Those numbers are okay you guys.
The first night really doesn't mean that much. We were like 5 weeks into a new lineup when we got our first quadmillion.

Shhhhh
No logic, only panic reactions
Like discussing npd sales
I don't want them to take away the extra 30 minutes. It'll mean we failed them.
Its not the "savior of anime" but the idea of a world premier airing first before Japan could and should have done better. It was the highest rated show on the block and hopefully will continue to do so but its easy to be disappointed that more anime fans didn't come out to support.
I know it might seem unrealistic but this...
is another reason I thought it would have done better. 11:30 is super early. For that reason alone it should have done better than the regular Toonami line-up. Maybe I overestimated the effect of an earlier timeslot. Maybe people really do just love repeats of Family Guy and other crap.

Let's just wait and see before we get worried about losing the slot, Space Dandy was the highest rated show on the block and if it continues to do so that may warrant the spot being kept by Toonami. As we've noted before they could easily cut all anime and just make 6 hours of family guy reruns and have higher ratings, but they let toonami stay to bring in a different audience
Being the highest rated show on the block doesn't mean much when the number isn't that high.

The series premiere of Space Dandy (11:30 p.m.) ranked #1 in its time period with men 18-24 & 18-34.
Dandy was being hyped up across the internet and given a moderate marketing push yet still failed to pull in what Bleach generally averages. Numbers were down across the board and it's only week one but there is certainly reason to be on edge. It needs higher ratings to justify being in the 11:30 spot if you ask me.But it's not a gigantic drop, if fg and boondocks had done like 2.2 and 1.8 then dandy was at 1.1 it be a bigger reason to panic. 1.7 -> 1.4 -> 1.1 really isn't that horrible of a drop.
This is probably most important.

I'm not biased at all, just stating an opinion backed up with sound reasoning and facts. What do I care if Bleach has higher ratings than Space Dandy? I want the block to be successful period, I don't play favorites and believe it's unfair to draw that conclusion based off of what I've said.I imagine if we outright swapped bleach and dandy there numbers would stay pretty consistent. I think you're being overly critical and maybe slightly bias as bleach is your favorite show and you were luke warm on dandy. What you're saying may come to pass, buts its a bit early to make that kind of call.

The Saturday night NFL game was the highest rated Saturday night game ever, doing a 19.1 and 34 million plus viewers, and didn't end until about 11:30. That had to hurt Dandy this week.
well I guess toonami is doomed then
can we still have these topics if toonami goes under?

Oh. I didn't know that. Certainly could have affected the ratings. I feel a teensy bit better no.
See? How could Naruto at a later time slot have done better than an 11:30 world premiere? Now i'm back to worrying.Just for reference, the comparable numbers for last year.
We'll just call ourselves "SaturdayNightAnimeGAF" instead. Doesn't quite roll of the tongue though.well I guess toonami is doomed then

The Saints-Eagles game ended around 11:15

People watch the post-game analysis, right? ;_;

Guys dont worry; Inuyasha ALWAYS does well in ratings.

Yes but it was a big game, people could very well have been watching with friends or at a bar. Besides unlike every other new show we've gotten Dandy had no real word of mouth. I have no doubt it will do better as time passes, especially if the show is good. Let's give it a few weeks before we actually panic. I mean remember how SAO kept doing well until everyone figured out it was crap?
Last year's NFL game (same day as the ratings I posted) was Vikings @ Packers, if anyone cares to compare team significance.
I should probably get around to watching that first episode of Space Dandy, huh
Maybe tomorrow.
Those were the only two times it broke 1M, correct? Since then SAO has steadily declined to the 750-800K range.Sword Art Online's best two ratings were episode 3 and 4.
That's the Sachi episode and the Silica episode.
lol

I will never forget the guild murder episode though. So many good reactions, haha!
Before we analyze every number and draw every conclusion, remember what DeMarco always says about ratings: One night isn't ever indicative of failure or success; ratings are a long-term game. If Space Dandy is still doing consistently mediocre to okay ratings five to six weeks from now, that's probably when it's time to start expecting to lose the 11:30 slot.
Or not. I don't know anything about this industry.
And for that I will be eternally grateful.
I think the real question is if Toonami themselves see that as a success which they could given their expectations seem to be a tad lower.

I need you guys to reassure me that Shippiden's pacing gets better.
Please.
I think the biggest issue is that Adult Swim has no reason not to put Family Guy back at 11:30 when Space Dandy is over.
