I know about Dragon Ball Super, what I want to know is how Toonami is going right now.

Re: Will Toonami survive without new Dragon Ball Content?
The new Jojo's Bizarre Adventure premieres this Saturday. Demon Slayer just premiered, and not sure if it's part of Toonami or AS regular, but that new Genndy Tartakovsky show "Primal" will be on at 10:30 this Saturday. One Punch Man and Dr. Stone are having new episodes as well, so think the block will be ok. Also, while some may not care for properties aimed at the younger crowds, I'd prefer a block of action cartoons aimed at kids, than some of the weird stuff like Oreimo and other shows that have girls wanting to marry their oni-chans that give some guys the idea of Japan being weird.

Good News EVERYONE!
MHA has proven that it can indeed anchor the Toonami Block without Super. So I guess Toonami will survive without Dragon Ball after all.
EDIT:RATINGS TIME!

My Hero's great (I recommend it if you guys haven't seen it), and it's got a strong fanbase here. Cool to see that it's holding the fort down.
Honestly the thing that cripples Toonami and makes it tough for it to stay alive, is that it only plays once a week and in the middle of the night. One Piece never really got the shot that DBZ did because it was either neutered on 4Kids or on Cartoon Network at like 2 in the morning.
The programming block dedicated to action cartoons for younger teenage boys should probably be airing earlier, when more of the aforementioned teenage boys are actually awake.

Honestly, how many teenagers actually watch TV as their main source of media consumption now? They're more into consuming via streaming.
The numbers read more like from old adult millenials.
Dragon Ball was always a kid series and fans should stop being in denial.

They should simultaneously stream Toonami online along with the TV airing. That way, those who have cut the cord can support Toonami if they want to & get their views counted on top of that since TV viewing requires an Nelson box.Neo-Makaiōshin wrote: ↑Tue Nov 26, 2019 7:27 pmHonestly, how many teenagers actually watch TV as their main source of media consumption now?

That would be a massive waste of money.
The biggest truths aren't original. The truth is ketchup. It's Jim Belushi. Its job isn't to blow our minds. It's to be within reach.

They already do a livestream, it's just that to access it you have to use an account from a TV provider. Unless the powers-that-be find and adopt some way of monetizing their channel other than subscription fees from said providers, that's likely the most we'll get.Saimaroimaru wrote: ↑Thu Dec 05, 2019 11:18 am They should simultaneously stream Toonami online along with the TV airing.

"Perfect" is the enemy of the good. True for Cell and true for real life.

They could always use sites like Twitch.MetaMoss wrote: ↑Thu Dec 05, 2019 2:27 pmThey already do a livestream, it's just that to access it you have to use an account from a TV provider.
