The weird thing is that they stopped dubbing it after season 2... but they are still dubbing the Equestria Girls movies (high school human AU), which all take place after season 3, and thus feature major changes on the pony side that are never explained to Japanese fans. Judging from fan art, it appears Equestria Girls is proportionately more popular among fans over there than it is here.

Remember when Cartoon Network made a cartoon based off a J-pop band?
Those were simpler times?
Oh man, I remember watching this quite a bit when I was a kid. Even now, I have no idea why someone decided to make a show about them (seriously does anyone even know what they've done outside of this and the Teen Titans (Go) opening?)
Kinda weird that this March 11 date is confirmed, being reported by big outlets now, but Jason hasn't said anything about it. He's most certainly gotten questions about it.
Trigun appeared on the April Fools Toonami lineup. And also Badlands Rumble aired.

Holy shit really?! damn that was impressive of them back then, didn't even notice.
One gets the feeling that this stuff was supposed to be announced on, like, Pre-Flight and just slipped out.
Obligatory mention of EE&E Japanese dub.
Yep. As a consequence, that's pretty much why he didn't appear in many episodes after he joined up.

So I have a question for ToonamiGAF. Of the Lupin the 3rd specials/movies released by Discotek that are still in print excluding Cagliostro, Jigen's Gravestone and Voyage to Danger (I already have those) as well as First Contact (Which I'll be getting) which one would you recommend?
4 years justified
...What do you mean, evil?

Okay, so I know I asked this before and I sorta left you guys hanging but this time I really do need help. Does anyone have Best Buy GCU?
Cagliostro is the one made by Ghibli & is rather good.
PLUS IT HAS SOLID SNAKE AS LUPIN!!!
Edit: Damn it, didn't see "excluding".
I have both GCU & Amazon Prime. Need to get something for 20% off?

True... but I think it's closer to what we think of as Lupin than the manga, 1st series and Fujiko series are. It basically set the tone for series 2.
Series 4 was god tier btw. Best anime of last year.

I've been waiting for the dub to be released before I dig into it.

Some Toonami-gaffers are probably having a great time playing RE7, Yakuza 0, Dragon Quest...
...and I'm just sitting here trying to get these FUCKING OVERWATCH SKINS!!!

I still have Yakuza 3 & 4 sitting on my PS3 via PS+. I just never got around to them because of knowing how much of a time sink they are.
Hoping after Gravity Rush 2, I can work on a backlog item or two in Feb. before the Switch + Zelda is out. Or at the very least, get back to FF15 with this Chocobo Carnival event & finish Ch. 9 since I stopped due to not being able to figure out how to reach an area to get a hunt.

So Funimation's Broadcast dub of Fuuka is starting tomorrow. Debating internally whether or not I want to go down that road.
Looks like ratings were down overall, but people predicting that Super would lead to some sort of Ratings Renaissance jumped the gun it seems.

Probably to satisfy Toei who wanted it on a kids channel.
I feel like you guys worry about ratings too much, lol
Didn't the Toonami history video mention that the old ratings for the timeslots used to be in the 200,000s?

I wouldn't be surprised if the 8:00 airing quietly switched to airing repeats at some point

I suspect the Women's March played a role in the low ratings.

lol So many people tune out for One Piece and come back for One Punch Man.

I'm not too surprised at Super's ratings when we're in a retelling arc with a bunch of episodes that focused on nothing but comedy.
Once we get to where the action starts and hit the new material the ratings will likely increase accordingly.

The reason we worry is they could do 800k viewers minimum with reruns of Family Guy they already paid for, instead of spending money licensing new anime

Ratings were likely down because of the march and just natural variation
i choose to pointlessly rationally blame this on the DB hour & that the audience is finally realizing the fact childhood nostalgia is not always as good as it seems, so they're not staying around & therefore ruining the ratings of the actual good shows like jojo & hxh
obviously, i came to this conclusion afterno much deliberation
......or some real life stuff was more important than watching cartoons, i don't know

Better ratings for american dad than jack
fuck this world
Prediction posts for March 4th weekend:
"play Zelda, or watch Toonami...."
"sorry, too busy playing Zelda"
"will be playing Zelda on Switch while watching Toonami"

I mean, maybe, but Adult Swim doesn't seem to be worried about Toonami's ratings atm. So I don't see any reason to worry right now.
But if I want to pretend I'm watching I can just use my Wii U.
It even doubles as a remote and gaf viewer!
In all fairness, we seem to have an "off" night at least once a month or so. & last week was double millions.
As long as DB Super stays over a million (& there's no logical reason for it to be under that, like a real-life event, holiday, or marathon), there's really nothing to truly be worried about.
As for a different topic, guessing the next marathon will be April 15th due to Easter. Willing to bet they'll make that a Super marathon.
Edit: Hmm, GitS might get a marathon as well (memorial day?), but I wonder if they'd do that since it's in the rerun slot.

Gon is OP as fuck if he could carry Kurapika, Ponzu and Leorio over his head while holding his breath for over six minutes while running.

Toonami is more likely to become an entire block of dbz kai and super episodes before it becomes an all family guy block.
I'm probably going to say something like that.
