“Up to this point, all we’ve been doing was looking out for ourselves. We certainly never fought for anyone else. But now, even though it might be too late for us, let’s go fight for someone else. Just this once, me and you.”
– Shino “Sinon” Asada, Sword Art Online II (Ep. 13)
The Toonami Trending Rundown for June 27-28, 2015. All things considered, great night for Toonami’s social media buzz overall as on Twitter, Toonami and every show on the block managed to trend in the US (though AOT came with the misspelled hashtag #AttckOnTitan for some reason) in addition to the encore presentation of #DBZKai earlier in the night. In addition, Toonami also trended on Tumblr.
Next week will bring us the 4th of July, and to celebrate America’s independence, Toonami will be showcasing the previous 6 episodes of DBZ Kai in addition to the regularly scheduled Attack on Titan, so for those that can’t make it next week whether it’s for celebrating with family or attending Anime Expo, no need to fret.
Until next week, our congratulations go out to the LGBT community for a major step forward on the quest for marriage equality, and as always, stay golden.
