OwlChemist81 Posted September 20, 2023 Author Share Posted September 20, 2023 Not bad, Toonami!! https://www.spoilertv.com/2023/09/tv-ratings-for-saturday-16th-september.html?m=1 Well, nothing above 200K total viewers, but FLCL: Grunge got a 0.09 in 18-49 and all 5 premieres made the Top 50! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted September 22, 2023 Author Share Posted September 22, 2023 Weekly numbers are out: https://www.spoilertv.com/2023/03/top-400-cable-shows-week-ending-26th_01602488462.html?m=1 Fooly Cooly: Grunge landed a 0.093 in 18-49 and 189K viewers overall (but we already knew that) in Week 2. So that means so far FLCL: GRUNGE has averaged 198K and 0.0895 in 18-49. Will tomorrow night's finale push it over 200K and 0.09 18-49? We shall see!

OwlChemist81 Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 Well... https://www.spoilertv.com/2023/09/tv-ratings-for-saturday-23rd-september.html?m=1 With a 2-week average of 198K leading into the finale of FLCL: Grunge, last week’s episode was just slightly higher at 199K, making the mini-series average 198,333. On to Shoegaze!! The rest of the lineup did pretty decent too, as both One Pieces and the 1:30 Naruto Shippuden made the Top 50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonamiguy321 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Can’t believe we have to pencil down Grunge as a success. 3 for 3 on passable viewership. I hope at the very least Shoegaze does better so Demarco doesn’t get the wrong idea that making cheap CGI garbage is a good thing people want more of. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see those HBO Max numbers. That's the litmus test. I mean just from a Toonami specific perspective. Last year we saw HCC completely bomb after its first episode. Grunge didn’t blow the lid off anything, but its viewership stayed fairly consistent and was slightly over the average we expect for the block in late 2023. Can’t ask for much more from a show these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted September 29, 2023 Author Share Posted September 29, 2023 Wow, that 2nd episode did poorly, a 146K and 0.05 in 18-49, but on the whole, HCC didn't do THAT bad, averaging 188,500 viewers and a 0.0825 in 18-49, buoyed mainly by a blockbuster first episode that hit 247K and a 0.12 in 18-49. Grunge, however, did better on average and was indeed more consistent. While HCC ranged 101K and 0.07 in 18-49, all 3 premiere episodes of Grunge hit a rounded 0.09, varying 0.007, and only 18K viewers separated the best and worst episodes.

Jman Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Meanwhile, Demon Slayer over the weekend was #7 on the Netflix Top 10 which is good because the new Castlevania series apparently sucks ass. We’ll see how the audience reacts to Shoegaze but I point this out because Demon Slayer wasn’t a big show for Toonami, then Netflix airs it, supercharged the Mugen Train release, and that was arguably the beginning of the end for Toonami as a major player. I guess there’s the Rick and Morty anime but that’s basically a curio for people. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlChemist81 Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share Posted October 10, 2023 I have been fearing that one week the consistent success of FLCL would fail and the lineup would tank, BUT THAT AIN'T THIS WEEK!! https://www.spoilertv.com/2023/10/tv-ratings-for-saturday-7th-october-2023.html?m=1 Boom!! Episode 2 of Shoegaze hit 0.13 in 18-49, checking in at #21 with 245K viewers, while the One Pieces were #30-#31 with 0.11 and 180K and 178K, which are the highest numbers the Pirate Power Hour has done since starting at 12:30. Even the Shippudens didn't do too shabby, though one did miss the Top 50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonamiguy321 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Damn that’s like the 2nd or 3rd highest lead in of the whole year. I think the audience finally found an FLCL sequel they can like. Really shows how we need some fresh meat later on though, because very little of that FLCL bump carried over into the shonen block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted October 13, 2023 Author Share Posted October 13, 2023 New update for Top 200 Cable Reruns just hit the site, and an episode of King Of The Hill made it on Friday Night/Saturday Morning at 5 AM, supposedly after the Rick & Morty marathon: https://www.spoilertv.com/2023/03/top-200-cable-reruns-week-ending-26th_01243089880.html?m=1 Good grief! Perhaps more appropriately to the T.U.R.D., the R&M immediately prior to Toonami hit the Top 10 at #6 and delivered an impressive 0.175 in 18-49 and 321K total viewers as the lead-in to the block. https://www.spoilertv.com/2023/03/top-400-cable-shows-week-ending-26th_01602488462.html?m=1 And it turns out FLCL dropped considerably, 0.047 in 18-49 and 76K total viewers.

OwlChemist81 Posted October 18, 2023 Author Share Posted October 18, 2023 FLCL makes the Top 50 to conclude its premiere run, but at least all other premieres do decently: https://www.spoilertv.com/2023/10/tv-ratings-for-saturday-14th-october.html?m=1 I do believe all 3 episodes of Shoegaze cracked 200K, and that's pretty impressive!

MasqueradeOverture Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) Didn't know where else to put this, but you know how Discovery's been weirdly cropping older shows? Well it looks like American Dad's showing in uncropped 4:3. The source clearly looks SD so it's not a remastered thing either.

Idk about that. With no other context, yea it’s decent, or more like average. But considering this is the show we sacrificed the quality of the block for 10 months for? Those numbers are garbage. The midnight FLCL rerun 2 weeks ago got 200/0.09. This is barely better and probably has 3-4 acquired shows worth of budget sunk into it. Age? Popularity? Demarco telling people it would never air? Combination of them all? Whatever the case, they gambled hard on this and it looks like they only stand to break even. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s a matter of people wanting to wait. Demarco told everyone multiple times it was never going to happen. At that point, not watching it is just being foolish, what are you even waiting for? The Toonami audience has always been pretty loyal to a show running on the block. If we weren’t repeatedly told it was never going to happen, I think a lot of people would have backlogged it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we had a few shows prior to that fall under 100k. But we are talking 95-99k at 3-4am so not a huge deal as 80k at what I believe was 10pm. That marathon was destined for disaster. It slid Toonami way forward on the schedule into primetime and Family Guy had just left a gaping void on the network. Add on that Fena was incredibly boring and you have a recipe for a night no one wanted to tune in for. If nothing else, it showed Zaslav these shows have almost no value as reruns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted November 24, 2023 Author Share Posted November 24, 2023 It was an all-show marathon of Fena that ran from 10:30 PM-5 AM. One of the last times Toonami would ever air that early to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
