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.

We could’ve been even closer if we didn’t have to take 3 holiday breaks at the end of 2019. I think if they are serious about keeping up they can’t take off if Funimation or Japan isn’t

Even so, it’s still airing at the ass end of Saturday night.  No one realized this was going to be the “X-Men for millennials”.  (At this point they might as well get the guy who went “Previously on X-Men” to go “Previously on My Hero Academia”.)

Not since 2006, anyway. But perhaps losing Family Guy in 2021 will finally change that for the first time in 15 years?

Not sure why we don't get full numbers for the 2nd MHA, but whatever.

Dead center, but even so, it was still a "slightly above average" night, as the total viewers average and the 18-49 average were higher than their year to date counterparts by ~6k and ~11k, respectively.

That ship sailed a decade ago.  Great when Toonami/ASA was the only game in town, less so when every streaming service got it and spread it online for 24/7 viewing.

It is pretty remarkable that FOUR Toonami shows made the Top 10 last week, but I don't think I said enough about how astonishing a feat this was, because it did not happen in 2019 AT ALL! So it's been OVER A YEAR since we've seen anything like that! I guess we'll find out tomorrow if the promotion of Demon Slayer made it sustaining or if it was just a fluke...

Also, MHA's Toonami premiere retained 76% of Family Guy's total viewers and adults 18-49, but a whopping almost 95% of adults 18-34 (recall that MHA scored a 0.35 in Adults 18-34):

Last week we took a step ahead. This week, we take 2 steps back:

Nonetheless quite an impressive feat for Demon Slayer, going up 0.05 from "SAO long-ass title" in 18-34!

Put simply, being so far behind = Not being a primary source.  Let’s see the box office numbers for Rising before we decide who gets the blame, though.

Next week is Wilder vs Fury II.  That’s gonna be fun times for the ratings.

Did Fury get in shape this time?

Main event set to occur at midnight EST.

And the local watering hole is packed.  They’re jammed to the rafters in here, with a record number of bars ordering the PPV, so I expect a huge buy rate, and less people watching Toonami 12-1.

Looks like I have a LOT to get to here. First, the numbers for the pre-Toonami shows finally came in from last week (2/15):

My Hero Academia (repeat) (ADSM, 8:00 PM, 30 min.) • 0.264 million viewers (#94) • 0.15 HH (#94) • 0.08 A18-49 (#91) • 0.09 A18-34 (#55) • 0.08 A25-54 (#99) • 0.04 A55+

Bobs Burgers (repeat) (ADSM, 9:00 PM, 30 min.) • 0.403 million viewers (#63) • 0.24 HH (#63) • 0.17 A18-49 (#29) • 0.14 A18-34 (#20) • 0.19 A25-54 (#37) • 0.06 A55+

I think the reason we only have truncated numbers for the 8:30 airing of MHA is that it failed to make the Top 100 in 18-49. That's not great news. I guess we should all just be gracious that the Overhaul arc did well enough to get a prime time rerun, but I doubt action will be able to hang onto 8:30 for long. That could bode well for the return of 11 PM to Toonami before too long as well, but alternatively they could just stick an American Dad episode in there.

As for MHA's retention on 2/15 for the mid-season finale of the Overhaul arc, looks like it was 79% in Adults 18-49 and 25-54, but 82% in total viewers and 89% in Adults 18-34, which speaks to its strength on how it was able to get the 8 PM hour in the first place. It maintained a pretty impressive 84% average retention from Family Guy in 2020, and 90% in the past 5 weeks, in Adults 18-34. That's not Dragon Ball Super strength, but it's still pretty impressive!

Now on to the numbers from 2/22, starting with the Show Buzz Daily report. Was it a knockout blow for Fury vs. Wilder? Not exactly...

Down quite a bit on average, to be sure, but comparable to what those timeslots have done in recent weeks.

"Adult Swim’s line-up performed as follows: MY HERO ACADEMIA at 0.07/196 & 0.09/202K, compared to last week’s 0.09/262K & 0.08/243K and 0.29, DR STONE up 0.02 to 0.24,  SWORD ART UNDERWORLD up 0.06 to 0.23, DEMON SLAYER up 0.02 to 0.22/362K, FOOD WARS up 0.03 to 0.20, BLACK CLOVER steady at 0.18/308K, JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE up 0.03 to 0.17/283K, NARUTO up 0.01 to 0.14/233K, PROMISED NEVERLAND up 0.01 to 0.13/233K, and ATTACK ON TITAN up 9.01 (??) to 0.12/193K."

Look at all those "ups". Even without the absolutely implausible "up 9.01" that AOT got (it apparently was at "-8.87" last week somehow 🙄) which is obviously the result of a typo, this is pretty impressive, despite Tyson Fury's fierce attack on the Bronze Bomber and Toonami. It also means that the truncated block is working out well for Toonami and we might not get 11 PM back anytime soon.

As expected, all of those "ups" combined to produce a very "middle of the road" result. Actually slightly below the Toonami timeslots average for 2020 so far, but only just. Hopefully with MHA back leading the pack, and the fat on the back end trimmed, the leaner, meaner Toonami of 2/29 and beyond will just keep improving!!

MHA reruns are actually up against a wall, or at least the power hour seems to be. It looks like this week (2/29) will feature episodes 411 and 412 in primetime while 414 premieres on Toonami. The following week (3/7), it's episodes 413 and 414 while 415 premieres on Toonami. Then the week after that (3/14)? Probably gonna fall back down to just one episode (415) at 8 PM and later at 11:30 on Toonami the premiere of episode 416. I guess they COULD give 414 a 3-peat, and that would be an interesting twist because it's the first episode of the 2nd arc. They DID do something similar with Dragon Ball Super, though it was 8:30 premieres followed by 11:30 reruns, then 8 PM the following week for the 3-peat leading-in to the next week's premiere at 8:30. WOULD they play the same episode of MHA once each night for 3 weeks in a row in different timeslots? I guess we'll find out!

I'm personally rooting for Dr. Stone to take over 8:30, though that would probably be a tough drop. Maybe if CN aired something remotely educational at 7 PM (Currently Infinity Train reruns), Dr. Stone at 8 would be a decent move before MHA at 8:30.

Looks like Kai is back at 8pm on Saturday on March 14th and MHA encores run at 8:30pm.

Also Bobs Burgers is off Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday they replaced it with Rick & Morty and a 10pm airing of The Boondocks. One late night Boondocks on Saturday is replaced with Venture Bros. Nice to see The Boondocks in late prime time.

Curious to see how the prime time ratings panned out. All we know is that Toonami only got an OK start at 455/0.2. It seems to always work best when they put American Dad next to Family Guy, but lately they've been using it as their prime time anchor more and more

Well folks, I think we officially have our worst ratings of the year, as Toonami is a dud on Leap Day:

Final-Cable-2020-Feb-29-SAT.png

JoJo checks in at #53.

"Adult Swim’s line-up performed as follows: MY HERO ACADEMIA at 0.20 and 0.06/177K & 0.06/175K, compared to last week’s 0.07/196 & 0.09/202K, SWORD ART UNDERWORLD down 0.06 to 0.17, DEMON SLAYER down 0.06 to 0.16/313K, FOOD WARS down 0.05 to 0.15, BLACK CLOVER down 0.04 to 0.14/268K, JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE down 0.02 to 0.15/268K, NARUTO down 0.03 to 0.11/201K, PRIMAL at 0.10/174K, and SAMURAI JACK at 0.08/154K."

Down down down. LOOK at all those "downs!" And MHA reruns hit a new low...

MHA’s movie was #4 at the box office, pretty good for a limited release (it easily eclipsed Two Heroes’ gross) but the Toonami ratings are down.

The disconnect is more apparently every day.

Maybe they should've plugged Toonami in the theater, like they did for the Dragonball Z movie.

They are essentially showing a month old rerun of it. Considering they were handing out coupons for a month of Funimation, I bet they’d rather you didn’t know it aired on Toonami. They are more than happy to take a check from Toonami though to air it on a delay 

I bet a very small percent of people watching in the theater watch it on Toonami. Considering they are airing episodes from 6 weeks ago, most fans of the show probably even abandoned the simuldub and are watching the sub.

Even if we had the premeire, the idea of having to tune in at a specific time is too much for today’s audience and they’d probably stream it anyway

I'm gonna guess the sudden removal of Bobs Burgers in favor of Rick & Morty and The Boondocks played a hand in MHA barely pulling in 0.2

I've met tons of people IRL that are MHA fans. Not one watched it on Toonami. Or anything on Toonami. Ever.

It’s not the main source anymore.

BTW, film has pulled down $10 million, so saying the show is unpopular is lies.

Yeah, I work like 48 hours a week now, so I haven't been able to crunch the numbers of this latest ratings report:

Boondocks' boon backfired bigtime!

 

 

And just like that, Bob is back on Saturday, they add an American Dad and The Boondocks and Rick & Morty are gone from Saturday prime time. Next up, DBZ Kai returns for the whole 8PM hour.

Yeah, the Overhaul arc might have failed in primetime reruns, but at least they tried it!

All those "UPS!" Not too shabby!

Well, the Coronavirus started keeping people inside, but did that help Toonami's ratings? Not so much:

http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/showbuzzdailys-top-150-saturday-cable-originals-network-finals-3-14-2020.html

Final-Cable-2020-Mar-14-SAT.png

"Adult Swim’s line-up performed as follows: DRAGON BALL at 0.11/237K & 0.15/326K, MY HERO ACADEMIA up 0.03 to 0.26, SWORD ART UNDERWORLD down 0.03 to 0.19, DEMON SLAYER down 0.02 to 0.18/358K, FOOD WARS down 0.02 to 0.16, BLACK CLOVER down 0.02 to 0.15/275K, JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE down 0.02 to 0.13/235K, NARUTO steady at 0.13/236K, PRIMAL steady at 0.12/217K, and SAMURAI JACK up 0.03 to 0.13/228K."

Mostly "down" or "steady" for Toonami; only "up" for MHA and of course the returning DBZ Kai did well as it always does!

Well, this was kind of a "transition" weekend, but from here on out, no sports or nightlife will interfere with Toonami, so this DOES stand to benefit it going forward, but it could be that news and LIVE PD's numbers go through the roof instead. It will be interesting to see how the new reality of the coronavirus affects Toonami.
