ratings Toonami Unevenedge Ratings Discussion 3.0: Let The Good Times Roll!!!!!

The sports bars are doing events 

The nature of sports bars is that they can only do events that are happening on the national broadcast stage. Last weekend we had 9 conference championships and a UFC match. This week we've got a few basketball games, the FCS Championship game, the Army/Navy football game, the Heisman presentation, and a boxing match. I rest my case.

Besides, sports bars are pretty much a non-entity to this discussion. It's not like they would ever show Toonami (No, not even MegaloBox Season 2, which is a shame). Other "geek-oriented" programming like the Star Wars marathon on TNT and hell, even TZGZ is more of a threat to Toonami this weekend than what sports bars will show.

Y'all are gonna show the 2nd season of Megalobox whenever Toonami airs it? That's really cool!!

Oh, you must have meant the UFC 245 PPV when you said that. The weird thing is I didn't even KNOW UFC had a major PPV match until I watched College GameDay that morning and saw it advertised. And I watch wrestling pretty religiously these days, which is usually loaded with commercials for stuff like that, but I digress...

WEIRD ratings report this week to close out premieres in 2019:

http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-12-14-2019.html

Sure, the shows followed each other naturally in terms of total viewers, with only Food Wars tying Fire Force and the rest in the usual steady decline, but in 18-49? Dr. Stone AND FOOD WARS beat One-Punch Man, but Fire Force did not!? Also, Food Wars WON the block hands-down in Adult Swim's classic target demographic Adults 18-34, and both shows around it TRASHED the first three, while MHA TIED with JoJo, and (this is hilarious) Punchy TIED with the Lupin OVA 3.5 HOURS LATER in that demo!!

Food Wars makes people hungry, man, and people need ta eat!  It gets people to share recipes. A bad show can just get more ratings that you realize because other factors.

UPDATED:

"Adult Swim’s line-up performed as follows:   MY HERO ACADEMIA down 0.08 to 0.20, ONE-PUNCH MAN down 0.04 to 0.18, DR STONE up 0.02 to 0.20,  FIRE FORCE up 0.02 to 0.17, FOOD WARS up 0.05 to 0.19, DEMON SLAYER up 0.03 to 0.17/357K, BLACK CLOVER up 0.04 to 0.16/322K, JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE up 0.04 to 0.15/310K, LUPIN THE 3RD up 0.01 to 0.13/285K, SCAVENGERS at 0.12/258K, and ATTACK ON TITAN up 0.01 to 0.11/256K."

Nothing under 250K. Not too shabby!

Based on an early estimate, 18-49 isn't as encouraging, ranked 38th for the year. Guess that's what UFC PPVs do to the ratings. 😕

That's actually a little bit better than expected!!

Either regular viewers aren’t into it that much or it’s because they are a few weeks old by they air. 
 

Either way, the retention for the rest of the block is tight. 
 

I’m hoping the marathon break doesn’t drive viewers further away and they find MHA online since it doesn’t appear to be stopping there 

[brianycpht]

Very Proud of Saitama! 
 

The marathon did a little better and on par than last weeks lineup for the most part

The first episode did 493,000/0.22 which was better than the MHA that aired in the same time slot 

[OwlChemist81]

Well I'll be darned! I can hardly believe they actually worked on Christmas Night!

An average of about 359K is solidly between the other two marathons for this year. Here's hoping Dr. Stone can do similar business.

It’s tough to say, but even if it doesn’t, no one will hold it against the show.

[OwlChemist81]

Decent start to the new year:

[Jman]

MHA has low totals but ok demos.

Granted, they were up against football, so this is kind of expected.

[OwlChemist81]

Yeah, and not just any football game, a Titans vs. Patriots showdown that went into overtime!

Given that, I'm kinda surprised Dr. Stone didn't rebound over MHA, but maybe the game was on much later than that? There WAS a miniscule (+0.01) rebound in 25-54 with Fire Force over One-Punch Man, so maybe THAT was it?

[Daos]

It did not go into overtime =P

[Blatch]

Yeah. You're thinking of the Buffalo/Houston game. It was a pretty good weekend for football, but at least Toonami won't have to worry about it after this weekend.

Decent retention from most shows this week, including MHA, which lost a lot from Family Guy, but 70% or greater is pretty good for it!

Some of y'all might have noticed during Toonami this week that shows appeared to do better in trending than last week. And perhaps you were also wondering if that trend carried over to the Nielsen ratings. Well, the answer is sadly "not quite", but there IS an interesting phenomenon to note:

http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-1-11-2020.html

"Adult Swim’s line-up performed as follows: DRAGON BALL at 0.10/295K & 0.09/289K compared to last week’s 0.11/0.12,  MY HERO ACADEMIA down 0.01 to 0.21, DR STONE down 0.01 to 0.18,  ONE-PUNCH MAN up 0.03 to 0.21, FIRE FORCE steady at 0.17, FOOD WARS down 0.01 to 0.15, DEMON SLAYER down 0.01 to 0.15/283K, BLACK CLOVER up 0.02 to 0.14/257K, JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE up 0.01 to 0.12/222K, NARUTO up 0.02 to 0.13/256K, PROMISED NEVERLAND up 0.02 to 0.11/198K, and ATTACK ON TITAN up 0.01 to 0.11/200K."

That's right folks: Punchy beat MHA in 18-49 to go out for Season 2 in a blaze of glory, just like Genos almost did!! And it looks like while this week faltered over last in terms of total viewers and 18-34, it bested last week in Adults 18-49!

Baseline established, now let's see what the return of SAO can do!

Yeah, I'm not buying these monster total viewer numbers for a second. (The demographics appear to be correct.) As much as I'd love to see the Dragon Ball Power Hour over 500K, we already know from ShowBuzzDaily that the Dragon Ball Super power hour got 295K/289K, which happens to be approximately half of what was reported by ProgrammingInsider above, so I think it's obvious somehow their formula for calculating the number of total viewers has an error that makes it off by a factor of 2, and the ACTUAL numbers for Bob's Burgers and Family Guy were half of what's above, in other words, or should I say "numbers":

Bob’s Burgers (repeat) (ADSM, 9:00 PM, 30 min.) • 0.411 million viewers (#58)
Bob’s Burgers (repeat) (ADSM, 9:30 PM, 30 min.) • 0.533 million viewers (#46)
Family Guy (repeat) (ADSM, 10:00 PM, 30 min.) • 0.597 million viewers (#39)
Family Guy (repeat) (ADSM, 10:30 PM, 30 min.) • 0.682 million viewers (#28)

So that FG total is be the number I used when calculating the % retention for MHA, which is 70%, and is consistent with what we've seen lately. However, some of the demographics only retained 65-69%. Not a good look, MHA! Hopefully it does better next week!

[Jman]

I would love to poll a random theatre of people going to see MHA Rising next month and ask how many of them watch the show on Toonami.

I would bet it would be between 1/4 - 1/5 of the theatre.

[OwlChemist81]

That's probably about right. It will be interesting to see if MHA gets a later timeslot in favor of something hot and new (no pun intended) once Fire Force ends, but I haven't a clue what is out right now that could possibly do better.

The real question is, how many of the people going to see MHA Rising know the show proper's airing on Toonami.

I would bet it would be between 1/4 - 1/5 of the theatre.

1/20 at best. Super fans didn't even realize Toonami existed and was showing Super.

Nah, probably more like 1/10. That's the problem with airing on Saturday nights instead of weekdays like it did in its heyday. Then again, at one point in 2015, 2 million people all over the nation were watching DBZ Kai, so I dunno. But all the major companies except Viz push their streaming services instead of Toonami and that's a problem.

I have noticed FUNimation NOW commercials on AXS of all places. I wonder if that means that someday in the near future AXS will try a FUNimation block? Probably not...

BTW, I just realized something: Toonami's current look is actually its SEVENTH graphic set on Adult Swim!

Week 3 numbers are in, and MHA soars to new heights not seen since last year:

http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-1-18-2020.html

A top 10 berth with 0.29 in 18-49 for My Hero Academia is remarkable, but the #5 ranking and 0.31 in 18-34 is even better! Too bad Dr. Stone dropped the ball, but the next 3 shows gained on each other big-time!! And Food Wars! and Demon Slayer actually bested MHA in Men 18-49!

[The1gairon]

😮 I'd LOVE to see what ratings the upcoming climactic face-off Deku x Overhaul will bring in!

[Jman]

Here I thought the PPV was going to hurt it more.  The huge demand is pretty obvious, but I guess the lack of college football helped.

[PokeNirvash]

Fire Force beat out SAO in total viewers by 1K? And Food Wars beat them both in the key demo? As far as ratings go these days, this is rather pleasing.

Edited January 22, 2020 by PokeNirvash

[Sketch]

MHA had a great night and Food Wars was the 2nd highest rated with A18-49? That's wild.

Dr. Stone doesn't seem to be holding MHA very well. That's unfortunate.

It is clear from this new information that the gap between the 2nd FG and MHA is closing! But recall that MHA got a 0.31 in Adults 18-34. That means the flagship show of Toonami actually retained 86% of Adult Swim's classic target demographic! And as for the rest of Toonami:

Third time's the charm!!! Nothing under 200K total viewers, and all premieres above 200K adults 18-49! Dr. Stone is showing considerable weakness at 11:30, though. That may mean that the second season may be back at midnight or perhaps even later. Even so, let's just hope Toonami can keep the momentum going! The first few shows might even be up against the Trump Impeachment Trial this weekend!

Woah the DBZ reruns are Super high!! 😮 What happened! We're on a roll!

[OwlChemist81]

Sadly, not in 18-49 and 18-34. Those DBZ Kai numbers are quite low. I'm glad they at least got to finish the Frieza arc before it got pulled, but man, that DBS rerun went nowhere. Oh well, maybe if Home Movies bombs on weeknights, DBS will get another chance there from the beginning later this year like in 2018. I think it's a good decision on [as]'s part to replace those reruns with reruns of MHA Season 4, but it will be interesting to see what they do, especially with the 8:30 timeslot, once it catches up to the premieres.

If you have no clue what I'm talking about, there's a tweet for that:

Super has one good arc, the rest is just absolute trash. Not surprising.

[OwlChemist81]

Hey, I enjoyed the Beerus arc, even if it was just a slightly crappier version of Battle of Gods on a boat! But the Future Trunks arc was by far the best!

[OwlChemist81]

Toonami continues to get stronger in the ratings, and the 500K+ club has a new member for 2020, which even beats MHA in 18-49:

http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-1-25-2020.html

[Ginguy]

Wow the share in key demo....

A sea of green, if that keeps up then things will only be brighter for Toonami.

I noticed a lack of shows being announced to replace, but I think people are forgetting that they have Blade Runner that is supposed to premiere this year at some time. Since it is an original series, I think it will be at least 12 eps, possibly 24. They might not be picking up as many new shows because of that.

[OwlChemist81]

Last I heard about Blade Runner: Black Lotus is it will be more like 2021. So I don't think that's it.

I'm sure Dr. Stone will be replaced by something hot and new! I daresay it's also tame enough for a Season 1 rerun at 8 or 8:30 once MHA reruns catch up to the premieres. If [as]/Toonami plays their cards right, it could even be scheduled so that once MHA reruns end, Dr. Stone takes over the entire power hour, with the final 2 episodes airing the night that Season 2 premieres later on during Toonami!

One other oddball prediction I have is a 4th of July marathon for Fire Force (15-24), since it should also be coming back with Season 2 around that time.

Good start for MHA reruns, and Toonami just kept kicking ass all night long!!! Averages: 378K total viewers; and an estimated 272K 18-49. Programming Insider will provide more accurate numbers!

CURRENT 500K+ CLUB 2020: MHA; DR. STONE. I suppose it's probably only a matter of time until some shows in the 12 AM hour join the club too!

  Those are some pretty solid share numbers in key demo. It does seem to track with Toonami's past seasonal performances, so I suspect the shows currently being aired will do well this year. I don't think there will be a record set, but I suspect that the block as a whole will perform in line with the past years and probably continue. Spring is usually a pretty strong time for Toonami, with there being less sports to compete with outside of the NCAA men's tourney in March. Hopefully the trend will continue to hold for a while.

I know right? But they had to “wait and see if it was going to stay popular 

http://toonamifaithful.com/toonamis-hero-academia-will-finally-happen/

 

That thinking combined with them rather getting established “names” like Gundam, HxH, OPM, and Jojo firmly established MHA as a streaming show. Now I don’t think Funimation will even let them have the dub premeire if they paid 

Unfortunately, the idea of Toonami making a show popular is a relic of the past. It will never be the the primary source for premeires like it used to

That's why they need to build a following. It probably just posted the best number it's ever done, and a lot of that is because it's like 3 weeks behind the sub instead of 4 years behind.
