“I know all too well this may be my one and only chance to take [Frieza] down. It’s also the only chance I’ll ever have to see what he’s really made of.”
- Goku, Dragon Ball Z Kai (Ep. 49) The Toonami Trending Rundown for December 19-20, 2015. We wrap up Intruder 2 with a bang and enjoy the holidays with a DBZ marathon as both #Intruder2 and #DBZKai both successfully trended in the US. In addition during the Intruder 2 finale, both TOM 5 and SARA trended as TOM lands on the planet Shogo 162, finds an abandoned base to set up shop in the interim, and uploads the Absolution’s AI into the base, bringing back SARA in the process. And as DBZ Kai aired, Frieza also trended as he has his epic battle against Goku. Intruder 2 Trending Retrospective [/font][/div][/b][/i] Ever since Toonami was revived in 2012, there were calls for the return of “Total Immersion Events” to continue on the story and lore between TOM and SARA. Initially it wasn’t possible due to a lack of budget to do so, but as Toonami has regrown over the years, the return of such events became more and more possible, eventually culminating to the long awaited question of “What exactly happened to the Intruder?” finally being told. 7 weeks of TOM fending off the famous Intruder blob from years past and blowing to smithereens, and Intruder 2′s run is now in the books. The fact that this even happened at all is a testament to how far Toonami has come since it’s revival and it’s pretty safe to say the reactions to the events of Intruder 2 have been very positive. In terms of social media buzz, the designated hashtag #Intruder2 has successfully trended during all 7 weeks of the event, in addition during 3 other occasions beforehand when the event was being promoted. The TIE also produced 5 different character and in-show content related trends, the Absolution, Red Alert, SARA in 2 different occasions, TOM 1, as well as TOM 5. As we enter into a new era of Toonami with the return of Samurai Champloo and Samurai Jack on the horizon as well as a variety of other shows yet to be announced in the new year ahead, on behalf of the Toonami Faithful, I want to personally thank Steve, Sonny, Dana, Jason, Gill, and everyone that worked on Intruder 2 and Toonami overall for this great experience and we do look forward to what this great programming block has for us next. And Finally… Tune in next week as Toonami encores episodes 320-326 of One Piece to end of the year. Until next week, we wish you a Merry Christmas and May the Force be with You. Legend: The shows listed are ordered based on their appearance on the schedule. Show trends are listed in bold. The number next to the listed trend represents the highest it trended on the list (not counting the promoted trend), judging only by the images placed in the rundown. For the Twitter tweet counts, the listed number of tweets are also sorely based on the highest number shown based on the images on the rundown.United States Trends:Toonami [#6] #Intruder2 [#2] SARA (From Intruder 2) [#3] TOM 5 (From Intruder 2) [#4] #DBZKai (Also during the West Coast airing) [#8] Frieza (From DBZ Kai) [#21] Special thanks to @jmb70056, @misteradraven and others I forgot to mention for spotting some of the trends on this list.Edit 12/20 @ 11:10 A.M.

“It was from down this road. That’s the way she’d be coming. So, how far should we go this time, Michiko?“
- Hana “Hatchin” Morenos, Michiko and Hatchin (Ep. 22) The Toonami Trending Rundown for December 12-13, 2015. We send out Michiko and Hatchin’s run on Toonami with a bang as Toonami and every single show trended in the US during their respective East Coast airings as well as Toonami trending on Tumblr. In addition, both #Intruder2 and #AkameGaKill produced some character trends with The Absolution (as TOM self-destructs it and the Intruder’s ship to destroy The Intruder) as well as Mine (as she gets swallowed up by a giant frog but manages to shoot herself out of it). Finally, we were also treated to a promo to out next show on the block, the return of Samurai Champloo, and that also trended in the US as a result. Michiko and Hatchin trending retrospective Being the mainstream gateway drug for anime and action cartoons in the US, Toonami has and continues to showcase premier anime series to millions of people around the country, as the successes of this year’s dub premier acquisitions, Akame, Kill la Kill, Parasyte, and SAO 2 have all shown. But it has also brought awareness and popularity to many overlooked and underrated shows as well, and Michiko and Hatchin is one such example. Originally premiering in Japan in October 2008 and running to March 2009, it had to wait until 2013 for it to finally get dubbed and while there have been requests to Jason and the Toonami crew to eventually air it, it had to wait until June 2015 to finally make it to Toonami airwaves. 22 episodes of Michiko and Hatchin’s search for Hiroshi have since come and gone and Michiko and Hatchin’s run is now in the books. While it’s popularity may not reach the levels of the above mentioned shows, the exposure that Toonami has given it an audience that may have not even considered it before and even made some big fans along the way. To show it’s impact in regards to social media buzz during it’s run, #MichikoAndHatchin has successfully trended during all 22 weeks it has aired in addition to the Labor Day weekend marathon it had. This is the first time ever since we have started recording the trending rundown back in October 2012 that an entire series’ designated hashtag has had a 100% trending success rate. Unfortunately, it was unable to produce a character or in-show content trend, the first time since 2013 that a premiere show has failed to do so. And Finally… Of course as you all know by now, due to lackluster ratings from last year’s movie month as well as an inadequate budget to showcase movies this year, the month of movies unfortunately has been canceled at least for this year, with a DBZ Kai and a One Piece marathon airing for the next two weeks respectively. But even if you’re going to take the two weeks off from watching, at least watch the first 15 minutes next week anyway, as Toonami will be showcasing the finale of Intruder 2. So until then, stay golden as always. Legend: The shows listed are ordered based on their appearance on the schedule. Show trends are listed in bold.

“If I surrender to you [Blackbeard], then i could never call myself a man again. I won’t submit. I won’t live with regrets, no matter what. You got that, stupid?” - Portgas D. Ace, One Piece (Ep. 325) The Toonami Trending Rundown for December 5-6, 2015. A good night for social media buzz, all things considered, as Toonami, #Intruder2 and every show has managed to trend during their respective East Coast airings. No character or in-show content trends to report this week, however. Huge news for Toonami for those that haven’t heard. On Wednesday, it was announced that a new season of Samurai Jack is currently in production with Genndy Tartakovsky back as Producer. Not much details have been revealed at the moment other than it will be premiering on Toonami sometime next year. Tune in next week as Michiko and Hatchin showcases it’s series finale, while One Piece begins the Lovely Land arc, among other great moments. Until next week, have a Happy Hanukkah, congratulations to the Portland Timbers on winning the MLS Cup, and stay gold. Legend: The shows listed are ordered based on their appearance on the schedule.
