A brand new season of Samurai Jack is being made for Adult Swim Toonami. Coming in 2016.

Last week was our first week back from the marathons, and ratings were a little flimsy. This week things just get worse. AgK barely touches the million mark, and Parasyte hits a new series low. The pain doesn't stop there, Champloo takes a huge dive and poor numbers follow for the rest of the night. A bad week or a new trend? Only time will tell.


12:00a Dragon Ball Z Kai 1275 0.60 767
12:30a Akame Ga Kill 1017 0.48 607
1:00a Parasyte 902 0.43 548
1:30a Samurai Champloo 769 0.38 478

2:00a Naruto: Shippuden 687 0.33 420

Is anyone else nervous that CN/Toonami is going to go back downhill this year? Remember: the "sixth" year of a decade tends to be the apocalypse year, or the "666" year.

In 2006 (pic related)...
>Shows such as Cow and Chicken, Time Squad, Looney Tunes were removed.
>Jim Samples went senile.
>CN aired the Re-animated movie.
>Saved by the Bell ran on Adult swim for April Fools'.
>Commercials with terrible characters like Fred Fred Burger and Cheese were spammed to appeal to middle schoolers.
>Inuyasha, Teen titans, Justice league unlimited, and others ended, severing all ties with the early 00s.
>CN really pushed that Ben 10 shit, even though nobody liked it.
>Adult Swim stopped the chill Japan bumpers and replaced them with clips of their characters doing wacky/lolrandom things.

In 2016, something will happen, though nobody knows what.

I only watch Toonami for DKZKai and Parasyte. I only watch DBZKai because the only saga I saw in its entirety during its first run was the entire Majin Buu saga -- other than that, I had only seen a smattering of random episodes that were the original Saban/Ocean/Funi dub. I watch Parasyte because it's interesting and different. The rest of the shit I don't care about. Kill La Kill was okay, though. I missed on some other stuff, but whatever -- if I'm really interested in something, I'll just look it up and watch it subbed.

>>78932980
And this is the issue Demarco pretends isn't one. The lineup sucks ass, but Demarco thinks the viewers will watch whatever the fuck he throws on. For awhile this did work, but since there is no hope of the block improving, people are less inclined to watch the shit

>>78933229
Picking up Champloo is a real display that he has no clue what the viewers want, or just molds the block into his own personal taste dumping ground

Anyone who believes the Fujiko Mine cover up is retarded. If KLK was slowed down by network worries when no actual nudity occurs, there's no way they spent more than 15 minutes with Fujiko Mine

With KLK the issue was, "how much of this can we air unedited?" Assuming Fujiko was legitimately considered, I'd imagine the issue for that would be, "how much will we have to edit, and will it be worth our time to do so?"

I'm not even dissing Naruto and One Piece fans, but we have to come to terms and understand that Toonami runs on one day a week, and having long running shows that literally have no end (One Piece) and shows that have endless filler with little to no hype (Naruto) will not fare the block well. Not to mention that viewer interest will wane, you can't just skip 300+ episodes and begin in the middle of buttfuck nowhere with a foreign show and expect people to flock to that shit. Not to mention it has a shit slot next to its long-running companion.

I understand Naruto on the block but I really cannot justify One Piece's existence on the block. We literally only have 3 and 1/2 hours, and to have 2 slots filled with polarizing content is not good. I understand when DBZ Kai ends they should switch in Naruto, but where the block stands right now they would be better off just replacing it. I'm not even trying to bait or piss anyone off but its just reality.

fuck champloo.

>>
I'm willing to bet that long shows make more fiscal sense.
Look at what happens with the shorter series like SAO or Attack on Titan; you have to reair them multiple times (which nobody wants). They don't have the budget for new shows in their place which means reruns in order to make that money back. With a long running show that's circumvented, but that means that part of the block is going to be taken for years on end.

So I guess the question is what would you rather have, reruns of average shows over and over, or mediocre long runners?
>I want good shows.
Then get to torrenting. Most of they companies that would do business with Toonami are smart enough to know that the vast bulk of A-List stuff is for Blu-Ray release, not for TV.
>>
>>78936706
That's wrong, it's the distributors that do the damage. Aniplex paid Toonami to air SAO, and gave SAO2 for a fair price.

Funimation raped Toonami on AoT and fucked them on Hellsing, which forced AoT reruns.

3am is always gonna be a rerun, Demarco is too cheap to get something new there when a rerun does just as good

The block is shorter now, and we have 8+ marathons per year, and as a bonus barely utilize Blum anymore. They have NO excuse for not being able to buy shorter shows.

>>78936706
Demarco has said before long shows cost right about the same as shorter ones. The reasoning for longer shows is some form of block stability and laziness to cycle in new shows and make fresh bumpers etc

>>78937253
You didn't explain shit, you mongoloid. Fuck off back to reddit already. Toonami is clearly not for you.

Whenever the block schedule changes they redo all of the show bumpers so your last point's invalid.

Between Naruto and One Piece the series that should go really is Naruto. The series is already over in Japan, and the anime is literally repeating the endless filler that they did when the first series ended. (There's at least another year of pure filler planned, right in the middle of the fucking final fight.) One Piece only has a couple of small filler arcs left before it resorts to only padding out episodes, which is better than endless LET'S ALL SING THE FROGGY SONG for years on end.

plus if viz wants to stay on the block it means hunter x hunter more likely than not, and that's like a good naruto/sao/dbz/hikaru no go/presidential election in place of terrible naruto
>>
>>78938252
Not him, but last year there were periods where they didn't update them.

That aside, his point still stands, picking up less shows means making less new bumpers
>>
>>78938394
It's a tough issue. On one hand, One Piece loses filler, but padding becomes even more prevalent. 7+ minute recaps become the norm. Naruto has tons of filler, but minimizes watching the same shit 2-3 times in recaps and flashbacks

From a popularity and ratings standpoint, One Piece loses on both fronts, atleast on Toonami.

Lastly, Naruto is 3 weeks away from airing episodes never seen on TV before. There's no way we toughed it out for 2 years just to cut it loose now
>>
>>78931291

Demarco and Funimation fucked over Dandy completely with Attack on Titan stealing the first slot.

>>78938817
Dang it, we toughed out all that filler in the first series to drop it right before getting to Shippiden, so we can drop it before getting to new to TV plot relevant episodes if we want to!
>>
>>78938914
For once, we can't blame Demarco for that. Having AoT right out front was 100% Funimation because they wanted max shilling for AoT Blurays

But nobody is watching One Piece. Hell, when they gave it the early slot with Kai it still bombed in ratings. One Piece lost it's chance to be something in the west the minute 4kids got their hands on it. I have accepted this and so has a few others. It's you guys and Demarco dragging it into the unwarranted limelight that need to let go.

Champloo is good, but the ratings are crap because most of Toonami's audience has seen it already. DeMarco of all people should know better, but he's too busy gushing about how it's one of his favorite shows.

One week isn't something to go on, but have a look at this weeks ratings and you see that has some truth to it. All the cheap shit Funi has and they pick a rerun because MUH WATANABE.

People may say M&H was boring, and I don't really disagree, but it pulled respectable numbers every week because most of the viewers haven't seen it before. In the Internet age, being a rerun block will kill it quick

Yeah literally anything else would do. I don't understand why they'd show shit they've played before.
I feel like the people who vie for shows on Toonami are the wrong types who take the time to go through the Adult Swim forums and RWBY fans.

Anything classic or anything new and not poorly written like Space Dandy would pull a straight 180 for Toonami.

No, but it's the ratings of an episode that everyone saw 8 years ago airing at 2:30am on a fucking Saturday.

Those fans are dead. Early on when everyone hated it except for a small few they were a pretty easy going group provided you didn't mention the 4Kids dub, which to their credit a lot of them were able to laugh at, but when the Whitebeard War arc started up and all the bandwagon jumping began the ship was sunk.

Oda himself even admitted that the series Naruto is more popular than One Piece in other countries. That came straight from the Horse's mouth. One Piece is a smash hit in Japan but everywhere else it's considered mediocre.

It was free to watch legally for the longest time dub and sub too. One Piece's ratings are low because these episodes are eight years old and its fanbase doesn't give a fuck about supporting a TV airing when they're busy fighting other battles like convincing Bandai to release games or trying to get FUNimation to license the older movies.
>>
>>78942664
You are a real dense motherfucker, aren't you? Any other circumstance would get One Piece booted off the air. You should be thankful Toonami is made for the fans because if this was a business deal like other networks/blocks, One Piece would have been taken off on it's 4th run at most. What is it about this you are not understanding? So you better care about the "stupid" ratings watchers because if it falls too short you'll this show cut if some suit says to.

Nothing that gave us Space Dandy is a mistake, anon. In fact, for all the shit it's given us, I'd say that it's worth it for:
>Dandy
>Intruder II
>Reviving Jack (I think Toonami existing as a platform for it is part of the reason it's happening)
>Some fucking hilariously awful moments in shitty anime like SAO being laughed at as a group in the General
And honestly, overall, there's been quite a few straight-up good shows on the block since the revival, and personally, I'd never seen many of them before (Soul Eater, Michiko & Hatchin, Casshern Sins, and currently Champloo, for example), so that was a good experience.
>>
>>78943404
Are you implying these episodes of One Piece aren't in the same boat?

Look, the main issue here is OP will NEVER end its Toonami run. That slot is gone forever. Swapping it out for shorter shows helps combat stagnation, and with its mediocre ratings not many will complain
>>
>>78943554
Dandy would have happened anyway. Intruder 2 was a mediocre disappointment that was just used as a canon excuse for Demarco to do less work. Jack is probably the only thing Toonami has helped with, and we have no clue if it will be good or not yet
>>
>>78943555

>Look, the main issue here is OP will NEVER end its Toonami run.

Good.
>>
>>78943592
Toonami actively helped fund Dandy, if I recall, and got a really good Simuldub to go with it. Without Toonami, it may not have had as much money, and the dub would definitely have come out a while later (if at all) and might not have been as great as it was.
>>
Guys I think I have found a pattern. OP pulls shit ratings weekly, but has done slightly better than KLK so no one really talked about it. This week KLK did slightly better, and the thread is in an uproar. The same thing happened when AoT was doing better than OP.

Sure most of its bait, from both sides, but when the show after OP pulls higher ratings, shitposting increases immensely

As a neutral party on the issue, here are my observations
>they are fans of the series
Pretty obvious, if it's your favorite show you wouldn't want it cancelled.
>they think it airing will be its big breakthrough in the west
I don't know how people can still hold on to this hope, it's airing at 2:30am once per week, and in 3 years has not shown any signs of finally getting that western breakthrough
>they figure it blocks something worse
Let's face it, if they do pull it, 1 of 2 things happen. One, the block gets cut again. With the recent ratings for the entire second half, I wouldn't be surprised. Or 2, Demarco being the cheap shit he is, grabs another long runner, more than likely being Fairy Tail

That's about it
>>
>>78944016
You know how every week there's people who assure the entire thread that TONIGHT will be the night that One Piece is amazing, and every single time it's mediocre as usual? Those are the people who want it to stay. They mistake hype parts of the manga, that usually happen within 12 pages, will be decent in the anime, that has to make those 12 pages into 22 minutes
>>
>>78944016
Because even at the anime's grueling pace, it's still easier to get through on an episode-by-episode basis than Shippuden, which is only really enjoyable on those rare occasions when a canon episode gets a budget boost.

On a related note, it's funny how people always give One Piece's ratings such shit, but the drop between Shippuden and the show before it has always, ALWAYS, been drastically larger than the gap between Shippuden and One Piece. Granted this week that's a bit deserved since KLK scored higher, but you never see anyone calling for Shippuden to be removed despite steeper ratings drops.

If I'm being completely honest my wanting the show to succeed in the west so that it insures games and other merch gets localized is the only reason I even watch Toonami.

Yeah, I've seen those episodes, but I've seen all the other shows as well already and don't even care that much about them since casuals will insure Attack on Titan and Naruto swag for years to come.

And I'd honestly even rather watch its filler than Shippudens. I watch the full block each week and fuck if I can tell you what, if anything, happened on Naruto last saturday.
>>
>>78944175
Well, before being moved down to give the short premiers a better air time, Shitpudding used to pull semi decent ratings, One Piece has done mediocre since day 1.

I don't know why it's even a talking point, the only way either show will be pulled is with absolutely abysmal ratings since Demarco will protect both of them as long as he can. Gonna take a higher up intervention to get either one off the air
>>
>>78938394

But to this day, we don't even know who has the rights. Funi lost out, so I'm thinking that it's in a Hitman! Reborn situation where there is no dub, but streaming rights, which explains how Netflix has most of it.

I dunno, when you factor in that Oda is a workaholic who only gets three hours of sleep, barely spends any time with his family, and has worked himself into exhausting to the point of where he's had to be hospitalized several times last year alone, it's kind of hard to envy his lifestyle.

Other equally or older shows have nostalgia on their side.

Look I know it gets thrown out a lot and dismissed just as much but 4kids fucked up One Piece's chances in the west really bad and Toonami didn't help things at all, even when it was back on prime time. They have no problem saying going "Naruto is Uncut Now!" but comparatively it wasn't cut even a third as much as this show was.

There's a reason that people still make meme jokes about the 4kids BITE OF GUM GUM dub every week. That was the first impression, and first impression is the strongest.

And yes, also the art style isn't traditional "anime", so all the kids with deviantart pages and yaoi fangirls are turned off. And those are rather huge chunks of the anime supporting public.

Oh fuck, thanks for correcting me. If I was Funi, I'd be pissed off. They would've been able to get YYH fans to buy the blu-rays and have been okay.

>>78944361

This. In hindsight, they should've started off from episode 1 to shake off the reputation that it had, but that probably would've been worse for everyone longer-term. From the work that Oda has put in, it really seems like OP has more heart behind it compared to Naruto, but such is life. You think this is the last year or will it get snuffed out when Jack finishes?

Honestly both options would have fucked it, episode 1 would have put us millions of miles behind, there's already no hope of catching up from our current spot. But starting midway through, no one formed any attachment to the series

Anyway, Toonami has its ups and downs. Ratings are bad this week, but nowhere near panic tier. If these numbers are a recurring trend, that's when it's time to worry.

That said, I do think Champloo will be a liability its entire run. Whatever they announce to replace AgK is really gonna have to hit it out of the park to get the hype train moving again

Not the anime, and not its place on Toonami.

The manga is stellar though. Take your pic for example, on Toonami that's 3-4 years away. It just doesn't work

Hopefully that one anon makes a new image soon. Then people can post that - I think Naruto will get a boost once we get to the Sasuke stuff.

>>78944619
Personally, I'm enjoying One Piece's run on Toonami. I'm a big One Piece fan, I don't have to stay up too late, and I actually think it's a really good dub, so it's good background noise.

I mean, the only show I really paid full attention to on Toonami was Michiko and Hatchin, because it's the only one I haven't seen before. Well, and Akame ga Kill, but I'm really not interested in it.
>>
Oh god it's true OP fans are fucking delusional. I really thought it was just fun to troll while pretending to be a OP fan.

I still don't know how to feel about the fact that despite the manga being so popular world-wide, I just can't fucking enjoy it. Everytime I try and go back and get into it, it's like when I tried to force myself into Homestuck

Who told you can't skip around? You can skip around all you want. If you want the story to make sense and want to know and love the characters, I don't recommend it.

It's definitely going to end. There is an ending and the journey is getting there.

Anons on 4chan, randoms on forums, heck you just told me that I'm not going to get attached to characters if I skip around. But I'm already not attached to Luffy and Nami after 10 chapters (though I do like Zoro)

And One Piece has already outlived Naruto, I know Oda said that getting to the ending is what motivates him to keep writing, but the massive amount of chapters doesn't do me favors in wanting to get into it.

Success isn't respect or admiration for the author though. As far as I could tell One Piece won one award in 2012 and that's really it.

Really I'm just wondering where those comments come from of his being greatly respected or loved, or what have you. Specifically from his peers, since I think we all know that fans are more often than not a detriment to creators.
>>
>>78954346
Toriyama and him seem to be on good terms. Him and Kishimoto seem to have had a friendly rivalry going. That's all I really know.

Also I disagree. One piece has been the best selling manga in japan on several years. It doesn't really matter how many awards it makes. It makes a lot of money so I'd say it's damn successful.

oh definitely an avengers. I'm not even gonna pretend it's not. One piece isn't ground breaking. It's got a lot of flaws and it's far from a perfect series. But I doubt that's what he set out to do in the first place. One piece simply is one the many shounens in japan that seems to have its own charm to it. You become endeered to the world and characters but if you were to talk to me about how deep the characters are or how amazingly written or paced it is, I'd only say it's "Pretty good" or even just "it's not bad".

One Piece is a manga that simply succeeded in what it tried to do. But critically, I'd say it's nothing to special. To be fair, though. There's not a lot of weekly shonen manga I'd say are.

Did you really need to ask a question you could have had answered with one quick google search?
The One Piece manga was a finalist for the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize three times in a row from 2000 to 2002,[136][137][138] with the highest number of fan nominations in the first two years.[139]

The German translation of its 44th volume won the Sondermann audience award in the international manga category, a yearly comic award given in seven categories by the Frankfurt Book Fair, the Frankfurter Rundschau, Spiegel Online and Comicforum, at the Frankfurt Book Fair Comics Centre in 2005.[140][141]

In a 2008 poll by Oricon, Japanese teenagers elected it the most interesting manga.[142]

One Piece was nominated for Favorite Manga Series in Nickelodeon Magazine's 2009 Comics Awards.[143]

In 2012, One Piece won the 41st Japan Cartoonists Association Award Grand Prize, alongside Kimuchi Yokoyama's Nekodarake Nice.[144]

Da Vinci magazine named One Piece number three on their list of 2013's top manga, which was voted on 4,619 professional book reviewers, bookstore employees, and Da Vinci readers.[145]

On June 15, 2015, it was announced that Eiichiro Oda and One Piece had set the Guinness World Record for "The most copies published for the same comic book series by a single author."[146]

Even though I appreciate One Piece's success and can understand it's high status in Japan and in the Anime/Manga community. The argument here is that to the western audience it's trying to attract has clearly no interest in it and that is shown with it's American T.V. ratings. But honestly, it being taken off Toonami is not going to dent it's popularity at all. If it's sales we declining in Japan that would be something to really worry about.

Though, I would say the reason it sells so much is BECAUSE it's paced and written better than every other shonen manga out there.

I'm not even gonna pretend that Dragonball, Naruto, or Hunter x Hunter have character moments or themes as well written as One Piece. Nothing else in it's 'demographic' even comes close, dude. What are you smoking?

I mean, it speaks volumes that American fans thought Fishman Island was lame because most of them let the themes and overall point of it go right over their heads and could only talk about the punching.

I'd say that was it but you guys don't bitch half as much about Shippuden, you didn't with Bleach, and even DBZ Kai which supposedly has all the padding taken out, still hasn't actually blown up Namek yet.

So yeah, I have a hard time believing it's just the pacing. The pacing isn't great, but other shows get a pass on it all the time.

>>78943554
Yeah, the first couple years of the revival were grand.

Especially before the mods cracked down on funposting.
>>
>>78956300
I'd argue that Naruto is actually paced worse because when Naruto does filler, it gives him bullshit training arcs. Which never actually amount to new skills or growth, because they can't deviate from canon. One Piece does filler too, but at least they don't dress it up as the characters training new skills that they'll never use.

And it bugs me because Naruto had the potential to be the better series of the two by far.

I'd argue it's better than naruto, I guess. I'd say dragonball definitely has character moments on par with one piece although usually they tend to be smaller moments and not the main focus.

Here's the thing though. I'm not comparing One Piece to other Shounen. I'm looking at one piece critically as a piece of art.
Fishman island has a cool theme, but once you get into it, it's just racism. Like it doesn't really go much deeper than that and I'm not even sure if they could've. Hell. Super Mario Super show had a racism story. I like that Oda even had the balls to tackle a story like in a weekly manga for young boys and it does very well to set the tone for the whole arc but that's about it. The strawhats are basically simplistic stereotypes until the story demands their character have a strong opinion about something. Everything is very simplistic and easy to understand which is fine because it's made for young boys and big character moments tend to only come at times when it's necessary or changes something significant.
>>
>>78956454
Fairy Tail has more fap bait though.
Actually now that I think about it that'd probably mandate a few edits and cuts, especially later on.

You know the series is heavy with the stuff when even the characters go "I've seen you naked a billion times, why are you freaking out?"

That's not fair. Naruto gives you reasons to like characters too. They're just not the main characters, so they only show up in filler or once every five years. That's the real problem.

Make the show about like, Shikamaru, Hinata, and Rock Lee. Then it'd be ten times better.

I'm honestly inclined to believe the Champloo pickup was Funimation dicking around and not taking their 15+ year relationship with Turner seriously anymore.

>>78957027

I'm sure I could turn that into a number if I cared.

>>78957027
I don't think about it in terms of numbers.
>>
>>78957117
then you're not helpful to me.
>>78957108
so episode 329, a perfect number.

So here's the question. What should Toonami actually be? What is its main goal? Should there be an emphasis on newer shows, or older ones? Right now it's sitting at Three mainstay shows, one new show, and one rerun show.

As a viewer, this doesn't look very appealing to me. One could say that DBZ, Naruto, and One Piece are legacy shows. They're been airing since 2005 (or 1998) that it's tradition to have them there. But what this means is that, for the rest of Toonami's lifespan (however long it may be) you will only have an hour on the block to devote to anything new, half an hour if one show is always going to be rerunning of an older show. Toonami will die before it gets to the current episode of One Piece or Naruto. I'd rather have new shows in the place of the legacy ones, personally, but costs more than likely won't allow it.

The issue with long runner legacy shows is that we're really far behind in them. Anyone who cares about these shows is already caught up, or at least further than we are now. A smart network would at least skip filler episodes so that the story moves quicker. If toonami had the funds or pull they'd ideally be showing two of the mainstays nightly so that we'd catch up faster. Of course then it'd be on funimation and viz to start dubbing one piece/naruto/DBZ at the pace of a simuldub and considering how large the cast is for that, including one piece, I'm sure they're not in any hurry to do that.
>>

>>
>>78958841
one thing I'd like to add is that the long runner legacy shows have a lot of filler, and showing only 1 episode per week really slow things down.
I remember they used to show 1 hour of OP or Naruto per week, that sort of works, but when they had most of the night.

They could probably cut a deal for the DIC/Cloverway Sailor Moon dub. God knows it's better than Crystal and I'm sure they can get it cheap. Especially since it's money that Toei could make off a franchise who's big revival turned out to be a HUGE flop of epic proportion.

When One Piece returned to Toonami, Funimation should have tossed in a couple of clip show specials recapping the series up to the start of the Toonami return episode as part of the deal. Air the clip shows as specials THEN start running the main series, to get everyone caught up. `

Never, it would have probably never passed the censors (at least in America since it aired on a childrens time slot in Japan [Yes, even episdoe 34] and aired in some parts of Spain), but that's why I feel it's so perfect for it despite it's infamous dub (at least amoung the community, it's actually pretty standard for the time). Specially since it's kinda a "known but still cult" anime that came out on that generation of anime Toonami became famous for airing, so it has nostalgic appeal. And even if I don't wanna admit it, it would be perfect to get those tumblr viewers the block seems to depend on.

Just like Deadman Wonderland, Casshern Sins, Fullmetal Alchemist, Samurai 7, Eureka 7, Soul Eater, Clone Wars, Blue Exorcist, Attack on Titan, Samurai Jack, Gurren Lagann, Kill la Kill, Inuyasha

Yeah, there's never been a lot of crossover between Toonami and Netflix before. It's not something that often happens.
>>
>>78970654
You phrased it as something appears on Netflix that it will for sure end up on Toonami soon.
>>
>>78971221
most of those animes were first on netflix and then appeared on Toonami when a spot opened up. If the dealer is making deals, they'll make deals with both netflix and Toonami

Now what was the time difference in the acquisitions of those shows on the two platforms? I apologize for saying that never happens, I meant to say that since Netflix just got it, I doubt they'll turn around and send it to Toonami

Yea ok. The tits look nice, in the outfit atleast, I'm sure they aren't so great without massive support. And I can see her fat guy through the outfit, so I'm sure that's even more gross without it

Netflix doesn't have any part except whether or not they themselves have a show, it's the distributor that decides if Toonami is paying enough for it, and they'll say yes to both

If you want one last piece of jelly, and the last good memory I have of this

while we were at a local con together I made her wear the tennis ball dress without anything underneath. The bottom of her ass was visible at all times and I'm sure there were a few motions where everything was visible for a few seconds
