The girls have a fandom and it's not only in Japan. :wink:
I'm curious about the next episodes rankings, since the girls are already out.

I still believe those short intros that started playing recently before the Opening to hype the audience may be one of the reasons for this numbers though.

Me, personally, won't have any interest in the arc as much anymore with them out. I also haven't met even a handful of Ribrianne fans so I wouldn't be surprised if this week's episode has a lower rating than last weeks.

I wont be surprised if it goes below 5.0, thats what happened last time the Androids got the focus.

Episode 102 - TV 4.5% (7th)
Episode 103 - TV 4.4% (5th)

Really hope this makes Toei want to do some films or OVAs with the girls. I'd really, really love that.

I like Caulifla and Kale, but I know I'd like them a lot more if I was half my age because they're so similar to archetypes I liked back then where as now I'm more just appreciative of them and think they're a cool part of the tournament (I'm a bit world weary nowadays, methinks). Leads me to agree that they are grabbing a lot of fans in that age group.

I would want them to be part of the main focus if we get Planet Sadala Arc in 2018, Toei could bring back Kefla for the Climax of the arc :think:

Believe it or not, it was the Goku v. Jiren Special (Eps. 109/110) - TV 3.5%
However, as someone who has been following the ratings since episode 1, I can say that, aside from some specific episodes, ratings are very random. It occured more than once that an anticipated episode (like the special) doesn't do great, while some random filler episode actually does quite well (episode 75, for example - 7.6%).

I think that people are more likely to stream a show instead of siting down to watch it on the couch in front of a television.

The special's only got low ratings because Asahi moved Kamen Rider and sentai opposite DBS and OP the week or so before.

I can't judge the post move ratings be the same as the pre move ones.

Every single episode and it's ratings are listed in the OP.

It's disappointing to me that most people don't even seem to be aware of this considering I'm kind of sick of updating it every week and wish I'd never actually started it.

Yeah, this is extremely important. Live ratings won't ever reach the highs of episode 47 and such after the Sentai/Rider timeslot move. We should look from 109 onwards now.

It's always worth mentioning, though, that:

- DBS has the stronger opponent (Rider airs at 9am and it's more popular and has considerably more viewers than Sentai)
- both Super and One Piece are destroying the competition. Last we heard, Sentai/Rider can't even reach 3.0 now.

True, however, we also got the averages for each arc. And it shows for example that Future Trunks arc did way better than 2 retellings and Champa.

Do people pay more attention to ratings instead of the placement in the top 10? Some weeks all of the shows have a lower score percentage on the ratings, then other weeks there’s more of a spike. Personally I’d say the placement is more important.

Indeed, without context the number can only tell you so much, let's not forget there are weeks where normally more viewed shows don't air, which of course is then reflected in the ratings and placements.
