“Hell was a womb and the dream of my vengeance, my umbilical. Now I am reborn and will sulk in the sweet milk of victory.”
– Frieza, Dragon Ball Super (Ep. 20)
The Toonami Trending Rundown for June 3-4, 2017. While Jack’s run comes to a close (and has begun its encore run), Toonami continues on, as Frieza is revived and sets his revenge on the Z Fighters, while the Colossal and Armored Titans reveal their identities, and Banagher and Full Frontal battle for Laplace’s Box, among other moments.
On Twitter, every show managed to trend briefly in the US during their respective East Coast airings. Meanwhile on Tumblr, Toonami would trend in addition to Dragon Ball Super, Attack on Titan, and Tokyo Ghoul.
And finally, after a 12 week hiatus from the list, Dragon Ball Super would once again make it to Nielsen Social’s top 5 most talked about shows on Twitter and Facebook, making it to the #3 spot. This is the 23rd time a Toonami show has made it onto this list since we started recording this feat, and the 10th time for Super.
Tune in Saturday as Toonami showcases the finale of Gundam Unicorn. Until then, enjoy E3 week, and stay gold as always.
Legend: The shows listed are ordered based on their appearance on the schedule. Show trends are listed in bold. 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 Twitter tweet counts, the listed number of tweets are also sorely based on the highest number shown based on the images on the rundown.
