Looks like the episode break down is 7/7/5/6

So basically 1, 2, 3 will air before the first DVD set is (officially) out and 8 will air before the second DVD set is out. Episodes might certainly show up online before the release dates of course.

Looks like they've got this pretty well planned out then. If nothing else it'll be an interesting watch.

The Magi anime's definitely great and everyone I know who's seen it but not read the manga thinks so as well. (Conversely, 100% of the people who've read the manga have told me the anime is garbage.)

Magi anime is better then your average anime am glad you enjoyed it but the reason why it's hated so much by manga fans is it could of been so much more, it doesn't do the source material justice it was apparent the anime team was a bad match after we had a few interviews from them before it aired, with director saying they wish main character was a loli in those interview it showed they didn't have much interest in magi and wished they where working on some other moe show or more accel world, but on the plus side they did mention the author was involved of the project and gave the ok for certain changes.

Demarco should of got Magi from Aniplex instead of Sao.

On Aniplex side it was a genius marketing move to get toonami to air the anime while there releasing the anime at the same time and even better for them the anime is only aired a few months ago in japan so it's still pretty new.

Questionable quality of the later episodes aside the fanbase is clearly hot for SAO. It looks good and the buzz around it both good and bad has people hyped.

I'd say this easily on the level of the original FMA/Ghost in the Shell/Bleach/One Piece in terms of hype for the product's launch on Toonami.

Magi isn't ready. Episode 6 is a fucking clusterfuck.

Even though I've already watched SAO I'm pretty excited to see how it will do on toonami. It should get good ratings, I'm thinking it'll average around 800K per week. Looking forward to reading the reactions in this thread on Saturday nights, they're always entertaining.

Been noticing something funny on Twitter. Pacific Rim has been trending worldwide for the past 2 days and yet we couldn't get it to trend even in the US. We suck. Also, where are the ratings? We usually have them by now.

Last weekend was a pseudo-holiday weekend. Maybe related to why we don't have ratings yet.

I'm expecting only Bleach to break a million, based on this:

Turner Ratings Department Press Releases and Fine Cheeses said:
Saturday night’s TOONAMI presented a block of new episodes, including Bleach (12 a.m.), Naruto (12:30 a.m.), One Piece (1 a.m.), and Soul Eater (1:30 a.m.) that each ranked #1 in its respective time periods among men 18-24.

Yeah, I definitely don't have high expectations for this past weekend's ratings, even though Soul Eater was particularly awesome.

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
Whoa.
So strange to see Bleach that low. Combination of UFC and filler. Really awful filler too.

Dear lord those numbers are depressing. I know there was a big UFC fight and it was a holiday weekend but still.

I'm sure we'll bounce back this week, especially with Bleach filler ending and Soul Eater picking up steam.
