animenewsnetwork forums wanted them to air Angel Beats.
Elijah Jackson
While the music was nice, we don't need that again, especially after they aired Final Act.
Adding to this, going from news and stuff, we should be able to figure out what studios Toonami has a good relationship with:
>Funimation - strained, is low priority with titles, barring AoT and anything Dragonball >Viz: Outside of Shippuden, no idea >Aniplex: Been a good while since we had an Aniplex show, my guess is about a year or longer >Sentai: Still good, but the last title we got was Parasyte
I could be wrong about all of that, but it's a good springboard for discussion.
Leo Powell
>Toonami Ratings from Last Week Ok >BBC says that Adolescence might last to 10 to 24 >Enzo Amore gets fired WHAT?!?!
Juan Phillips
>Viz: Outside of Shippuden, no idea You forgot Hunter x Hunter, JoJo, and One-Punch Man (just to name recent shows). I'd say Toonami has a solid relationship with Viz.
Angel Peterson
>mfw we can blame another anime and have JoJo run all the way through part 6
Nicholas Murphy
It was an insane night last week due to Bellator and UFC both having events last night. It was an amazing night for a MMA fan. Who needs asian cartoons when the American Gangsta is fighting?
Then again, how many fucking losers who watch toonami actually enjoy watching the greatest sport?
Hudson Reed
Oh shit, those totally slipped my mind. Viz aside, would you say that the rest of it is accurate, though?
Luke Nguyen
So basically what we need to save Toonami are more violent shows with hot chicks?
Easton Morales
Who and who were both having amazing nights and who was fighting?
Colton Young
Yes but said violence has to have a likable cast, otherwise it will end up like Tokyo Ghoul.
Hunter Jackson
Haven't seen much of the action of it so far, but Darling in the Franxx definately has hot chicks.
It's a split-cour series. I was hoping Demarco would try to pick it up in the Spring, then it could simulcast the second half in the Summer. Or it could work with them just picking it up in Summer and running through Fall.
Joseph Anderson
>Darling in the Franxx Is this the one with the Gurren Lagann people working on it?
Oliver Hall
It's A-1 and Trigger. Not sure how much the breakdown of work is.
