I don't see how you could draw that inference, TBH, but in any case I neither said it nor intended to suggest it. My point was merely that in that timeslot and with it's subject matter, Uchuu was likely drawing a sizable percentage of its viewers from adults who don't traditionally watch a lot of anime.
