Cool. I hate how crowded it is now so now I don't have to feel obligated.

So the Pre-Flight stream is now just Toonami, and the description now says:
Suit up for an ass-kicking marathon of Toonami programs past and present, including Toonami: Pre-Flight every day at 5P ET (U.S. only).
AoT is on as I type this, an earlier episode - they are still in training.
Apologizes if this has been mentioned before and I missed the post.
Oh, and #SaveOnePiece

That's pretty cool and a great way to catch up if you miss a week.
One Piece's 18-49 numbers aren't too far off from Shippuden so I wouldn't be too worried. Still, total bullshit that people aren't tuning into the best show on the block.
Mikasa always with the shoving bread down people's throat. Leave Sasha alone.
I wish Mikasa showed some more of what I guess counts as her jokey/silly side sometimes

That sucks I have a hard time catching Pre-Flight when it airs and now if I miss it at 5PM I have to wait till the next day to watch :|
Cool that they have old episodes of stuff on a 24/7 stream, I just wish they kept Pre-Flight separate
I was looking at the 18-49 ratings and was like WHAT THE FUCK
Then I saw the real ratings. It just keeps trucking along, and Attack on Titan keeps showing why they aired it as much as they could.
This is kind of where I'm at. It's Attack on Titan, so add like 200K viewers to it automatically based on the property alone.

Apparently not so random? AoT episode 5 is on next. No Toonami bumpers or anything inbetween but this might be a soft launch.
It's got that edge.
you joke, but that's part of it
there's that feeling in the early episodes that anybody could bite it at any time
the show does a good job of making the enemy super creepy and threatening, and making it seem like humans are well and truly fucked
it doesn't feel like the show is holding back at all, even though if you go back with hindsight it totally is
I'm only partly kidding, the general Toonami audience loves the edge. They love it even if it's obviously fake and not really there. That's what the general audience looks for, edge. Not writing, not story, not characters, just edge.
It just seems strange to me that people who aren't already up watching One Piece will tune in at 3:00 a.m. for it. Then again, what do I know?
DVR numbers?

I don't want to say the West hates One Piece, but it's too anime to ever really be popular here.
The fact that the One Piece anime has a high barrier for entry doesn't help much either. Some shows you can dive into half way through, and still get most of the plot.
One Piece has such a huge cast of characters, and such a gigantic world that it's much harder.
If we weren't so far in already it would be a lot easier. There's only so much you can expect people to catch up on before it becomes silly. Had we started with Laboon or Whiskey Peak it wouldn't be as bad, but we had these talks a while back and yes they should have started from scratch. Heck, they should have gone from jump and done 2 episodes a week until they caught up. It would have taken about a year to get into Arlong Park and get everyone hooked.
We've never seen anything hit 1 million that deep into the night. Even when the block was longer, the millions died down by 2am. Hell, the 2am hour only a million a couple of times.
I feel like the best place to start, other than at the beginning, would have been the episode where Robin joins the crew. Should have done Jaya/Skypeia first, if only because there's less to catch up on.

At least they didn't start at the beginning of the Skypiea Arc.
Really, B-Dubs? I would think that would be a terribly confusing place to start.

Well, that isn't really a good place, considering that there are two filler arcs and various one-offs between Robin joining and the start of the Jaya arc.

That would've made a bit of sense since OP was taken off Cartoon Network about 1/3rd of the way into Skypiea, but ugh, it was also the arc that made me stop caring about OP for quite a few years.
I do agree on getting two episodes to catch up faster, plus it'd make some episodes not feel as slow because they'd be paired up with another.
Edit: For anyone that has Neogaf++ on their browser, is Quick Reply not working for you? Live Thread is still there, but the textbox on the bottom of the page is gone.
I figure Jaya is early enough to make catching up easy and self-contained enough (at that point in the story) that viewers wouldn't feel lost.
No shit? Fucking hell.
Well obviously.
Which is what we should have done.

So, Pre-Flight's over, and they're showing the 1st episode of Attack On Titan.
What if it's just gonna be Attack On Titan reruns guys, MORE AoT reruns!

I wonder if it's going to be like AoT rerun -> GitS rerun -> etc

I joke about saving One Piece, but honestly, it's a pretty consistent performer that is in no danger of running out of episodes, which makes it - in my opinion - a pretty good middle/back of the block option that you don't have to worry about replacing unless the bottom drops out. Same as Shippuden.
So you get to have some consistency in scheduling which allows you to play around with the rest of the spots available.
That said, nothing is ever guaranteed.

So looks like they have indeed turned the Pre-Flight Channel int a full bore Toonami Streaming Channel.

Maybe not for normal people, but for us it's just a recap!
Funimation just released/is going to release the first dub set that catches up with where they started simulcasting, so pretty soon I'll have seen the entire thing at least once legally.
People may complain that they are still super far behind but honestly they've dubbed a lot of the show!

I'm down with it, should be easier if its always 5pm now. I'm not sure how many people even watch it. At best we could just ask the question of the week here for some of our favorite x
DBZ transcends that
