Would be awesome, but I personally doubt it.
Did it get dubbed and nobody told me?

Crossing my fingers for another hour of Bleach.
Really.
Really.
Well for one thing filler has the best episodes of Inuyasha while the actual story content gets bogged down in chasing Naraku around while Kagara muses a heel-face turn and Kikyo or Sesshy walk around talking softly.
If your removing fillers, then you can skip basically 90% of the episodes!

Because every 30 or so episodes the plot seems to repeat the same story beats just with InuYasha being stronger and doing slightly better against the usual suspects

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
My man
It's actually weird when you watch the final act and it is suddenly plotplotplotplotplot.

People want to watch InuYasha without filler?

Same with Miroku getting tricked by female demon and Sango saving him while inuyasha and kagome argue if sango likes miroku and vice versa like each other

That's three weeks for Naruto under 1 million
Soul Eater under 700k :/
The One Piece-Soul Eater drop off hurts my soul, that's the best hour on the block.

That FLCL dropoff. Fuck this country's viewers. They wouldn't know quality if it hit them in the face with a midnight blue, left-handed Rickenbacker bass guitar model 4001.
Yea I'm pretty sure.
January it will start out alot better with people tuning in to Space Dandy. Hopefully it does well enough so that the time slot stays with Toonami. The timing really hurts as I always fall asleep during Soul Eater. I love Soul Eater but I do so much school work during the week that I'm exhausted during the weekend and pass out early. Same with alot of my friends.
Edit: I really really wanted to watch FCLC but I was studying all weekend and just passed out during Soul Eater like usual. I will try again this week but I doubt it.

FLCL's drop is a bit surprising. It's been gone for quite a while and they made a promo for it; you'd think more people would give it a look, at least enough to beat Clone Wars.
I also thought GITS might be stronger.

Eh, it's been shown to death on Adult Swim already and the 2:30 slot doesn't help
Mmmm... The Soul Eater and FLCL drop offs are weak.

Don't need to catch up, the recaps will do that for you
But no one watches baseball.

I haven't watched a baseball game on tv since 2000. Going to the ballpark is fun though.
Game did a 7.4 raiting, 12.5 Million viewers.

500k for igpx that's truly going to be a dead slot for the next half year

Not even I am willing to watch that re-run again this quickly. But hey, it's free.

True, but if it pulls down the rankings of Inuyasha then that'll make me sad.
Toonami needs to get on that water 7 promo stat
It's like a rollarcaster. First 167 episodes you are slowly going up, last 26 episodes is the big drop.
This is what I'm thinking. Hopefully the new line-up promo airs during the week, too.
It'd also be cool if at the beginning of December they could start intermittently pushing Space Dandy with a promo that has footage not featured in the trailer. That would build mega hype and bring a lot of eyes on Toonami. I'm ready for that show to create a huge turning point for the block.
You chaps performed your job well. I'll stick to my current backlog of anime, which contains Hajime no Ippo, Valvrave, and Hyouka.

If you're curious, the line-up promo was posted on the tumblr last Saturday.
As for the inevitable Space Dandy promo, remember - they'll be advertising to people who probably haven't even seen that trailer, so it's not crazy to think it might have some of that footage.
Speaking of Dandy, DeMarco tweeted that they were holding meetings with Dandy staff today and tomorrow.

a Water 7 promo would be tough. you can't really show anything without huge spoilers.

that's not really a lot of material to work with, though.
Oh, I definitely suspect any promo they cut will have footage from the 2 minute trailer. I just think it would help to solidify the reality of it being a world premiere/exclusive if the promo they were running had even a bit of new footage, so that when people went flocking to youtube to see it they could also see it's a "TOONAMI PROMO" as well. A small detail that I think could help Toonami's relevancy to the maybe harder core crowd early on. Certainly not that important, and definitely not mandatory, but a detail I would love to see none the less.

Luffy's fight with Galley-La

Say something like
"water 7 is a beautiful city, with a dark secret, and when the straw hats get connected to it, they'll find their friendships tested. Can Luffy and the straw hat pirates discover the identities of the mysterious cp9, or will their voyage end here"
Not really any specific spoilers, but just in case cause some people are sensitive to hinting

hm. i guess that could work, but i still think it seems like it wouldn't offer enough material; i know you're just giving an example, but that's a REALLY small amount of narration compared to how much is in a typical promo. honestly i think they should wait until (spoilers so vague this could probably be untagged)
at least, which is something like a month and a half.
Luffy's first major fight
