AVERAGE 611K!! That's by far the best of 2018, and has only been eclipsed in Toonami's current 5.5-hour format by the Dragon Ball Super marathon!

Wow, they actually fixed the misspelling on "Orphans!" But I digress; 18-49 average: 372K, easily the best in 2018 by over 5K and again like its total viewers counterpart, only eclipsed by Dragon Ball Super night!

As expected, Toonami tumbled a bit for St. Patty's Day and against NCAA Hoops tourney:

JoJo and Gundam shared the distinction of being the best retainers depending upon demographic, but Black Clover was by far the worst across the board despite only dropping two spots in rank. Meanwhile DBZKFC stayed flat in rank but retained the 2nd-worst in all key demos. It's hard to say that airing a marathon would have been better, but things clearly took a step backward this week.

I wonder why Kai retains well some weeks, then has some weeks where it's down near 80. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.

BC is pretty much what you expect when you're running an anime ranked 5311 on MAL. If they get a new show there's no chance it keeps the 3rd spot but it won't be cancelled.

But on a positive note, BC tanking the ratings makes Jojo and Gundam get decent retention. Who'd have thought those shows would retain better than Kai?

Friendly reminder that Freezing has a higher MAL score than Black Clover.

I repeat.

 

This

is better than this.

Everything has a higher MAL score than BC. I think it has the lowest rated MAL rank out of every Toonami show ever.

Casshern Sins 1350

Deadman Wonderland 1947

Dimension W 2354

Dragonball GT 4838

Astro boy 3495

Tenchi Muyo GXP 2644

The only thing even close to it is GT. 

It still won't be cancelled.

http://programminginsider.com/saturday-final-ratings-ncaa-tournament-on-cbs-and-turner-sports-continues-to-lead-prime-time/

It and Space Dandy were also the only shows that went up from last week in 18-49.

http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-3-17-2018.html

AVERAGES: 549K total viewers; 338K adults 18-49. Those are both #5 out of 11 for 2018 so far, and both slightly above average. If this is all the damage airing a regular block on St. Patrick's Day and during the NCAA Men's Basketball tournament has done to Toonami, then it seems like we're still on the right track!

Gee, I wonder why THIS happened??

DZPt3IqVoAA-QGP.jpg

I betcha this had little to do with Toonami's dub premiere and everything to do with the new subtitled episode. 122K Facebook interactions and 65K Twitter interactions is pretty formidable, but even so, couldn't hold a candle to Nick's Kid's Choice awards, even not counting Instagram interactions! DBS didn't even get 1000 of those, but over 90% of Kid's Choice was thanks to Instagram! Toonami really should do some kind of promotion with Instagram if they even care about this...

God damn why is Kai so inconsistent now? The entire night gets poisoned when Kai only hits around 80 percent.

Black Clover..... why are you airing a critically reviled anime 3rd in your lineup again? 75 percent... and somehow even worse in the key demos.

Jojo is back to it's usual form.. low 80's..... which is really bad when it's right after two shows that dropped over 40 percent of the audience.

Under 500k viewers by Gundam time. Welp.... at least every show after Gundam will have amazing retention since there's no viewers left to lose.

At this point, we're parroting the same shit over and over again. Black Clover sucks, Netflix rules, DeMarco needs to stop tweeting about how the Democrats are complicit in ethnic cleansing and start airing good shows again... and now I'm back at the point where I don't think we should have a ratings thread. :|

Well we had a couple of good weeks. But now we're back to form. The only thing that really changes week to week seems to be Kai.

I'm talking more about the grand scheme of things. Toonami's future has already been secured despite seemingly poor ratings. I was hoping the scandal last year involving AoT S2's run allegedly being cut short as well as the "emergency replacement show" would cause us to ween off of the complaining, but I guess not. That turned out to be nothing, so even if the ratings are lower than that right now, it's not worthy of our focus. And like what's been said before, Jason probably would warn us if things got especially dire.

Basically, your mindless fanboying of how Netflix is the best doesn't amount for much other than yelling into the void. I mean, I guess you could do it here, but that ignores what other people want to talk about, which is equally pointless.

I'm blaming the NCAA tourney, despite the fact that last year's Samurai Jack Season 5 had the same difficulty and managed to do better. Sure, most of it was over by the time Toonami started, but not ALL. Also, the Kids Choice awards probably didn't help. We don't see NAN beyond the post-show, but I'm pretty sure it trashed Toonami.

There’s something of a holding pattern between new shows.  Especially this year.

The Adult Swim late-night block performed as follows:  DRAGON BALL at 0.45/0.37, compared to last week’s 0.48/0.39, BLACK CLOVER down 0.03 to 0.27, JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURES down 0.05 to 0.21, MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM down 0.03 to 0.19, HUNTER X HUNTER up 0.01 to 0.22/483K, NARUTO up 0.02 to 0.24/506K, SPACE DANDY steady at 0.22/444K, two episodes of COWBOY BEBOP at 0.22/430K & 0.20/406K compared to last week’s 0.19, and GHOST IN THE SHELL up 0.04 to 0.19/376K.

The second half of Toonami actually kicked ass last week! GITS tied with Gundam and both it and JoJo got beat by HxH, Naruto, Dandy, and Bebop #1! Average: 556K, #5 so far for 2018 (last week was previously #5 but slid to #6). The 18-49 average is close to 324K, which is pretty cute considering it happened on 3/24!

shippuden is likely to take super's spot as the first show when it ends late next year and it could be good to have it back earlier in the night in anticipation for that. it's certainly the only thing i can think of deserving to air in between super and new flcl when kai ends.

Shippuden as first show? Not gonna happen =P

I could see it as... 3rd or 4th after Kai and Super end.

Also worth noting that in addition to almost tying Jojo in total viewers, it dominated it in the key demo.

Actually even Dandy beat Jojo in the key demo. What is going on with Jojo?

The extra episode of Cowboy Bebop beat Gundam in the key demo. I bet Jman is disappointed.

I agree that Shippuden should be airing at least a little higher, but outright swapping it with Black Clover is an overestimation of its popularity. We don't know if the only reason it's going up is due to how low it is. Maybe it's like InuYasha, where the show is more popular when it airs later on?

Because it's their newest show. To them they don't care if a show is GOOD or not. As long as it's their most recent show, they air it after Kai!

"Crazy high" indeed. A retention of over 118%, or a GAIN of 18%, from Gundam to HxH, is pretty much unheard of. And then of course Shippuden keeps it going. Why aren't these shows on earlier??

Hey, Mind Game made the Top 50 (and even the Top 40); that's pretty good! JoJo didn't, but it aired at 2:45 AM, so cut it some slack! Everything LOOKS kinda rough since the NCAA Championship game skewed the scale more than usual. But even so, there's still a slight green tinge to key demos of the Dragon Balls, Black Clover, FLCL Alternative, and even Mind Game!

FLCL Alternative was up a full .05 from JoJo last week; guess that's the power of a World Premiere sneak preview! Unfortunately, Mind Game didn't fare quite as well, as most people who wanted to see it probably already have, and that's a shame and may give Toonami pause when considering airing a movie in the future. Then again, this potentially established a relationship with gkids, who currently hold the keys to the beloved Ghibli Miyazaki films, which would indubitably do better in the ratings than a subtitled airing of Mind Game! So they may still bring back Month of Movies 3 with a Month of Miyazaki this December; we just never really know...

Note that for total viewers and 18-49, Mind Game is being compared against the average of the ratings from 12:30-3 AM on March 24th, with each half-hour from 12:30 AM-2:30 AM weighted double. Since that information is unavailable for 18-34, it's compared to just Gundam IBO, so that -0.01 looks like it's not a bad drop on first glance but it's actually quite generous since ratings rose considerably after Gundam. I'm not showing Subtitled JoJo on my week-to-week comparison, but trust me, at only 324K and 0.15 in 18-49, it was obviously way down--94K and 0.07 in 18-49 from Dandy and Bebop the week before to be exact.

And as for retention and change in rank:

 I'm just a little disappointed that FLCL Alternative didn't retain just a little better. Mind Game retained about as well as Black Clover; still, that's saying something when a 30 minute show fails to hold about as much interest as a 2+ hour movie; that's why starting this week, Clover has been demoted to 1 AM, making a Naruto-esque mini-block out of it, Hunter x Hunter, and Shippuden. I'd say this is a good move, with DBZ Kai ending soon. Asta's proven he just didn't have what it took to hang with the Dragon Balls, but here comes HaruHaru Haruko in 2 weeks!

381,000

Granted, they only calculate all the half-hour ratings into one average number for movies. Maybe it started off higher? Regardless, DB Super didn't even break a million, which doesn't surprised me given how this is a holiday weekend AND a line-up literally no one but the Toonami crew knew about, but we know that anytime that happens it makes the rest of the block look worse. Black Clover had surprisingly better retention though!  And 500K+ is great for a sub-only ep!

Springing what could have been anything from mustaches to The Disaster Artist ensures this weekend didn’t count.

But FLCL 2 and 3 are now talking points, so at least there’s that.

Yeah, 381K was the average from 12:30-2:45 AM. Still down about 89K from that time period last week. We can also calculate that the total viewers average from 12:30-3 AM was roughly (9*381K+324K)/10, or 375.3K. That's down about 68K from the average for that time period this year.

Next year, 4/1 falls on a Monday, which means the gag would be on Sunday night after Midnight.

I'm totally expecting The Disaster Artist, followed by The Room, which means it probably won't happen.

It would be totally cool if some action-related sneak peek were to air at 8 PM that Monday, but I doubt we'll see that.
