A brand new season of Samurai Jack is being made for Adult Swim Toonami. A sneak peak will be shown at the Annecy Festival in June.

Adult Swim is funding two new 6 episode seasons of FLCL. Expected release is late 2017/early 2018.

Last weeks ratings were a bit underwhelming with the high expectations that were had for the new show. This week was pretty much the same.


12:00a Dragon Ball Z Kai 1361 0.62 786
12:30a Dimension W 1150 0.53 671
1:00a Hunter X Hunter 1012 0.46 578

I thought this was ADULT Swim. Are they going to air Bob the Builder too?

>>82234204
First off, the age bracket is going to be a little different with revival. Second, Jack and Bob are completely different shows. It's like comparing Ren and Stimpy to Dora the Explorer.

That's not a good thing, it's nowhere near cancellation levels yet but these numbers are still down quite a bit from a few months prior
>DBZ struggling more and more to retain Family Guy viewers
>DW is the only thing that keeps consistent numbers but it will be gone soon
>HxH is doing OK but is not performing like a #1 requested show should
>Champloo has a significant drop off weekly
>Nardo and OP always do mediocre
>Parasyte was an awful rerun choice and will probably never break the 700k barrier

Again, it won't be cancelled anytime soon, but it's still performing worse

Ok, so are we all in agreement that the Dimesnison W replacement is make or break choice for the block? We will know what it is by next Saturday.

So any guesses? I am assuming it will be this, it's long overdue. However, since it's the 12:30 slot, there have been rumblings that My Hero Academia may be the choice.

Also, friendly reminder: Watamote will never be on Toonami because there is 0 action, and off topic Watamote posting is reportable
>>
>>82231835

Hmm, not bad. It looks like we have a thing going and considering the (lack of) competition on Saturday nights, DeMarco can probably rest a little easier. That said, after this week, HxH should get a small boost by virtue of there being consistent action/violence and the first appearance of Hisoka.

For reference, we didn't get to this point in the 1999 run until about episode 7 or 8.

>>82234493

True crisis mode will be what will replace Dimension W, but since Funi is playing ball again, we could end up with another 12 ep. runner.
>>
>>82234631
>So any guesses?
Another long runner.
>>
>>82234631
If it is indeed My Hero Academia, we could know as soon as tomorrow. Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash's run ends on DubbleTalk, and DagashiKashi a week from now. If My Hero Academia isn't announced as a replacement for one of them, a Toonami run is all but confirmed.

The runaway success of MLP: FIM proves that there would be a huge market for moe in the west. Toonami was originally the gateway to anime in general, but now that action has a strong hold here Toonami needs to move onto the next frontier to stay relevant.

Demographic share (18-49 or whatever)

Google ratings format for a more precise answer.
>>
>>82237823
Adult Swim was doing literally nothing with the anime block non-entity that existed before Toonami. It ran on endless Bleach, FLCL, FMA, and FLCL reruns in addition to the odd lame dub like Kekkaishi or Durarara. Once NuToonami was started ratings started climbing until they peaked around late 2013-early 2014 and have remained at that level since.
>>
>>82238143
that second FLCL was supposed to be Cowboy Bebop I'm an idort.
>>
>>82238102
So 1.3 million people watched dbz
62% of (dbz demographic) watched it
.78 million of the people who watched it were in the demographic
right?

>>82238143
You forgot GITS and Big O
>>
>>82238143
They peaked a bit later than that. Attack on Titan and Space Dandy s1 premieres were somewhat frequently getting sub-1m viewers. It took Family Guy leading into Kai to get things consistently not panicky.

>>82237733
It's definitely a product of its time from how predictable the plot seems and the monster of the week formula is kinda weak but I can't say it's unenjoyable. The hot-blooded type of show like Kill la Kill the block could use right now, it would be hard to screw up selling the show in a promo.
>>
>>82238856

>the next DBZ

Who said that? Most people said that it was good, but no one would be foolish enough to compare DBZ to it in terms of broad appeal.

Demographic share is not a percentage. I don't honestly know how it works desu but I've seen a 1.3 in that section before.

Honestly they should switch Naruto and OP whenever one is on filler. Put filler toward the back of the block and let canon episodes take the front. Give preference to Naruto when both are canon though.

Usually they only dub things they believe will mesh well with a sizable portion of fans (or rather enough to make the process of dubbing it profitable). Granted that size probably varies. However if things like Highschool DxD, Gintama: The Movie, and Dagashi Kashi can get dubbed then I wouldn't be surprised by much else

Hardly see that as a shocker, everyone likes anime tiddies, and that's what that ones all about, plus some action to boot.

I agree that Parasyte was a bad choice for rerun and AGK would have probably done better in that slot despite being a worse show. I don't think subpar performance by one show will make the other one a network darling though.

Bebop S2 is more likely than anything AGK with [as]'s help.

No, I think YOU forget that. Adult Swim is greatest when they take risks. Do you like original programming like Venture Bros, Metalocalypse, and Mike Tyson Mysteries, or would you rather see the network live off of the superior ratings from Fox leftovers?

Now I ask again: do you want to see Toonami take risks and air something out of the ordinary or would you rather watch it settle for mediocre but consistent ratings from long-running shounen?

whew boy. Feeling apocalyptic right now. I dont know about you folks but I watch DBZ>DW>Fuckoff for a half hour>champloo>sleep.

If DW's replacement is poor I just dont know, I mean Champloo is great but that hour gap.. oh wait I fapped before during one piece and naruto.

alright nevermind, one hour fapathon will be back on if DW's replacement sucks!
>>
>>82246896
Adult Swim has literally functioned as it has because of piggybacking off of Fox shows. Futurama, Family Guy, American Dad, they are the tentpole shows that allow the network to take as many risks with different shows as they do. Toonami and larger budget original programming like Rick and Morty is a pretty big change in direction.

All I'm saying is Adult Swim has a reputation for unpredictability and it has worked very well for them. If they can get a cheap, 13-episode moe show to stick in the rerun slot just to see how it would do, I think that'd be a fine idea.
>>
>>82247177
Not knocking moe shows because there are plenty that are good, but moe anime is literal anathema to Adult Swim and by extension Toonami's audience. It'd be the equivalent of MTV (when they still aired music videos) showing Grand 'Ol Opry tapings, the audiences are so far apart.

Ok I can support this. Contrary to the doom and gloom, Toonami itself as it is now is not a risk for AS. It's actually their consistently highest rated piece of programming that isn't Fox.

Taking a risk would be putting on a lesser known action anime, rather than grabbing long running shonenshit and FotM titles. Things like Deadman Wonderland fit this demographic. Unfortunately, as soon as Demarco got a slight budget increase, these types of risk shows went away for good.

Airing something that has nothing to do with the original intent of the block isn't a risk, it's being downright retarded
>>
>>82248377
It was so many hours prior that you started that I didn't think we were still on that. That's on me for being a retard.

>Airing something that has nothing to do with the original intent of the block isn't a risk, it's being downright retarded
Where else would it be remotely possible to air moe anime for the purposes of testing western audiences? Moe is an untapped market here and if there is a viable viewership for it then I'd like to see Toonami and Adult Swim get a piece of it.
>>
>>82248611
Nowhere. Toonami is an ACTION cartoon block. Not a cute girls doing cute things block. Moe is an even bigger niche market than action anime, and that barely does good enough to stay on the air 3 hours per week in the middle of the night.

You used MLP as an example but it's not anything near the same. MLP is an extreme example of an Internet meme spiraling way out of control. The people that """like""" it, do so because of the dank meme culture that it spawned. Without that happening, it would have just stayed a regular cartoon for little girls like it was supposed to be
>>
>>82248950
>Moe is an even bigger niche market than action anime,
That's because moe never got a breakout hit like DBZ or any airtime at all.

US distributors have tried and failed in various ways over the years to release moe dubs. Lucky Star, Madoka, hell the Love Live dub tanked. Moe only has a future with streaming and without a dub, foreign audiences have made it repeatedly clear.

Nichijou is a rare exception. Most are boring in-joke reference otaku shows like lucky star or boring ass "comfy" series like k-on.

I honestly like neither these days because they either simply don't have good enough writing to keep them entertaining or the other extreme they rely too much on fan service to keep an audience. I love porn but if a series leans too much on its fan service I will drop it on principle.

Anyways enough talk about moe. It won't happen.

>>82250082
A lot of those types of shows rely on you to bring your experiences in and connect to the characters on that basis. As a guitar player, K-On! was a lot of fun because I got to watch Yui go through a lot of the things I went through starting out and all the things I haven't done yet with my music. Lucky Star does rely a lot on in-jokes, but I understood enough of them to follow it well enough. I think the problem isn't so much the genre as the narrow field of shows from the western perspective. Every discussion on moe seems to condense down to K-On and Lucky Star with rare exceptions. There are other shows out there that could work just fine.

Oh you do have feelings? Thats great. Keep it in your room then. Moe will never last on something like toonami. It will never happen on toonami. Toonami is an action FOCUSED block. Period. To do something different would compromise everything about the block. The only thing you moe fags could possibly have is shitty regional dubbed moeshit on the disney channel or whatever the hub used to be, but you won't like that because the dub would suck and all your little waifu character's names would have to change because after all heaven forbid our children be exposed to another culture.

You can tell luffy to fuck off all you want. I will still be here to tell you that you are some dumb idiot whose ideas will ring hallow here. You are literally pissing into the wind.

Of course they can. This thread has brought a few action series, I mean every thread brings up quite a few action series that should come to toonami. Its a crime that something like Ushio to Tora or Hajime no Ippo isn't on toonami. Hell I wish Hajime no Ippo was one of those series they had in the early 2000s.

Of course there is always room for improvement. At least be lucky that you can always turn off your TV boot up your PC and download really what ever you can find on the internet.

Champloo had the biggest ratings drop off of the night for like 2 months. It's a terrible lead in for Naruto. Actually, Naruto did better than Champloo a few nights ago

Naruto may be a pile of garbage, but without any doubt it performs better than OP. Who cares anyway? Any sane person flips the TV off after Champloo. Hopefully HxH moves to 1:30 in favor of the Champloo replacement so all the generic shonen trash is easily skippable

Fair enough. Maybe had they said from the "creator of Yu Yu Hakusho", then engagement would be a little higher. Nonetheless, since we're stuck with it, it's either 100+ weeks of bitching about it/enjoying the ride/not watching at all; there's a very small subset of people who look to the block for what's new or worth checking out.

Also, for what it's worth, a million two weeks in a row is pretty good, if it gets a million again, then we're all being cynical for no real reason.

>>82269859

Dandy was a simuldub and we started Dimension W a few weeks behind the Japanese release, so there is precedent.
>>
>>82271942
I'm not saying HxH is pulling terrible ratings, it is doing fine. But for a number 1, or atleast top 5 request for well over a year, it should be doing better than barely a million. Maybe it shapes up later on, only time will tell.
>say it's from the creator of YYH
I don't understand why people think this does anything. The shows are widely different. Similarities pick up much later, but by then people would have dropped it

Widely different, yes, but people are more inclined to give a work a try if it's from someone they know/the previous work was popular. Like, for example, if Watanabe wasn't attached to M&H, we probably would not have gotten it.

Personally, I don't like it because it can't seem to decide what the hell it is. Every episode or two seems to be an entirely different genre (first episode felt like Blade Runner, then we suddenly had superheroes, then the show became a supernatural murder mystery, etc). The only reason it still has my attention is because I made a game out of counting every time they say "coil".

In case anyone is curious what the running total is, since I normally just post the week-to-week stats, we're up to 113 coils.

That's the trouble with 12 episode shows. They gotta shove a ton of material in a small timeframe. Because of that, it feels like it has warp speed pacing and a confused direction

Its adorable knowing that every weekday Toonami thread is always

>KLK waifu/shitposting
>"Hey guys when will MEMEME! come on the block" with a spoiler
>Autists posting moeshit anime that would never air on the block (ie. Love Story, Watamote, or whatever the taste of the month is)
>

This is 50% of the thread right now. Do you people have lives or is shitposting Kill La Kill or Mememe! the only things that glue your worthless lives together? Just curious because more and more I don't come to these threads on the weekdays or weekends because of the same bullshit.

>Hajime no Ippo
Sadly unlicensed after Geneon let the license expire. Apparently the only reason Geneon finished dubbing the first season was because the people working on it REALLY liked it, but the sales were abysmal (IIRC, the final DVD sold only 100 units total).

>Ushio to Tora
This, however, I'd say don't rule out yet. Sentai has the license to the current adaptation and it's one of the few 2015 acquisitions from them that I could see ending up on Toonami. They had said they were hoping to get a 2015 anime on Toonami next, so I wouldn't be surprised if Ushio to Tora gets on this year.

You must not come to them ever, because all that bullshit you listed has been going on for years, newfag. Such is the fate of any general

Could be worse, I could be a worthless capeshit poster.

Well I get why Ippo isn't on toonami. Its older and only gets a season once a decade/5 years. I consider it a crime to this day that they get get Beck, mongolian chop squad and Ippo back when I was 14 and watching anime every night. I feel like I would have appreciated both of those series had I watched them sooner.

The opposite, the military fucking lays waste to magic stuff, they shoot down dragons with harriers, etc, it's JSDF propaganda so blatant it makes past nationalist manga and anime look tame.

I guess I'd be okay with it on Toonami? I'd pretty much watch it with the same mindset I did for Akame Ga Kill.

It's the exact opposite. The Japanese Army completely makes the world its bitch but also the Author has a huge hard-on for hating other countries.

By far, my favorite quote is "One of the soldiers infiltrating us is a dark skinned man!" "What? Negro Color? Only the Americans use Negros in the Army" or something along those lines.

Making America, Russia, and China it's bitch while that girl in the gothic attire destroy them all

Into the trash with all the other unrealistic masturbatory daydream fantasy bullshit Japan produces.

Absolutely this.

The blatant JSDF propaganda is insurmountable in this anime, manga, and Light Novel (?). They write it off that the JSDF is the most technically advanced army on Earth at one point (probably propaganda but also to make all the inhabitants of the other world fear them and get along with them faster.

I think the biggest thing that made me roll my eyes was that when they arrived and they were wrecking shit, everyone from the other world said they're the nicest people ever, helping people and I quote "Not raping my daughter like all the other so called Heroes we've come across"

Also the untranslated LN I believe; or at least this is what someone in /a/ said. There are Dark Elves and one female Dark Elf insist that she should be the MC slave because he's white and she's a lesser skin tone.
