Doubt it. People have finished it and not realized that.

Well, consider that the leading and most popular show is Bleach.

Wonder how much of a black hole clone wars will be. Igpx already loses a good chunk of people and I can only imagine that cw won't hold people the way e7 did
I've finished it and I've realized it. I do have a copy of the BD set coming in today though XD. Excited to report how the rest of the english dubbed episodes pan out.
If they don't know by now...

Watch it Seda...
1. Happy birthday Schadenfreude!
2. This statement is wrong, PBR is great. Call me a hipster all you want.
You know it's not THAT terrible until episode 3. Then it sort of... jumps off the cliff so to speak.
I only exist for entertaining. Sort of. At least when Seda's not posting pictures of my twitter.
So to speak
Yup. I thought E7 reactions were great on this thread. SAO is a new age for that shit. Can't wait for every SAOturday.

I will gladly eat crow now for saying SAO would not crack 1M at the 2AM spot. Now lets see if it can keep this going.

It won't. If it does for 3 weeks in a row, I'll eat a hat.

SAO reactions are the best
You know it.

I swear to god that scene absolutely killed me. It was supposed to be sad but it was really funny as hell. It's like none of them had ever played a game before in their lives. Or seen a horror movie, a heist movie, or really any sort of movies that have traps in them. That was so blatantly obvious that I couldn't feel bad for them, they deserved that shit for being so dumb.

Star Wars would probably do worse. I can't say it ever impressed me the few times I tried to watch it.
It's Star Wars. It would do better in the ratings even if it was Episode I/II quality.

I agree with B-Dubs, Star Wars would probably do worse
Which is funny because Eureka was generally considered to be a failure on its initial run. And in both of its runs on Adult Swim, it seems like the final episode was the highest rated in the series.
Pretty straightforward ratings this week. People came to see the big 5 premieres, and Sword Art Online seems to have a following that holds through to keep those numbers up. This week the usual collapse from IGPX was somewhat helped by what seems to be a higher number of people than usual who wanted to stick around to see Eureka. Then as soon as that ended, all but the core audience abandoned ship for the night.
Oh don't get me wrong, it'll have a fan base. It's just it won't be a large one. Everything I've heard, and the episodes I've seen, about the show makes it come off as iffy. It's also too late in the night to get the younger crowd that will tune in religiously for Star Wars and the show does skew slightly younger in it's content. This isn't Genndy style "It's for kids".
Hot damn at the recent ratings. Makes me glad that Toonami is still doing well after their return and hopeful they'll last for quite some time.
& Funimation just tweeted that FMA Brotherhood avatar outfits & props for 360 are now available. I am resisting the urge to get the Alphonse helmet so hard right now....

Oh man, there's another one of these? Excellent.
Wow, that got a dub? Didn't Funimation license that & put the sub on their site last year or so? In any case, I think that would make for a good action/mystery anime. Plus I wouldn't mind watching it again with English voices.
Clone Wars is, as near as I can remember, the only show other than Bleach to air in the 12:00 slot in the last 4 or 5 years. It didn't do well enough to stay there over Bleach, but when it did slip down it only went to 12:30.
That said, that was 2009. No idea how it will do now in 2013. If I had to guess, I'd say it probably won't have much of an effect on the ratings one way or the other.

They did. The dub is...............okay.
I might prefer Ganta as Yukki, of course.
It would be cool if Toonami did Anime reviews, not sure about Japanese ones, but like the way they did for One Piece. ( Similarly )
Hopefully, we get the scenario of Symbionic Titan, ratings-wise and maybe, popularity-wise.

Toonami has been pretty consistent with its drops. So far there are only 3 big ones lately:
My instinct was that IGPX's drop was partially due to how late it was, but it suffered the same level of drop even when it was at 2 AM. There's probably a large number of Toonami viewers who are only there for the "new" stuff and once IGPX begins the run of old shows they drop out. I'm not sure if any other old show could do any better.

Oh, this is really tempting.

What, no Homunculus related attire? How lame
They'd probably get in trouble for offering Lust outfits.
IGPX's drop has been closer to 200k in most recent weeks, including this one.
Why is Roy Mustang's prop a giant yellow cock and balls behind your avatar?
I'll wait for Soul Eater props.

The base 600kish seem to stick with toonami the whole night so I imagine at worst it would drop that slot from igpx/e7 numbers to big o/fma:b numbers. I imagine for a free so they'll be content with those kind of numbers.

I love your timing. Quint = Penta = Five.
Quint-milli? What a weirdo. Penta-mill sounds totally cooler.
Shit, he deserves to laugh. They've got to give him a decent budget if these numbers keep up.

This is the same reason people watched Hamtaro. Effing TONAMI brainwashing people to watch crap.
What hamtaro was amazing. Best animu of all time.
