ooh... is rule of thirds for real? I never heard that one!

if the Aqua Teen movie is a success we'll get all anime saturdays with whatever shows we vote for? :eek: I don't believe it

[Neo Ultra Mike]

I doubt AS is really serious at all with the threat about getting rid of ASA anime but I wonder if they're even semi serious about the promise of getting enough people to see the ATHF movie and they'll play and anime you voted for. Would be a good reason to see it anyway. And to you anime fans: There's a Paprika trailer attached to it so you know another reason to see it anyway.

[Rolling Cloud]

Anime We Vote For?????

HOLY SH**!!! Please let the ATHF movie be a success!!

[Kiryu]

Hmm the closest theater showing ATHF movie is an hour away, but if they'd really get rid of Saturday comedy (die oblongs!) and let us vote on whatever anime we'd like, it'd be worth the drive. Although knowing AS they're probably just full of crap like usual :sweat: But ohhh the possibilities!

[Zach Logan]

Anime We Vote For?????

HOLY SH**!!! Please let the ATHF movie be a success!!

It was #13 at the box office.

[livingfruitvirus]

And to you anime fans: There's a Paprika trailer attached to it so you know another reason to see it anyway.

I didn't get a Paprika trailer at the theater I went to.

[Rabi~en~Rose]

I'd go see it if it was in a theatre near me :crying:

on a unrelated note why did Futurama never have a two or more parter episodes? :confused:


It was #13 at the box office.

and it opened on friday the 13th! thats a little creepy :crying:

[Master Moltar]

I doubt they were serious in their bump about Saturdays and the ATHF movie, but I brought the idea up of letting fans vote for what anime [as] should air for the 1 AM hour a long while ago on their boards. I still think its a pretty neat idea.

And their Upfront is on April 26th.

move down! :mad: why was Futurama so low last week :confused:




Did you happen to catch all the show rankings too (also didn't 3 weeks of numbers air)?

yeah I thought it was 3 weeks but my vcr barely got April 1st so :( lfv with the save?


yuck 30 new episodes of T & E confirmed :( :( :(

[Master Moltar]

Looks like Tim and Eric and Saul improve by the week...oh well. Woo live-action.

Did you happen to catch all the show rankings too (also didn't 3 weeks of numbers air)?

[Rolling Cloud]

It was #13 at the box office.

That's not good. Higher, Higher!!

[Beat]

Looks like Tim and Eric are about on par with Bleach all things considered. Makes SwimTorrent's efforts at defending them (Tim and Eric are UBER-POPULAR! #1 ON FIX!) were a little...overstated.

[Ahiru-kun]

I surely didn't expect T&E and Saul to be doing this well. Looks like live action is here to stay.

[livingfruitvirus]

Looks like Tim and Eric are about on par with Bleach all things considered. Makes SwimTorrent's efforts at defending them (Tim and Eric are UBER-POPULAR! #1 ON FIX!) were a little...overstated.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were number 1 on the Fix, considering Tim and Eric have an impressive internet following and have been one of three shows premiering over the past 10 weeks on the Fix, and Bleach isn't streamed.

[The Myst]

Does anybody know the production cost for one episode of T&E?

[D Dubbs]

Anime We Vote For?????

HOLY SH**!!! Please let the ATHF movie be a success!!

Remember that we are dealing with Adult Swim. You should only believe about half of what their bumps say. Though it would be pretty cool to be able vote for anime.


It was #13 at the box office.

Don't be so negative. It actually did well for per-theater average and has made at least four times the amount of money it took to produce.

[Beat]

It's been the only show premiering for a while. So technically, it would be #1, because everyone who shows up on the Fix sees it first whether they want to or not which is a rather brilliant piece of advertising. Popularity wise on TV, they seem pretty much equal with Bleach, and both shows have a rather loud internet fanbase.

Why isn't Bleach on the fix anyway? Licensing issues with Viz?

[Discloner]

Why isn't Bleach on the fix anyway? Licensing issues with Viz?If that's the case, that'd be bizarre considering Viz and CN's deal with Jetstream.

[D Dubbs]

Why isn't Bleach on the fix anyway? Licensing issues with Viz?

Doubtful, seeing that 75% of Toonami Jestream's content belongs to Viz. Adult Swim likes to keep some shows TV premiere only. Most recently for comedy would be the premiers of Moral Oral (but they did arrive on the Fix later).

But Inuyasha doesn't stream either, so it's quite selective on Viz's part. Blood+ also doesn't stream. The only anime streaming on the Fix are licensed by Geneon, Bandai, or FUNimation.

If Inu-Yasha was on the Fix, the AS servers would overload.

Well, it did take FMA quite a while to make it's way on. Unfortunately, since it doesn't seem to be doing well right now on the Fix, I can't blame AS for not adding more anime.

[Rabi~en~Rose]

do we dare dream of perfect ratings forever?


Saturday, April 7th


Bleach: 418,000
Blood+: 388,000
Oblongs: 356,000

neat


New: Bleach, Blood+, Oblongs

[Master Moltar]

Good numbers all around. Oblongs re-appears, and Bleach and Blood+ did very well.

[Kiryu]

Glad to see Bleach above Oblongs/Boondocks. Also good to see its not that far behind some of the recent T&E/Saul episodes.

Dang just when I thought Family Guy surely couldn't get much higher, and that's got to be one of the highest ATHF ratings in a long time isn't it?

[Rabi~en~Rose]

Sunday, April 8th


Family Guy (11:00): 1,551,000
ATHF: 864,000
Family Guy: 862,000

whats wrong 10:30 F-Guy? can't keep up?


Up: Family Guy (11:00), ATHF, Family Guy

[TnAdct1]

Don't be so negative. It actually did well for per-theater average and has made at least four times the amount of money it took to produce. Also keep in mind that the ATHF movie was playing in only 800 theaters, which suggests that the film may have made more (and possibly broke into the top 10) if it was playing in more locations.

[Ahiru-kun]

Well last week's are interesting. The Oblongs beat out the Boondocks and ATHF beat out one of the Family Guy showings which. Wonder where all the Futurama viewers are.

[Beat]

Sat's ratings reinforce the Bleach = Tim And Eric in relative popularity theory. To be fair, nothing WS original or anime (except for Aqua Teen because of the movie) has a chance because of the Family Guy juggernaut.

Promos with Tim and Eric weirdness alongside Bleach to advertise the different facets of Adult Swim (Orihime/Married News comparison FTW) might be the best thing ever...if Bleach got ads.

Also, it looks like Boondocks reruns...aren't very popular.

[Master Moltar]

Something must have been going on for Futurama to draw so poorly last week. By the way, the Sunday rankings bump airs before Tim and Eric, so if anyone catches the rerun later tonight, could they grab the rankings for March 25th?

ATHF beating out a showing of Family Guy is interesting. It seems like the casuals only watch one showing on [as]. Oblongs outperforming Boondocks is also kinda interesting. Yeah, Boondocks is weak in reruns, but still, it usually can at least make the Top 3.

[The Collector]

The way I see it, AS has three options in regards to Saturday's schedule. Either return it to an all anime night, put Futurama back in the lead-in spot, or try some different shows in the first half hour slot(instead of a full hour). The combination of the Oblongs and Boondocks is not helping the ratings at all it seems, I mean, has either of those two shows been number one since they started on Saturday?

[Master Moron]

Sat's ratings reinforce the Bleach = Tim And Eric in relative popularity theory.

Well, Tim and Eric get about 100,000 more viewers than Bleach, so they're not exactly equal. Though, it's not really fair to compare Saturday numbers to Sunday numbers.


Something must have been going on for Futurama to draw so poorly last week.

Something's going on? You mean besides them showing the same episodes for 5 years?

[The Myst]

"It's the biggest con since Genghis!"

I love this episode. It always seemed to be a weird Sealab episode to me though. Something always felt off about it. Maybe it's how little they focused on the crew compared to the dying kid.

Also, Murphy seemed more intelligent.

[Rolling Cloud]

Remember that we are dealing with Adult Swim. You should only believe about half of what their bumps say. Though it would be pretty cool to be able vote for anime.

I know that I shouldn't believe everything that the bumps say but the options are too grand!

[jbanks97]

Well, Tim and Eric get about 100,000 more viewers than Bleach, so they're not exactly equal. Though, it's not really fair to compare Saturday numbers to Sunday numbers.

Just to add to that
Outside of Robot Chicken, I don't think any WS original has come close to numbers like that consistently. For a show on it's 10th episode to (apparently) come in 4th every sunday, I'd say they're doing pretty well.

Sunday, April 8th


Family Guy (11:00): 1,551,000
ATHF: 864,000
Family Guy: 862,000

whats wrong 10:30 F-Guy? can't keep up?


Up: Family Guy (11:00), ATHF, Family Guy

10:30 has more competition than 11 pm. All the network channels except Fox and the CW are still running their prime time stuff. Most cable networks run their big shows at 10. Plus you're going usually have a baseball and/or basketball game finishing up at the time.

[livingfruitvirus]

They've made some modifications to this Saul episode.

[Don_East]

Heh heh, I love the Fix. It has one of my favorite Metalocalypse episodes, "Skwisklok". It's has so many good lines.

[Desensitized]

Oh man, I just watched my taped AS stuff from yesterday.

I can't believe how well Frisky Dingo holds up. Even Killface is more bearable. I like Killface in every episode except episode 1, he just wasn't fun. Watching him get his butt handed to him by Antigone while Phil does NOTHING is too good.

[Master Moron]

They've made some modifications to this Saul episode.

Like what?

[livingfruitvirus]

Like what?

Cut some scenes. Added and replaced music. Added new footage. Added yet another fake show intro for "The Mole Men Show."

[The Myst]

I was wondering about The Mole Men Show. I didn't think I had seen that before but I thought my memory must just be bad. I also thought they cut some stuff. It seemed like there was a lot missing.

[Draft]

I thoguht the Fix cut was about 8 mins or something, cause the 1st part was 3min or so and the 2nd was 5-6 mins

[Zach Logan]

One more graph:

[Kitschensyngk]

Sango: You're not gonna make me swallow that!

NEXT TIME ON INUYASHA...

Me: OMG she swallowed it.

[Duke]

I always hated this 2-parter, mainly because Miroku gets blamed for everything that happened to Sango when it's Sango's fault to begin with.

[The Myst]

I agree with you there but I was very glad that they made some progression in Miroku and Sango's relationship.

Wasn't this anime-only though?

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Wasn't this anime-only though?

Nope. Straight from the manga. I mean, this is a pretty important development in their relationship, after all.

I still get touched by the scene near the end of the episode.

[Neo Ultra Mike]

I always hated this 2-parter, mainly because Miroku gets blamed for everything that happened to Sango when it's Sango's fault to begin with.

That's a problem with Inuyasha in general: EVERYTHING is always blamed on the male partner of the relationship and the female always gets away with the accusations and insults while the male usually gets punished for whatever reason. Whether it's Sango/Miroku and espically Kagome/Inuyasha (though Sango does seem a lot more possessive in a sense. Probably since Miroku's such a flirt and all). Eh at least she admitted blame too in the end and some progress was made. Too bad Miroku just can't stop being a perv otherwise the relationship would just be complete by now.

[Beat]

Rumiko Takahashi is a man-hater.

Bingo.

[Don_East]

I consider Eiichiro Oda(Creator of One Piece) is the Anti-Rumiko Takahashi. He portrays both genders equally. He knows that when the main bad guy is defeated, it doesn't mean the series is over. And if anything we seen in the designs of several characters, Oda lovesthe western culture.

Well not entirley (I mean there is still some Nami whapping Luffy moments without getting whapped back. If he was really anti he wouldn't have that at all) but that is a good point. Oda also dosen't give into annoying incredibley slow moving love triangles/quardrangles, actually has every character in the main group contribute something in an arc (or at the very least don't stand around like useless mopes) and always adds on new characters and twists and keeps them without snapping things back.


BTW Upfront announced as April 26th. We can only hope that's when they do it anyway and I hope they announce a lot of good stuff. Ironically I was wondering when it would come and glad the cards answered

I can't be the only one who is still shocked/upset that 2-5 year olds are watching Adult Swim.

[Discloner]

I can't be the only one who is still shocked/upset that 2-5 year olds are watching Adult Swim.
Where does it say 2-5? I see a 2-11, which I can rationalize as pre-teen kids watching Adult Swim - which to me doesn't seem like anything too shocking or surprising; but I don't see 2-5...

[Rabi~en~Rose]

Ironically I was wondering when it would come and glad the cards answered

AS still has cards? :p I must have missed this one well I hope they have some good announcements! :)

since there are so few cards left I think next week I'll call the thread Anything Else/Super Deluxe unless somebody dares to stop me :)

[Kiryu]

ugh tell me about it, I'm so damn sick of those super deluxe commercials, if you can even call them that. I wonder how long they're going to keep playing them...

[The Myst]

I like Super Deluxe. The "No Direction, Period" Bob Dylan parody was hilarious.

[Discloner]

258,000-185,000=73,000 toddlers watching Adult Swim.And yet you do realize that this number is an estimate based on the how many people one box is representative of. Quite frankly one parent could be up late taking care of a 2-5 year old while having Adult Swim on TV, and record it in their Nielson log book - which would then translate in to a figure that is an estimate of how many in the entire country.

I wouldn't put much stock in the number...

[Duke]

Now, if that wasn't material for a Sango/Inuyasha pairing, I don't know what is. Drunk Sango realizes she's only in love with Miroku because she doesn't want to get in the way of Kagome/Inuyasha and thus has to settle for second place. Her true feelings are revealed!

Oh, and the Kazana-vac commercial is still great.

[Beat]

It just occurred to me...

Is the ATHF movie the first R rated movie Adult Swim has advertised for? I remember back when the block was founded they had ad limits (No beer and No R Rated movies being the big ones) and they've stuck by them. Could this hopefully be a switch?

Hmmm I believe this is the first movie AS advertised that was rated R. Could just be a onetime exception though since it is they're movie and all. (To be fair they really should of aired "cleaner" ads of the ATHF movie on regular CN and not just Adult Swim but doubt even a movie airing would convince the censors to forgoe that rule). I doubt it will be the norm though. But I guess time is the only true way to know for sure.

[Beefy]

I thought they aired ads for the second and third Matrix movies, but who knows?

[Don_East]

How long is that that ATHFCMFFT as with Meatwad, Frylock, & Boxy Brown been on?

[Classic Speedy]

How long is that that ATHFCMFFT as with Meatwad, Frylock, & Boxy Brown been on? I want to say a few days but I'm not 100% sure. I like the ad myself- the part where Frylock keeps shooting Meatwad down is great.

[Duke]

There's nothing quite like watching "Baseball Blues" during the actual baseball season. Especially since the hottest Japanese pitcher yet, Daisuke Matsuzaka, is pitching this evening. Coincidence?
