Dragon Ball Super: TV Ratings Discussion Thread

But I'm saying they wouldnt mind him getting out of the game because they can understand the reasoning better.

That is more less assumption since Gohan didn't rank high until he was on par with his father in the Cell Saga. He dropped from the top 5 when Gohan was shown living a normal life like any Japanese boy.

I'm not speaking about popularity rankings though. I'm just saying they're not going to be as hard pressed for him coming back because they'll be able to accept it better. Also, I never said it was anything but an assumption

I don't think it has anything to do with them accepting Gohan's life choice. It's more that they don't really care if he's in the story or not, much like most of the secondary cast.

Well, we don't know that. The fact that Gohan's new design and ultimate form returning was so hyped up makes me think they do care although I'm not sure.

Toei may care because of money. The general audience, however, have shown that they're perfectly happy with it being the Goku and Vegeta show with guest star Trunks. They also seem to really love Krillin since his episodes got higher ratings than Gohan's Saiyaman episodes or even the Gohan episode from the Future Trunks Saga.

The ratings fluctuate like crazy when it comes to the percent. The placing is what matters (7th most of the time ) because if the ratings go down or up for everything then it can't be based on what super is showing. Besides , even if you ignore that the krillin episode that had a high rating had Gohan advertised in the NEP. Plus the Gohan episodes got a higher rating than the Goku versus hit rematch so I guess that means they don't care about hit and Goku? Besides the general audience is what'll give Toei money obviously. Lastly, the high Trunks rating also has to do with the return of a villian, an evil fucking Goku, and the start of a new arc.

The fact remains that all Gohan central episode don't score that well compared to others. Also, the Goku vs. Hit rematch, Episode 72 - TV 5.6% (5th), happened during Christmas in Japan. Even then, it was a .3 different.

And this new arc is billed as the return of several character who haven't had spotlight in years, yet the audience don't seem to care about that.

Like I said, its the ranking of the episode that shows how popular the content was, not the actual rating. If every show is down the weak a Gohan episode airs, is it really a negative for Gohan ?

No. I said that the Japan fandom don't care about Gohan in that way. They may like seeing him, but they're seem perfectly happy just having Goku and Vegeta run the entire show. And the ratings are important since, like I said, almost every Gohan focused episode has seen an overall down turn in ratings, outside of this recent episode. It isn't just all about rankings. And speaking of which...

Good ratings for this new arc. Although, everything is up this week. I guess even the Japanese fans wanted to see Gohan do something at least over Buu.

Nice. Hopefully this upward spiral continues. This makes me happy because this episode deserved it.

I'm saying that the ratings went down for other series those weeks too, so there's no way Gohan caused the ratings to drop. It's just a coincidence. Just like this week was a coincidence that it rose. The percentages are good because it means more people watched that week, but the ranking is what really matters. It shows how good it did in comparison to other shows. If the percentage dropped, but the ranking stays the same it means that there was an overall change amongst all the shows. That means what happened in super that week isn't the cause of the ratings dropping.

I'm with you here, although sometimes the numbers aren't big, the position is what matters, I remember when Super reached 2nd place but the rating didn't reach 7%. Not many people watched it but it was the 2nd most watched anime that week, and that is what matters at the end.

Do you remember which episode that was ? That's pretty neat.

[Sodhi]

Max placement of Super was 3rd place in Episode 47 and 25. 25 only had 5.7

[buutenks]

Seems nothing changed. Guess the new arc didnt attract more people. In japan anyways.

But anyways, DBS is mostly about seeling stuff, so even if it will have poor ratings, but still sells merchandise it wont be canceled.

Nothing's changed since the beginning of super. You guys expect too much. Besides it's in the top 10 of all anime since it's conception, it's ratings are great.

One time it reached 2nd place, OP was in the first place.

[Sodhi]

I don't see it. Unless you are talking about DVR ratings, then DBS even reached 1st place. Info is on the first page of this thread.

[Lord Beerus]

Good rating. I hope that the ratings continue upwards slightly, but with how unpredictable the TV viewers can be, nothing is guaranteed.
