Wow, that is AWESOME to hear! How many weeks does this make triple million?

I'm guessing airing that Toonami promo during the earlier episode of DBZ Kai played a part?

Did it beat Bleach's record? That's pretty damn high!

DBZ has already dominated the top five individual total viewer ratings:

1. Dragon Ball Z Kai - Feb 28 2015 - 1,564,000 (12am)
2. Bleach - Aug 3 2013 - 1,559,000 (12am)
3. Dragon Ball Z Kai - Feb 21 2015 - 1,555,000 (12am)
4. Dragon Ball Z Kai - Jan 31 2015 - 1,513,000 (11:30pm)
5. Attack on Titan - Sept 20 2014 - 1,507,000 (11:30pm)

Could have all 5 of those spots before too long.

By the time we are all senior citizens and long after Toriyama has died, people will still be talking about and watching DBZ.

DBZ will never die!
 
Hot damn, the American Dad/ Family Guy lead-in was over 2,000,000 total viewers each - and DBZ Kai only lost ~500K total viewers? That's good. That's damn good.

DBZ KAI BABY

next on the list of really good rating will be G Gundam

Idk which show is more silly and not well thought out

I assume you meant Gundam Wing as that's the show with the build in nostalgia that the Toonami audience will eat up if it ever returns for an encore. G Gundam may be the better series but it's no where near as popular with the Toonami audience.

Honestly I think the bigger surprise is the fact that Kill la Kill is killing it in the ratings as well.

I really hope Gaimeguy posts during SAO 2. Not going to lie. Half the reason I look forward to SAO every week was to see the table flips.

Every time SAO is mentioned, all I can think of is the hilarity of when episode
24
aired & the reactions.

..............now I'm in the mood to read them again.

Edit: OMG & the fact that episode was the first SAO episode for someone on here.

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
I wouldn't advise it. I hear the US Military is using it as a torture technique now.

"Aaaagh! It's so illogical! Why don't they act like normal human beings?!"
"You ready to talk?"
"Urgh... no! You can't bre-"
*shows rapey scenes*
"Okay okay I'll talk!"

We tend to oversell how wretched SAO is. It's not. It's mainly silly and poorly written, it's not a VVVV level hate crime.

SAO2 to air along side Cross Ange & Valvrave.

90 minutes of hate to flow through the block.

...then to top it off, GXP is the show that gets to re-air after DMWL.

SAO is prrrrretty fucking terrible. Its basic world makes absolutely no sense, it's clearly written by someone who isn't coming from a place of knowledge, its characters (being generously labeled as such) serve only as props for its 12-year old boy power fantasy protagonist, and even its own internal moral basis is confused and makes little to no sense, up to and including the completely unwarranted forgiveness of a mass murderer for literally no reason at all.

And that's ignoring all of its other ...questionable attributes.
