Respectable ratings, though something's got to be done about the late run drop off, I think.

 

[MikeMyers]

Yes, the ones done by your friend, right?

Yeah, really helps point out a lot of stuff I never noticed.

 

[bigkrev]

Dandy might have been hurt by the College BB game that started at 9 and went to OT? I don't care about it at all and don't know when it ended

 

[Dr.Palutena]

Triple millions are just boring now. Our expectations have changed.

Yea, was expecting hexa-Saiyan god , this was like the only possible time now that dandy is repeating .

 

[todd360]

I dream of the day when One Piece is the first show in the line up.

 

[Levyne]

I dream of the day when One Piece is the first show in the line up.

Hey, who knows what will happen when Bleach is over in October or whatever. But we'll still probably have Dandy at 11:30 (S2 Rerun).

Unless by first you mean highest rating.

 

[Htown]

Whoa...Bleach topping Dandy this past week.

The episode came out early in Japan this past week, right? My guess is some people just watched it then.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Might have to ban Bishop.

You're no fun, Seda.

 

[Levyne]

The episode came out early in Japan this past week, right? My guess is some people just watched it then.

Oh. That's a good point.

 

[Seda]

You're no fun, Seda.

I was just bouncing off hehateme's joke

I'd also like to point out that March, 2014 is the fourth highest rated month since the block returned in 2012.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

First time Bleach has outdone Space Dandy.

It's probably not a big deal at this point, but I'm curious how the ratings will do during the reruns.

 

[daveo42]

The episode came out early in Japan this past week, right? My guess is some people just watched it then.

Yeah, you are probably right about that. Very likely it was a contributing factor in the drop. I'm expecting it to stay below Bleach until new episodes of Dandy show up later this year.

 

[Levyne]

We're also almost out of Bleach filler.

Right?

Tell me we are almost free.

 

[Dr.Palutena]

I assume by name alone march madness is over and that nothing big is happening on days in April though the next big chance at ratings I would think is come summer breaks

 

[Levyne]

I assume by name alone march madness is over and that nothing big is happening on says in April though the next big chance at ratings I would think is come summer breaks

3 more games.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

We're also almost out of Bleach filler.

Right?

Tell me we are almost free.

Nope twenty more episodes.

Spoiler

I'm kidding

 

[Seda]

Goddamn it I flinch for like a split second when I see my avatar post but it isnt me.

 

[Levyne]

Nope twenty more episodes.

Spoiler

I'm kidding

Dammit Seda

 

[daveo42]

Don't worry Seda, I thought it was you at first too. I have issues with reading and recognizing basic colors.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Whoa...I'm seeing double.

Four Sedas!!

 

[Dr.Palutena]

Two of the worst Pokemon in the same room

 

[Loco4Coco]

So Bleach out-viewed Dandy.

 

[BassForever]

Don't worry Seda, I thought it was you at first too. I have issues with reading and recognizing basic colors.

You think you have problems with colors

 

[Branduil]

People watching Bleach filler instead of Dandy smh.

 

[Seda]

Novid wore Branduil's current avatar for a while. What a crazy nonsense ranting fella he was.

 

[BassForever]

Yes, the ones done by your friend, right?

Where the heck were you last weekend?

 

[Dr.Palutena]

His rants were amazingly bizarre , especially that thunder-cats one and that thing about crunchy roll.

 

[Tenumi]

Novid wore Branduil's current avatar for a while. What a crazy nonsense ranting fella he was.

That avatar scares me now, since I can still associate it with that... person.

Novid was weird. Understatement of the year.

 

[Amikami]

Hahah. Hehateme got me.

 

[ASSauLTxMasTER]

Wonder if that Boondocks episode killed some viewers. ;P

If you missed April Fools, [AS] is doin' a marathon of it right now.

Anddd, CabooseJr uploaded zeh bumps and such.

 

[UltraGunner]

Wondering if Toonami will expand along with the rest of [AS]

 

[Dr.Palutena]

I think eventually especially with all the mils but not anytime soon

 

[BassForever]

His rants were amazingly bizarre , especially that thunder-cats one and that thing about crunchy roll.

This, oh man I remember his like 2000 word rant on Crunchyroll, I read it twice am and still unsure what he was mad about

 

[ASSauLTxMasTER]

Wondering if Toonami will expand along with the rest of [AS]

Well, SOMETHING is replacing Double Boondocks. There's no way they would need to double it up as they are skipping episodes as it is.

Maybe Toonami expands AGAIN when Space Dandy premieres AGAIN in July.

 

[B-Dubs]

This, oh man I remember his like 2000 word rant on Crunchyroll, I read it twice am and still unsure what he was mad about

Thank god I'm not the only one who thought that rant was unintelligible gibberish.

 

[Tamanon]

Goddamn it I flinch for like a split second when I see my avatar post but it isnt me.

Now you know how I feel every time I see a CaesarDrew post on Gaming side.

BTW, 4 more episodes of Bleach filler left! Then it's time for the Fullbringers!

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Didn't Novid also pretend to work on Thundercats?

Thank god I'm not the only one who thought that rant was unintelligible gibberish.

It was thing....

 

[TheChits]

Yeah he posed as an "insider" when Thundercats was airing. Pretty odd

 

[Dr.Palutena]

Didn't Novid also pretend to work on Thundercats?
It was thing....

I recall him hinting at things getting better during its initial run along with being a hype man. I think it was some type of "fake it and maybe they'll actually offer to hire me" kinda weird thing he was trying to do lol.

 

[BatDan]

This, oh man I remember his like 2000 word rant on Crunchyroll, I read it twice am and still unsure what he was mad about

I think he was trying to say "Crunchyroll sold out to the man, maaaaaan"
Since CR used to be an illegal animu streaming site, and now they do it legally.

 

[BassForever]

I think he was trying to say "Crunchyroll sold out to the man, maaaaaan"
Since CR used to be an illegal animu streaming site, and now they do it legally.

But he was upset with how it was stealing people away from toonami? It was bizarre

 

[daveo42]

This Novid guy sounds really really odd. I do, however, know some people that shared that same sentiment when CR went from pirate stream to a legit one.

As for expansion, we might see Toonami spread farther into Saturday evening, but my guess is that CN will just fill the extra slot(s) with other AS shows on Saturday.

But he was upset with how it was stealing people away from toonami? It was bizarre

Wait, what?

 

[Dr.Palutena]

Yea I think he was more upset that I previously "illegitimate " source was now a place where people could legally watch anime and blamed things like it as to why anime would no longer be watched or picked up as much on live tv. Either way it was bizarre and sorta misguided .

 

[Levyne]

11 pm would look nicer than 11:30. A meaningless thing but I hope they get it.

 

[BatDan]

But he was upset with how it was stealing people away from toonami? It was bizarre

That.... I don't know.
Either way it was really bizarre.

 

[Seda]

Novid had strange praise for Toonami and Demarco.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Where the heck were you last weekend?

I went to my friends hometown for the weekend

 

[Dr.Palutena]

11 pm would look nicer than 11:30. A meaningless thing but I hope they get it.

Yea I won't say a on the hr start wouldn't assuage some uh pet peeves I have currently .
