The Toonami Thread

I think what's more important is the retention rates. The story to me is that people are tuning in for Blue Exorcist and Black Lagoon. Deadman Wonderland, with its prime 12:30 real estate, barely broke above a million.

I posted a reply to Sketch's post about this early yesterday.

It has yet to see posted there.

Which probably means Sketch did not approve it.

Whatever. i'm .... .used to that. -_-

Beware the Batman is coming May 10th starting at 3am.

You forgot the really big news: they're playing the previously-unaired episodes!

Got cable troubles. Anyway I can stream tonight's Toonami? Preferably legally?

Not sure if this helps, but it's legal.

Hm. May try that tonight.

It's Easter. People are on vacation. They're living in different arrangements. Events are canceled. It's gonna be tough for Toonami ratings tonight.

The lull before the Titan storm, as it were.

@Shota last page

A lot of people on Toon Zone usually freak out when Toonami gets below average ratings. I guess that what made Sketch write that article.

Well THERE'S your problem.

Yakuzu, if you're out there, I can't help but think of Tsubaki's troubles with Izayoi and the Mind Eater curse in Chronophantasma when watching these past few episodes, if only because of who's voicing Nozomi.

Wait. Now the Mod Souls are turning on Kageroza?

Is it over? Are we finally done with Kageroza?

For such infuriating filler, this episode reminded me of why I started liking this series in the first place. Damn. That really was an epic final battle. I liked it better than most of the fights from Aizen's final arc.

What is the last arc of Bleach anyways? Is it another Filler arc? Was it cut short? It's only like 20 weeks and that seems pretty paltry by Bleach standards.

From what I know, it's an adaption of the second to last arc in the manga.

The last arc was the Xcution arc, which was the in-canon reason Ichigo got his powers back.

It also explained Chad and Orihime's powers, and made very little sense.

So wait, Ichigo gets his powers back twice? Or do they handwave it by depowering him before the next arc.

They depower him... which I'm assuming the end of this arc is going to explain.

@ Scherzo: The arc with the Fullbringers, which isn't filler, but is basically a conflict mainly set up so that Kubo could devise a way for Ichigo to get his Soul Reaper powers back in time for the final arc that brings the vaguely touched upon Myth Arc front and center.

The Thousand-Year Blood War wasn't adapted (or, depending on how you look at thing, has yet to be adapted) because this filler arc had low ratings and negative reception.

If you really think about it, Ichigo has been depowered and issues controlling his powers throughout the entire manga. He got depowered by Byakuya, there was all his problems controlling his inner hollow, and the list goes on and on.

Plus, this filler revised the aftermath of the Deicide arc ever so slightly in that Ichigo's powers didn't immediately burn out after using the Final Getsuga Tenshou. The Mod Soul pill that contained his reishi was just a temporary fix.

Time for tears One Piece.
