PokeNirvash Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 I had a feeling my watching the block live would murder the ratings somehow, and the drop from Super to Alternative was the kill wound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daos Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I already gave up on FLCL3. It was Boruto's first ep, it will drop down to earth next week. Only 36th out of 39th, lookin good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatch Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 If the FLCL sequels had aired at least two years ago and got proportional numbers to now, they'd probably be considered failures. But hey, at least Toonami's lowered expectations means you can spin practically anything into a success, and it's also why I think the fact that we still have a ratings discussion thread is proof of mass psychosis. As for Attack on Titan, the hype has definitely died down since Season 1 finished, and that's contributed to lower ratings. I blame this mostly on the current trend of hyperconsumption in the anime industry, where people get bored waiting for new seasons of shit and then get preoccupied with other shows. But, on the other hand, I don't think S3 starting with a very slow arc about politics is doing the show any favors. I didn't think the last season was too bad, but there are probably many who thought the show took a turn for the worse, and then this was the final straw that made them stop watching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well after the long wait they needed to follow up AOT with a hit S2 to recapture everyone's interest... but S2 was not that good. And now we have S3 and I think it's actually worse. When an anime is good it feels like the episode is over in 10 minutes, AOT on the other hand.....it just dragsssss now. The episodes feel like they take forever. It's officially poison to any casual anime watchers. It reminds me of another certain hit anime that rose to greatness and then had a certain character get killed by a shinigami which made it take a severe downturn for the rest of its run.

OwlChemist81 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) I started watching live with Alternative. Glad I contributed, at least theoretically, because MAN, that drop is ATROCIOUS!! https://programminginsider.com/solid-return-for-saturday-night-live-on-nbc/ Weird--it isn't letting me paste the grid!? Fine. I'll just do my own take on the 18-49s as usual: 9/29/18 - Adults 18-49 Show Viewers Retention DBZ Kai 274,000 MHA 270,000 98.54% Shippuden 282,000 104.44% Boruto 301,000 106.74% DBS 383,000 127.24% FLCL3 222,000 57.96% AOTS3 228,000 102.70% JoJo4 225,000 98.68% B. Clover 234,000 104.00% H×H 215,000 91.88% Punchy 209,000 97.21% Lupin 166,000 79.43% Bebop 172,000 103.61% Jack 164,000 95.35% AVERAGE 238,929 33rd of 39 Again, looks like it would have been a pretty decent night if not for FLCL3. Of course, then there's the question of whether or not AOTS3 would have crapped the bed after DBS, though while it has in the past, it didn't do quite as bad, averaging 71% when it directly followed Super. I'd say unless there's something new waiting in the wings at 11:30 PM to take FLCL3's place on October 21st, it needs to move down to 1:30 AM for its encore run, and for everything from AOT-H×H to slide up 30 minutes. Hell, that could even be the beginning of a permanent FLCL timeslot in the back half that cycles through all three seasons ad nauseum. I think for what they spent on FLCL2 & 3, it at least deserves that much. Edited October 3, 2018 by OwlChemist81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 This wouldn’t be so bad if they weren’t fronting the costs for FLCL 3’s production. And I know they need more originals to stay competitive, but maybe sequels to 15 year old shows isn’t the answer. Don’t make Cowboy Bebop II is what I’m gonna say again.

Sketch Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Even I don't really want One Piece back on Toonami. Make no mistake, I'd enjoy having it there and I'd watch it to support it but it's only going to do worse and worse because that pacing is garbage tier and they won't be able to get new viewers to tune in for it even if it's in a good time slot (which it wouldn't be). Not to mention there's 8 series on that are either ongoing or have 100+ episodes. It's way too many even for a 7 hour block. At least let Hunter x Hunter finish and leave before anyone suggests they start airing One Piece again. Sure I'd rather have One Piece than Kai reruns but everyone knows Kai reruns are the smarter investment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginguy Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 If they are looking for something new, Fairy Tail would be my go to. Psycho-Pass would also work in a later slot. FLCL3 is a bomb, they shouldn't have made either honestly. It was a unique moment, everything was just right for it to work. Let it be. Same goes for Cowboy Bebop. Let that be. Even Pecker can't save the disgrace that is Boruto. That said they didn't do terrible in terms of key demo share, they just got annihilated by college football and LivePD....

Daos Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Are they going to air a Shonen from 2009 though? I mean it probably would have been a big hit for Toonami but I think that window of opportunity has passed. FLCL sequels just weren't a good idea to start with, and the execution was just as bad as the idea. I really hope they didn't blow too much money on these failboats.

OwlChemist81 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) Well, this is quite strange... https://programminginsider.com/solid-return-for-saturday-night-live-on-nbc/ Dragon Ball Z Kai (repeat) (ADSM, 9:00 PM, 30 min.) • 1.044 million viewers (#63) • 0.60 HH (#66) • 0.43 A18-49 (#25) • 0.46 A18-34 (#13) • 0.38 A25-54 (#42) My Hero Academia (repeat) (ADSM, 9:30 PM, 30 min.) • 1.006 million viewers (#65) • 0.60 HH (#66) • 0.42 A18-49 (#26) • 0.49 A18-34 (#8) • 0.33 A25-54 (#62) Naruto: Shippuden (repeat) (ADSM, 10:00 PM, 30 min.) • 0.976 million viewers (#67) • 0.60 HH (#66) • 0.44 A18-49 (#23) • 0.48 A18-34 (#11) • 0.36 A25-54 (#48) Boruto: Naruto Next Generations (ADSM, 10:30 PM, 30 min.) • 1.100 million viewers (#60) • 0.65 HH (#61) • 0.47 A18-49 (#18) • 0.50 A18-34 (#6) • 0.42 A25-54 (#35)What the heck could be going on here!? Well, it turns out that the numbers given above are 2x the numbers given already, so I believe these huge ratings are actually miscalculations. Not only that, but we may actually calculate the 18-34 ratings for the 9-11 PM time frame as follows: 0.230 for DBZ Kai; 0.245 for MHA; 0.240 for Shippuden; and 0.250 for Boruto. Also, Gumball might actually be doing better than Dragon Ball Super on average in the 8 PM hour in a few key metrics: Amazing World Of Gumball (TOON, 8:00 PM, 30 min.) • 0.479 million viewers (#76) • 0.31 HH (#74) • 0.15 A18-49 (#64) • 0.21 A18-34 (#22) • 0.10 A25-54 (#98) Amazing World Of Gumball (TOON, 8:30 PM, 30 min.) • 0.538 million viewers (#69) • 0.34 HH (#69) • 0.19 A18-49 (#51) • 0.24 A18-34 (#19) • 0.14 A25-54 (#78) That's at least equal to the better episodes of the Zamasu arc in total viewers, households, and adults 18-34, but lower in adults 18-49 and adults 25-54.

I've watched the first two episodes of Alternative, and although I've enjoyed both of them, it definitely feels like this show would've worked better as a completely independent project. One big complaint I have against both new FLCL shows is actually something I haven't seen anybody else mention: why do they have to be only six episodes? Just because the O.G. series was only this long doesn't mean you have to do that again. I feel like this is limiting the potential of both of them. Progressive suffered from not taking advantage of many plot points and having to abandon them by the season's end, like with amusement park and the shady dodo mascot running it. Also, they could've used more time to balance out the self-indulgence of the action scenes with more relaxed moments to make Hidomi more developed. I think if Production I.G. had only commissioned one new series, using Progressive's plot as a baseline and all the best ideas from it and Alternative expanded into a 12-episode plot, this idea might have worked better. And also, they could've used a budget higher than what most TV anime get. That won't always make a show look better, but it does seem to help most of the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say leave it there, but it kinda makes little sense that DBS is outside of Primetime, so I say do this and put it back at 10:30 on October 20th... 9 PM DBZ Kai 9:30 MHA 10 PM Black Clover 10:30 Dragon Ball Super 11 PM Boruto 11:30 Naruto Shippuden 12 AM Attack On Titan 12:30 JoJo4 1 AM Hunter x Hunter 1:30 FLCL3 2 AM One-Punch Man 2:30 Lupin 3 AM Cowboy Bebop (or other classic TBD) 3:30 Samurai Jack I think with Black Clover getting a Season 2 and usually having pretty good retention, a boost to 10 PM right before Super would be a great place for it. Then on December 8th, MegaloBox at 11 PM slides everything from 11 PM-1 AM back 30 minutes. Edited October 5, 2018 by OwlChemist81 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlChemist81 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) Well, at least it looks like we avoided the sub-200Ks: "Adult Swim’s line-up performed as follows: DRAGON BALL at 0.25 and 0.17/536K compared to last week’s 0.30 and 0.21/622K, MY HERO ACADEMIA down 0.07 to 0.14/415K, NARUTO down 0.07 to 0.15/364K, BORUTO down 0.06 to 0.17, FLCL down 0.02 to 0.15, ATTACK ON TITAN down 0.02 to 0.16, JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURES down 0.04 to 0.13, BLACK CLOVER down 0.04 to 0.14/300K, HUNTER X HUNTER down 0.03 to 0.14/263K, ONE PUNCH MAN down 0.02 to 0.14/269K, LUPIN THE 3RD down 0.01 to 0.12/229K, COWBOY BEBOP down 0.01 to 0.12/223K, and SAMURAI JACK steady at 0.13/231K."

The1gairon Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Spacing out the two Dragonball shows is kind of clever because it stabilizes the higher average ratings well at that part of the block. FLCL3 however is shitting the bed immediately after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is the first time Toonami has ever started [as]. It just HAS to get better from here, right? Alvin & The Chipmunks 3 might succeed where Puss N' Boots failed? If CN can get a blockbuster movie to end its extended broadcast day, Toonami's ratings SHOULD skyrocket. I guess we'll just wait and see if it ever happens. Even if it doesn't, moving FLCL to a later timeslot (like 1:30) would probably suffice. I'd also put Black Clover at 10 right after MHA and use it to lead-in to Dragon Ball Super at 10:30, swapping it and Boruto, and having Naruto Shippuden at 11:30.

I'll be darned. It apparently didn't show up on on-screen guides, nor does anything of the sort appear to be the case for this week's Road Chip.

The1gairon Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) Inb4 they return a portion of Saturday night back to Adult Swim because they realized starting off it with Toonami was a big mistake. I didn't think people deem Columbus Day weekend so seriously!!! Edited October 10, 2018 by elfie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a 5,000 seat capacity and it’s packed. Now look at FLCL 3. LOOK AT IT AND LAUGH. I mean... FLCL2/3 filled plenty of reasonably large panel rooms this year. But it's not Dragon Ball and it never will be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 ESPN is reporting the McGregor/Khabib fight topped 2.4 million PPV buys, possibly 2.5 million. The reason this week looked so bad is obvious now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Well, this sure is interesting... Puss In Boots (TOON, 7:00 PM, 109 min.) • 0.620 million viewers (#45) • 0.35 HH (#49) • 0.17 A18-49 (#27) • 0.17 A18-34 (#17) • 0.16 A25-54 (#56) Dragon Ball Z Kai (repeat) (ADSM, 9:00 PM, 30 min.) • 0.519 million viewers (#57) • 0.27 HH (#73) • 0.17 A18-49 (#27) • 0.17 A18-34 (#17) • 0.18 A25-54 (#45) My Hero Academia (repeat) (ADSM, 9:30 PM, 30 min.) • 0.415 million viewers (#78) • 0.25 HH (#80) • 0.14 A18-49 (#47) • 0.14 A18-34 (#27) • 0.16 A25-54 (#56) Naruto: Shippuden (repeat) (ADSM, 10:00 PM, 30 min.) • 0.364 million viewers (#86) • 0.26 HH (#76) • 0.15 A18-49 (#39) • 0.16 A18-34 (#21) • 0.16 A25-54 (#56) Boruto: Naruto Next Generations (ADSM, 10:30 PM, 30 min.) • 0.392 million viewers (#82) • 0.27 HH (#73) • 0.17 A18-49 (#27) • 0.18 A18-34 (#12) • 0.18 A25-54 (#45) Read more at: https://programminginsider.com/saturday-final-ratings-yankees-red-sox-game-two-on-tbs-delivers-most-watched-saturday-night-mlb-division-series-in-ten-years/ Edited my graph above with total viewers from DBZ Kai and retention by MHA corrected. Also, by my math that 0.14 in 18-34 for My Hero Academia is a ludicrously low 95K. If that's still satisfactory, then great, but the skeptic in me wonders how much longer this can last...
