CN/AS Ratings - November
Bodhi Woodstock
CN -
Naruto continues to be one of the most watched shows on the network. It
placed #3 and #4 and a few other times on the top shows list.
Zatch Bell and One Piece are also doing good. Not Naruto good, but
they're definitely watched by a lot of people.
YGO GX is falling from grace. IGPX tanked and tanked HARD. Bobobo also
tanked.
In other CN ratings, the new Scooby Doo movie didn't do as well as
expected, Foster's Home is doing very well as is Teen Titans, and live
action movies were a huge success (Who Framed Roger Rabbit? was the
most watched program all month).
AS -
Inuyasha is still the most watched anime.
The rest of the anime fell a lot, and were even beaten or matched by 2
AM and 2:30 AM weekday programs. FMA bested at #72, Champloo at #101,
and Neon Genesis Evangelion at #109. No sign of Scryed.
As for the rest of AS, The Boondocks did great, Family Guy took all top
10 slots, 12 Oz. Mouse and Stroker and Hoop both made comebacks. Robot
Chicken is on the decline.

Imagine my shock.
I do feel kinda bad for Cartoon Network about IGPX though. They invested
what, six years and God only knows how much money in this thing, and it was
supposed to be their great big huge holy-cow opus...and nobody cares. That'd
take the wind out of anyone's sails.

I just hope they don't continue with the live-action movies thing. It was
fine for sweeps, but let's keep it to sweeps.... >.>

I'm amazed anyone watches 12 Oz. Mouse. I'm not surprised Boondocks did
well, but I am kind of wondering how Family Guy is pulling in consistent
catch-all ratings...sure, there's new episodes airing, but...

I watch it when I get the chance, and it's okay. Breaking away from the
manga allows them to fix the original anime's two biggest problems:
overlong, padded-out plotlines and the ridiculously overblown dialogue that
was also a way of padding out the plotlines. Now, they still have some
trouble coming up with good stories, but they're improving. The
fight-of-the-day episodes move quickly and are generally interesting,
occasionally more so. The fight with the tomboy who played the Young Maiden
in Love was hilarious.

I think IGPX is pretty interesting. Can't tell you why, I just like it. The
most common complaint against it seems to be that not much happens. This is
generally true, the race against Edgeraid was the only one with decent
action, but I like the character drama we get between the races. The strange
thing is, I probably shouldn't... the plotlines are genrally silly, cliche,
or silly cliches. For some reason, though, I think it works. It's very
low-key and realistic- these people behave like you'd expect real people to
behave in the same circumstances. By contrast, I think a lot of anime are
naturalistic- you'll get characters that go into super-deformed mode or
sweatdrop when nervous, and those are a visual representation of their state
of mind. IGPX seems to prefer telling it like it is, so to speak. Plus,
they've got great production values, including good music and one of the
best cast lists I've ever seen. I'll keep watching it as long as it airs.

Just out of curiousity, and I'm not disputing any of what you're saying
about it doing very well by CN standards, but if Naruto is really doing
so well, why hasn't it been showing up in the weekly top 30 of any of
the juvenile Nielsen demographic splits since scratching the bottom of
the 9-14 list a couple of times in mid-September (when most shows were
still in reruns)?
Is Nickelodeon's dominance of the "Younger Viewers" categories so
strong that even the best performing shows on CN will be shut out of
the demographic split top 30s most weeks?
(N.B. I get my top 30 ratings info from Media Life Magazine's online
site @ http://medialifemagazine.com; most recent Younger Viewers
ratings lists:
http://medialifemagazine.com/artman/publish/article_1882.asp )

Despite the recent ADV-fueled business magazine hype, could this be
another nail in the coffin of the Live-Action EVANGELION Movie project,
that even Adult Swim viewers don't seem to be tuning in to the animated
version in any great numbers?

Because it's getting a mixture of kids, teens, and adults. Plus,
Nickelodeon usually dominates the juvenile demographics, and
Nickelodeon's total audience is almost double what CN's is. Nickelodeon
is almost always the #1 network on cable (I say almost because if
there's a big game or a natural disaster then ESPN or Fox News takes
#1). To further show how big Nickelodeon's audience is, they have more
adults watching them than Comedy Central, ABC Family, FX, and sometimes
MTV.
And just when it comes to kids, Nickelodeon's kid audience is double
that of CN's.

As mentioned above, it's EXTREMELY strong. Over 5 million kids age 2-14
tuned in to see the Spongebob episode "Have You Seen My Snail?" That's
about 12% of all kids in the USA that age.

I'm surprised that project was greenlit.

Even so. it is very good to see that FMA is *still* the highest-rated
anime series on [adult swim]. It helps that the first-run FMA episodes
have had the luxury of being in an early timeslot (11, 11:30, or
midnight Eastern on the Saturday showings) when more people will be
watching.

No. Mostly Eva gets the ratings it gets because it's in a lousy
timeslot, it doesn't get any promotion on TV outside of [adult swim],
and half the anime fandom has seen the entire series at least once.
Y'know, maybe it would really REALLY help the anime series if [adult
swim] would get their heads out of their asses and PROMOTE the anime
series more often -- and avoid cross-promoting the comedy lineup during
the anime series. Why a promo for Stroker & Hoop is in the middle of a
good anime like FMA just boggles the mind. And not just commercials too
-- voiceovers during the EDs. Considering the EDs are shortened for
time anyway, why not have one of the voice actors reminding us during
the ED of the timeslot and what's coming up next, and any upcoming
schedule changes. They still do voiceovers during the EDs of the
dayside shows, why not the nightside.

I don't know about all that, Cowboy Bebops ratings actually kept
going up when it was repeated for years and years. Eva just dosen't
have the staying power, also the live action movie has been dead for
years, YEARS! Eva was a big deal for a few years, but the problem
with Eva was it mainly attracted casual anime fans while a lot of hardcore
fans kind of thought it was overrated, the casual fans have moved on
to the next big hype show and have long forgotten Eva. ADV should have
acted on making a live action Eva in 1999-2001.
