Me right now looking at the Nintendo Minute Switch unboxing.

I can't wait to break you, Switch.

why call it sword art online when it's clearly Kirito's Harem adventures...and cats.

I think the biggest offense was using the title Black Swordsman.

Seems like a lot of money to make a quick hits youtube video of you breaking your switch day 1

Remember when Gurren Lagann's replacement was SAO season 2?

Pretty big upgrade.

I'm not sure how the writers of Zeta Gundam feel about Char's obvious disguise

like, sometimes they seem super aware of it being ridiculous

but on the other hand he says shit like "HAVE YOU HEARD OF THIS ONE GUY NAMED CHAR AZNABLE? I JUST LIKE TO TELL PEOPLE ABOUT GUYS I KNOW SUCH AS CHAR AZNABLE" and everyone goes along with it

I wonder why Jack is fighting with his sword less?

Perhaps the sword is close to breaking or is losing its magic?

Shippuden as well. I do hope that after Unicorn ends, they air something non-Gundam related just to give the block a break from it.

Eh ratings are alright i guess, and can i just say your avatar is amazing.

 

[Crocodile]

Hell Shippuden of all shows did better than Gundam!

Gundam dragging the block down? Natural ratings variation? Something on another channel competed with Gundam this past weekend?

 

[bigkrev]

Boy I'm glad we will be getting a break from Gundam!

 

[cntr]

the specific ratings aren't too important but I hope that this pushes HxH up to after Jojo

 

[Zonic]

If we got HxH after Jojo, I honestly would probably drop Gundam since it would mean a straight hour of free time before One Piece & GitS.

Not to mention we wouldn't lose the momentum from Jojo when watching HxH.

Also fuuuuuuuuck the fact Master Editions of Zelda got cancelled on Amazon....at the very least, I nabbed a 200GB Micro SD for $65 after the BIGTHANKS promo before it shot up to $92.

 

[cntr]

after this filler arc, aren't we getting Naruto's last good arc?

 

[zulux21]

getting into might be a good statement.
filler hell would be a better statement

Too many viewers of Toonami are weighed down by earths gravity. They will see the tears of time.

 

[Josh5890]

That seems like a pretty big fall from Dragon Ball to Jo Jo

I only pre-ordered the Special edition, but I feel for those who lost their pre-orders.

 

[JadedWriter]

I think earlier this month we already established that most people just watch Toonami for Goku Freecs.

 

[cntr]

that's normal.

 

[Hellwarden]

I wonder, when we get to Stardust Crusaders, and the show arguably gets more shoneny, will it do better or worse ratings wise?

 

[cntr]

Probably better, since SDC is more episodic and will have a better dub. SDC is also a really good group watch show, maybe even better than PB and BT!

 

[Mizerman]

It'll likely do better.

It's more or less the signature arc of the series so I expect it to do a little better but not massively different overall. Ratings have been down YoY overall, so I don't expect any one show to cause a massive shift upsurge. Like, people will definitely check in when AOT2 and OP2 are inevitably aired, but I kinda see what the block has been pulling in recently to be the new standard.

 

[Morlas]

CN has taken a hit in the ratings overall in the past 1.5 years.

None of us will be alive when One Piece 2 airs on Toonami

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Off-Topic is making me depressed, so I'm just gonna hang in here.

Looking at the ratings, I think pushing HxH back to 1:30 was a bad move. It should be right before or after JoJo.

Left out an M, I meant One Punch Man Season 2. lol

TV ratings as a whole have also been on a steady decline. I think that's the main reason DeMarco sticks to his "ratings aren't an issue" stance.

 

[cntr]

It's one of their less talked about tracks, but Built to Last is such a dope Protomen song

I think we're gonna hit a point of "for the fans" projects being funded through things like patreon and kickstarter and sub services on the internet soon enough. I mean there are a lot of great creators out there that I would gladly donate to to make their vision come true, such as genndy and the Megas team.

When the cable balloon has burst, although I would argue that it has already started given the growing number of cable cutters, it will be interesting to see what happens to the infinite number of cable TV channels. There will no doubt be a major restructuring within the industry..Patreon, Kickstarter, ect may become the standard in the not too distant future.

Probably better since it's the one that introduced the series to Americans in the first place & is what kickstarted the power structure for the rest of the series.

Plus the dub will be better since no accents & Viz is doing it.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

New manga from the creator of Akame ga Kill!, Hinowa ga Yuku!

The next phase in the "ga!" saga.

 

[Slamtastic]

you'll all be missing accents once they're gone

imagine how great

Weirdly I happened to cancel my Master Edition preorder earlier tonight anyway.
