Viz might pay them to play something if they did so with Kekkaishi.

 

Aniplex might be crazy enough to throw them money to run Madoka (which wouldn't fit Adult Swim at all but that wouldn't stop them from trying)

 

FUNimation wont pay them which means they're very unlikely to get anything on Adult Swim but if there's something WS actually wants they still might do business with them.

 

Sentai isn't entirely out of the running either.

 

Are any of them likely at this point?

 

No. Definently not.

 

But they're still probably going get something this year. Heck if I know what it is at this point but they'll get something.

I would love to see the reactions from Madoka.

THAT would be priceless.

It doesn't scare him as much.

Anyway, point is options for programming are few and far in between.
This Saturday night, it's a heavyweight collision! Newly crowned UFC Heavyweight Champion Junior Dos Santos, fresh off of his 1st round knockout victory over Cain Velasquez on Fox, returns to the Octagon to battle submission specialist Frank Mir in an all heavyweight card! Cain attempts to bounce back from his devastating loss against Brazilian wrecking machine Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva! Plus, Jason "Mayhem" Miller returns on the FX Prelim show to battle CB Dolloway! The action starts 8pm on FX and 10pm on PPV! I mean, what the hell else would you watch?

Probably because they haven't picked one yet.

Why?

 

Most anime viewers are actually pretty okay with watching FMA: Brotherhood, Kekkaishi and Durarara as second time through and airing something new would push those second runs later into the night. Some people are actually watching those for the first time right now.

 

Statistically most people only show up for Bleach as it is, so having that as the only premiere is really all they have to do to keep those viewers.

 

For what it's worth, I don't think it will be too much longer before a new anime shows up on Adult Swim. Probably some time in March or April.

There's also the ro#### they've run into. They now practically have to pick from shows coming out of Japan, but the problem is, many of these shows WOULD NOT WORK. I mean is moe a good fit for [as]? Hell no, the audience would run for the hills if K-On! were on. They like action with good stories, not moe and romance shows.

+1.

 

Now if only people would get it through their skulls.  Hopefully Star Wars night kicking the crap out of the regular lineup helps.

This Saturday night, it's a heavyweight collision!

Oh yes, because stop-motion animation is appealing enough to defeat the fact that they were all reruns. Don't start on family guy.

 

Where can we view the ratings for last weekend?

Robot Chicken and Family Guy reruns always do well for their time slot.

 

Here's those ratings you were asking about. Mind you this is the total viewership ratings not the 18-49 that we used to see but the later into the night it gets the more sure you can be that the ratings are not influence by younger viewers staying up.

 

You can't deny the ratings for the encores of Family Guy and the 3rd Robot Chicken Star Wars special running from 2:30 until 4:30 absolutely destroyed the anime that normally airs in those slots in total viewership and when it's that late you know it's mostly adults watching.

I wont give the week before to compare to because it was a bad night for even Bleach but I'll give you the week before that so you can see how Star Wars night did against the regular anime line-up.

The fact that the majority of Saturday broke a million viewers on Star Wars night (even the 5:30AM slot)  really puts the usual anime ratings to shame.

 

If Adult Swim is actually worried about their ratings on Saturday then the anime block is almost assured to get downsized, broken up or outright cancelled. Luckily I don't believe they are that concerned about not getting better ratings on Saturday late nights because if they were then they probably would have already dropped ASA.

For clearly only their appreciation for anime is keeping it around at this point. They'd get better ratings without it.

It's not like they were hurting for traffic as it was but I hope more people look towards the legal streaming sites so they can put a little money in the pockets of the people making anime in the US possible as well as the Japanese producers.

While legal streaming has made tremendous strides, there's still a long way to go.

Still, at least today legal streaming is an alternative. "Hulu's showing Queen's Blade whenever I please! I can have a schedule that looks like this!"

9:30pm- It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
10pm- Archer
10:30- Queens Blade
11pm- Naruto Shippuden
11:30pm- The Colbert Report

Yeah, gonna say that's better.

LOL anime hatorz... Some AS staff adore anme but others never particularly cared for it to begin with. The ones who want to keep anime around can't keep it on forever if the rating don't get better. They can't drag their ratings down just to appease themselves and the smaller audience that only watches the anime.

I.don't think you even have grounds for complaining when you're only watching Bleach despite not having watched several of the anime still airing.

You think Adult Swim wants to buy a bunch of anime that most people will only sit through once? That's a waste of money.

I.don't think you even have grounds for complaining when you're only watching Bleach despite not having watched several of the anime still airing. Kekkashi is just a stupid show on its own if anything that helped ruin the anime block along with EVA and case closed when one show screws the rating all shows suffer with them its life and viewers aren't the same anymore

You think Adult Swim wants to buy a bunch of anime that most people will only sit through once? That's a waste of money. not only that but what happens when a company isn't making enough money they end up going banrupt or canceling stuff that doesn't hold enough value
