My theatre actually had a poster for Resurrection. It was right in the front too, not hidden off on the side of the building or anything.

Then again, this is the same company that aired the hellsing ultimate double feature for free at most of its locations (among other collaborations), so it's probably nerds all the way down.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Man, I really should watch the rest of Toonami that I missed.

 

[BBboy20]

Here's an interesting video showing Space Dandy Key Animation

God I miss this show so much.

Man, I sometimes wonder if an animator every wanted to make an anime in only key frames.

I really want to see Resurrection of F tomorrow but I don't want to drive for two hours so I probably won't.

Is anyone here going to go see it?

Yup!

If you guys have Netflix, check out Sense8. Great, great, great show. The wait for season 2 is gonna murder me.

Seen it ad images of it some time ago. Guess the hype of it might be real.

Like what do you mean? An animation project with no in-betweens? That would look very odd unless you mean it as some kind of experimental thing.

 

[BBboy20]

some kind of experimental thing.

Yes.

As long as One Piece did 700-800k+ we shouldn't be crying about it

 

[Moaradin]

One Piece wasn't listed last week and it did good so I'm not really worried.

 

[Seda]

im bored, here's the top ten in total viewer number

(also noting the total viewer numbers seem inflated this week compared to the 18-49 rating - at a glance anyway)

Dragon Ball Z Kai - Apr 25th - 1,636,000
Dragon Ball Z Kai - Mar 7th - 1,628,000
Dragon Ball Z Kai - Aug 1st - 1,608,000 <--- this week
Dragon Ball Z Kai - Feb 28th - 1,564,000
Bleach - Aug 3rd 2013 - 1,559,000 <-- Aizen defeat episode
Dragon Ball Z Kai - Feb 21st - 1,555,000
Dragon Ball Z Kai - Jul 25th - 1,540,000
Dragon Ball Z Kai - Apr 18th - 1,523,000
Dragon Ball Z Kai - Jan 31st - 1,513,000 <-- 11:30PM
Attack on Titan - Sep 20th 2014 - 1,507,000 <-- 11:30PM (episode 19, which is rerunning this saturday)


the bleach episode is hanging in there

 

[Zonic]

So it did break it, making #3.

& 4 of the top 5 are DBZ Kai, damn. Won't be long until the top 5, let alone the top 10, will be nothing but DBZ Kai episodes.

 

[Grexeno]

What were the ratings like for Toonami back in its heyday?

 

[MetatronM]

Michiko has been pretty surprisingly strong ratings-wise. Quite honestly, in spite of how much I like it, I expected it to be a bit more of a letdown coming off of DBZ and KLK, a la Black Lagoon, but it's really held its own. I don't think too many other shows have been as consistently solid in that third slot. It does help to have two hugely successful lead-ins, though. I think the fact that it's genuinely completely new for the vast majority of Toonami's viewership really helps, too.

It will be real interesting to see what happens to Michiko's numbers when Akame ga Kill is its lead-in.

There was a BIG UFC event this weekend

 

[ckohler]

Agreed. I also wonder if Akame ga Kill will hold the same ratings as KLK. I know nothing about the show but I get the impression that it wasn't as popular.

 

[Grexeno]

I think Akame ga Kill! will do comparable numbers to Kill la Kill.

 

[Seda]

some random poorly written uncapitalized musings

i think i prefer pre-frieza-encounter namek saga to the frieza encounter, or at least more than goku vs frieza

somebody once said that 'kill la kill' doesnt really have characters or plot. that seems apt to me. none of the character really have depth and development is mostly hamfisted but some of the personalities might be endearing. mostly there just to take a ridiculous premise and run with it. that said i feel the drama in KLK was easily the poorest element. comedy and outright wackiness are what the show did alright at. i probably prefer it to something like attack on titan which is all melodrama all the time.

michiko and hatchin - i kind of like how the overall narrative is often given through context and not straight exposition. one thing i'm not quite sold on is the big picture. i'm not really invested in the pair finding hiroshi. also the tone feels odd at times. why did michiko hold the bullfighting charade for so long? yeah she was in danger but i felt like she put more time into fighting the bull than getting out of the ring and towards her real objective of finding boss-man and hatchin.

it's almost impressive how bad sword art online is

merry coming to the rescue is not an asspull

 

[Soulflarz]

If someone asks me if they should watch SAO, I say yes, so they can form their own opinion on it. Either they love it for reasons and thats all cool, or they hate it and have a hilarious few days watching it and going what the hell every 5 minutes. I still love first-time hatewatches almost as much as I love watching a good show.

Black Bullet may be under Sentai, but it is not dubbed. Automatic rejection. Also,

Oh man, enjoy the like 12 episodes of good Shippuden, because after Immortals Arc is like a 25-episode filler arc.

First audition at Funimation today. I think it went well! Nervous as all get out though; show is kind of a biggie. Here's hoping!

I wonder what character/show he auditioned for....

Watch it be One Piece.

Dragon Ball.

At least the side characters get fights and the villain in that arc is kind of interesting... that kid with her, though...

 

[Grexeno]

Dragon Ball.

I'm pretty sure all of Kai has been dubbed already.

 

[BatDan]

I'm pretty sure all of Kai has been dubbed already.

Dragon Ball Super.

For real though, he probably got a role in some small 24 episode show that only the hardcore are going to see.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Dat pentagon million. I think the last time we had one of those was over a year ago (March 2014).

Spoiler

I totally thought M&H would be low because of the way the plot is presented.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Is that our first quintuple million in ratings?

If so,

 

[Grexeno]

No.

 

[Raxus]

This is like our 3rd or 4th quintuple. DBZ has been very kind bringing in the viewers.

 

[Seda]

toonami had 5 millions on april 25th, six millions last november 22nd

 

[Imperial Bishop]

I guess that means viewers only watch Toonami for DBZ and the start/end of new shows.

Wow, he was at San Japan over the weekend also? That's pretty neat.

I got some goodies to show y'all later when I get home. First, I have to say that the people waiting in line for Steve Blum was beyond insane. Good thing I chose the alternative and got Mary Elizabeth's instead.

Toonami viewers are the worst...

It's probably the time of night. The 18-45 demo is pretty solid.

 

[BassForever]

Akame Ga Kill should slip into KLK's slot and do comparable numbers. I can see it being like deadman more popular with western audiences then it was in Japan

First up:

 

[Zonic]

So new Attack on Titan game confirmed. Being made by Omega Force, i.e. the Dynasty/Hyrule/Pirate Warriors games.

......so Titan Warriors? Also if it's basically Dynasty Warriors, but I can swing around a la Spider-Man 2: The Game, I'll be sold.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Merry coming to the rescue isn't an asspull but it's still a pretty dumb.

 

[Grexeno]

Merry to the rescue is always going to feel like an asspull even though all logic and foreshadowing dictates it isn't.

 

[B-Dubs]

Merry coming to the rescue is a "cry manly tears" moment and that doesn't do well with the Toonami crowd, god-forbid something not stylish and edgy happens.

 

[Raxus]

I can see why some would consider it an 'asspull'.

Personally, as a long time reader of the manga it was just one more detail that, when revealed, made perfect sense in the universe it created. Of course the Merry was part of the crew and they were making a huge deal about it come Skypia when it was undersiege. All the stuff set up post Skypia and Water 7 just fleshed out that idea. It also lends more weight in the Usopp and Luffy fight and Luffy's decision to abandon the Merry.

 

[BassForever]

I find it far more of an ass pull that after taking a 3rd of Lucci's ultimate move Luffy could then still stand, use a jet gatling which Lucci had already taken fairly well before but this time it dominates him because nakama power.

i was actually going to say this

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Zoro and Sanji's new techniques in this arc are closer to asspulls than Merry.
