“I have about as much sympathy for those kids as I do for people that preach world peace while they’re dropping bombs on their neighbors.”
– Mr. Chang, Black Lagoon (Episode 14)
The Toonami Trending Rundown for June 21-22, 2014. Pretty good night for trending as every show with Toonami and every show with the exception of Star Wars TCW and Sym-Bionic Titan trended in the US, Samurai Jack trended worldwide, and Attack on Titan and Black Lagoon trending in the mobile app. In addition, a Tumblr trend of Toonami was spotted several hours after the block ended in the west.
We also got some special character trends from Attack On Titan (Eren, as it is found out that he was the Rogue Titan and miraculously lived to tell the tale), Naruto Shippuden (Sasori, as he reveals that he puppetizes himself in his duel with Sakura and Lady Chiyo), One Piece (Sanji, as he battles Wanze in a, dare I say, food fight, as well as Sniper King as he reaches to Robin’s location to try and save her), Blue Exorcist (Rin, as he tries to exorcise Miwa from a demon that slipped in the school) and Black Lagoon (the Vampire Twins, as the entire town of Roanapur start hunting for them).
Tune in next week as Clone Wars begins it’s third season, among other great moments from the other shows, and Space Dandy’s Season 2 premiere is only 2 weeks away. See you again next week and stay golden.
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.
