The Official Toonami Thread: Fight tha powa!

General Discussion
1981

I tried to spread the word as best I could back when that came on. Didn’t get a chance to watch any of it though. Grumble

1982

My brother.

1983

I think they just need to focus on getting some good shows on there new and old. Preferably shows that bombed in Japan that will likely to appeal to a Western audience. Shows like Big O and Witch Hunter Robin got a new lease on life due to being popular with western fans. They should get their hands on stuff like Redline, Michiko to Hatchin or even Nichijou. Maybe even go into produce their own anime again like they did with IGPX (though I don’t see this happening for a LONG time)

1984

After watching the new opening for Persona Golden, I want Persona animation to be on Toonami, it would fit.

And they need to make OVAs covering Persona Arena, and the extra months shown in P4Golden.

1985

Bobobo needs to return next Saturday.

Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo Gogogo-go Go-gogo

1986

I think that the ratings for the first shows were over 1 million, but FMA likley had a decrease in viewers.

1987

looks like the ratings will be delayed. don’t expect them until tomorrow or thursday; but don’t take my word for it.

1988

Redline would be a great movie feature for them to show. It’s hype as fuck.

1989

Promising news on how Toonami block did

Bleach was ranked #1 in its time-slot for Adult 18-24**,** Adult 18-34**, Men 18-24, and** Men 18-34**

1990

I am scared to see those ratings tbh,
i hope they are at least decent.

EDIT: And 13 reassures me.

1991

Yeah this is good news, been awhile for anime shows to be way up their lol

1992

I wouldnt mind if they showed Redline…but dat ending doe. I’d rather Sword of the Stranger. Wouldn’t be shocked if they eventually get HOTD either

1993

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it only did slightly better than the normal AS Saturday night block. It needs to be better.

1994

I want Hamtaro or Yu Yu Hakusho back.

Don’t ask why.

1995

…He HAS to be trolling

1996

Yes, I’m trolling for wanting Hamtaro back.

:3

1997

No actual numbers. We have to wait another few days until the Son of Bronx will post up the numbers. Realistically speaking, I think the highest rated premier would’ve obtained somewhere from 600-650k viewers, 700k being the highest, while the lowest rated show would’ve gotten less than 100k.

but it really pisses me off that big-daddy Turner won’t give Demarco a bigger fund for the Toonami project. if it was brought back with at least two classic shows, that ratings would’ve increased ten-fold.

1998

Because spending money on no ratings CNN is more important.

1999

lmfao^

cnn still get’s ratings. in fact, it’s turner network’s highest rated cable channel. but they have terrible ratings past 11:00PM though.

2000
