So, I can assume they're just going to spam Dragonshit from here on out.

>>95160260
It's going to add more fuel to the fire, especially after this week when ratings go right back to shit

The fact that a marathon did this well feels more like a bad sign than a good one.

Do Ratings take into account streaming like Billboard does for music?

>>95160260
Fuck off fag.

>>95160397
I think so, but only the official AS stream

>>95160328
It means the block's going into the dragonshitter.
Just imagine it:
11-11:30pm: DBS
12-12:30am: DBZ Kai
1-1:30am: Dragon Ball
2-2:30am: DBGT

>>95160396
It kinda is
>Jojo has never went over 700k
>dipped into the 500k territory last week
>people make excuses and say it's the new norm
>marathon happens and a RERUN of Dragonshit pulls over 700k in the same timeslot
The rest of the slots were around where they usually are, which isn't good either, but it's especially bad for Jojo since it's the one show with a wide margin difference

>>95160536
No they wouldn't do that, DB and GT have zero nostalgia value. If it don't have Goku people aren't gonna watch. This would be more likely
12 - Super
12:30 - Kai (restarting from episode one after it finishes next year
1 - AS owned rerun ( Bebop, GitS etc)
1:30 - AS owned rerun
And that's it. Block packaging transitions to a generic non changing version, not that that is much different than now

>>95160629
GT maybe but Dragon Ball has plenty of retrovalue. Its probably the best of the Dragon Balls content wise and it'd do well as a replacement for HxH or Lupin when they end. Plus, its Dragon Shit, people will watch no matter what.

>>95159942
>Marathon this week, actually did way better than the normal lineup.
Fucking Dragonfags. It really shows that Dragon Ball is all they come to this block for. Even though Kai is just a glorified rerun of the original Z.

>>95160629
Are you serious? There are people (not very smart people) who feel nostalgia over GT.

>>95160721
I don't think you understand how the normie DBZ watcher thinks. Which is a good chunk of the current Kai audience. If it's not Z or Super they aren't gonna watch.

>>95160773
I have literally never seen GT focused memes on any of my social media shit. They are always Z or Super. And really even then it's just Z. And I do a good job of hiding my power level and have mostly normal, well adjusted friends

>>95160830
It may not have the memes, but there are fags who like it. It's just not as popular as Z, but that really isn't saying much. If it aired on Toonami, the ratings wouldn't be Jojo or Lupin tier, I guarantee you that.

>>95160893
I don't know man, I am trying to think really hard of a time I saw people talking about GT in a way that wasn't ironic or in jest and can't think of a single one

>>95160963
I know I'm sounding ridiculous, but there are actual faggots who like the show and if it aired they are going to watch it. Hell, even the people being ironic would watch it just for lels.

What have the ratings been for the AS nostalgia block?

the more you keep posting about toonami dying, the less dead the block becomes. great strategy

>>95161216
>Thinking Dragon Ball spam makes the block "less dead".

>>95161216
Anti meme magic.

Toonami airing OG Dragon Ball is a no-brainer for multiple reasons

Dragon Ball has only aired, from start to finish, once in the US. Even GT got aired in full on Nick. It's rarely been seen in the US (IIRC the DVDs are even OOP) and more to the point, they can they can run it for about three years (DB is 150 episodes) which in turn allows them the perfect set up to bring Kai back in terms of airing Kai as soon as DB wraps, to bring back interest in people to watch Kai

>>95161335
I don't like the block being reduced to that.

>>95161335
Where on the block would DB even fit? No way they'd put it up near the front. Also after having read your post I kinda want to die.

>>95161385
Well as I said, it's a rarely seen series and one that can bring in eyeballs since (again) it's only aired a single time before and has a level of mystique to it to new fans who may never of caught it the first time it aired.

>>95159942
>mfw when it was actually higher than expected

Well fuck me sideways

>>95161212
Not out yet.

>>95161464
>>95161335

This. Anime snobs might bitch and cry, but Dragon Ball is casual friendly cat nip because of it being Dragon Ball Z related and can easily be paired with Dragon Ball Super.

>>95161509
Any idea when that'll be?

>>95161628
Monday's ratings won't be in for the next few days and the numbers for the rest of the week won't fully come in until probably next Monday or Tuesday.

>>95161672
Thanks

The problem with Dragon Ball is three-fold:

1. It's a long runner. Three year commitment to run it from start to finish. Granted the show starts off strong with a fast pace, but it grinds to a screaming halt as soon as the Red Ribbon Army arc starts.

2. It's tonally different from Dragon Ball Z/Super. It's a comedy show with martial arts filler. The bulk of the supporting cast from Z and Super are MIA, and more importantly a lot of the plot material DB establishes got retconned and retconned HARD by DBZ making everyone alien to the point that it's kind of pointless to go back and revisit it.

3. And this is the most important: Toonami HAS TO ween itself off of Dragon Ball Z in order to survive. The block's bet pretty much EVERYTHING on the Dragon Ball Z franchise and nostalgia bullshit, while watching as pretty much every other new show flounder and suffer badly. They need to start slowly purging DBZ stuff from the line up so that they can find and start showing GOOD anime that can carry the block rather than bank on nostalgia that makes all of the other shows ratings look worse.

>>95161792
>Super ends never
>Jojo ends late next year
>HxH ends in 2019
>Nardo still has about 6 1/3 years left
Dragon Ball really shouldn't be that much of a problem. Even if it was, there's nothing stopping them from cutting it mid-run like they did with OP. And besides, the block's in a downward spiral as is. There is no saving this block so we might as well enjoy what time we have left,

I can't make sense out of this.

>>95161792
> the bulk of the supporting cast from Z and Super are MIA

what cast? Z's core cast barely expands outside Gohan, Krillin, Piccolo, and Vegeta, and there's no supporting cast in Super beyond Bulma and Jaco. If anything Dragonball's commitment to a larger core cast should be welcome.

Mika finally dies in IBO for being a piece of shit, Orga and worst Char too too. There I just saved you guys a massive time waste. Also some chick named Juietta confirmed as main writer's stand in, Sonichu leveled no less.

Can someone PLEASE explain where the bullshit "Toonami is dying" bullshit meme came from?

The block is doing well and continues to chug along with no real trouble.

Are the posters spreading the "Toonami is dying" lie just bitter little faggots trying to meme the block off the air, because they are pissy that the network isn't showing Moe shit and other garbage anime they would rather see airing on the block?

>>95162046
>>95162173

The ED gives it away. It was a shitty Gundam when taken as a whole, to be honest.

>>95162308

People are saying that it's dying because we have yet to have a SINGLE week better than 2016. When was the last time a show hit 1M, Anon?

I'm not saying it's dying, but it's not doing great either. When a marathon night pulls a better average than the regular lineup for the past 2 months there is a problem

Which is why I've started rewatching G Gundam online. Even with all the cheesiness, its still miles above the train wreck the block's about to get back.

>>95162444
There is no issue. Like I said, I don't care about the health of the block anymore seeing as its a lost cause at this point. Truth be told, I could just stream it like I will with G Gundam but its not the same as watching it on the block.

Is it too homosexual looking to watch for some? Is it just too manly for others? You'd think a show with punch ghosts would do so well in America.

>>95164493
There is a part of me that absolutely feels this way but there's another that only slogs through the week because of these threads and shows.

>>95164168
It's pretty much guaranteed DBZ will restart from episode 1 next year.

>>95164522
JoJo is fucking trash only "liked" ironically by memers

>>95164522
>le punch ghosts xdddd
It's not doing good because it's a dogshit series. It had a huge spike of popularity a few years ago, but most of that was caused by memes. And like everything that relies on memes as fuel, it ran out of gas quick. Long before Toonami even got P1. Now people are forced to actually watch the series and not just upvote funny pictures on Reddit, and are quickly realizing what a garbage series it is

>>95164526
I used to be exactly like you. I don't think my life has gotten that much better, but the quality of Toonami has gotten significantly lower. I actually look forward to marathons now because I know it's a night I can skip guilt free

>>95164548
I honestly hope we can reach cancellation by that point. Not trying to be a doomsayer, but I'd rather Toonami be cancelled now and at least go out on a meh note, over trudging along an extra year or so because Kai reruns kept it barely above water.

More like most of the kids spouting Jojo memes never actually watched the show. Just like how 10 years ago people spouting Jojo memes didn't read the manga, basically everybody going WRYYYYYY on /b/ and /v/ thought JJBA was a video game. And they didn't even play the game either. That's just how memes work: it's a low barrier to entry. Simply saying the meme is the joke, even if you don't understand it at all you can still fit in with everybody else by appearing to get the joke behind it.

>>95167354
Honestly part 3 is by far my least favorite. In part 1 you've got prototypical good-hearted hero Jonathan Joestar to root for with a classic vampire story mixed with Fist of the North Star martial arts, in part 2 you've got Joseph Joestar's trademark ruse cruise, but in part 3 you've got stoic autistic asshole Jotaro and his token similarly built crew featuring almost useless Joseph fighting Punch Ghost Monster of the Week that widely vary in quality but either way you won't be seeing ever again after their inevitable defeat with lots of canon episodes that honestly feel like filler. Then you've got part 4 redeeming the Punch Ghost concept by introducing you to the Daily Life of Punch Ghost Users. All part 3 got going for it is a strong villain that ultimately is just a rehash of part 1's villain and only starts getting more interesting than "ominous shadow sending out Villains of the Week" at the literal ass-end of the show. Seriously, DIO's involvement in part 3 compared to Dio's, Kars' or Kira's in their respective parts is minimal at best.

>>95167483
If it weren't for all the memes I doubt anybody would like Part 3 at all. It's just not very exciting and like you said it feels like canon filler most of the time. I get the impression Araki originally billed Part 3 for like 30 chapters at most and they told him it had to last 150.

>>95167535
Part 3 was actually supposed to have been the series finale but the manga performed so well, they decided to keep the money train going.

The toonami dying meme has been here since the first airing of nu-toonami started.

But very recently all channels on Television have been feeling the effects of online-streaming (hence, the low-ratings across the board)

Nu-Toonami back in the day used to have at LEAST one show break a million, and commonly 2-4 shows would break a million. But as of now the ratings are dogshit, but because [as] and CN are experiencing this as well.

Toonami isn't dying per se, but for the most part Toonami is still well and alive and we even gained a new slot.

>still well and alive
Jojo and soon Gundam are going to be tanking the block harder and harder each week. It's may not be dying but it's far from well and alive

>>95175020
I would hardly call it alive and well when there hasn't been any million shows since Jack, and things are gradually slipping. Not to mention JoJo and Gundam being blackholes

>>95175332
Even Jack was an isolated case. Once it ended each night the ratings took a nosedive

I think it has gotten so bad that removing Dragon Ball will kill the block on sight.

>>95160629
You high? Goku's in all three of them. Even Adult Goku is still present in all of them.

If anything GT is just not well remembered for its weak-ass villains and the STEP INTO THE GRAND TOUR theme it originally came to America with.

I foresaw this ages ago. DBZ Kai ending is basically the apocalypse for Toonami, there's no winning scenario. They only have two options: restart DBZ Kai or Replace it, either case is going to see huge viewership dropoff.

While that may be, Kissanime and the like are effortless to use. Type in what show you want and there it is, basically everything is available on those sites. Their streams cap out at 1080, but that's more than enough for the casual. Only hardcore fans give a shit about a few extra pixels. /a/ will have you believe stream sites are like they were in 2006, with a microscopic screen, watermarks everywhere and heavy particles. Just not how it is anymore, which is why places like KA have exploded in popularity

>>95183566
Yeah, Cruncyroll is serviceable for sure. But it triggers my autism so anybody who says they stream gets the greentext.

>>95164147
Anon, you know that will never happen because Toonami's literally incapable of airing good shows that aren't for normalfags.

>>95181664
Not necessarily the future just yet, if Netflix's financial troubles are any indication, but it is still doing better than linear cable as far as normalfags are concerned. One thing cable has over streaming is that it's cheaper than paying for a half-dozen services, which is more enticing to poorfags and people that don't have the means to pay for every service.

If the Toonami crew was smart, they'd revive Jetstream/Reactor and give access to free dubs and simulcasts of select shows and use that for simuldub premieres and the like. I believe the [as] site already does this to an extent, so they need to push it more and bring out all the stops.

All that does is increase parity with TV rips. Streams will never, ever, be anywhere as good as BD rips, because not even HD TV broadcasts can compare to BD rips due to the limitations on broadcast bandwidth.

Is there a difference here? I'm not seeing it

>>95188799
Slightly lower resolution. Really not that big of a deal unless you're really concerned about that, though. Anon's just trying to prove a point here.

>>95188697
Sony has almost nothing going on in the anime space as far as North America is concerned and never really have. They tried to push Rurouni Kenshin in syndication back in the day (under the Samurai X moniker) which didn't pan out (as you probably know Media Blasters scooped up the license afterwards and dubbed it to moderate success). They were supposed to launch Animax as a channel in the States back in 2008 or so, but that never happened and instead just added a few titles to Crackle which is still to this day the "nobody gives a shit" of streaming services

>>95186112
Streaming is still the future. Netflix's debt is the result on massive spending to produce original content, as their board (correctly) predicted a few years ago that as they get more successful more and more TV networks won't give them their shows in favor of making their own streaming service to exclusively carry them.

Anime is different because it was an early adopter for the stream model because nobody wanted to wait 5-9 months for a show to wrap and release on home video. CR doesn't have to worry about making original shit (though word is they will anyway)

I'm no expert but i doubt they'd change the way the company operates day to day, given how much of a well-oiled machine Funimation is.

It starts with little tweaks here and there and soon enough, the whole system is out of whack.

You're missing the big picture here, it's a sight for sore eyes just for that alone.

They do almost everything in-house (from writing, DVD and packaging planning, to stream encoding) and their simuldub output is second to none. You can argue the dubs themselves are ass, which is possible (and in some cases true) but from a logistics perspective you'd have to be a giant retard to think that their self-sufficiency is bad

>Toonami came back in 2012

It was a good run lads

>>95196434
Not really. We started off great, had a giant spike sometime around AgK and have been on a downward spiral ever since. Let's face it, bringing the block back was a mistake.

>>95196660
It's just ridiculous that the successful formula was super clear and proven, so they move away from it and kill the block

It was bound to happen anyway. Streams and downloading is killing TV. DeMarco's piss poor management just sped things up a bit.

Does Super finally get good this week?

One Punch Man
Ping Pong
Mob Psycho
Drifters
Ushio to Tora
My Hero Academia
Blood Blockade Battlefront

I think these shows have potential for Toonami. Honestly we need more modern and quality anime.

>>95167535
i see this rumor about literally every single successful long-running anime and it's literally never once actually true.

>>95198737
>Toonami NEEDS One Punch Man
Who do you fucking think premiered the dub copernicus

>>95198819

You're missing the point.

>>95198807
See >>95168043. I doubt it was supposed to have been shorter simply because publishers are money grubbers. Cell wasn't even supposed to have been in the DBZ manga but the editors thought the androids weren't scary and villainous enough by themselves so they made Toriyama keep going back to the drawing board until we got Cell. And of course there was the existence of the Buu saga itself due to executive meddling. Though we think JoJo was always popular, sales from Parts 1 & 2 weren't really all that good. Part 3 was supposed to have been it but I guess when publishers saw the Yen rolling in from people's love of punchghosts, they made Araki keep rolling out material. Though we think manga writers do this for fun, we must remember that this is a business first and foremost.

I will never understand people's obsession with Dragon Ball. Z hasn't aged as well as everyone thinks, they put out a new vidya every 6 months retelling the same story over again for the past 15 years or so, GT and Super were/are trash and the best series (OG Dragonball) doesn't get airtime anymore. Yet it still draws enough eyeballs for a Kai marathon to beat the normal lineup in viewership and for DeMarco to air 3 super episodes every week. The nostalgia's long since worn off for me yet everyone else can't seem to turn away from it..

>Looks too much like an edgier One Piece for my taste.
Isn't one of the reasons OP failed in the west (besides bad first impression) was that it looked too fucking kiddy? I always assumed FT made the better impression here BECAUSE it dodged that hurdle, meanwhile OP only has a group of very dedicated followers.

Luffy's got that dumb hurrp durrf friendship grin while Natsu has that hell yeah im fucking natsu you fucking piece of shit grin.

>mashima went from rave master to this shit

>>95199860
I don't know about everyone else but my problem with OP was the pacing. One chapter per episode really made the pace seem glacial. I didn't mind the kiddie nature of OP as it helped balance out the edge from the other shows on the block. FT just doesn't look as fun as OP.

>>95199974
On the other hand, FT does have actual good pacing and barely any filler compared to the shounens the block has/had aired.

It also has lewds.

>>95199913
Seriously? Well, shit. What a letdown.

>>95200003
Modern anime's lewds are pretty tasteless. Now it's all accidental gropeings, beach episodes and nosebleeds. Not to say there was none of that back in the day but it was handled better back then in a way that didn't make it seem so cringy as it does now.

I wonder what >>95200000 is?

>>95200086
Nvm. It was wasted quints.

Toonami (somehow) isn't dead.
Give it CPR
Consider that the beginning of its therapy.

>>95200629
Won't work. In ten more years cable really will be dead. This is the last hurrah for Toonami

>>95200664
We need to let it die, anon. The best thing we can do now is to put it, out of it's misery and move on with our lives.

>>95200681
I doubt TV will die altogether. I think by that point, it'll be like radio, something you have to watch news or whatever popular mainstream stuff is on but nothing else. Certainly niche content like Toonami'll be dead by then. I suspect the only step after that is for all new shows to premiere online and for TV to be just one giant TVLand/Boomerang/Nicktoons that just air the classic shows from back in the day (present day backwards) in an endless loop. It sucks but that's the only viable pathway at this point.

is it time for Toonami to embrace comedy, romance, SOL, and moe?

>>95200849
Nah, DeMarco just needs to be canned for someone who knows what they're doing and the block needs to become a stream online.

Do stream views, DVRs and twitter trends not account for the block's performance? I thought it was just more than flat numbers.

>>95200875
they could at least get some old stuff from the 80s and 90s.

they could start with Ranma. no matter how shit the dub might be.

>>95200952
They're trying that with Outlaw Star but the numbers still aren't going up. Now they're putting Bebop back on the block but I doubt it'll do that much good.

>>95201007
we've seen that before.

they need new old stuff.

dirty pair, bubblegum crisis, slayers.

>>95199107
Yeah again, your dragon ball rumors there have been disproven.

>>95200931
Twitter yes, DVR if it's same day I think, streams possibly, but that would be on AS to report.

>>95201101
I doubt they'd shell out the money for that unless they were guaranteed that it'd get the viewership they hoped.

>>95200793
>cute girl brains different cute girl for seemingly no reason
Why isn't this this on Toonami?

>>95200952
Demarco confirmed Ranma was something they could never get

>>95200952
Except that isn't the solution. Notice how all that old stuff is kept at the ass end? Outside of DBZ, old animation is viewership repellent

>>95201386
gee bill, how come no one is staying up to 1am or later?

I would shift Toonami to start a 9pm and end at 1am.

No more Fox cartoons in the line up.

>>95201476
Yeah but the tradeoff would be that we wouldn't be able to show the really ma rated stuff. If the block was moved to an earlier slot, it'd almost certainly have to be more pg 13 than it is now. That's why AS usually leads off with KotH. It may throw in a few swears here and there but it is a pretty pg show. That's the same reason something like Reddit & Meme only airs after 10 at the earliest.

>>95201589
South Park is at 10 and basic bitch cable just like CN.

>>95201628
I meant at 10pm and later. usually when it airs earlier in the day, the things that they would let air on nighttime cable is censored out.
