I guess this month's U-PICK was my weakest U-PICK due to most of my current Discord servers not allowing self-promotion or advertising. Without them, how would I lure in any new viewers? If that's the case, might as well find a different strategy or something. ONLY ONE PERSON voted, and he or she wanted X-MEN, particularly, the 1992 animated series. I didn't expect X-MEN to win, but I was thinking that SONIC X would win since Sonic the Hedgehog (as the entire franchise) is more relevant and is very popular among video gamers and comic book readers. Well, I guess I will have to continue Toon Time Theater with X-MEN on the lineup all because of that one little vote. Here are my theories on why this poll was lackluster:

After finding out that DC SUPER HERO GIRLS can no longer be watched (physically or digitally), I made a last ditch effort to replace it with JACKIE CHAN ADVENTURES, contributing to the lack of "modern" cartoons.

I lacked the effort in assembling this poll. I had to learn my lessons from the first poll, particularly limiting the number of choices to reduce the chances for a Judgment. I had to do whatever I can, but it didn't improve for the better.

I timed my poll at the wrong time. Toonami was bringing back DRAGON BALL Z KAI for the 2020s, and I was doing a similar thing to buy some time until the 2026 World Cup rolls along, but a long runner was already chosen before I knew it. Even worse, I got into family issues that prevented me from live-streaming Saturday mornings for (less than) half of March, starting the Emergency Occurrence Filler Arc. My audience count became worse because of my transition back to Sunday mornings. Even I had a cartoon in the lineup that would only get new episodes on Saturday/Sunday after my originally-intended live-stream time, obviously, Saturday mornings.

April's U-PICK poll will promise to have three "modern" cartoons, a "retro" cartoon, and the winning pick will premiere after the Emergency Occurrence Filler Arc's conclusion, also wrapping up NINJA KAMUI* broadcasts on Toon Time Theater. This will be the final U-PICK poll for the Emergency Occurrence Filler Arc, and will do everything possible to satisfy new and old cartoon fans.

Well, that takes care of it. In case you missed my lineup announcements on Saturday night's Twitch stream, I am re-posting the lineups here and now. However, you don't have to take my word for it.

Not to mention BAKUGAN, the very first U-PICK winner, will have its season finale aired on my Twitch channel on April 14. After that, there will be additional changes to the Toon Time Theater lineup. I won't be giving out any additional details until around that date, but I can consider announcing the next U-PICK shows and details then.

Back when I used to attend high school in my fourth year, I spent the rest of 2015 with some kind of (unofficial) Anime Club meeting where I set up a poll, and each person would vote. Everyone slept on it but for one person, and she picked Hoshi no Kirby. The cartoons in the poll included:

Hoshi no Kirby

F-Zero Falcon Densetsu

Persona 4: The Animated Series

Rockman.EXE

PaRappa The Rapper

When I finished showing SONIC X up to Episode 78, it was about time I put the U-PICK winner to its full advantage, but I lost a lot of the audience due to replacing SONIC X for Hoshi no Kirby. Turns out Sonic's more popular than Kirby these days. Eventually I had to find ways to increase my audience by adding more programs to the (unofficial) Anime Club with The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Neon Genesis Evangelion. This last cartoon was dedicated to said series celebrating its 20th anniversary that year. My audience got a sudden increase, but it was all but lost when the school year was nearing its end. Since my resource class already worked hard towards the Karaoke Party goal*, I showcased Hi's Coool! SeHa Girl as my final non-special cartoon. What a bore, since school was on its way out and there happened to be more Nintendo fans than Sega fans, especially during Nintendo's dark ages with the Wii U and 3DS being in full swing.

I was lucky enough to have a winner, as I didn't think of having a Judgment plan back then. If I had no votes, I would have randomly chosen a cartoon, particularly one that would last until the end of the school year. Hoshi no Kirby won, but I stopped showing that once I reached the snowman episode. Turns out the Kirby anime has 100 episodes plus a 3DCG special. At least it isn't as long as ONE PIECE, one of the world's longest-running action cartoons.

Eventually I moved on and watched Toonami alone, and was part of a Toonami Discord server so I can talk with other people regarding the shows. I started to criticize the lineup in 2019 when Mob Psycho 100 failed to have its second season air right away, and same can be said with JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind.
