Where's that anon who said 1.5 million people were watching Super at 8?

And how many people believed him?

I just wanna see the ratings, I really don't care about this gloom and doom you feel obligated to post every week.

>>89045346
No one did because there's no way to know viewership numbers during airing

>>89045389
Well Demarco, I'm sure you get the ratings delivered to you desk every week so you don't need to come here. If you want more positive notes, build a less shitty schedule that will pull better ratings

>>89045237
So how many of the 8pm watchers would have been at the 11:30 showing if the 8pm one wasn't there? Im sure there was a lot of people who watched both not expecting a rerun

HAHAHAHA WHERE ARE YOU PEOPLE AT THAT SAID THESE THINGS?

>>89045237
Damn. Million plus ratings for 8:00 and 11:30 Super. Bretty good.

Shame the block fell apart after Jojo. Gundam did shit, and One Piece did atrociously.

8 PM hour on weekends is fucking STACKED now:
>Saturday
8:00 - Dragon Ball Super premiere
8:30 - Samurai Jack
>Sunday
8:00 - The Brak Show
8:15 - Space Ghost Coast to Coast
8:30 - Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law
8:45 - Sealab 2021

Sure it's blatant nostalgia pandering, but I vastly prefer it to FOX shows.

>>89045652
I keep seeing this with no real source. TVGuide has nothing changed

>>89045775
I felt the same way but it's up on the backdoor schedule now. Jack will probably last but the Sunday schedule won't reach February

>>89045775
Nigga, it's real:
http://www.adultswim.com/adultswimdynsched/asXml/15.EST.xml

Adult Swim changed the schedule last Thursday, so I doubt cable providers have updated theirs yet. Mine still said IBO was on instead of Unicorn.

>>89045820
>I felt the same way but it's up on the backdoor schedule now
It was always up on the backdoor. That's where the info came from in the first place. The only reason people doubted it is because some moron thought the backdoor was fake.

>>89045584
The 8pm numbers are good but the 11:30 really isn't. 1.3mil is pretty pitiful for something that had so much hype and advertising for it

>legitimate celebrities shill Toonami
>still get trash ratings

>>89045847
True, but maybe people got confused over the fact that the new episode was technically at 8 on their cable box, so they watched that.

If it had just premiered at 11:30 without the 8:00 showing, I guarantee you it would have easily gotten between 1.5 and 2 million viewers

>>89045931
Yea I believe it. Starting Toonami off with a rerun didn't work so hot last time

So when Stardust Crusaders ends, are there any chances Diamond is Unbreakable's dub will be ready?

>>89046090
Pretty much 100%? Viz already has the rights, it's already over in Japan, and Stardust Crusaders is like a year long.

Wish they would reair Space Dandy at 3 desu

>>89045483
> I'll try calling them DeMarco, that's a neat trick

Grow up, your gimmick got old and and nobody likes you trying to spoonfeed "Toonami is dead" every week.

>>89046090
M8 we don't even know if we are getting SC yet

>>89046236
I only post the facts m8, if the ratings were actually good this week I would have acted as such. If you want a hugbox that wanks off poor ratings as acceptable I suggest a trip to Reddit is in order for you

>>89045389
Then just look at them on programming insider.

>>89046237
It'd be really surprising if we didn't, it's literally Jojo to most people.

>>89046058
When will Demarco learn?

>>89046314
It's most definitely a Toei requirement, they should have either expanded Toonami to 8 (ha) or put it in the rerun spot to bolster ratings there.

>>89045237

Very interesting look at last week. I hope people stick with Unicorn, since it has more action than IBO did ultimately. Nonetheless, gloom and doom aside, we've reached a (mostly) steady equilibrium.

>>89046378
Right? I get having DB there for the kiddies and toy sales, but why a first run episode?

>>89045237
The other thing to remember with Unicorn is that Unicorn starts pretty late, after Jojo.

>>89046273
If you hate Toonami so much just stop posting the ratings, you've clearly given yourself unreasonable expectations that the actual block will never be able to meet. Just fuck off and leave the rest of us alone.

>>89045564
DB Super is garbage. Toei might have had properties like DB Super and SM Crystal spread like wildfire and really rake in those nostalgia bucks if they had invested real time and talent into it, but they always cheap out

>>89046411
Yeah but Episode 2 is a lot of setup and exposition. Episode 1 actually had a ton of action, opening with terrorism, then the Marida v. Job John battle, and the Unicorn flying around.

http://www.adultswim.com/videos/schedule/
So Jack is reairing again. And with any luck, Super as a lead-in will give it some solid ratings.

Fucking nips, don't they know how American tv works?

>>89046618
Should know how faggy Toei is already.

>>89046456
I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around Super so far. You have plots like the GoTrunks stuff that's wackier than most of the original manga, and on the other you have the more traditional plots like the tournaments and Goku Black. But it doesn't feel like there's sufficient buildup for those more traditional arcs, so they feel out of place in a show who's only impetus to exist was as a recap of the movies.

Anything that comes on past midnight will always get "trash ratings". If bad ratings were so damned important they would have stopped with anime on Saturday nights ages ago but they kept at it regardless.

>>89046576
Considering the Jojo dub is more than a year old I'm surprised it's doing as well as it is. Stardust Crusaders would probably be a premiere, so it'd definitely do better.

>>89045652
>8:30 - Samurai Jack
Does this mean they're gonna rerun Samurai Jack until they premier the new season? As in, the new season airs directly after 52.

They need to rerun both seasons of Black Lagoon including Roberta's Blood Trail

Now if only Toonami had a real set of brass balls they would air all of Speed Grapher uncut like IFC did a few years back. Thank you, IFC, for getting me into an awesome anime.

Hell, they could even go old school and scoop up The Irresponsible Captain Tylor since TOM loves the theme of space so much.

>>89046834
No because that means it wouldn't air until next year. It's probably just a hype builder.

How far into part 2 is jojo on toonami?

>>89047411

We just got past the 3rd episode of Part 2 on Saturday.

>>89047411
Two eps.

>>89046378
Or just have Super at 8. It doesn't HAVE to be on Toonami

>>89046432
How about you fuck off? I want the block to succeed but Demarco keeps fucking it up. If you note I actually praised Jojo this week after months of shitting on it because it actually did good in comparison with the shows around it for once. I'm not against praising the block performance but I'm not gonna sit here and lie because it's hurts your feefees.

Like I said, if you wanna jerk off Demarco and pretend these numbers are good then go to Reddit where they do that every week

>>89046788

This applies for all shows, I hear it a lot for HxH and Jojo too. Shit, for all we know people thought IBO was still airing considering all the ratings sources list it as that

>>89047795
At least Dragon Ball Super is technically more adult content wise. The first three episodes so far are TV-PG-DV, TV-PG-LV, and TV-PG-LS, respectively.

>>89047822
All sites that post the ratings had it listed as IBO, if they don't fix it neither will I, too lazy. It still gets the point across

>>89047930
Compared to Kai, yes.

Even Shippuden has a TV-14-DLSV rating coming up, but it's still meant for little kids.

Let's face it. Adult Swim shouldn't be airing anything TV-PG and very minimal numbers TV-14 if at all possible (preferably ones that are TV-14-DLSV, which is one step away from TV-MA). This goes for their comedies too, but especially the anime. Nobody wants to see little kiddy shonen crap.

>>89047925
When AS announces they are making the rest of the anime from where the old one left off. No filler, excellent pacing.

i detest long runners but would welcome this

>>89047991
Well since it's already full, I guess they will stop :^)

Toonami just needs to stop filling the schedule with Shounen trash.

>>89047990
This. A good portion of the shows on CN clock in at PG. There is no reason those should be on AS unless it's one of those oddball shows that has a PG rated episode even though everything else in the series is 14-MA

>yfw they changed Jack from Y7 to PG purely so it wouldn't look like kiddie shit was airing on AS

Still waiting for Fairy Tail. We all know it's going to happen eventually.

>>89048071
There's a difference between Adult Swim TV-PG and Cartoon Network TV-PG.

Do you really think this would fly on daytime CN?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fSoYOyxfS0

>>89048071
You can make adult-oriented humor with requiring it to be overly explicit, edgy, or offensive though. That kind of logic is how we end up with garbage like Mr. Pickles.

Plenty of the early AS shows were PG/14 are were clearly for older audiences even though they weren't that heavy on swearing, sex, violence.

>>89048282
Mr Pickles is actually a really good show. Don't let /co/ memes tell you something is bad

Samurai Jack is coming in March. Screencap this post.

>>89048238
>links to probably the only AS tier episode in the series

Yes, that could be the lost episode like every other CN show has. It doesn't nullify the fart and booger humor of the rest of the series

>Think about Adult Swim/Toonami the other day.
>Original programming.
>Fresh shows.
>All that effort put into bumps and trailers.
>Toonami now.

What's the point?

>>89048613
>Yes, that could be the lost episode like every other CN show has
What about the episode where McGuirk takes the school nurse home with him? Or where a naked woman comes on to him? Or where the same woman returns later and engages in foreplay with him while he's dressed in woman's clothing until he has a heart attack? Or McGuirk in general being an alcoholic? Yeah real kid friendly.

>It doesn't nullify the fart and booger humor of the rest of the series
I seriously question how much of this show you've actually watched. The only instances of any of that type of crude humor is in the 5 UPN produced episodes, with the majority of it confined to the original pilot episode.

>>89048559
the pilot was unbearable, I find it hard to believe the show is decent

>>89047990
Eh, most of the shonen shows have scenes that wouldn't fly on Cartoon Network at all. Hunter X Hunter especially, it gets bad enough that it had to be moved to a nighttime block in Japan too.

>>89048704
You don't have to watch more than 10 minutes of the show to know it's absolute shit.

And tv viewers agree too. That's why it was cancelled twice and banned from ever rerunning on Adult Swim again. Not even 12 Oz Mouse or Assy McGee have been banned. That's how bad Home Movies is.

>>89048238
Are you joking? Home Movies is LITERALLY a kids show. It fucked aired on Cartoon Network. The only reason Adult Swim kept it around was because they were desperate for filler.

>>89048694
That's the price of success. Once Futurama and Family Guy hit and brought mondo ratings, that became the new expectation. Since very few AS originals can compete, and since they lost Futurama, it became the Seth block.

Same happened with Toonami, ratings took precedence over airing actual good shows

Literal transcript of dialogue from "Home Movies":
>"Ew Jason, you smell bad!"
>"That's because I have excema"
>*audibly farts*
>"Jason! Gross"
>"It smells like eggs!"
>"Eggs-ema! Get it?!"
>"Jason, that's disgusting!"
>"I can make the poo go in and out of my butt"
>"Jason, stop!"
>"Whee! The poopy! I can feel it!"

How can anyone tell me with a straight face that this is a program targeted to mature adults?

>>89048810
Actually a bit different with Toonami. Ratings took top priority, but more so to prevent hasty cancellation and replacement with Seth content.

>>89048704
>What about the episode where McGuirk takes the school nurse home with him? Or where a naked woman comes on to him? Or where the same woman returns later and engages in foreplay with him while he's dressed in woman's clothing until he has a heart attack? Or McGuirk in general being an alcoholic? Yeah real kid friendly.

These never happened. You're making shit up to give HM more "cred" as a "legitimate" Adult Swim show. It's literally straight TV-PG across the board. No "D" (Dialogue), "L" (Language), "S" (Sex), or "V" violence subratings at all.

Literally aside from that one episode you posted, there's absolutely no swearing in the show at all. The worst thing they say is "crud" and "sucks". There's no sexual dialogue scenes or references or "nudity" whatsoever. Not even any mild violence. And the Coach isn't actually an alcoholic. That's just a retarded fan theory stemming from his irreverent behavior. They never explicitly mention him ever drinking alcohol (because this is a kid's show).

And don't forget that at the very crux of the show, the entire basis for the humor revolves around booger, fart, and poop jokes and cliche kid-friendly storylines.

Give me ONE good reason they shouldn't pull One Piece after this arc.

This is coming from an OP fan who keeps up with the most current chapter of the series, so don't accuse me of bullying OP

>>89048810
> ratings took precedence over airing good shows

So you're gonna say the year of NuToonami were the result of carefully-curated lineup picks and not the result of budget limitations?

>>89048810
It would make more sense to spin-off Toonami into it's own network. Bring back lower budget, highly creative stuff. Shit, Toonami Aftermath does a better job than Toonami does, desu.

>There are people STILL defending Home Movies.
What's their endgame?

>>89048958
Are you joking? There's a fair amount of swearing in the show from not only the adult characters, but Brendon too. Hell, damn, bitch, bastard, and bleeped uses of "tits", "dick", "shit", and "fuck".

Several storylines also revolve around McGuirk's sexual exploits with women and he frequently obviously appears drunk, visibily drinking, and/or hungover the show and making reference to drug use, often in front of Brendon and company.

Also, there's an episode, where McGuirk is hallucinating out in the woods and sees visions of his own decapitated, bloody head and students hanging from trees, among other things.

So yeah, no it's not a kids show. And having watched a vast majority of the episodes, I can attest that the crux of the show is not "booger/fart/poop humor", however the fuck you got that idea is beyond me.

Clearly you haven't watched Home Movies at all beyond maybe half of episode 1.

Little Witch Academia on Toonami when?

>>89049209
never

Netflix owns the rights.

>>89049021
NuToonami was a ridiculous ratings improvement over ASA. Even with cheap shows

>>89049209
It's a longshot, even without taking into consideration that Netflix has their hands on the show. It's just barely outside the boundary of genre stuff that's good for Toonami imo.

>>89048792
>Home Movies is LITERALLY a kids show. It fucked aired on Cartoon Network.

So is DragonBall.

>>89049049
>There are people STILL salty about Home Movies' ratings 5 years ago and spouting inherently false claims about it in an anime thread on a Mongolian image forum in order to slander a show that ended 13 years ago

Look, I've been watching AS, both comedy and anime for years, and I can't believe how ignorant some people still are.

It's always the same autist who thinks any show that isn't TV-14/MA is inherently meant for children and spouts the same "home movies is booger fart humor for little kids".

And literally this is all because people were butthurt about it airing on Saturday nights YEARS ago. Home Movies was an AS' staple long before Toonami returned and will continue to be so long after this block gets replaced with Cleveland Show reruns.

I'd be fine with Big O if it started at episode one, which I think is possible now.

>>89049314
>And literally this is all because people were butthurt about it airing on Saturday nights YEARS ago.

Yeah. One because the show fucking sucks. Two because Adult Swim put this pile of shit on directly in front of Toonami THE NIGHT IT CAME BACK and it absolutely tanked in the ratings. It never even made it above 500,000 viewers. Conversely, when it destroyed the ratings and made viewers tune out, it destroyed the ratings and made viewers tune out for Toonami for that first months. It was in danger of being cancelled again because of that pile of shit.

>>89049572
Home Movies always aired on Adult Swim though. So the comparison makes no sense.

>>89049634
>Two because Adult Swim put this pile of shit on directly in front of Toonami THE NIGHT IT CAME BACK
That's wrong though. It was at the beginning of Adult Swim replacing an episode of King of the Hill. There was still a buffer zone of FOX shows between it and Toonami. With the exception of Boondocks and Black Dynamite, Adult Swim has never aired comedy originals outside of that first hour since Toonami's return.

>it absolutely tanked in the ratings. It never even made it above 500,000 viewers

Again, this is completely false. Here are the actual ratings from its airing:
05/26/2012 0.5 692,000
06/02/2012 0.4 592,000
06/09/2012 0.5 660,000
06/16/2012 0.5 836,000
06/23/2012 0.6 841,000
06/30/2012 0.5 779,000
07/07/2012 0.4 647,000
07/14/2012 0.4 594,000
07/21/2012 0.5 706,000
07/29/2012 0.4 524,000
08/04/2012 0.4 503,000
08/11/2012 0.5 741,000
08/18/2012 0.5 654,000
08/25/2012 0.4 591,000
09/01/2012 0.5 692,000
09/08/2012 0.6 769,000
09/15/2012 0.5 837,000
09/22/2012 0.5 768,000

And here's the ratings from when it briefly returned to the same timeslot the following summer as interim programming before (if memory serves me right) The Venture Bros began airing in that spot:

05/11/2013 0.5 693,000
05/18/2013 0.5 679,000
05/25/2013 0.6 847,000
06/01/2013 0.5 866,000
06/08/2013 0.7 885,000
06/15/2013 0.4 637,000

Because it was Sunday night. They knew damn well no one was watching AS while Fox was on.

>>89050420
I miss that slot. Season 5 before Toonami was a great watch.

>>89050894
They did it on Saturday too, no? Or maybe I'm confusing it with another original.

Either way, the early airings were edited for anything too risque, iirc.

How come home movies couldn't hire decent animators? Every single episode looks like it was animated by a mentally challanged stroke victim.

>>89048071
according to the AS schedule it's still rated TV-Y7
>>89050420
>With the exception of Boondocks and Black Dynamite, Adult Swim has never aired comedy originals outside of that first hour since Toonami's return.
From what I remember they've also aired R&M, Robot Chicken, and Metalocalypse on Saturdays past 9pm. Rick and Morty is back with the new schedule too, for an hour at 9:30. Hope that gets replaced with Bob's desu
>>89050849
They censored TV-MA episodes to make them at most TV-14-DLSV.

>>89051359

Because it started out in Squigglevision.

As for the whole "Home Movies revolves around booger and fart humor" claim, this video here has pretty much every instance of any "potty humor" from the show, which only ever involved Jason:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSimBCOj_Rg

In fact, as you can probably tell from the crude use of "squigglevision", all these these instances are from the first season of the show, half of which was made and aired on UPN and the other half, written but not animated until production on the show resumed in 2000 with the intention of it being Adult Swim's lead program.

So, let's do the math here. At 13 episodes and approximately 22 minutes each, the first season of Home Movies has a 286 minute runtime. The video posted above has a 5 minute 5 second runtime. So scenes containing the use of 'grossout humor' make up a 2.04% of Home Movies first season.

However, let's not forget that Adult Swim commissioned 3 more seasons of Home Movies, which drastically departed from tone and style of the first season and certain "young-male skewing" elements (particularly present in the original 5 episodes) that UPN had insisted on. These Adult Swim seasons were marked by a new team of writers, new production company, creative oversight from Adult Swim's Khaki Jones instead of UPN execs, a switch to Flash animation, larger focus on serialized storylines and underlying themes present throughout each season, etc.

So, let's do some more math here. Given that the additional 3 seasons of Home Movies have 39 episodes with an approximate 22 minute runtime, it would seem that we need to add another 858 minutes into the equation.

All in all, the math shows that the scenes with 'grossout humor' in the first season represent 0.5% of Home Movies in its entirety.

There are a lot of legitimate reasons why people don't like Home Movies, but to shit on the show because it "revolves solely around around booger and fart humor" is ignorant and flat-out wrong.

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

>>89050786
Nami, Robin, and Carina's outfit are half the reason to see the movie.

>>89050551
It's fucking bait, like anything that paints a "negative" ratings show. Regardless of how your tastes were, IBO certainly did better than Unicorn, and Unicorn had the luck of being better animated and starting with the Jegan fight.

>>89051382
>They censored TV-MA episodes to make them at most TV-14-DLSV.
Yeah, there was on TV-MA episode that got edited down to TV-PG-DLSV

>>89051382
From what I remember they've also aired R&M, Robot Chicken, and Metalocalypse on Saturdays past 9pm

Oh yeah, I forgot about Rick and Morty. That was just because the show was a big hit (though it didn't do so hot on Saturdays). Metalocalypse and Robot Chicken were as I recall VERY SHORT-LIVED experiments in filling out the earlier schedule with originals that failed miserably. Not to mention that this would have been before AS got the rights to The Cleveland Show (those were the days) and Bob's Burgers.

In fact, part of the reason why they slotted Home Movies back in the summer of 2013 was because Bob's Burgers came to Adult Swim right at the same time.

>>89051529

Ugh, Cleveland Show. They don't still air that, do they?

>>89051359
try watching an episode past the upn 5 and/or season 1

>>89051546
Yup. Nearly every night of the week. Two a night some nights.

>>89051382
>Rick and Morty is back with the new schedule too, for an hour at 9:30. Hope that gets replaced with Bob's desu
Yeah. Honestly, I wouldn't mind maybe ONE half hour of AS originals at 9 since it's far enough away from Toonami not to affect ratings, but why Rick and Morty? They tried airing one episode on Saturday nights in a bunch of different timeslots and it didn't work. Now they're doing two episodes that end an hour before Toonami starts? That's a dumb move.

Adult Swim is going to rerun Rick and Morty into the ground. Mark my words. It doesn't even get half the ratings it does in premieres as it is.

Hell, they already tried doing this in the Summer of 2013, where, no joke, they aired the same episode of Rick and Morty at 9:30, 12:30, 3:00, and 4:30 on Sunday nights.

>>89051646
And these were episodes that were already been rerun ad nauseum after the season ended in Spring.

>yea whatever it won't be on the air again
Somehow that morphed into HOME MOVIES IS BANNED 5EVER. Then years later someone asked about it again and Demarco gave another vague lazy reply that was pretty much lol no it's not

>>89051747
You got memed son.
Home Movies actually started airing again in the 4 AM slot on weekdays for a couple weeks and got similar ratings to those listed >>89050420: ~550k lows, ~800k highs.

For my money, I'm pretty sure that's on par if not better than most of the stuff that usually airs in that slot (repeats of Infomercials, Off the Air, Fishcenter, other specials, Xavier Renegade Angel etc.)

>>89051646
>they aired the same episode of Rick and Morty at 9:30, 12:30, 3:00, and 4:30 on Sunday nights.

I remember that. I almost gave up watching Adult Swim completely because I was so pissed.

I don't think they even had any premieres on Sundays at that point. It was just FOX reruns with a Rick and Morty rerun thrown in there from 8 - 12, Robot Chicken and live action reruns with the same Rick and Morty rerun thrown in again from 12 - 2, and then it repeated for the rest of the night.

>>89050420
wtf these are pretty good lol

>>89052044
not really. they aren't bad ratings, but they aren't particularly good. mostly the problem is that they're all over the place. one night it's at 885,000, another it's 594,000. it's way too inconsistent.

>>89045652
That little block they are gonna do on Sunday will likely be dead within a month. The nightly episode of Space Coast at 1:15 is already bombing hardcore, so I don't see these doing any better especially in place of FOX shows in an already difficult timeslot with no promotion. Sorry folks, but that's the way it is. Modern AS viewers don't want Space Ghost and Birdman, they want Cleveland and Family Guy and maybe Robot Chicken or Rick and Morty.

Jack on the other hand is a similar situation, though it's probably more popular than the OG Adult Swim shows and has more mass appeal and wide-reaching nostalgia for most viewers. Not to mention it has the Super premiere as it's lead-in, which pulled in over a million. If that keeps up, I could see the Jack rerun doing fairly strong. Or strong enough that they keep it on the block at least until the new season of Jack premieres in March.

>>89052257
There's just no way it lasts. The casual viewers will tune out en masse when they discover its not a FOX show airing and the potential oldschool AS fanbase most likely won't even realize these shows were back on the schedule

The real question is why the fuck is Netflix waiting to air the entire season rather than each episode as it airs?

And don't say that they only ever upload full seasons 'cause they released weekly episodes of the talk show with that awful woman.

>>89059652
Because Netflix's business model is all about rushing through shows, to squeeze that extra subscription out. If they stuck to the weekly release model, people might get bored and unsubscribe before the show is finished releasing.

>>89059015

>>89071038
The thing is, Home Movies isn't even back.
It only got brought because we were talking about AS airing shounen programs and some autist claimed that all TV-PG shows are inherently meant for kids only and cited Home Movies as an example of Adult Swim airing a supposed "children's show".

>>89045237
>GiTS SAC will replace OPM on February 4th. Just what we need, another rerun that has aired a million times.

Why not just rerun Season one of IBO. Or ANYTHING ELSE.

Better yet, just do what Toonami has done with other shows like GITS and just licence the us rights to ALL of Gundam for at least a decade.

Offer to dub every Gundam series for international export, throw a shitload of cash of Bandai/Sunrise and get ALL of Gundam plus Outlaw Star and Silent Mobius (which they could probably get for pennies) and just keep at least one Gundam show on the block forever.

It's not like Toonami isn't going to get every dubbed Gundam show anyway.

>>89071261
That autist even made several threads about it the first time he complained

>>89071038
At least some of the more autistic responses in this thread shut down a lot of the autstic meme-bait claims being made about Home Movies in the first place.

I have no idea how it even became a meme in this general in the first place, but the level of autistic and sheer retardation surrounding it is astonishing. That shit should have died out years ago.

>>89071363
Yeah, mindlessly shitting on Home Movies and making up dumbass things about the show was stupid back when toonami first came back and then somehow it returned with a vengeance in like the last year or so for no real reason whatsoever.

As far as TG-related memes and shitposts are considered, it's one of the most asinine and arbitrary.

>>89071038
I don't even understand why this started again. Home Movies isn't even airing. After not airing for 3 years, it was on briefly at 4 AM on weeknights in September for Adult Swim's 15th birthday, but hasn't been on since.

Honestly, I don't even understand why it started in the first place.

I wouldn't say "problem posters", per say, but they shouldn't worked up over low effort bait posts that are so obviously false, it's clear they're just trying to get a reaction.

Though to be fair, in older threads, there were definitely people who were adamant that Home Movies, back when it aired on the same night as Toonami, got the lowest ratings AS had ever seen and that it had somehow caused Toonami to almost get canned again.

Fine. Watch as I'm proven right.

As sure as Home Movies on Saturday got the worst ratings Adult Swim has ever seen (often less than 100,000 viewers per episode) and is banned from the airwaves forever, the nostalgia block too will receive record low ratings for that timeslot (most likely between 100,000 and 300,000, but possibly below 100,000) and will be gone by next Saturday. Mark my words.


Samurai Jack airings at 8:30 on Saturday on the other hand will receive excellent ratings of 800,000 - 1,000,000, making the failure of the Sunday block even more apparent.

Hunter hunter fans level with me, what is your major malfunction? Week after week of IT GETS BETTER. Well, an entire regular series worth of episodes has gone by, when does it get better?

Are you talking about >>89075042?
Because I don't think anyone in this thread thinks it's going to be a ratings smash. As long as those shows end up on par or close enough with what the ratings of what usually airs in that slot (approx. 500k - 700k), they'll be there for a month or two.

What I find funny is that everytime AS airs an original outside of the 12 - 1:30 block, people in these threads go "Oh it will get record low ratings".

Look at Home Movies. You people shit on it about ratings all the time, but >>89050420 is about the same as what King of the Hill has gotten in that same Saturday timeslot for the past 3 years.

>>89075801
>"Yup, these will bring in the ratings!"
You deluded fuck. It's not going to be like Super level ratings on Saturday and beat out FOX shows. It will get ratings that are just passable enough to occupy that slot.

THAT's what we mean, whereas you faggots seem to think it will get sub 100,000 levels of viewership and be taken off immediately and that's just ridiculous.

The only reason you're doing this is because you dislike the shows and think it "deserves" horrible ratings and have convinced yourself that that is the only possible scenario.

Hell, I'm no fan of 12 Oz. Mouse, but even that has gotten million plus ratings at 4 AM, so that should tell you a lot about any standards about perceived "quality" affecting viewership among AS watchers.

>>89076075
>faggot can't just scream and yell about Home Movies
Home Movies is an absolutely abysmal piece of shit, by far the worst thing Adult Swim has ever aired. It also began tanked Toonami's ratings THE WEEK TOONAMI RETURNED and was responsible for Toonami's near cancellation a second time. Any true Toonami fan should still be salty about that.

>but scream about all the old adult swim classics
While they are marginally better than Home Movies, they're still pretty shitty. Take off your nostalgia goggles and see. They'll absolutely bomb in the ratings (especially because they're airing during normie McFarlane rerun hours) and will be off the schedule by next ratings thread. I guarantee it.

>>89076397
Well I guess you made your decision already? I don't agree with you, but I'm not going to try and convince you about a magical point where its going to click for you. By now the show already click for me but for you its different.

My point was more that its episode 33 in a show that's 148 episodes, so saying "These characters are filler" is ludicrous when you're not even halfway into the show.

Ok folks, here's the final word on the whole Sunday night AS nostalgia block:

Think about the reasons why Adult Swim is doing this. Nostalgia is big these days. Lots of reboots and remakes in tv and movies. TeenNick created a late night block dedicated to airing older Nicktoons. MTV Classic recently launched featuring old music videos and MTV shows like Beavis and Butthead and Daria etc. Nick at Nite has come back into the late night cable ratings game with a vengeance. Even sister network TBS has seen that decades old reruns of "Friends" and "Seinfeld" are as consistent as they ever were.

Now look at Adult Swim. It's ratings in 2016 were down from the year before, which was down from the year before that. A lot of longtime Adult Swim fans are miffed over how the stagnant and overwrought with FOX reruns the schedule has become in recent years. Not only that, but many were disappointed that last year, Adult Swim not only did nothing for April Fools, but nothing for it's 15th anniversary as well. This is why Adult Swim has finally gone the way of nostalgia night aka a sort-of revival of the 2008 "oldschool fridays" (though only 1 hour instead of 4 hours).

And it's not like the shows they're airing have done THAT poorly in ratings. Brak, Sealab, and Harvey Birdman all had multiple episodes with over 1 million viewers last time they ran in the 4 AM "DVR Theater" slot.

True, Space Ghost has returned to weeknights at 1:15 AM, and, for the first week, has gotten average ratings of 712,000 viewers (700 + 750 + 734 + 664). This is certainly down from what that timeslot usually gets, but not outside of the normal range. Adult Swim even aired a bump after these episodes the first week saying something to the effect of "Even if we don't win the ratings tonight we want to thank you for being a loyal viewer and we're proud of the way you watched". However, if the ratings dip in the coming weeks, it will probably be moved into the 4 AM DVR Theater slot.

>>89077252

Now as far as the Sunday nostagia block goes, it seems like Adult Swim really wants to give this a chance. It's already listed on the next three Sundays until the end of the month.

I would wager that unless it does absolutely record-breakingly awfully in the ratings, as in sub-100,000 viewers (which hasn't happened since a 3:30 AM repeat of "Garth Marenghi's Darkplace" in 2009), it won't get pulled after the first week, but instead will get at least two to three weeks to "test the waters". If it actually manages to hold fairly steady after a few weeks near what the usual ratings in that timeslot are (KOTH gets 550,00 to 750,000 viewers roughly), I could easily forsee the block lasting a month or two.

In the unlikely event it manages to routinely get above 750,000-ish in the ratings, it could easily be expanded on Sunday nights and become a regular staple in the Adult Swim lineup for months to come.

However, that all depends on both the whims of the AS execs and of those viewers out there with Nielsen boxes. It may not be probable, but it certainly is possible. And stranger things have happened...

>>89077827
Why?

>>89077894
there were more episodes.

>>89077911
What did they stop at?

>>89077774
I disagree but you're entitled to your own opinion

>>89077959
there were more episodes of home movies, but it went off the air before they could finish it.

>>89078116
Well, no Mike Lazzo cancelled the show halfway through the production of season 4 so they scrambled to write the finale "Focus Grill" to wrap up the show and give it a proper ending.

Even though it was on very short notice, they were able to successfully conclude the series.

>>89078212
i feel they skipped some episodes or maybe i messed them.

>>89078498
yeah when they aired recently

>>89078547
Oh yeah that was just the original 5 episodes from UPN in 1999 plus the first few AS-aired episodes from september 2001. They didn't even finish airing season 1 because everything was still all squiggly.

How long has Crunchyroll been buying ad time on CN? Is it new enough to shitpost about on /a/?

>>89078576
A while now, but go ahead and shitpost on /a/ anyway.

>>89078574
i remember upn. wasnt there also a courtroom comedy made in the exact style?

Space Ghost is absolute shit. Classic my ass.

>>89078596
Yeah, same production company and a lot of the same cast and crew. It was a saturday morning cartoon on ABC from 1997 until 2000. I remember they used to show it to us in 4th grade sometimes.

Ok, so I just watched the first 10 minutes of episode 1 and I have to say I wasn't impressed. For one thing, the animation was fucking terrible. Whoever did that must have had a stroke or something. It was like something straight out of the 1980s. I have to say I'm hesitant to believe that there was all that much improvisation going on in this show. It just sounded too scripted and unnatural to be improv. Like they were trying to force themselves to be clever and funny, but it really ended up not working at all. Also, the voice actors really suck on this show. The sound like a bunch of amatuers who don't know how to act to save their life. They just sort of ramble and drone on and talk over each other, but not in an interesting or clever way, just sort of stupid. Like that one coach guy who reminds me of Bob from Bobs Burgers except not nearly as interesting or funny. As far as the episode goes, the plot seemed really uninteresting and didn't really go anywhere. In fact it was plain boring. There was no action at all, just some people talking. If I saw this correctly, the gist of the plot was just Brandon's mom is going on a date with Brandon's coach and he doesn't like that so he decides to make a movie. The whole scene with Brandon doing the movie and his friend blowing snot out of his nose looked really dumb and immature, like something out of an "edgy" children's cartoon. I actually turned it off at the scene with the snot dripping because it was just getting really dumb at that point.

Honestly, overall, I can't say I understand how this is supposed to be a good or influential or groundbreaking or whatever "adult cartoon" since there's really no adult content whatsoever and it just seems like a very childish cartoon one might see play on Saturday mornings. There really wasn't as much of an "improv" element as I thought there would have expected. Rick and Morty actually did a full improv episode and did it well. This is supposed to be "classic" Adult Swim??

How many episodes does the nazi ark of jojo have?

I miss Black Lagoon

They probably don't have the rights to it anymore, but if Samurai Champloo can make a comeback, anything is possible.

I'd also like to see Lupin III Part IV air on Toonami eventually (could happen in late 2017 or 2018), or hope that there's some way we can get something Sailor Moon related on Toonami (I know Crystal's off the table, but maybe we could air the Viz redub of the 90's anime?)

If Toonami could've got Sailor Moon Crystal when the iron was still hot, I would be full of joy.

You are out of your fucking skull.

>>89084105
most anime has only 24 episodes, and klk was great from the start to finish.

so yeah, a 100+ episode pile of "hidden power quick learners" is not that great

>>89071762

This. I know there are guys who are desperate to say IBO is a megahit (especially when confronted with info on it's performance in Japan) that would fight this, but the fact of the matter is IBO's performance is questionable. It was the major jumping off point of the night until Jojo came along. Hell, I keep thinking about how little spread it got around the net compared to other big anime. I've seen more Yuri!!! on Ice stuff around without looking while IBO is virtually non-existent.

>>89078804
I'll admit, even if the rest of the episode was really that bad, McGuirk greeting the baby with "Hello!" will always get me.

>>89084684
that whole scene is hysterical honestly.

>>89084651
Yup

WE'RE

>>89084651
Yuri on Ice is a new show in with a fresh setting and characters while Iron-Blooded Orphans is currently in it's 2nd season, with characters and scenarios the audience is already used to. Don't make bad comparisons like this.

>>89090209
He didn't mean right this second stupid. Even so, a hype tier show will have a very active community during its second season. IBO doesn't

>>89090511
Incredible that a show dedicated to having a drawn out story told over multiple 26 episode seasons isn't considered hype.

Hi rebbit

>>89090511
Well, there's still a lot of Gundam fans who eat it up and I have seen people introduced to Gundam through IBO. But the fact is despite how well-known it is Gundam is rather niche here in the West. Mecha in general actually. The hype IBO got going into it indicated they were attempting to bring it to the mainstream over here.

I know the show gets a lot of good buzz on anime forums and the like, but from what I've seen the show doesn't get the same level of discussion other big shows get. It always seems to be a few guys going over how great it is, and in my experience IBO fans can get rather hostile to people who criticize the show. I know one dumbass who will do everything he can to weasel out of admitting any sort of fault with it (this is one of the guys who try to paint it as a megahit). I've talked with guys who flat out admitted they don't give their true opinions on it because they don't want everyone jumping down their throats in such forums. Outside of those forums, most other Gundam fans I know don't give a shit while holding the show has some serious weaknesses.

>>89094204
>Tell him hi /reddit/

Fucking cancer to society. You have 0 to do with toonami's production but you have the gall to not only bitch about performance you have no feasible benchmark for but to tell people off when they call you on your psuedo-autism.

Fucking faggot, grow up.
