Toonami |OT3| Sleep is for the Week

It probably did in the beginning (for the first hour or so, I'm guessing), but it did run from 1 to 3:30 so a drop off was to be expected.
Post for new page.
Yeah, with it being an average over the whole block, and the rating still being that high, I'd say at a million for the first hour. I'd like to see the time slot breakdown for it though.

i had to do the calculating myself. the number for the 18-49 is a percentage that is given on the page, and that is multiplied by Nielsen's estimate of the number of adults aged 18-49 living in a house with a television, which is 126,540,000. that gives you the number of 18-49 viewers, so i dunno. i'd say it's a legit number. i rounded a bit, but otherwise that's the way you're supposed to get the number.
It is easy to forget that Bleach was actually something worthwile once upon a time.
The lead-in to Fullmetal gives you an indication of where Eva's lowest numbers after 3 am likely were, and the near 100% retention rate for Naruto suggests that everybody showed up last night waiting for Eva. It wouldn't shock me if 1-1:30 was the highest rated half hour of the night.
By the way, 600k in demo viewers is EXTREMELY high for the block. I can only recall Inuyasha, FMA, Samurai Champloo's debut, and Bleach ever breaking that barrier (and only Inu and FMA ever beating 700).
So if those numbers are even close to right, the block is extraordinarily healthy and running close to double what it was a year ago.

Blackstar comes from a fucked up world where people encourage kids to mouth off when they ain't all that and that taking Winstrol and HGH is cool.
You mean...he comes from the Internet?

Aw, Evangelion had a little bit of a low value?
It must've started with high numbers and got ruined later.

I would say based on the number it posted and what FMA:B had after, it did quite well overall.

considering there was no promotion up until the day before, how movies typically do on AS, and that Evangelion the series failed when they aired it, the movie did very well. not to mention it ended at like 3:30. people DO go to to bed.
New promo? New promo.
I second that being OT4's title.
I thought it was sitting in your room on Gaf?

It was too good NOT to be the title.

btw, what's the difference between the red text and the plain bold text?
Dark Naruto lost two teammates. It is going to be ages before he runs out of X-Factor.
Weakest episode of SBT is tonight.
We will continue to dive into the madness that is GXP which has become such a train wreck I don't think I, nor anyone else, can look away.
Speaking of train wrecks, Thundercats.
E7 has finally gotten good, I hope it keeps up.
STEIN, that is all.
Best FMA:B episode is tonight.

New addition, returning, series premiere/finale. Bold is just a new episode.

Tonight's FMA is really good.
Plus the intro of stein.
Not bad

Definitely one of the most memorable episodes.
Do me a big favor MetatronM and make a new color for when Tenchi goes off the air because it will be something that qualifies less as an event and more of a 'yay you survived' type of thing.

So this when Mustang starts
?
going HAM on Homunculi
Yes.
How does the
lighter still work though? After the earlier scene, Havoc can't get it to light.
He doesn't need it to light, just to spark. That's how his normal ignition gloves work, too.

Yussss. Staying up for that.
I'm not quite sure, my first guess was
he only needed a few bare sparks for it to go

So I just marathoned NGE (including End of) this week after watching the movie.
That was...interesting.
Spoilers since I know people here may not have seen it, based on movie night comments:
Sorry for the wall of black text.
Oh, and Team Azuka.

Spoilers since I know people here may not have seen it, based on movie night comments:
I was expecting more batshit insane stuff right off the bat, so I was surprised to see it starts as a show that wasn't as out there as I thought.
But then Eva 01 starts acting like an animal and eating other robots and I was quite disturbed.
From there, we're off the rails - it's funny how the thing that truly made me feel the characters are on the road to nowhere was Ritsuko snapping. I get that they are all flawed, but I didn't expect that from her, at least, not until her backstory was filled out, and even then....
The infamous final two episodes - well, I can see how you would be quite pissed as a viewer. But when you pair them with EOE, I like to think they complement each other, and both are the true ending - basically, if they had the money, the end of the TV series would have been closer to EOE.
I also found the story to be far more personal than I thought, and all the religious stuff to be basically window dressing. Shinji's still the most punchable protagonist I've ever seen, but you relate to the guy. I can see why people get frustrated with him - you watch a show like that so you can live vicariously through the hero - not to see someone you is just as screwed up as you in dealing with the world.
That said, I'm curious to see how Rebuild takes the story in a different direction, considering 1.11 was almost a shot for shot remake at times of the first batch of TV episodes.

Full Ratings
Nice numbers. I'd like to see EVA's breakdrown though.
ratings dropped by 237,000 when the Eva Movie aired.
