DEADMAN WONDERLAND PLOT HOLE #1
We never find out why the Crimson King massacred an entire classroom full of innocents just to frame this poor bastard and give him Deadman powers

Crimson King wasn't trying to frame Ganta. We can't even be sure that she is aware when she's like this. My best guess is that barring random chance, she was drawn to him, since they used to know each other.

Also, Slimy Bastard just wants him on the off chance that he may have super blood powers.

DBZ Kai usually pulls in ~1,000,000 viewers in a post-AOT slot.
How does it do leading the block?

Dragon Ball Z Kai 1,321,000
Naruto Shippuden 1,000,000
InuYasha The Final Act 865,000
One Piece 858,000
Gurren Lagann 747,000
Deadman Wonderland 733,000

You said it yourself:

Everybody knows what DBZ is. Everybody loving loves DBZ, because it's goddamn DBZ. Running home to watch DBZ on Toonami after school was a childhood experience to a huge goddamn chunk of 90's kids (myself included). That nostalgia is still riding strong as hell, and it translates into ratings.

Besides, DBZ is the original Shounen, and it's a legitimately entertaining show, especially since Kai cuts out a lot of the boring filler. (Although I personally think they cut a little bit too much out of Goku's training with King Kai; I mean goddamn we didn't even get to watch him learn the Kaio-Ken in an episode, we saw it in a loving recap.)

They definitely cut too much. They cut out the driver's test episode.

That's about what's expected actually; ratings drops are sort of built into the block since people start going to bed after [x] show is over. I'm more shocked at the Gurren Lagann drop; I can understand Deadman Wonderland not pulling in high ratings because it's a late-night rerun (although it's doing fairly well even so, and it did only have one showing on Toonami), but there's a lot of people who just tune out after One Piece.

InuYasha's actually doing really good ratings-wise; it was pulling in good ratings even at 2AM, and that's why it got pushed earlier up in the time slots. Inuyasha is sorta like DBZ in the ratings, it gets views just because it's goddamn Inuyasha. OG Inuyasha regularly pulled 600,000-700,000 viewers when it was airing in the 5 AM death slot (compared to the usual ~500,000 of everything else that's aired there). Hell, in one fluke week of June 8, 2013 it pulled this:

5:00 AM Inuyasha 914,000
5:30 AM Inuyasha 866,000
:stare:

I always assume (and hope) that this is because there's a group of Inuyasha fans who have to get up early for work on Sundays and keep these numbers high.

So apparently she's gaining fibers and power as she beats Goku Uniform wearers? So I think it'd be funny if the costume was that revealing at first and as she beats more people it becomes less and less revealing and more of a functional uniform. That's my take as of now!!!

I wish this was what happened, and that by the end she was fighting the Big Bad in a parka and sensible shoes. That's how you subvert genre expectations.

Or maybe like a pimp-rear end floor-length fur coat.

Putting time and effort into following shows that wound up leading to the series finale of Dexter, the series finale of True Blood, and almost definitely the series finale of Glee have put things in perspective for me and I now think SAO was not bad at least in comparison

I am frightened I'll think the same of IGPX if I ever see it

In hindsight, the finale of Dexter just about makes the whole ride worth it for me.

Giraffes in real life also attack with their necks. However, this absolutely hilarious method of combat is generally reserved for duels between males. When defending themselves from predators, they use their legs, which are crazy strong.
