The fact that the average over 3 hours is just barely at a million with such a massive drop to the next timeslot means that the opening hour blew away a million EASILY.

A decay along the lines of

1.35
1.1
1.0
.9
.8
.7

is an average viewership of 975,000. Akira beat that.

That last half hour might have even been worse since it had nearly 20 minutes of credits and commercials, which means the front end numbers could have been even higher.



Just FYI, the average for 11/9/13 (the first I could come across), which had the 6 opening half hours as

1.344
1.178
.908
.838
.809
.772

came out to 974,833.

What would we ever do without you, Meta?

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Akira did very damn good. I think it managed to beat Eva 1.11's ratings.

I'm kind of worried about how Summer Wars will do. I don't think it will hold viewers as well as Akira did.


On a different topic, I found this fan list of the Greatest Voice Actors.

Jim Cummings and Billy West are too low. >:U

So all we are waiting for is one more announcement for which show will replace SAO? Isn't blue ex taking over soul eaters slot? I can't really think of another new 25/26 episode show that could be announced besides titan.

 

[Seda]

Fullmetal is ending soon, but I could see it rerunning, or they might throw Symbionic back in or something along those lines.

Blue Exorcist is coming in March, so it seems to be Soul Eater's replacement, yes.

SAO ends in February, but we havent heard anything about a new show in February other than Samurai Jack, which Demarco said outright is replacing FLCL.

Sweet, if it isn't titan than I will be very shocked.

Actually I'm calling it titan is going to be the next show. Even willing to do a tag bet or something of the sort.

I had no idea Laura Bailey was smoking hot. Damn.

 

[Mature]

I had no idea Laura Bailey was smoking hot. Damn.

I've had a crush on Laura Bailey since I was like 14 (starting with her voice as Tohru Honda).

 

[Schadenfreude]

I had no idea Laura Bailey was smoking hot. Damn.

There's a reason she played Lust in FMA.

 

[Raxus]

I just want to say fox. Reading your impressions in the Hunter x Hunter thread have been a delight. I can't wait until you catch up.

 

[kayos90]

I actually imagine Blue Exorcist replacing SAO since they're both Aniplex. I know SAO finishes in February but it might be pushed back? Idk.

 

[Man God]

It's a two week difference.

 

[mhs004]

I know this is of topic but I got an email from my professor telling me she wanted to meet after class. The class got cancelled and I was scared it was about my paper tomorrow being bad or doing the citing wrong. I was nervous all day but she finally emailed me back after I asked what's up. She just wanted to tell me about how impressed she was with me and how I was one of her best students she's ever had lol.

Got stressed all day for nothing haha
Also proves stoners can be good students if they try and learn when to say no and study.

 

[Levyne]

Ha. That's always the best kind of surprise! I hate when my adviser calls me it's basically anyone's guess whether the news is good or bad.

Yea whenever I get emails for meetings with my professors or advisers I get nervous.

My only problem with this reveal is.

Spoiler

Where the hell was he when ace was in prison and fixing to be killed. If he was training or some something of the sort then I will call it BS on oda's part. If he was in a comma or something I may understand but will still have a problem with it. That whole arc was the perfect time to reveal he was alive.

Less shocking than finding out Inuyasha likes Kagome.

Hold on a minute, WHAT

 

[thetechkid]

Hold on a minute, WHAT

To add to the plot, Moroku also likes Sango.

 

[Levyne]

gotta get some spoiler bars up in here

 

[foxuzamaki]

[Moaradin]

Holy shit these One Piece spoilers.

 

[MikeMyers]

Incorrect. Inuyasha loves Kikyo, Kagome loves Inuyasha.

 

[thetechkid]

Incorrect. Inuyasha loves Kikyo, Kagome loves Inuyasha.

But.....Kagome is Kikyo's reincarnation!

 

[MikeMyers]

But if Naraku's heart lusts for Kikyo, and Kagome is her incarnation, why doesn't he love Kagome?

 

[Doctor Decimate]

But.....Kagome is Kikyo's reincarnation!

i hate this gif so much ;-;

 

[thetechkid]

i hate this gif so much ;-;

But if Naraku's heart lusts for Kikyo, and Kagome is her incarnation, why doesn't he love Kagome?

Because while Inuyasha will settle for the next best thing, Naraku gotta have the original.

 

[foxuzamaki]

naraku likes his ladies mature

 

[BassForever]

naraku likes his ladies mature

Aren't Kikyo and Kagome both 15?

 

[Man God]

naraku likes his ladies smelling of corpses and graveyard soil.

.

 

[MikeMyers]

Aren't Kikyo and Kagome both 15?

Kikyo is 18, Naraku ain't into underage girls.

VERSUS

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEWF2xh5E8s

Also Kikiyo is 68 and dead.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

graveyard soil

 

[MikeMyers]

The Inuyasha theme is better, but I'm biased...

...also we never see Kikyo in the hot springs unlike Kagome and Sango. So its safe to say she smells.

 

[Man God]

Blame yourself or God Viz's sometimes too literal translation.

 

[MikeMyers]

If Naraku came to the modern world, he'd ask Sota for woman advice.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Blame yourself or God Viz's sometimes too literal translation.

Naraku's Poisonous Insects!

 

[Man God]

Naraku's Poisonous Insects!

It's either that or have them called Saimyōshō the entire time.

Another fun one is that they localize the Shikon jewel a few times in the very early episodes(Jewel of Four Souls) and then completely forget about it later.

 

[MikeMyers]

LORD SESSHOMARU is like over 500 years old.

 

[Man God]

He's alive though.

i think the first time they've actually said "Saimyōshō" was a month or two ago, and now it just seems to depend on the episode.

Did Shippo ever find a lady friend anime or manga? Everyone else seems to have an otp waiting at the end of the story minus Sango's little bro who got friend zoned before he even knew what happened

 

[MikeMyers]

He has a few flings in filler, but nothing really noticable.

 

[Man God]

No permanent ones but honestly shippo has the most game in the entire series (not the best game, that's saved for our boy Sota) because he gets various young ladies all the damn time in the series.

 

[MikeMyers]

In Miroku's debut episode Kagome goes to the hot spring and Shippo trolls Inuyasha for not trying to go in the spring with her.

 

[Man God]

My favorite non modern day episode is the one with Shippo and the crayons.
