Sweet Christ. 4 years was too long to make a follow up season. In 4 years, you could have learned how to get anime without dealing with commercials or signed up with Crunchyroll (which is allegedly lowering the quality of their streams, if Medium is to be believed).

How was Saturday's Jack episode? I'll check it out Wednesday or sooner if it's on the site.

Let's be honest here. The manga is great.

The anime is Toeishit, which is the worst shit you can shit out.

>>92039822
They make Symbionic Titan season 2, of course.

>>92040135
Demarco is really picky about what he will air. Has to be action. Has to be new-ish. Can't be too sexy. And that's out of the small pool of anime that actually are licensed and have dubs.

>>92040191
The manga is a masterpiece as far as shonen goes.

The anime is a mediocre adaption, but still a better adaption of its source material than Naruto (with its infinite filler) or DBZ (which might be the only anime with even worse pacing than OP.)

HxH and Jojo are much better Jump adaptions but both benefit from being based on decades-old material.

>>92040040
Saturday's Jack episode was terrific. Best part was when it made Ashi haters all kill themselves.

>>92041013
Maybe if you last another 15 years you'll have a shot.

Attack on Titan's producers really fucked up by waiting so long to do a second season. That show was massively popular when it first came out, but the studio should have kept up the momentum instead of waiting four fucking years to do another one. It wasn't the kind of franchise that could survive that kind of hiatus. Season 1 is great when viewed once, thanks to the shock value and great fight animation, but on a second viewing you realize how flimsy the writing is and how bad the pacing is. And though both these problems are improved on in season 2, it feels like too little too late.

the fact that the frist two episodes just introduce like five more mysteries without resolving any of the old ones probably didn't help either.

>>92040836
This is the exact retard logic that fuels Ryuuko spammer.

>>92040975
>DBZ (which might be the only anime with even worse pacing than OP.)
Nigga, DBZ pacing is pretty bad but it's got nothing on One Piece. OP is where Toei perfected their padding to the extent that it's basically time dilation, less than one chapter per episode. Consider that a One Piece chapter can be less than 20 pages. And they still manage to make episodes that don't cover all 19 pages. DBZ never got that bad. DBZ at its worst was as bad as pre-Shabondy One Piece anime.

>>92041245
it's true though, Family Guy reruns that probably costs 5k a pop to air had higher ratings than the multimillion dollar Jack revival episodes

until people get tired of watching McFarlane reruns, AS is foolish NOT to air them considering the ratings they get

>>92041383
This reasoning doesn't hold up because its inevitable conclusion is to just scrap Toonami and replace it with McFarlane shows, which are all much cheaper than anime.

>>92041429
it does hold up, because that's exactly what is going to happen

>>92041429
Except they can only air them so many times per week. It might be more cost prohibitive to increase that number than just airing other stuff instead.

>>92041459
You and people like you have been saying this practically since Toonami came back, and instead the block just gets more funding and does more and more expensive projects like reviving Jack and FLCL. Though it remains to be seen if they'll be able to pull these kinds of stunts in the future.

>>92040052
Super is god awful

>>92040135
When Demarco is in charge yea that becomes a big road block

>>92039114
>Adult Swim is funding two new 6 episode seasons of FLCL. Expected release 2018.

Why though

>>92040052
I can't speak for anyone else but Jack is the only thing I'm even vaguely interested in that toonami is currently airing.
The only other two shows I tuned in for are gone and the only thing worth watching is the first show, so why bother keeping the tv on at all past 11:30?

>>92042196
This. Maybe when Super gets to something that isn't a movie adaptation it'll be worth it, but that's what, six months from now?

>>92042231
Because they don't seem to know how to read the room.

>>92042476
>6 months from now

And by then the casual audience has completely been lost. It's basically already gone

>>92043157
>>just know Demarco will force IBO S2

He may not have a choice. [AS] seems to have a long-term contract with Bandai to show Gundam. It's likely they committed to IBO 1 and 2 and Unicorn all at once.

>>92043446
And why the fuck would they do this before testing the waters to see if people even wanted Gundam? Which they clearly did not.

>This. Maybe when Super gets to something that isn't a movie adaptation it'll be worth it, but that's what, six months from now?

In about three months. And yes, the post-movie arcs are actually great. Toriyama gets more involved in the writing starting with the third arc (Universe 6 Saga) and the result is some surprisingly creative stuff.

The problem with the first two arcs is that they take movies which were 70 minutes long and stretch them into 13 half-hour episodes each. You end up with terrible pacing. The later arcs were written for the show so they avoid these problems.

>>92043574
>And why the fuck would they do this before testing the waters to see if people even wanted Gundam?

Gundam Wing is one of the all-time biggest hits of classic Toonami, and most of the other Gundam shows were popular too (aside from the original, which bombed hard.)

The suits at Adult Swim probably saw how popular DBZ Kai was, figured it made sense to bring back other old shows people might be nostalgic for, and began trying to acquire Gundam.

>>92043577
I'm not looking forward to dub Universe 6, Black Goku, and Zamasu desu.

>>92041297
>DBZ never got that bad

>this planet will explode in two minutes!

You sure about that, anon?

>>92043662
I'm really liking the dub so far. The cast are so comfortable in their longtime roles, and they've done a great job with writing the dialog, especially the comedic parts. There are a lot of groan-worthy jokes in the Japanese which were funny in English because the Funimation writers knew just how to tweak them.

>>92043577
Hopefully people can suffer through the Resurrection F arc to get to the good shit. It has its moments but it's mostly just a dull rehash of old DBZ tropes.

The best part is at the beginning when the b-squad fighters (Tien, Krillin, Master Roshi, Piccolo) actually get to kick some ass fighting Freiza's minions.

>>92043638
Gundam Wing was pretty much the only succesful gundam on the west, maybe G Gundam too

>>92043662
Why not? I'm sure they'll tweak the voices from how they sounded in XV2. I'm definitely hoping Sean Schemmel will be less growly and more calm and smug sounding as Goku Black.

>>92043709
This. Super's one of the few dubs that's superior to the original due to that fact.

>>92043856
Wing and G Gundam got the best rating, but 8th MS Team actually did really well given that it only aired at midnight. And Bandai sold a lot of DVD's and model kits whenever any of them aired.

I think when Seed began airing was when people began to get tired of Gundam, though. But by then Toonami was dying.

Why does this show try so hard to make me care for the MC Ghouls for being treated as hideous, sadistic monsters when they are in fact hideous, sadistic monsters who eat people

For fuck sake, some of them can't even control their ghoul boners over a human being near them

The show should have done what Parasyte did and have them be able to eat human food, the only thing would be that humans just tasted better. But because they can only eat humans and can get really shitty and pervy about it, it's hard to care about them

http://toonamifaithful.com/toonami-ratings-for-march-18th-2017/

Those are the numbers for OP's last broadcast. It was a lower than average night for it but it still beat this week's Gundam, Naruto, and GitS.

>>92043446
If we NEED to have a Gundam I'd sooner have Build Fighters.

>>92040052
Jack is the only thing I watch after sampling Super and finding it to be worse DBZ with a shittier budget and the rest of the block and finding it to be cancerous shit.

I'd probably actually stay up for Big O reruns over Attack on Titan or Tokyo Ghoul.

>>92044051
8th is about 5,000% better than Gundam Wing, too.

>>92044682
I wouldn't mind watching this again with toonami general.

>>92043638
To put things into perspective, Gundam Wing was a MASSIVE unexpected hit and second only to DBZ in ratings which was a huge deal. The broadcast of Endless Waltz was CN's highest rated program ever (at the time) and held thay distinction until DBZ took it a bit later when it aas reaching its peak popularity

>>92045919
And it was a complete fluke that convinced Gundam babbies that their shitty franchise is still popular 20 years later in the US.
>hurr hurr Gundam pulled huge ratings when parked next to the actually popular DBZ, that means all Gundam is popular

>>92044331
And this is why Shueisha will never allow One Piece to conclude.

>>92046315
>And it was a complete fluke

Except it wasn't, since several other Gundam shows also got major ratings. And when Endless Waltz set that record it was not following DBZ.

IBO just didn't repeat that success, but you can't pretend it wasn't huge back in the day.

>>92046384
Oda's going to end it sometime. Shueisha might convince him to let someone else write a shitfest sequel like Boruto, but it won't be the same.

Of course at the rate he's going it'll probably be another decade before the series wraps up, so they've got until then to find the next One Piece and prevent the death of anime.

If there is one thing Toonami has taught me its that in general tv audiences just want shit that panders to their nostalgia

It doesn't really matter what Demarco puts on the schedule if its not a reboot, remake or even just straight up rerun of something that aired in the 90s or early 2000s its all going to fare the same

people don't want anything that's new or different or challenging in any way they just want the same old stuff

>>92045240
Hunter X Hunter is still terrific but it's not worth sitting through hours of 90's repeats and edgelord trash to get to it, especially not when the whole series is on Netflix anyway.

>>92046448
Maybe, but the biggest hits so far for new Toonami that aren't Dragon Ball related were Akame Ga Kill and One Punch Man, neither of which have any nostalgia value whatsoever. Even Jack hasn't gotten higher ratings than AGK's premiere.

The biggest problem with current Toonami is a really simple one: the shows just aren't good, and they're catering to the wrong audience.

They doubled-down on grimdark shit by killing fun shows like One Piece and Jojo bringing in AoT and Tokyo Ghoul, and it turns out that pandering to edgelords alienated most of the audience.

Jack has dark themes but is still a fun show with humor and optimism. DB Super and Kai are both comedic even in their most tense moments. Then you go from the fun of Kai to the grimdark misery of Titans and what happens? A drop of nearly 200,000 viewers. And it keeps going down until the show at 2:00 is doing worse than One Piece did at 2:30. All because Toonami made the same mistake Marvel did and alienated their real audience by pandering to edgy tryhards.

>>92046448
But that's wrong, AgK, KLK, Dimension W, OPM and quite a few others were big successes. The issue now is that the whole lineup is filled with dogshit, and we start that shit sandwich with a rerun from a few hours prior.

>>92046528
>>92046605

don't you take it as a red flag that AGK was that popular though?

also stuff like KLK and OPM are basically meme anime that just became well known due to heavy social media saturation
doesn't really mean much that those were successful although it does reinforce the well known fact that audiences tend to prefer things with a more comedic bent in general

>>92046602
>Kai and Super get viewers because they are fun

They get viewers because they are DBZ. It matter little what actually happens, so long as Goku and a few other familiar meme faces are on the screen, nostalgiafags will tune in. Ever since Kai started, a 200k+ drop from it to the following show has happened. That isn't a new thing.

The average ratings haven't changed at all since OP left. If we didn't have Unicorn putting everyone to sleep, that last 90 minutes wouldn't be in such bad shape. Jojobronies need to stop whining that Demarco pulled their shitty show, and whine to Viz instead who couldn't shit out the dub fast enough.

>>92046699
No I really don't. The only thing it was a red flag for was airing shows that weren't super popular draws an audience. Same with Dimension W. It doesn't matter that the show itself is shit, it's the fact most viewers don't know it's shit without watching it first. Instead now we have an entire lineup of garbage people watched as it premiered years ago, and they know it's shit. Why sit down and watch something you already know blows ass?

>>92046709
>They get viewers because they are DBZ

Yeah, and people like DBZ because it's fun. That nostalgia didn't come from nowhere.

>sandwhale ends
>ratings tank

hmmm

>>92046709
>If we didn't have Unicorn putting everyone to sleep

The drop from HxH to Unicorn is less than half the size of the drop leading into Attack on Titan.

>Jojobronies need to stop whining that Demarco pulled their shitty show,

That shitty show also retained far more viewers after DBZ than Titans is.

Actually look at the numbers, don't just point fingers at whatever shows you don't enjoy like a petty fuck.

>>92046919
Then why do casual Z fans detest regular DB? DBZ got popular with kids because at the time it originally aired, and with what there was to compare it to, it was edgy and "mature" as fuck. There is even an NYT article from back then about how much of a step up DBZ was from the vanilla cartoons that were airing on CN.

>>92046929

Viz had nothing to do with the dub, that was all Warner Bros. who put out an extremely cheap release with almost no marketing. Viz only reacquired it last year.

I think this is a severe case of people not knowing what the term "pulled" means.

It ended and there was nothing more available. That's not being pulled. That's a seasonal break.

>>92049382
>Literally hot topic grimdark shit when everyones already burned out

Exactly the problem. Tokyo Ghoul is laughably, fanfiction-level grimdark. It's fucking amateur hour, and it only gets worse as it goes on (culminating in a second season that's almost entirely filler.)

If you're going to air a show like that (especially replacing a more fun show like OP) you need to balance the block out. So what does Toonami do? They double-down on this gloomy shit by serving up season two of Attack on Grimdark. That's just exhausting. No wonder the ratings are in the shitter.

AoT was always going to air on Toonami as soon as possible, so if AS were smart they would have held off on Tokyo Ghoul until it was over, and just kept OP on the block until at least then. Instead, now they have three shows getting lower numbers than OP. Nice work, guys.

>>92056728

The irony is, Hunter X Hunter is currently in its darkest storyline, but it's actually good (and from this point it's actually more about strategy and mind games than combat) but buried under AoT and especially Tokyo Ghoul, it's hard for casual viewers to get excited for what looks on the surface to be another dark show in an urban setting. The timing is awful since no other arc in Hunter has that sort of tone or setting. TG just fucks up Toonami's balance really badly.

HxH's next arc is a lot brighter but I honestly wonder if Toonami will last long enough to air it.

So what do ya think will go in the rerun slot:

A jojo
2nd Gig
Kenshin
A gundam
AoT s1

>>92062895
Could be just another cheap show, or they could move on to Second Gig. They still have the rights to Cowboy Bebop and Space Dandy, right?

Let's hope they don't do Tokyo Ghoul S2. They need bring back OP at earlier time slot. My line up would be:


Jack
DBS
OP
DBZK
AOT
Naruto
GITS

Then when Jack finishes, move OP to Jack's slot. Keep slot 2 for new stuff.

God OP retard posts are just infuriating at how stupid they are. Did you forget why your garbage show was removed? Because it did terrible.

>>92064481
Because OP was behind all the shitty animes. If they moved it up, it would get more viewers.

>>92062895
Probably Samurai Jack Season 5.

GitS was only in there to cross-promote the shitty movie anyway..

>>92064481
I love how all someone has to do is mention OP to trigger some poor faggot in this thread.

>Did you forget why your garbage show was removed? Because it did terrible.

It did better than Naruto or Gundam did the past two weeks. Of course Gundam's almost over, so I guess we know who's next on the chopping block. Believe it.

>>92060071
Moving DBZ down the schedule is a great idea. An hour of DB just feels redundant, and pushing it down will force nostalgiafags to stick around for Hunter, which has a classic Dragon Ball vibe to it anyway.

My ideal schedule looks like this, except we replace Tokyo Ghoul with basically anything because that show is a garbage fire.

>>92040052
Super is shit AND a rerun

>>92064561
Just like when it aired earlier and did just as bad? Moron

Attack on Titan is a delayed simuldub just like Dimension W (it's actually closer behind the Japanese broadcast than Dimension W was, only 3 episodes behind instead of the 5 or so that Dimension W had). The only people who are jaded about it are the ones who read the manga, the rest would have only seen these episodes weeks ago if they bothered to watch them at all (which they probably didn't).

The real issue is just that AoT was a fad and it ended a while ago.

>>92048248
AgK and Dimension W both got great ratings, and AgK is pure shit while DW is mediocre as hell. The recipe for success seems to be either capitalizing on a popular, fresh meme or else picking up something new that nobody has heard of so it makes them curious.

>>92065707
>thinks normie toonami watchers read manga
Get a reality check friendo. The only ones who read the manga were the obsessives who had already watched the show before it even aired on Toonami and yet it was still a big success then, because the show had just ended and the hype was still high for season 2. A lot of western fans don't watch anime until it's finished airing so you often see a spike in western interest in a show only after it ends. These spikes are temporary though, usually only good for a couple months. Toonami struck while the iron was hot and grabbed the show very soon after it finished, I remember being surprised by how fast the dub for AoT came together and how fast it got on American TV. The same for KLK: they moved fast.

They moved even faster to get season 2 of AoT, but what they miscalculated was hype decay. 4 years is a long time to keep a fad hot. The ashes are cold now.

>>92042231
Dead horses need a good beating?

>>92042231
Cause they hope Toonamitards will go apeshit over it because it's got FLCL in the title even though basically none of the original staff are working on it.

>>92046315
>>92046403
Gundam was popular for a time, but its a classic example of how to mismanagement ruins everything. Forcing CN to air the original MSG basically brought the popularity to a screeching halt, and by the time they showed something else (in this case SEED) nobody cared and the property faded back into obscurity.

Also iirc 08th MS Team aired in the afternoon. War in the Pocket and Stardust Memory aired at night on Adult Swim

This would burn the block to the ground but god damn I would watch every second of it.

>>92064868
Theblast few episodes of season one are hype

Because of how all these anime contracts work, Toonami might be cancelled at any time and it may be weeks before we know it.

Like, I'm sure CN is contractually required to air all the episodes of AoT season 2, and probably of Unicorn and Ghoul, as well. So if Toonami dies, they'll probably keep the block around long enough to air all those episodes

If, when Unicorn ends in a few weeks, it isn't replaced with a new show (if Toonami just drops the 3 AM hour and moves the last two shows up, or replaces Unicorn with repeats, for instance) then we know it's the end, and Toonami is no longer acquiring new content, just burning off what remains.

In this case, DB Super will continue to air on Saturdays at 8 because it actually does get solid ratings there.

>>92067059
If by terrible you mean the best in years, yea

>>92062895
They just got the rights to Big O season 1 back for the first time in years (it's been playing on the web stream), they'll probably air that.

>>92067400
Yea, and that contract may have roped us into airing IBOS2, so that isn't the best gauge

>>92067159
It's burning down anyway, might as well have fun in the blaze

>>92067435
Good point. Maybe a better judge will be what happens when Titan ends, since it would be the next show to wrap up (you'd think after four years they could manage more than a 12 episode season but whatever.)

>Why the fuck has Precure never aired on US tv?
Well, 4Kids was going to dub the first series and actually licensed it around the same time they got Ojamajo Doremi (Magical Doremi), but both Doremi and Mew Mew Power bombed, so they decided magical girls wasn't a worthwhile investment and let the license expire.
Then Ocean dubbed the first series, but that was around the time that the anime bubble in the US popped and no one wanted to air it, so their dub only broadcasted in Canada.
Then Saban Brands licensed Suite Precure and sat on the license for ages (at first they wanted to call it "Gangnam Girls" because Gangnam Style was all the rage, but somebody with a brain at the US copyright office rejected that attempt). The assumption is that they were going to air it on Vortexx, but by the time that the dub went into production, the block had been killed. Then they couldn't get Nickelodeon to take it, probably because Digimon Fusion was a massive disappointment for them. So, with nowhere else to go and Toei breathing down their necks to put out *something* after having the license for four years, they had to settle for Netflix.

Toriko's anime was cancelled and the manga ended. I don't think it was ever Big Three material, although Toei tried really hard to make it seem that way.

If you just go by overall manga sales, the big three shonen series right now are One Piece, Kingdom, and Attack on Titan.

Haikyu!!! is really close behind, though, and may overtake AoT within the next year. My Hero Academia is a couple of spots behind.

>>92076493
big three was never overall manga sales but the three most popular series currently running in weekly shonen jump

so kingdom and attack on titan don't qualify, but my hero academia and haikyuu would

>>92041191
They really couldn't do a second season until at least a year after because it's a monthly manga. Four years though, is inexcusable, especially considering how short this is.

But admit it, isnt it a bit tiresome to see Cleveland Show, American Dad, and Family Guy round the whole existence of their series run over and over again, there needs to be some changes.
