Toonami will have a panel at Momocon on May 26th at 8:30pm.

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

Last week was another week of garbage ratings, this week was a week of even shittier ratings. First off, for the second week in a row, Jack was the number one rated program on Saturday. But as usual, that's where the good stops. AoT continues to fall in ratings, now failing to even reach the 800k mark.


11:00 Samurai Jack 1358 0.61 789
11:30 Dragon Ball Super (r) 986 0.44 567
12:00a Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters 925 0.40 519
12:30a Attack on Titan 771 0.35 447
1:00a Tokyo Ghoul 713 0.33 423

1:30a Hunter X Hunter 649 0.30 379
2:00a Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn 550 0.26 333
2:30a Naruto: Shippuden 539 0.25 327
3:00a Ghost in the Shell (r) 515 0.23 299

It will probably just be 1-2 hours of Kai, Super and maybe something from the rerun catalog, but those don't draw viewers so that wouldn't last. Toonami may as well be cancelled at that point though anyway.
>>
>>92245809
Between DBZ Kai and Shippuden is a massive vacuum of complete suckage. Gundam is a weak franchise, Hunter x Hunter is barely tolerable and AoT is a flop. Reairing Gurren Lagann or Bebop would help raise the ratings due to their popularity and overall well written stories. FLCL can't arrive soon enough
>>
>>92246145
Honestly it's pretty fucking disturbing (and sexist as fuck) that people want to read their relationship as Father/daughter subtext. Ashi never had any autonomy of her own and now that she finally makes an impactful choice people want to close their eyes, put their fingers in their ears, and pretend like it's not real. Why isn't tumblr freaking out at the father/daughter shit? Isn't that infantilizing Ashi and negating her free will? Fuck this noise
>>
>>92246292
Gurren Lagann was a flop its first run, reruns NEVER help. There are so many shows Toonami has never aired that would pull an audience, they have zero need for putting on more reruns
>>
>>92246354
You forgot a layer of the tumblr outrage, it's not just that it wasn't father/daughter, it's that because it wasn't, it's a hetero relationship. And we just can't fucking have that now can we?

I can understand not liking the ship or thinking it's rushed. I also kind of agree that I would have preferred Jack and Ashi to just be allies, and not lovers.

But why the fuck do these people have a problem with the ship being a straight one? Did they honestly expect Jack be gay or Ashi to be a lesbian?

Yeah no, this was more and more obvious as the series progressed. The whole daughter idea was forced as hell and only based on the episode where he recounts his father having to kill humans AND NOTHING ELSE.

Besides, this relationship had good progression, both subtle & blatant foreshadowing, and simple, but good reasons why these two would at least hit the bed once or twice. Considering other poorly written and forced relationships (I'm looking at you Bioware) this was at the very least decent.

Now, if you want to keep arguing about something, what happens from here? Does the relationship die off, do they regret it, or is one of them killed off? Is Ashi forced to take up the sword if Jack dies?

A lot of the episodes were building up to this, but it's hard to tell how it will turn out.

>>
>>92245809

This is depressing. At least we know that you can't air a hype anime, take four years off and come back, especially when the cutoff point of the first anime led to some hype moments and then dullness.

The shittiest thing about this is that AoT S2s numbers are gonna kill the notion of simuldubs (even if this is three weeks behind) on Toonami for either a long while or forever.
>>
>>92247369
The problem isn't Super or Kai. It's everything after Kai and before Shippuden. Just move Naruto up
>>
>>92247495
Isn't that what killed Space Dandy?
>>
>>92247537

I believe that Dandy did pretty solid numbers during its whole run and it wasn't based on an existing work. If anything, it was probably the most universally received show across of the whole of new Toonami's run.
>>
>>92247580
So what do you think could compete with Super and Kai other than og Dragon Ball?
>>
>>92245809
well, this week's AoT episode wasn't particularly thrilling. The tension starts ramping up from next episode onward, but I dunno if people would still care enough to tune in.
>>
>>92247727
Tossing out ideas of which one will replace it:

>Gantz
>Berzerk
>Star Driver
>High School D X D (i fucking wish)
>Other (list series and opinion)
>>
>>92247702

I think MHA would do pretty solid, but Funi isn't giving that up. Alternatively, it would have to be something that was widely considered good, but passed up.

AgK was the exception in that it wasn't good, but it flew under the radar for the viewing populace and as such, everyone tuned in.

Toonami can't be airing fair weather shows where people only tune in when they get "good". Mostly because that doesn't actually happen, if people aren't watching now they won't watch later

They went up slightly for one week, then crashed and have stayed that way since.

And now THREE shows are doing worse than One Piece did.

People can cry and weep about "OPfags," but the show's fanbase was loyal enough to sit through all of Toonami to get to their show at 2:30. They weren't a gigantic group but they boosted the ratings of every show up until OP ended. Now they're gone, and the ratings reflect this.
>>
>>92249618
As awesome as it'd be, that'd take too much money and time. We need something that can be negotiated and air before FLCL 2 and 3, assuming production isn't near completion yet.

In all honesty, while I know it wasn't everyone's cup of tea, I find myself a lot less motivated to sit through Toonami without that jolly dose of One Piece weirdness near the end. And now without Jojo it's just one long slog of grimdark misery with AoT, Tokyo Edge, and Naruto. HxH is good but not worth enduring Tokyo Ghoul for when I've already seen the whole series. And Gundam is downright confusing since I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of the canon.

The promise of wacky skeleton musicians, reindeer doctors and sexy goth girls with ghost powers used to be enough to motivate me to watch until 3, but now I just shrug and turn off Toonami after Super.
>>
I would stay until shippuden to watch that weird video thing that played during the commercial break but that was never even a guarantee that it would happen and I didn't even watch past kai last Saturday. Toonami wants to be all about action and edge but the majority are faggots like me who watch for nostalgia but want to see the anime girls with the big titties flying everwhere
Toonami is dying because we're not 14 anymore

>>
>>92249759
But that's wrong
>>
What happens when Jack ends, the season re-runned or another show?
>>
>>92250014
I was so dumb. I don't think showing Rick and Morty a bunch of times was a dumb prank, but was it THAT important to AS that they air it in Jack's slot after already airing the same episode 20 times?

Because they really should have realized what would happen:

>Toonami viewers tune in for Jack, see Rick, assume April Fool's joke will run all night, turn off Toonami. The extremely low ratings for the post-midnight shows confirm that this happened.

>people come back the next week, see Jack and Super as usual, but all the shows after that are a week ahead of where they left off.

By airing only part of Toonami, they caused a bunch of people to miss an episode, and that's death for serialized television.

And maybe people went online to find the episodes they missed and catch up, but once you've done that, why do you need Toonami at all? Why not just watch all the episodes you want?

So the stupid Rick and Morty stunt may have killed Toonami. And the best part is, R&M brought about half the numbers Jack usually does.
>>
>>92250140
It was never a permanent expansion, likely back to Family Guy. We will probably be told during pre flight this week
>>
>>92250140
I doubt they would rerun it at the top of the block. But they'll probably put Jack in the 3 AM rerun slot. It's not like GitS is getting huge ratings and anyway they only stuck it on there to promote the movie nobody saw.
>>
>>92250120
It's right in my case, and at least one other in >>92249891

I know the anime had shit pacing and it was only going to get worse and I know that the art style and tone aren't something everyone likes, but One Piece was what kept me up all night.
Now, I watch Jack (and even then I'm checking out mentally) and then switch over to Archer reruns or watch My Hero Academia subs, or just go to bed.

I especially don't get why they went with Attack on Titan season 2, given how badly they got screwed on Season 1 costing so much and not making its money back.
>>
>>92250120
It's really not. One Piece was still averaging around 590k-600k during its final months.
>>
>>92250211
>I especially don't get why they went with Attack on Titan season 2, given how badly they got screwed on Season 1

Because it got huge ratings the first time. Which means they probably paid even more for it this time.

I was pointing out that there's this narrative going on in recent threads that the lowest rating One Piece got was "the ratings it always got".
>durr hurr hurr OP has been doing WAY better than Naruto since it left
The fact that "durr hurr hurr" is the best you could come up with to argue against this point says it all.
>haha I'l just ignore how poorly it's lead is doing
What, you mean Naruto's lead being Gundam? Wasn't the mantra when One Piece was on "don't blame Gundam for One Piece's performance"? By that token, Naruto should be doing better. After all, it isn't Gundam's fault.
>>
>>92250530
Anyone else think Naruto should be moved up? With it coming on after Kai the ratings would surely rise
>>
>>92250512
Does everyone already seeing these episodes before they air on Toonami have anything to do with AoT bombing?
>>
>>92250478
Cancel it. Can't be fixed, especially with Demarco in charge
>>
>>92250567
That and people having 4 years to grow up and realize AoT is dogshit

>>92250530

>>92250573
Demarco can be difficult to work with but perhaps we could relay ideas and make him think their his
>>
>>92250234
>Because it got huge ratings the first time.
Yeah but then they tried reairing it and it got dogshit ratings that didn't justify the expense. And that was before a FOUR YEAR hiatus.
>>
>>92245809
As long as Toonami can make it into the Fall without a show going under 450k we have nothing to worry about it
>>
>>92250619
Do you remember the ratings for SAO before the awful FPS season?
>>
>>92250630
True but that's the scenario we're trying to prevent
>>
>>92250667
Well then it can simply be solved but rerunning Jack in the 3AM slot and going big risk with a comedy anime in AoT's slot once the TWELVE EPISODE SEASON AFTER THE FOUR-YEAR HIATUS of it ends oh and finding a way to get Tokyo Ghoul to fuck off before it goes even more edge in it's 2nd non-canon season

it would make sense, jack's been essentially been tortured for 50 years and ashi was brought up by an abusive single mother, the only man she knew of was probably Aku. she should be a fuckin lesbian no doubt

the fact that they are straight, functioning beings is outstanding and frankly unbelievable

I was being sarcastic, the Chiller block only aired for two weeks and was pulled because the ratings were so absurdly abysmal that the second week's airing of Devil May Cry had 3,000 viewers (that isn't a typo). Is This A Zombie? was the lead show on that block as well and had a combined total of 36,000 viewers between its two airings. That doesn't exactly inspire confidence from advertisers.
>>
>>92250976
Its still better than Gundam Unicorn
>>
>>92250597
Yea no we can't. The only way we could influence Demarco is make a series we want appear to be a popular request. But TG is far too small for that to ever be viable

Toonami needs balance can't have all this grim dark shit like AoT and Ghoul choking everything and have these long running shows like DBZ, HxH, and Gundam that many people don't like jumping right in the middle of with not prior knowledge of the episodes before.

The block needs more variety more light hearted stuff like Space Dandy or one piece and maybe something in the vein of Eureka 7 or Big O. (Though anime like that is rarely made)
>>
>>92251139
Eureka 7 was actually pretty good.
>>
>>92250976
You can't blame any of those shows for failing on an unadvertised, nonstandard cable, niche channel and a Wednesday night. ItaZ wasn't even verified by their staff prior to picking it up, nor were the notes Eu uses to communicate translated.

Since Toonami isn't quite that retarded, I think it would go over well here. But not as the lead show, pop it in the middle to break up some of the grimdark edge
>>
>>92250818
I would tune in for that. The dub is pretty good

So you are saying Demarco needs to put on the AotY. Best idea I have heard all day
>>
>>92251213
What about Love Hina?
>>
>>92251168
Eureka 7 was the best anime they've ever aired on toonami. S-cry-ed is tied for 2nd. Toonami needs shit like Crayon shin-chan again. The weirdness gives you fond feelings and gets you to relax.

It was a mistake on toonami's part for not picking up panty and stocking. Would have been an amazing line up with stuff like space dandy.
>>
>>92251168
Im mad as hell they took it off netflix and hulu right when i wanted to rewatch it.
>>
>>92251265
Thank god they'll never pick up Vandread
>>
>>92249524
Seeing as some in the thread were losing their shit if something wasn't exploding or someone getting killed every minute.
Non action shows have a hard road to success.
>>
>>92251139
Long runners are fine so long as they don't dominate the block. But balance is key. The current emo parade is killing Toonami right now. If you're going to air something as pretentiously grimdark as Tokyo Ghoul you need to balance it with something more fun. Not AoT and its relentless "THIS IS HUMANITY'S FINAL HOUR" bullcrap.

I hope something more fun gets picked up after Unicorn ends. But contracts mean it'll almost certainly be IBO season 2, which is a show I actually like, but it's not what the block needs right now at all.
>>
>>92251284
Honestly they may as well it's not like they have anything else to lose. The show is probably dirt cheap and already has dub. Seems like it could be a good addition so why not?
>>
>>92251348
It's the worst parts of Tenchi Universe set in a literal battle of the sexes. It essentially tumblr fodder
>>
>>92251348
I'd be okay with it. It's a fun show and the dub is quite decent.

Only problem is, it's a 17 year old show that relies heavily on CGI for all the mecha sequences, and those visuals really haven't aged well.
>>
>>92251366
>tumlr fodder

So it's guaranteed to draw in at least some feminazi/MGTOW views. Seems like this is the right climate to release it in now. It could turn out bigger than ever before
>>
>>92251401
I swear to fucking god i would jump ship on toonami if they aired it
>>
>>92245809

Damn. What the fuck is going on? I thought this lineup would have been ratings gold. It's got everything normies love. Jack, an hour of Dragonball, Titan, Gundam, and capped off with some edge and shonen to fill out the back end. How did they fuck this up?
>>
>>92251262
If you are going to try the almost guaranteed failure of airing a completely non action show on Toonami, it's better to start with a fresh FotM, so if it bombs no one can complain that if they aired something newer/better etc, that the idea wouldn't have failed
>>
>>92251321
People do that on shows like Gundam that are straight boring as shit. Something that generates some laughs should keep people entertained. Dandy wasn't high octane action most of the time but was well received here.
>>
>>92251419
I'm honestly surprised they never aired chrome shelled regios

>>92251444
Balance anon you just can't keep trying to fire on all cyclinders though the entire night. The line up lacks balance. It needs that weird adult show like crayon shin chan or fooly cooly, or space dandy to really mellow you out. It can't be all "HUMANS ARE DEAD THIS IS THE END CAN YOU FILL MY EDGE!!!!!!!!!!"
>>
>>92251444
Normies finally learned they could stream. The only one they can't stream at any time is Jack. And hmm would you look at that, it's also the only show that doesn't have abhorrent ratings
>>
>>92251511
>he honestly thinks garbage like shin chan would get any viewership and not be a weekly black hole where TVs get turned off

I'm fine with them airing something comedy oriented but it still needs to have the action element. Shin chan is better of next to its American counterpart of ironically poor art, Squidbillies
>>
>>92250149
I think you're right about that, dumbest thing they've done in a while

AS deserves to fail after cancelling MDE because it made them butthurt, even though it got good ratings and was good television.

hope AS all lose their jobs too.

I know we can expect the new season of code geass back on right?

Also they should really try to buy some of gonzo's cheap shit they've done it plenty in the past.

Stop shilling this garbage.

I doubt we would get Geass without the prior seasons airing first, it's been a long as fuck time since those aired on AS. But that's like a years worth of episodes so I wouldn't count on it

Hearing Sam Hyde cry like a bitch on Tim Heidecker's podcast after the show was cancelled was more entertaining than anything MDE has ever done.

Geass didn't get good numbers on its first Adult Swim run, so I doubt they'd give it another try.

In fairness,though, AS barely promoted it at all. I think it got one 15 second bump promo and that was it.
>>
>>92251807
is this supposed to offend me or something
>>
>>92251733
>Full Metal Panic

Good choice. A fine show, and maybe a Toonami run will help save the fourth season from collapsing on itself before it can get made.

>Solty Rei

Boring. Next.

>Gad Guard

This show is really underrated. Great art style and a unique take on mecha. Feels like an urban jazz-infused Digimon, with robots instead of monsters. It would be a great addition.

>Desert Punk

A funny show that's smarter than it seems at first, kind of like Dandy. Also a good choice.

>Final Fantasy Unlimited

Yeah, no. This show was so shitty Square revoked the license halfway through its planned run, ending it abruptly. Not that it matters since it had no real story anyway.
>>
>>92251803
>Stop shilling this garbage
C'mon, son. Would it really be any worse than anything that's currently on the block?
>>
>>92251336
I absolutely agree with you.
But it's pretty easy to form a picture of DeMarco's tastes given what he picks for the block and he's pretty into the edge Any time it's not an obvious big name long runner like Naruto or Jojo he goes for the 14 year old picks with blood and demon and shit.
>>
>>92251521
>Normies finally learned they could stream.
That's my absolute favorite part of this whole saga.
Toonami aired commercials for Crunchyroll a year and a half straight. I know they probably don't have a lot of control over what ads they get but they were actively pimping their largest competitor.
