AnimationFan14 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 There's no doubt in my mind that the big UFC event and *ahem* Dave Chappelle on SNL knocked Toonami down. Check back next Tuesday for ratings that don't fit in your echo chamber. UFC and Dave Chappelle's first true return to tv in almost 10 years certainly spelled double trouble for Toonami's ratings last Saturday, but that can happen from time to time. I expect things to bounce back up a little this coming Saturday at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlChemist81 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Well, this is quite disappointing! 11/19/2016 JoJo's Bizzare Adv. Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.52 Estimated 18-34 - 353,000 Adults 18-49 Rating - 0.42 Estimated 18-49 - 533,000 Total Viewers - 964,000 11/19/2016 Gundam IBO Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.42 Estimated 18-34 - 285,000 Adults 18-49 Rating - 0.35 Estimated 18-49 - 445,000 Total Viewers - 795,000 Both shows hit scary new lows, and missed the top 10 at #12 and #15 respectively, but to be fair, the competition WAS pretty scary. USC vs. UCLA dominated the football front at #5, and there was a huge boxing match on PPV, Kovalev vs. Ward, which BTW had about 60,000 tweets and in part enfeebled Toonami's social media presence: http://toonamifaithful.com/toonami-trending-rundown-for-november-19-20-2016/ Ironically, the decision to air a normal lineup on Thanksgiving weekend might lead to Toonami's highest-rated week in November, as I'm pretty sure neither boxing nor UFC will have a huge event that night, and football competition might be lighter despite rivalry week since it's spread out over 3 days! So let's just hope Intruder 3 finishes strong! JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Phantom Blood Arc and Gundam IBO S1 too, although to be fair those have a few more weeks to go!

OwlChemist81 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 SHOW AVERAGES SO FAR Dragonball Z Kai - 1,376,617 (94 episodes) JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - 1,034,200 (5 episodes) Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans - 951,818 (22 episodes) Hunter × Hunter - 916,857 (28 episodes) Naruto: Shippuden - 892,625 (136 episodes) One Piece - 805,411 (162 episodes) One Punch Man Rerun - 651,000 (4 episodes) ADULTS 18-49 Dragonball Z Kai - 793,489 (94 episodes) JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - 615,800 (5 episodes) Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans - 565,182 (22 episodes) Hunter × Hunter - 538,714 (28 episodes) Naruto: Shippuden - 492,548 (136 episodes) One Piece - 437,542 (162 episodes) One Punch Man Rerun - 394,000 (4 episodes) ADULTS 18-34 (Estimated) JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - 394,200 (5 episodes) Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans - 372,909 (22 episodes) Say what you want about JoJo being inferior to the likes of Akame ga KILL!, Dimension W, One-Punch Man, and even Parasyte, DBZ Kai was still doing worse in both total viewers (1001K) and Adults 18-49 (531K) on average through its first 5 episodes. Gundam IBO, on the other hand, is on track to be the worst-rated show with an average start time only 6 minutes later than the likes of KILL la KILL, Akame ga KILL!, and Dimension W. Finally, November 2016 itself has been the worst month for ratings since January 2015 (and that's just comparing the 12-3:30 AM time frame of both months), but fortunately it's not over yet. The final weekend could still beat the other 3, since it's comparatively light on competition, and Toonami has wisely opted to just let the normal lineup run instead of tossing on a marathon of reruns around the thrilling conclusion of Intruder 3! So hopefully America will be watching! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookend47 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I'm expecting decent to mediocre ratings this week like I imagine most sensible people are, due to Thanksgiving and competition from that 600 eps Simpson marathon on FXX.

OwlChemist81 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 This has been such a shitty news week already, what with Gatlinburg on fire, and the Brazilian soccer team being involved in a plane crash, so it would REALLY help to see good ratings this morning to lift my spirits. So, JoJo and Gundam IBO, how'd ya do?? http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/ratings-delays-due-to-thanksgiving-holiday.html Well that figures. Kinda forgot despite the normal line-up on Toonami it WAS a holiday. Guess we'll be in suspense until tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Well, crap. Those numbers for JoJo and Gundam are terrible. But to be fair, Gundam actually improved slightly in 18-34. Might have even broken 300K, but sadly we'll never know for sure. 11/26/2016 JoJo's Bizzare Adv. Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.50 Estimated 18-34 - 340,000 Adults 18-49 Rating - 0.40 Estimated 18-49 - 508,000 Total Viewers - 856,000 11/26/2016 Gundam IBO Adults 18-34 Rating - 0.44 Estimated 18-34 - 299,000 Adults 18-49 Rating - 0.35 Estimated 18-49 - 445,000 Total Viewers - 772,000 At this point, that estimated 225K in 18-34 that Children Who Chase Lost Voices pulled 3 weeks ago at 3 AM looks pretty beastly, huh? And it's even worse that this was against pretty much minimal competition. Sportscenter reigned supreme in 18-49, and I'm really not sure why, but at least JoJo and Gundam appear to have won their timeslots among cable originals in 18-34, just edging it out with that demographic. Ditto for females and males 12-34, so all that is at least a silver lining on this dark cloud. Even so, Toonami needs that "must see" hook like it used to have last year and earlier this year, and right now it just doesn't seem to have it. Intruder 3 was, IMHO, an appalling failure ratings-wise even if it got critical acclaim. Gundam Unicorn Re:0096 coming next year is interesting but I doubt it will help much. Also interesting is a #4 by Batman vs. Superman on HBO against strong football competition. Adult Swim might actually do well next year to borrow live action superhero action movies from TBS/TNT leading-in to Toonami if such a thing is even possible. http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-11-26-2016.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlChemist81 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Well, to be fair, these two timeslots did better than their corresponding timeslots in 2014 (Naruto: Shippuden and One Piece), but still lost hard to Parasyte reruns in 2015, and Naruto/One PIece premieres in 2013 still handily bested them! Still, 2014's TG weekend was handicapped by the completely asinine decision to air an Attack on Titan rerun at 11:30, and this one had Family Guy in that timeslot. Both had DBZ Kai as a lead-in. Here's hoping some new blood can bring the numbers back up in 2017. Lupin III Part 4 and/or Mob Psycho might be up to the challenge? And of course, I expect things to get better next week, though December 10th is a toss-up and December 17th is a complete unknown! Oddly enough, the remainder of the night didn't do TOO bad: 12:00 AM Dragon Ball Z Kai - 1,205,000 (80.71%) 0.54 (-0.01) 12:30 AM Jojo's Bizarre Adventure 856,000 (71.04%) 0.40 (-0.02) 1:00 AM Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans - 772,000 (90.19%) 0.35 steady 1:30 AM Hunter × Hunter - 714,000 (92.49%) 0.34 (+0.02) 2:00 AM Naruto: Shippuden - 685,000 (95.94%) 0.32 (+0.03) 2:30 AM One Piece - 607,000 (88.61%) 0.28 (+0.02) 3:00 AM One-Punch Man (rerun) - 609,000 (100.33%) 0.29 (+0.01) TOTAL VIEWERS AVERAGE - 778,286 Yep, everything after 1:30 was actually UP from last week slightly in 18-49, with One-Punch Man outrating One PIece once again, and Gundam IBO held steady. Still, JoJo seems to be bombing hardcore, which means that their apparent decision to air 2 episodes back-to-back (and ending one arc while beginning another, mind you) is just plain ludicrous! http://www.adultswim.com/adultswimdynsched/asXml/17.EST.xml We still don't know actual numbers for 18-49 (courtesy SOTB/PI) or how they rank across all shows on cable (courtesy TVBTN), but I estimate about 457K 18-49 for the block, which is up about 4.5K from last week.

And Adult Swim peaked for the night at less than 1.5M with the 11:30 Family Guy. Somehow Toonami's ratings don't seem THAT bad in light of that, but JoJo is still REALLY dropping the ball! Programming Insider's 18-49 ratings are also in, and the average was better than I thought: 12:00 AM Dragon Ball Z Kai - 692,000 (78.97%) 12:30 AM Jojo's Bizarre Adventure - 510,000 (73.70%) 1:00 AM Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans - 448,000 (87.84%) 1:30 AM Hunter × Hunter - 432,000 (96.43%) 2:00 AM Naruto: Shippuden - 405,000 (93.75%) 2:30 AM One Piece - 353,000 (87.16%) 3:00 AM One-Punch Man (rerun) - 372,000 (105.38%) ADULTS 18-49 AVERAGE - 458,857 We'll round that up to 459K, better than last week, but not by much. Hopefully the block will get back into the 500Ks in 18-49 in December, though I'm not holding my breath.
