Keep in mind DBZKai's 8PM Encore is on Adult Swim. Not on Toonami. I REALLY hope this leads to good things, whatever they may be.

It might grab the attentions of fans less aware of it towards Toonami...and if nothing else, give them extra ratings for an episode they already paid for.

My guess is that CN saw the ratings that Kai did as the lead in for Toonami, which have been really good, and are now looking to expand the audience by compensating for those who aren't willing to stay up until midnight to watch Kai and air it at 8PM.

It's definitely a good idea in theory, but I think the results will be mixed in practice. But I could be dead wrong as well, I mean Kai was a huge on Nicktoons, and most kids don't to bed until 9PM on average, and with the bonus of it being uncut, I could see Kai on Adult Swim outperforming, in term of ratings, what Kai produces on Toonami by a wide margin.

I really hope it does so well that they consider moving Toonami back to 8pm I think an 8pm-12am block would be so much more beneficial for a lot of Anime fans in the USA plus the ratings have already shown that they can do their terrible comedy block routine late at night and still get ratings!! I will be watching this saturday and every saturday night at 8pm that I am not working!!!

At least I don't have to change the channel when Sit Down Shut Up is on. Fox sure loves to dump their canceled shows on Adult Swim.

Hopefully this is a good thing for the show.

It was doing iffy in terms of ratings at first, but the past few weeks has been performing really well.

Here are the ratings so far:

• November 8: 912,000
  November 22: 1,278,000
  November 29: 927,000
  January 3: 940,000
  January 10: 723,000
  January 17: 850,000
  January 24: 1,321,000
  January 31: 1,531,000
  February 7: 1,339,000
  February 14: 1,258,000

So hopefully this is nothing but good for the show. If anything, it'll give it more exposure, leading to better ratings.

I hope people won't change the channel or turn off the TV if it's not Sit Down, Shut Up. Sit Down, Shut Up is a show that got canceled five years ago and no one wanted it back on TV. The show has terrible animation that would make Johnny Test look like it was animated by Studio Ghibli and unlikeable characters. I rather watch Squidbillies then that terrible show.

Surprisingly I've seen some people tweet that they didn't even know DBZKai was on [adult swim]. So if anything this is a GOOD thing. Lots of people will more than likely tune in for nostalgia, and keep the TV on.

I think most kids would go either change the channel to Nick, Disney or The Hub once Adult Swim is on or turns off the TV to play some video games until the go to bed. Most parents are not going to let their kids watch Adult Swim. I used to baby sit two kids in 2007-2008 and their parents told me to turn off the TV by 8:30. Not to mention Rick & Morty is on 8:30 and that show is not very family friendly. King of the Hill is more tamer then most shows on AS but it's not a safe show for younger kids to watch.

You got your wish. Its ratings were THE lowest of the Pre-Toonami lineup. No one will miss it.

So uh, I just caught the episode of this that was on just now as there wasn't much else on TV, and it's been a while since I was up to date with the series on Toonami or here. Interestingly enough, they played the Schemmel version of 'Dragon Soul' (so I guess they'll likely cycle through all of the DVD versions?) rather than the broadcast Vic Mignogna one, but when it got to 'Yeah! Break! Care Break!', it played the original Japanese version. Has it been doing that normally?

[Daisetsu]

Yeah, they've been playing the Japanese one since episode 1, I believe. I remember folks noting that the ending was cropped back then, and... it hasn't been uncropped since.
