“I understand now. People are not cut from the same cloth. And no matter how are they may seem, their differences is make this world beautiful. Our world is worth protecting, and I’d be honored to share that task with you [Ryuko Matoi].”
– Satsuki Kiryūin, Kill la Kill (Ep. 22)
The Toonami Trending Rundown for July 18-19, 2015. Another good night for social media buzz as every show on Twitter manages to trend in the US during their respective East Coast airings in addition to DBZ Kai during it’s encore run. In addition, Toonami also trended during Attack on Titan’s airing on the East Coast.
Edit 7/20 @ 4:44pm PDT: In addition, both #DragonBallZ and #DBZ also trended on Google Plus. Thanks to @JMB_70056 for the heads up.
Tune in next week as Kill la Kill showcases it’s penultimate episode, among other great moments. Until next week, stay golden, and always remember that if you’re looking for a sword that’s called Excalibur, make sure it’s not the one from Soul Eater…FOOLS!
