You missed the ratings for Family Guy, Futurama and Aqua Teen. I wonder if Master Moltar has the first part.

Ahh, Kim had a baby.:anime: Too bad the baby is out of their target range. Well, it can always watch Toonami.;)

ah I thought I noticed the screen change! to slow to react though :(

and AS is mean! babies aren't useless! :mad:


lol 8th new wonder of the world is that anime is still on AS! sure sounds like something people on the internet would vote for!

[Mugen]

So, the eighth wonder of the world is AS still airing anime on their schedule. Must be a recent addition.

[Rolling Cloud]

*exhales breath* I'm glad to see that Bleach got good ratings this week, hard to see why not. LOL

[Master Moltar]

You missed the ratings for Family Guy, Futurama and Aqua Teen. I wonder if Master Moltar has the first part.

In fact, I do.

Family Guy - 947K
Robot Chicken - 908K
ATHF - 694K

Good to see the weekday anime is doing well, especially Bleach. The drop off from RC to ATHF is also bigger than the one from ATHF to Bleach, which is interesting.

We also see why IY is keeping a full hour at the end of the block. Nearly 500K at 1:30, and I'm sure the following episode wasn't too far behind.

With the exception of Futurama and the second IY episode, we know the ratings for last Monday.

And IY shows why it's smart for AS to keep it around. Kinda like DBZ on Toonami. Makes you wonder why AS doesn't try get more episodes of IY made. They definately, have the material to work with.

[beren]

What where saturdays ratings?

[Rabi~en~Rose]

and now... ratings


Saturday, July 7th


Futurama: 411,000
Bleach: 301,000
Blood+: 275,000

not so great


Down: Futurama, Bleach
New: Blood+

[Ahiru-kun]

If those were the top three ratings, things don't look good for Astro Boy.

[Master Moltar]

I'm guessing that the reason is because it was the weekend of July 4th. Affected everything pretty badly (except Futurama, of course)

[Kitschensyngk]

Ahh, Venture Bros. The only show that dares to ask the all-important question...do Smurfs lay eggs?

"OK...whose job was it to feed the butterflies?"

[livingfruitvirus]

I'm guessing that the reason is because it was the weekend of July 4th. Affected everything pretty badly (except Futurama, of course)

July 4th was on a Wednesday.

[Rabi~en~Rose]

Sunday, July 8th


Family Guy: 1,339,000
Chicken: 982,000
Futurama (10:30): 722,000

I think viewers might prefer 11 minutes of Chicken to 22


Up: Futurama (10:30), Chicken
New: Family Guy

[Ahiru-kun]

Saturday ratings continue to be erractic while Sunday ratings stay consistant.

[Master Moltar]

July 4th was on a Wednesday.

Doesn't mean that people couldn't celebrate on Saturday. I know I was still hearing fire crackers going off that night.

Sunday is back in full form. I'm surprised [as] didn't gloat about the FG marathon numbers though.

[Sketch]

Ooo a 400kish average for weekday anime super special awesome time. So... why not have weekday premieres at least during the summer?

[The Myst]

The Venture Brothers is such an amazing show. You really start to take it for granted when you see it every week but then when you go months without seeing an episode and then it comes on, it's so refreshing.

[MeggieMay]

July 4th was on a Wednesday.
I noticed in my area of the country some folks took off the weekend before, some took off the weekend after July 4th, and others took the entire week off :p. Also, according to several news casts I heard The 4th of July Holiday is/has become a big "family" holiday for many families, similar to Thanksgiving. I have to admit I was surprised at this myself because it wasn't really that type of Holiday [well if everyone was in town we would celebrate together but we didn't go out of our way to all be in town, unlike Thanksgiving and Christmas where we would do that], IMO or memory, when I was growing up (other than 1976 but that was a Event for obvious reasons :sweat: ).

[HG Revolution]

Sci-Fi

Tokko -can't care-
Noein -can't care-
Macross Plus -can't care- Was this the card or did you just decide to not write it down.

[Master Moltar]

That was on the actual card.

And I highly doubt they have enough episodes of anything for weekday premieres.

[D Dubbs]

Sci-Fi
Tokko -can't care-
Noein -can't care-
Macross Plus -can't care-

Hmm, that isn't the correct order for Sci Fi's lineup. I wonder if AS has the ratings then. If they do and Tokko is indeed getting the highest ratings, I would be disappointed. Tokko is by far my least favorite show on Ani-Monday.

*exhales breath* I'm glad to see that Bleach got good ratings this week, hard to see why not. LOL

It was only for Monday, not the whole week.

If those were the top three ratings, things don't look good for Astro Boy.

There was no Astro Boy on July 7th. Besides, I wouldn't worry too much. I'm sure AS isn't expecting it to get stellar ratings

Sorry i was late, i was busy last night...
Anywho, do you think Harvey Birdman might run on weekdays now since the series run is now over?

[D Dubbs]

Anywho, do you think Harvey Birdman might run on weekdays now since the series run is now over?

First of all, it's not over. There's still a half hour finale left. Second, assuming AS's schedule doesn't change in the next 3 weeks, yes, there will be a weekday run starting August 6th at midnight.

[Rolling Cloud]

It was only for Monday, not the whole week.

I figured that, just didn't get a chance to edit my post. :sweat:

Actually if that is the order of how they really are doing that's more information than SciFi's given out :cool:. I actually didn't save this part back because I figured it was just part of the card (it wasn't in the post of the numbers over at ASMB).

Anyway, Adult Swim most likely does have the ratings for Ani-Monday, just as SciFi most likely has ratings for Adult Swim. They also likely both networks have the complete numbers and demos - something most of us will never see. Keep in mind that the Cable channels pay Nielsen for the ratings information they gather, as do the advertisers who use them (that's how Nielsen makes a profit off their service). Now Nielsen also controls how much of the ratings info they allow each network to publish which is why we don't see more numbers than we do. As I've mentioned before (though it might not have been in this specific thread or even this board), Nielsen gets upset and sends cease and desist letters to people who post their ratings information without paying for it (I'm not sure if they've ever ended up having to go to court or not, though). Or if they post too much, they have also been known to punish groups if they are subscribers to the service (I have a vague memory of something like this happening to some network or entertainment show, back in the 1980s, who got carried away posting specific ratings number).

So this is why we aren't seeing more ratings information. Then again, I'm not sure most people who work outside of the Industry or advertising, can actually read all of that information to begin with (I sure can't). Just how the numbers are broken down and used varies from network to network and advertiser to advertiser. I've found that in the last ten years it is best to focus on a specific networks ratings and how that network seems to use them, particularly when it comes to Cable networks. Keep in mind the Nielsen ratings are broken down by major categories (Broadcast/Cable/Syndication/Digital/Dish are some of the main groups) and that the numbers from these are not compared against each other because each category uses a different formula to get the final ratings information. Toss in that Cable has become fairly specialized with many channels interested in their specific niche and not worried about what another networks numbers are verse how they can increase their networks specific numbers/demos and comparing rating numbers across Cable networks tends to not even be that relevant in the long haul. In this case Adult Swim doesn't seem to see SciFi as even in the ball park as a equal, let alone a real competitor. With SciFi, they seem to be actually more interested in getting their overall numbers out of the dumpster and gaining more 17-35 year olds to their demos than simply beating AS (however SciFi has stated they are trying to take part of AS's market in some of their press releases, so they do see the Adult Swim block as the competition).

[Sketch]

Ah yes Siren. FMA's most notable filler but a good episode none the less. If Luci Christian sounds like Siren (who she voices) when she voices Nami then that will be great. I imagine the directors will want her to sound a bit less mature though. :shrug:

[TnAdct1]

A little reminder for people watching tonight's episode of Bleach: make sure you have the following clip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZ3p_KWFSnQ) ready when a certain scene takes place. :p

[D Dubbs]

A little reminder for people watching tonight's episode of Bleach: make sure you have the following clip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZ3p_KWFSnQ) ready when a certain scene takes place. :p

WTF. Was that in the dub?

[TnAdct1]

WTF. Was that in the dub? No, this is a piece from AMV Hell 3: The Motion Picture. The clip took some dialouge from episode 23 (tonight's episode) and looped it to make it appear as if Ichigo and Ganju's "scream reaction" lasted longer than it actually does in the anime (personally, I mute the TV and cue this clip when the episode gets to that scene).

[D Dubbs]

Ah, okay. I didn't remember it being like that.

[Kitschensyngk]

The scene where Orihime imagines Kukaku as a cat is cuter in the original Japanese language version.

Partly in fact that the Japanese VA of Orihime was also the voice of Osaka from Azumanga Daioh.

[TnAdct1]

It's screaming time!!! :D

spoiler tagged just to be safe:

In this Saturday's Bleach, there's a shot of a manji when Yoruichi is explaining the 'Bankai' to Ichigo. Should a note be placed in the talkback stating that it's a manji and not a swatiska?

[Don_East]

Orihime is so cute and funny. The episode that's on right shows that as a fact.

Yeah, um... rewatching these repeat Bleach episodes reminds me to ask... does Kuukaku make a lot of future appearances? Please say she does.

[Kitschensyngk]

INUYASHA episode 75: THE PLOT OF THE PANTHER DEVAS with special guest RADICAL EDWARD!

The clips keep coming...250 Boondocks clips right here (http://www.adultswim.com/video/?section=Comedy&collectionID=8a25c3920eaf5fa6010eafc3fecd017e). I predict Harvey Birdman will be next to get the clip treatment. Speaking of which, the series finale (http://www.adultswim.com/video/?episodeID=8a25c39213d9b1600113dad994b60026) is now available.

I think Kim Manning has something to do with the first Bleach ad coming back. And I've not seen the Orihime ad, think about it.

Nope. The anime didn't explain what happened to him, but in the manga Kagome took the jewel shard out of his forehead as it was trying to destroy him from the inside out (similiar to what happened with Sesshomaru's arm) and he went back into the forest.

I stand corrected then.

I keep forgetting...which GitS:SAC 2ND GIG episode ends with the eleven chopping each other's heads off? Every week I keep thinking it's this episode (this week excluded).

I was surprised at how many oral sex jokes they stuffed into that dart-blowing segment during Shin Chan tonight. There was one every 5 seconds basically...

If you're talking about the demon I think you're talking about, that scene was animated and aired originally in Japan as part of an hour special. But, when the special was divided into two episodes for the DVD release, that scene was removed.
