Goodnight, everybody. See you next week. I believe it's the 20th anniversary of Toonami.

Do not obey in advance.

(checks Wikipedia)

Yeah, you're right. Toonami first aired on March 17, 1997. Time sure does fly, huh?

[up][up]Excellent. And with Samurai Jack, Dragonball, and Gundam in the lineup, the cornerstones of Old Toonami are all gathered!

Well that's it for this week, see you all next week. RIP Caesar, farewell One Piece!

Samurai Jack debuted to just over 1.5 million viewers.

Which is worse One Piece pacing or Tokyo Ghoul Root A?

They're both bad in their own regard. One Piece has become a miserable experience to watch weekly because Toei still follows the old archaic model of adapting shonen, and they'd never let one of their gravy trains end to give Oda space to create more manga.

Root A is just some hot garbage though.

Is over 1.5 million views good?

[up] It's definitely good, especially since Saturday Nights tend to be the worst nights ratings wise.

For comparison, Space Dandy, Attack on Titan, and One Punch Man all debuted with slightly less viewers. The only show that debuted strong was Akame ga Kill of all things, but it also had the benefit of following DBZ Kai pulling the best ratings ever (2mil viewers) since the block has returned.

The big thing is going to be retention though.

If it's like the old seasons, Samurai Jack has the potential advantage off being easy to jump right into.

Does anybody know if there's a legal way to watch it online, for someone who doesn't traditional tv. Hulu has the old seasons, but so far not the new episode.

Looks like Toonami has tweaked their post-OP schedule

It's going to look like this:

1:00am - Tokyo Ghoul
1:30am - Hunter x Hunter
2:00am - MSG Unicorn
2:30am - Shippuden

Everything else will be staying the same.

Toonami uploaded a "History of" video to their Facebook page yesterday. It's a bit long at over 17 minutes, but definitely worth a look for any Toonami faithful out there. smile

Aku doing his morning calisthenics with a "Why do I even bother anymore?" face feels rather... surreal.

@ Maestro: Baldwin made for a good Iroh in Mako's place, so I'm not surprised.

And Aku has a counselor. And it's himself. Now I've seen everything.

Between Jack's sweet armor, his tricked-out motorbike with the weapon compartments, and the vehicle that the Daughters of Aku are riding in, this episode makes for a nice parallel to Jack's battle against the beetle drone army in the original three-parter.
