###Why Toonami Moved Back to Midnight
October 1, 2016

Pretty much confirms what I already said. CN has a great use for 8:00p right now/this year so once RS premieres finish up, we’ll have to see what happens then, January 2017 especially.

Also curious on when King of the Hill rights expire. That could play a roll.

Next week - October 15, 2016

  • JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure premieres at 12:30a.
  • One-Punch Man restarts at 3:00a.

Dragon Ball Z Kai - “Battle at the Highest Level!; Goku Goes All Out!” (Ep 89 of 97)
One-Punch Man - “The Strongest Hero” (FINAL EPISODE)
Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans - “Kudelia’s Decision” (Ep 17 of 25)
Hunter X Hunter - “The X Guard’s X Duty” (Ep 23 of 148)
Naruto Shippūden - “The Man Who Became God” (Ep 130 of 475)
One Piece - “Oars Roars!! Come Out Straw Hat Crew” (Ep 364 of 755)
One-Punch Man - “The Strongest Hero” (FINAL EPISODE)

Holding up quite well.

but look at that massive drop, both in ratings overall and the 18-49 rage, from One Punch Man to Gundam IBO.

:open_mouth:

That’s normal. Gundam isn’t everyones cup of tea.

Q. So what was the decision behind airing Children Who Chase Lost Voices in the middle of the night on November 5th as opposed to running it at midnight on October 29th instead of a Gundam marathon?

A. Lol. DST provided an opportunity to do an extra hour of something, and the movie was presented as a cheap alternative. Airing it that late we risk nothing. The Gundam marathon did better than 90% of the movies we could afford would. Ya’ll movie hounds need to let this go. Not sure what golden memories you have of all the movies in Toonami, but we’ve NEVER showed a ton of movies and when we have, it was always because of larger deals made by the network or even TBS broadcasting as a whole. We do not have, and will not have, a large discretionary budget to blow on one night events. We aren’t HBO or Crunchyroll or Netflix, and we never will be. Not sure what else to say. The fact that anyone’s first reaction to us showing an awesome movie is “but what about this OTHER THING YOU SAID” blows my mind, really.

Q. How the hell did you convince Adult Swim to let you guys show Children Who Chase Lost Voices? I thought you said it would be more likely to win the lottery than to see another movie on Toonami?

A. Got lucky, really.

Q. Are you confident that airing children who chase lost voices at 3:00 am will do well?

A. It’ll do better at 3am than anything else on TV, which is all we need.

Q. So…movies [on Toonami] are a thing again?

A. Probably not, tbh.
