Sorry for interrupting a bit...

I believe he's talking about the fact that the first season of Code Geass didn't get a non-late night rerun in Kantou (where the R2 ratings have been lower, including the latest drop), while it did get one in Kansai (where they have been higher, although I'd like to see numbers for episodes 3 and 4). The implication is that a day time rerun (of the first season) generated a lot of extra interest in Kansai, but that the late night airing in Kantou didn't, explaining the difference we are now seeing with the sequel.

As for the Code Geass R2 ratings themselves...I'd be worried if the latest Kantou drop lasts more than an episode or two.

The 50% drop for episode 4 is huge, but also rather bizarre...maybe the fact that it aired close to the beginning of Golden Week was also a factor? If so, I'd be interested in what episode 6 gets, more than number 5.
