“[Sniper King]’s a superhero? I knew it, I could totally tell cause of the mask and cape! Amazing, I’ve never seen one before.”
– Monkey D. Luffy, One Piece (Episode 264)
The Toonami Trending Rundown for July 26-27, 2014. It’s Comic Con week, and in a week dedicated to Superheroes, Toonami sure wasn’t gonna be left out of the buzz as One Piece begins the Enies Lobby arc, Beware The Batman begins it’s 2nd half, and Cowboy Bebop makes it’s grand return on the block.
As a result, Toonami and every show but Attack on Titan, Bleach and Star Wars trended in the US and Toonami and every show but One Piece, FMA Brotherhood, and Star Wars trended in the mobile app. Unfortunately, I don’t have any worldwide trends to report this week. We did however get some special trends from One Piece with Enies Lobby, as the crew reaches the infamous prison island, as well as Sniper King, as he introduces himself to Luffy and Chopper.
Tune in next week as Samurai Jack begins Season 3 while only two episodes remain for Blue Exorcist, among other great moments from the other shows. See you again next week, and as always, 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.
