We have actually done really good. Last time we were in 5th place was when the rating of episode 5 came out. So it has been a long time.irreality wrote:I guess everyone was low, but our standings were fine. Probably due to Silver week. I wonder if DVR ratings will be high (although since ratings are relative, it is possible everything will be equally high in DVR).

It's the lowest ratings yet but it looks like a lot of them fell quite a bit due to the holiday so nothing to worry about. I hope it gets back above a 6.0 soon though, maybe next week.
Re: Dragon Ball Super: TV Ratings Discussion Thread
Well, our ratings vary depending on what shows are on that week. It is good to be back above Yokai Watch (yes!), but normally our ratings vary depending on whether Doraemon and Crayon shin chan are on that week.Sodhi wrote:We have actually done really good.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: TV Ratings Discussion Thread
Ratings suffered due to the holiday, which was bound to happen. We'll bounce back next week.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: TV Ratings Discussion Thread
I think the ratings will increase a bit in the F arc, and increase drastically once U6 comes around.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: TV Ratings Discussion Thread
What is "Thunderbird ARE GO!!"?
I'm guessing Specter Watch is Yokai Watch.

Apparently some british/new zeland series: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbi ... TV_series)
Re: Dragon Ball Super: TV Ratings Discussion Thread
You've never heard of Thunderbirds? It's the one with the puppets. They even did that crappy live action movie. They did a new series would never have thought it would have done well in Japan.
So DB Super hits yet another new low. Was it still a holiday?

I've heard of Thunderbirds, but I didn't know it was related to this "ARE GO!" series (or that there was a new series of it).Bullza wrote:You've never heard of Thunderbirds?

As much as I worry for Super, it still has Uni 6 to turn things around.
EDIT: Just read Precure's not doing as bad as I thought, merch-wise. Good for them.

According to the website it was still a holiday. It should be back to normal by next week.Bullza wrote:You've never heard of Thunderbirds? It's the one with the puppets. They even did that crappy live action movie. They did a new series would never have thought it would have done well in Japan.

The series has a big fanbase over there. They even had a anime TV series back in the 80's.Bullza wrote:You've never heard of Thunderbirds? It's the one with the puppets. They even did that crappy live action movie. They did a new series would never have thought it would have done well in Japan.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: TV Ratings Discussion Thread
Were these the ratings for episode 11 or 12? I'm quite surprised how low the ratings are when it's such a big part either way.
Re: Dragon Ball Super: TV Ratings Discussion Thread
Yokai Watch, One Piece,Detective Conan, Arlan Senki and Gintama were all ahead of us. No comeback this week, just up a place.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: TV Ratings Discussion Thread
Don't worry, guys, Super isn't going anywhere anytime soon. RoF did extremely well and Bandai Namco got a lot of money from Xenoverse and they are main sponsor of the show, so... Even GT lasted 64 episodes.
Re: Dragon Ball Super: TV Ratings Discussion Thread
Super 12 would be #5, if not for the Thunderbirds are Go double premiere on NHK getting a lot of attention. I don't think cartoons should be included in the ranking, but either way, that should go down very quickly.
2 - One Piece
3 - Conan
4 - Arslan Senki
5 - Gintama
6 - Dragon Ball Super
7 - Kamen Rider Drive
8 - Laplace
9 - Anpanman
10 - Naruto Shippuuden
Super scored the series' average, the thing is that Arslan (nearing the climax) and Gintama were higher than usual. The most interesting thing this week is the return of Naruto, i hadn't seen it ranking anywhere in a long, long while.
KR Drive had a great week, probably thanks to the fact it was the last episode, not counting the epilogue that just aired. Laplace also ended that week.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: TV Ratings Discussion Thread
I havent watched it but I believe Naruto is nearing the ending.
Check out Journey's End, a short story of Goku and Vegeta's final days. "Time is running out for the last two Saiyans"
Re: Dragon Ball Super: TV Ratings Discussion Thread
It's in a filler arc right now, so that couldn't be it. I don't understand why it got good ratings.

Re: Dragon Ball Super: TV Ratings Discussion Thread
Maybe there was some canon material in that Naruto episode.
Its really rare to see Naruto in these rankings.

A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Not any time soon. Naruto Shippuuden's next two cours will be focused on an original story arc before switching back to the main storyline of Team 7 versus Kaguya.soulnova wrote:I havent watched it but I believe Naruto is nearing the ending.
