What the hell happened last Saturday that caused everybody to stay home and watch Toonami? O_O

 

[B-Dubs]

The only thing I can think of is no one could sleep due to pre-E3 hype.

 

[MikeMyers]

What InuYasha episode was that? To gather such high ratings!

 

[ASSauLTxMasTER]

Mhmm, i'm lovin' the rating reactions.

Ah, yes, Andrex, the ToonamiGAF with Steve Blum, did he ever give you one without music?

Dark Priestess Tsubaki taking control of Kagome and stuff

If SAO does as well as I think it will Toonami should be able to break at least 5 1 million shows at this rate

This has got to be some kind of freak occurrence, I can't think of anything that would cause it.

Obviously Aizen used his powers to convince people to stay up all night

 

[B-Dubs]

It's the only thing that makes sense.

 

[MikeMyers]

It might be because a lot of kids are outta school, and thus don't have to rely on Saturday as their going out night.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I remember Tsubaki being the first "shit's getting real!" storyline of InuYasha.

 

[789shadow]

I LOVE THESE RATINGS.

Spoiler

Super drop this week, even Bleach under a million.

 

[B-Dubs]

Yup. I doubt everyone stayed up just to watch it though.

 

[Amikami]

WOW! What the fuck happened last Toonami night. Those ratings are incredible.

 

[BatDan]

Funimation announced they've acquired Rebuild of Evangelion 3.0. Meaning there's a chance we'll see 3.33 on Toonami one night.

 

[Man God]

More people out for summer holidays I would imagine.

 

[heliosRAzi]

It's actually so pretty it warps around to being kind of creepy.

It's also creepy for other reasons entirely, but I digress.

I think sometimes its prettiness gets particularly creepy when it augments the creepiness of another aspect of the show.

In like five years.

Our collective reaction summed up in one gif:

 

[BatDan]

I just noticed there's a 120 second wait between posts now. This better go back down to 60 by Saturday, otherwise Toonami-GAF's activity is going to be weeeeeird.

 

[Dr.Palutena]

Those ratings are amazing, and I too will blame summer vacation starting for them.

 

[SoilBreak]

Those Ratings

 

[Novid]

Well. The advertisers better take notice now.

They however need to see live + 7 ratings - this counts dvrs

Im back (and sorry to Phoenix in advance)

 

[ASSauLTxMasTER]

Mm, hoping for Toonami's official reaction on ratings.

On other news, One Piece ED16, you see where this is going.......

 

[MetatronM]

We're not getting to ED16 for almost a year.

 

[ASSauLTxMasTER]

We're not getting to ED16 for almost a year.

Aw yiss,

Spoiler

Save the feels.

Guess i'll get on another anime.

 

[bananas]

So, about that 11PM hour...

 

[LycanXIII]

So, about that 11PM hour...

They don't want it. I don't even think they want the full 6 hours from some of their posts.

 

[Mature]

They don't want it. I don't even think they want the full 6 hours from some of their posts.

I get this feeling too. Probably because they're still not being paid for it. Maybe this week's ratings will edge them closer to making this part of their real job.

 

[ASSauLTxMasTER]

Ah, for you Demand watchers, I made a redux of the Bleach promo, because I believe they show TOM 3.5 instead:

[Seda]

This is going to make Saturday night a little odd if it's still in place.

 

[B-Dubs]

This is going to make Saturday night a little odd if it's still in place.

For real, its going to be annoying.

 

[LycanXIII]

For real, its going to be annoying.

It would be Foolish of it to continue until then.

 

[Tamanon]

At least I won't have to hear quite as much bitching about Bleach from you guys!

 

[BassForever]

We will just have to make every post count

 

[LycanXIII]

Fool, you'll just see the same posts for twice as long.

 

[BatDan]

Indeed.
Reading the Bleach wiki, this week's episode is going to be fun to snark.

Spoiler

Especially since it relates to current events in the manga. Hehehehehehehe

Oh yes. The two minute thing will still be annoying.

Fool! My posts date back to the 18th century!

What makes you think I didn't post first?
*Aizen smirk*

 

[BatDan]

Foxy used his powers on the posting limit.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

*Bleach related post*

So I've been forcing myself to watch

Spoiler

the fullbring arc in order to catch all the way up with the anime and boy is it bad. Now, I'm one of the few bleach defenders in toonami-gaf but even I am having a hard to slogging through these episodes. It's just too damn boring and I'm completely uninterested at this point. Maybe it's time for a break.

But that arc happens after the arc toonami is on?

Not quite...
There's a filler arc that follows, then

Spoiler

Fullbringer arc

starts Episode 343.
Basically, everything from 311-342 is filler. This is going to be fuuuuuuun.

[Shard]

Still going to be awhile before we see an Engish version, though they are hot potatoing the sub version over here.

I've been watching ahead on crunchy roll. I watched the fake Kurakura (spelling?) town arc when it originally aired in Japan years ago.

And by the time we get that dubbed and finished they'll be most of the way through New Bleach. Now with more bullshit asspulls!

They grabbed that up quick.

 

[Tamanon]

To be fair, the new Bleach stuff in the manga seems like it could be really awesome animated.

And looks like we're back to 60 seconds instead of 120.

Thank god we're back to 60. I don't think I could take only half the snarking.

Old Man Genocide's fight would be cool to see animated, other than that I dunno.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

it's happening again
