They would never put an old rerun like SAC in front of Tokyo Ghoul
...They're not premiering a show at 3:00am no matter what.
In a perfect world it would be.
Granted in a perfect world you probably wouldn't have lost one piece in the first place.
Tokyo Ghoul is probably going to get 1:00 AM or maybe even 12:30 AM.
Kinda where I'm at actually. I don't dislike One Piece but I'm not enamored with it enough to read the chapters.
As for Tokyo Ghoul, by all accounts it's bad, but maybe it'll keep things a little fresher having another rotating show. How many episodes of Tokyo Ghoul are there?
Just two seasons being 12 episodes each, so it's not all that long.

Demarco: "Silly internet denizens, ratings never matter!"
UGH. Nothing I've heard nor the little I've seen of Tokyo Ghoul makes this seem like a good trade-off

When was the last time we had an edgy show? Akame Ga Kill?
I guess we were due for another.
Granted, Tokyo Ghoul kinda earns its edge I think? Maybe.
BTW, Akame Ga Kill ends with Tatsumi
Just so you know.

stuck as a dragon, but Mine is cool with it, and they still have kids somehow.

Attack on Titan s2 should come sooner then later as well wonder how it'll fit in
They could hold onto 11 for a while with it.

at least Naruto is likely on thin ice at this point
though again its pedigree may save it unless things really start to tank

I'm trying to find a Tokyo Ghoul gif that wouldn't be spoilerish, but they're all Tumblr gifs...
I doubt they can hold 11, even for something as anticipated as AoTs2. I think jack is only getting it simply because it was an adult swim endeavor, and probably gets special treatment because of it.

Sounds like it was more than just ratings. & they said it would cost too much to air One Piece after GitS, which....we've learned to not air a rerun in front of a premiere.
Edit: DeMarco has confirmed we're getting both seasons of Tokyo Ghoul & if you were wondering, they'll be uncut.

They HAVE to be moving Naruto back. Putting anything after Shippuden at this point other than a vintage AS show (like Stand Alone Complex) is absolute death.
One Piece and Shippuden should have swapped places months and months ago.
Uncut uncut? I thought the base form of the anime cut stuff from the manga, you can't really uncut that.
Naruto is simply more popular in the west. I really don't think swapping would do anything.

I suppose as uncut as they can get.

Tokyo Ghoul's anime is so terrible lol. It's popular at least, I guess.
Naruto has frequently gotten ratings on par with HxH and even better every once in a while. It ain't going anywhere any time soon.
Funimation honestly should just star Simuldubbing One Piece. It, my Hero Academia, and Attack on Titan are their biggest draws so they should be taking advantage of it since Toonami won't be airing it anymore after tomorrow.

TBH, not even mad. Yes, One Piece was about to enter one of its big arcs, but it's easy enough to find dubbed, and it was slow paced in the anime anyway. And it was only going to get slower after.
This offers more room for a wider variety of shows which will be nice. Hopefully after the Pain arc, Naruto follows suite.

Take a look at Naruto's ratings. They're not good, especially if we're using One Piece's ratings as a "needs to be kicked off the air" threshold. Naruto was basically treading water right above that (which is why One Piece's numbers have been doomed for a while now).
Eh, it's the anime version of Tokyo Ghoul that wasn't very good. The manga blows AgK (both versions) out of the water without even trying.

Shippuden's ratings has pretty much been close to HxH's though. Using that as the basis, Hunter Hunter would also "be in danger."
Woah, the timeline couldn't get this bad could it.
My expectations for Tokyo Ghoul are low. I get are real "generic anime" vibe from it. It burns that One Piece is gone but it burns even more for it to be replaced by something so mediocre looking.
The only single plus to loosing One Piece is we get more chances for premiers. But why'd it have to be One Piece?!

HxH's doing "fine" but not spectacular compared to some past lineups we've had.

And Shippuden's ratings has consistently been around the same levels as HxH. People just straight up tune out for One Piece. It was apparently a few months ago when the One Punch Man reruns were getting better ratings.
Yeah, this is kinda my reaction as well. Sure, it hurts. But to have a show with no end in sight versus another slot for rotating new shows, I think I'd take the rotating slot.
On that day...we lost Clone Wars. V_V

If toonami could work it out with viz they should skip the rest of shippuden and air a simuldub of boruto
Yeah I wonder if they'll put Tokyo Ghoul in front of Jojo, as Jojo's ratings don't live up to what One Punch Man's did. Tokyo Ghoul's wont either, mind.
My understanding of Tokyo Ghoul:
- it's popular with teens, like with my little sister who collects the manga (which it'll be interesting to see if she'll care about watching it)
- the manga is actually alright
- the anime kind of "dumbs"/tones down some stuff, but the first season is okay
- 2nd season was bad
But I guess to look at this from a more positive light, this could mean we now have another premiere slot & not as many "long running Jump" shows.
....wait, Tokyo Ghoul is part of Young Jump, a spin-off of Shonen Jump, & is basically Seinen Jump.....& ran in the same magazine as other stuff like Himōto! Umaru-chan, Minamoto-kun Monogatari, Terra Formers, B Gata H Kei, Elfen Lied, & Gantz....okay, then.
Though I wonder if Tokyo Ghoul will take 12:30 or 1 a.m. I feel like 1:30 would be a bit too late for an anime that premiered in 2014.

Now, friends, buck up. We all need to look on the bright side here.
...
Maybe this means we can finally replace the One Piece slot with Fairy Tail.

TG was very popular. Remember how sky high AGK's ratings were for those first few weeks? Might do that again.

I know it still is one of the better selling manga in the west along with OPM and AoT.
I wouldn't be surprised if it premiers ahead of JoJo since Demarco has mentioned before that it's been one of the most requested anime for the block.
