Dragon Ball Super: TV Ratings Discussion Thread

[Baggie_Saiyan]

Very weak rating. I guess what was advertised in the NEP wasn't enough to entice viewers to tune in droves for the next episode.

58 did really well though. I guess maybe post-57 a lot of kids were interested to see what would happen next, that episode being literally all talking and given the NEP for 59 looked more of the same yeah it is really not surprising, I mean that explains why NEP's have been misleading in the past such as Goku vs Black R1 when it turned out to be the episode after, wouldn't be terribly surprised if they pulled something cheeky here again with this Vegeta vs Black thing.

I hope Shippuden makes it to the top 10 this week. The Naruto v Sasuke fight is being hyped as hell. Super excited for that fight.

On topic, not a bad rating for Super considering how boring #59 was.

Boring?? It was a really good episode, that Beerus moment was so cool

It bored me. If you enjoyed it cool

Very low ratings by one piece and DBS. Plus wtf is Time bokan 24?. Even with the poor ratings, still in top 6 though, which is our usual place. Oh and also, monster hunter anime, which is DBS lead in debuted this week. First episode was pretty bad.

Super is usually 7th, so it actually went up a spot. Plus, every anime after Super took a major drive. One Piece was also low this week. Usually, it's in the low 7s.

Plus wtf is Time bokan 24?

It's a reboot of a 70s anime called Time Bokan. In the original story, a scientist creates a time machine and decides to test it himself, just to disapear in the middle of spacetime. The only things to go back to present are his parrot and some sort of gemstone. Then, a group of people use the time machine to search for the scientist. While in the past, they meet historical people and fight (in their time machines, apparently) another group of time travelers who seek to gather those gemstones. It's basically Time Squad meets Power Rangers. lol

Not sure if this reboot uses the same premise, though...

So the episode of the Black's identity reveal got the lowest rating of this arc... Looks like it's flopping and sadly I can't say it surprises me. The pacing could be much better and it's getting repetitive.

[Bullza]

That's the lowest I've ever seen One Piece. Was there something on another channel?

Detective Conan is unusually high too.

Important footnote: It's always in top ten rankings. A flopping product, it is not. I'm sure other programs would be delighted to have the retention Dragon Ball Super has. Consider perspective.

Exactly plus as Sodhi said Fuji'tvs new anime didn't even make the list. Not to mention rarings have a tendency to fluctuate anyway next week could be in the 7.0's.

I'm really surprised that the Monster Hunter anime didn't crack into the top 10 considering how incredibly popular the games are in Japan. Super and One Piece doing so poorly really caught me off guard. Even more so for One Piece.

I think the Japanese audience are starting to realise that nothing exciting is going to happen in this arc after constant boredom. The universe 6 vs 7 tournament in comparison is way more exciting.

I liked the mystery of this Black arc myself, but it really fell flat on his face by having it turn out to be yet another Zamasu. I wasn't much a fan of the tourney other than it introducing cool new characters, It just seems to predictable where everyone is so strong now a days.

[Bullza]

Bit of a gloom and doom vibe going on here.

The ratings are fine. If it had a 5.0% while One Piece had a 8.0% or something then that'd be one thing. If it was down to 8th or 9th then that'd be another thing.

The ratings of both One Piece and Dragon Ball Super rise and fall together so it's not a problem with just Super as long as One Piece is low too and it is. So like I said maybe something was on another channel this week.

I'm not really surprised, as both characters' motivations seem paper thin and as one dimensional as you can get. They are also hard to relate to and I think more and more people are just not caring beyond the fact that "Oh, it's "Dark Goku" so it's no surprise that people just didn't care. Zamasu was a massive failure on Toei's part how he was "developed" and written.

We're nothing watching the same show. Zamasu is anything but an one dimensional character.
Dude, you're hating Super since day one. Now you have come back after being temporarily banned, and you still don't say anything worth reading.

If Zamasu is a failure, I wonder what all the other villains we had in the past are.
You could tell us your reasons why you think that at least, even though I doubt I will find them convincing.

[DBZ_Lee]

5.0 is a decent rating. One Piece did 6.6, so that's about where I'd expect Super to be.
6th place is a good result, comfortable top 10 as always, no sign of Monster Hunter? interesting.

I find it funny that if there's anything that doesn't agree with your constant fanboy orgasms like "OMG best episode of the franchise so far" (which I have to admit truly are "not worth reading") and such you go on the offensive like some kind of religious zealot that can't comprehend anything outside of your own bias.

Take every scene with Zamasu and literally string them together and you'll see just another bland, one dimensional character. Even his relationship with Gowasu (another wasted character) is superficial, there is literally nothing to relate to as an audience member between the two. We're just supposed to accept that Zamasu hates humanity and seeing things like a bunch of dodobird barbarians club each other to death has this huge impact on his ideals. or reinforces them, or whatever. T I can't even tell what his convictions are on top of it all being absolutely one note. You can take other characters such as Yagami Light, Sasuke, hell even Frieza, and relate to why it is what they're doing and see their descent into what makes them ultimately a villain.

Black is just like "Dark Zero" from the X series. Superficial, bland, not much substance, and on top of this parading around this "I hate humanity" bullshit despite really having no reason for it other than "Well, they fight and stuff so.." Neither of them have been personally impacted by anything related to their superficial hatred. One thing Black does have going for him is that his costume does look cool...

Zamasu is a failure, in my eyes, because he is wasted opportunity. He was supposed to be Dragonball's first really developed, complex villain and was just written in this linear "Oh, because he's evil" fashion.

I was just offering my opinion on why the ratings would be so low before you decided to be a broody little fangirl. I only "hate" on Super because being a huge fan of it's predecessors, I am very critical of the mediocre direction its taking and the 7 year olds like you who are eating it up. Also, this is the 2nd time today you've derailed a topic because you decided to act immaturely.

Maybe you should take your own advice, aka "If you don't like it, don't watch it" - if you don't like any post that orgasms over Super's mediocrity like yours, then don't read it.

[Doctor.]

Zamasu is not a one-dimensional character, most characters in Dragon Ball are not. You abusing the term just means that you have no idea what it means.

Zamasu is, indeed, shallow, but every villain in this series is. No exception.

We can argue about that, but don't tell me I don't know what the word means. He has not grown since day 1 and we can argue about it in another thread. And yes every other villain was shallow, but he wasn't supposed to be - this was the first time we've actually gotten to see a villain develop over time. Well, in theory anyway.

[Gyt Kaliba]

Literally every villain in the series is 'evil because they're evil'. Everything you're critiquing Zamasu for is absolutely true of every villain we've had before, so while I can understand disappointment if you'd been hoping for 'more' out of his character, that shouldn't equal this level of discontent.

I'm seriously curious here - have you ever posted anything positive, at all? I'm struggling to recall you ever posting anything about something you liked. And I don't mean Super, I mean Dragon Ball in general. Literally everything I can think of from you has been about how 'awful' something is. Why you would want to live your life steeped in nothing but negativity, is beyond me.
