I always love hurt/heal threads, remind me of the old days of gfaqs
So, 2001?
The fact that anyone over the age of 14 cares about Gamefaqs character battles, or posts on their boards greatly concerns me

Meh, a lot of us have a weird attachment to where we "started". I still look in on GameSpot from time to time for reasons I don't fully understand
Adult Swim to start an hour earlier at 8 PM starting March 31st.
Wonder if this'll affect Toonami in anyway. Would be cool if this meant eventually, they could start at 11 AM.

By what year will CN have zero Prime Time slots? 2017? I'd say that it's too early in my opinion, as kids can still watch TV at 8PM, but i'm sure they have the numbers to back up this decision.

Wha? They're taking over 8 o'clock too? Not that I'm against to more AS, but isn't that a bit too much? I mean, that's a 10 hour AS block now. And 8 PM is way too early to start an adult cartoon block. The kiddies are still up at that time. WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN!?!?!? But seriously, I guess AS is doing really, really well. Maybe now they'll be able to afford to pay the Toonami team. And also that they'll bring back an hour of King of the Hill.

More time for Adult Swim means it will bleed over to Toonami eventually.
10 PM Toonami! Believe.

AS will drop to 4pm eventually and then we'd have a 7pm Saturday Toonami again.

And thus the cycle will be complete.

24 hour challenge. Are you man enough?
I'd watch it/keep it on in the background and turn it off entirely whenever SAO pops on. Even GXP is more grounded in reality than SAO, which is near impossible.
I actually find the boards very useful if I have a specific question on an older game I am playing (and lately, I've been quite the retro gamer). Go to the game board, search for the question, and almost always someone else will have asked it. I suppose I /don't/ post, however.

This part of the NYT piece makes it seem like Adult Swim is doing impressively well, although I admit I'm not in tune with 'TV' numbers in general to have proper perspective.
Those numbers are insane because it's for late night cable, which usually drops off after 10-11pm. Staying consistently above 1mil viewers in such a late timeslot is definitely a good thing for CN and means the block can continue to grow in the future.
Edit: It's even more crazy they are beating out Network TV in the US because you get that for free over the air while you'd need a cable/satellite provider to watch CN. That number probably doesn't even include those steaming it online, unless it's mentioned in the article.
Nice to see them doing well. Not a fan of Adult Swim, but Toonami is a part of it, so it's good for us.

I can't actually parse what AS could do with that extra hr , there are only so many fox reject shows and also kinda baffled at CN . But hopefully this opens up avenues for a toonnami expansion .

Apparently they had/have that in the UK... But it's way different from what we think of as Toonami.

I already made a joke about this the last someone goofed on the time. No point in doing it again
Bring on the 18-19 hour challenge, baby!

Guess that means 11:30 will remain with Toonami even after Dandy ends.

I don't see why they wouldnt repeat dandy be it a 13 or a 26 episode show since like they paid for it to be produced partially no?

I don't think we can make that assumption yet. Nobody here has any idea how much Dandy costs to air or what kind of ad revenue they're making.
I have a hard time believing a repeat of season 1 would appear in the 11:30 slot if they keep it as well, it really does seem weird
This is truly an incredible gif.

EVERYTHING seems to be down. I'd blame the UFC event, but Dandy still did just fine

Can only imagine how the ratings will look during the Winter Olympics in primetime
We'll see how the contract is, but there might be a DVD/Blu-ray release that interferes with repeating it.
I do not think people who watch Toonami also watch the Olympics.
Gucci Messiah

I do
February 22nd might be a bloodbath for Toonami. Not only are the Olympics still on, but Ronda Rousey (who's one of UFCs biggest draws now that St Pierre and Silva are done) is headlining a PPV against Sarah McMann, and it will be marketed around the fact that both fighters are Olympic Medalists (Rousey in Judo, McMann in Wrestling).

Hm. Thought Jack would do better. But then again its only announcement to the general public was the little intro speech

The middle of the block held up surprisingly well, I think things look good going forward when Naruto, GitS, and Brotherhood are able to outperform their January averages during a down week. The back end of toonami is as inconsistent as ever, IGPX, Clone Wars and Inuyasha brought in a combined 1,920,000 viewers two weeks ago but 1,426,000 during the last one...that's a big swing.
No need to worry about the front end, that dip is an anomaly.

True, GitS was pulling in barely over 500K viewers on average at the 4AM spot this year.

I could see Jack breaking 600k on nights were ratings are up which is pretty good for that slot

Remember how in the past when we've had discussions about the back half of the block, and I would say that it's likely that you don't have to worry as much about that? DeMarco confirmed that (in my opinion) with an answer on his Ask.fm page:
(bold added by me)
Not that something doesn't need to perform well after 3am, it's just the expectations for a show at that time are likely far lower than one in the front half of the block.
Anyways, just caught my eye, thought I'd pass along.
Another quick thought: Since he mentioned 12-3, I wonder if 11:30 is still not set in stone for the block.

Ouch. Things are looking mostly down. Dandy is still doing well enough, which is great. And regular Naruto is definitely doing better than FLCL. I will never understand the Nielsen families of America. It's sad that Inuyasha continues going down. I guess people really don't like it.
I plan on watching, but only a few of the events whenever I can catch them.
The numbers still look really good for both cable and the timeslots, even if everything looks down.
I think they are waiting and seeing on how well Dandy performs there and see if is sticks. Also, it may have to do with that being around the time you begin seeing a larger fall off due to viewers turning off and going to bed.

I thought it might beat Brotherhood, but like I said they haven't exactly gotten the word out about it

I remember when Adult Swim used to start at 11 pm.
Then it bumped up to 10 pm.
Then 9 pm.
Now, 8?
That FOX rerun money must be good. >.> And we all know Toonami had to play a big part in this expansion, of course.

Clearly the pacing of it just being on for 30 minutes is bad and needs to be remedied
