“I don’t care what they say. All I want is to talk to Yuuki one last time. I can’t leave her like this.”
– Asuna Yuuki, Sword Art Online II (Ep. 22)
The Toonami Trending Rundown for September 12-13, 2015. It’s another good night for the block’s social media buzz as every show managed to trend in the US during their respective East Coast airings, every show save for #DBZKai, #Shippuden, and #AttackOntitan trended during their respective West Coast airings, and both #AkameGaKill and #MichikoAndHatchin both trended worldwide. In addition, #SAO also trended on Google Plus. No character/in show content trends to report, however.
Unfortunate enough to miss Toonami and wasn’t able to be able to record it? We’ll starting today, you’re in luck. Every Sunday till Monday at 5pm Eastern, Toonami will be encoring that particular week’s block, with bumpers and all, on the Pre-Flight channel. You don’t need to log in to your cable or satellite provider to check it out, but due to licensing issues, you obviously do need to be in the US to view it. Of course, we still do recommend that you watch and live tweet the block as it airs every time you can, as those viewership ratings are what really matters for the block’s sustainability.
Tune in next week as SAO showcases the penultimate episode of Season 2, while Michiko and Hatchin kicks off the 2nd half of the series, among other great moments. Until next week, enjoy the football season, and stay gold.

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.
