“I got this. Nobody shakes booty like Yours Truly.”
– Dandy, Space Dandy (Season 2, Episode 09)
The Toonami Trending Rundown for August 30-31, 2014. It’s Labor Day weekend and unfortunately this alongside the kickoff of the College Football season among other things normally equals to a rough night in terms of both ratings and social media buzz. So this time around, Toonami decided to do something different for the schedule shakeup, with a marathon of the first 12 episodes of Attack on Titan in addition to the regular scheduled Space Dandy before that.
As a result, #AttackOnTitan in addition to #AttackOnTitanMarathon and Titan each trended at various points throughout the night in the US, with all that including Space Dandy during it’s East Coast run as well in the mobile app. Not bad at all.
Tune in next week as Black Lagoon showcases the final episode of The Second Raid, among other great moments from the other shows. We also got 2 more weeks left to go until Hellsing Ultimate premieres, so get amped. Till next week, have a happy Labor Day weekend and stay gold.
Legend: 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 mobile app trends, the listed number of tweets are also sorely based on the highest number shown based on the images on the rundown.
