Yes, Akagi did as well. Death Note also aired on the slot. Kimi ni Todoke did as well. Rainbow is another that comes to mind. IIRC Kaiji scored 2-3% in ratings on average.
Anyway, Gundam AGE's 3rd episode generated a rating of 2.5%...for reference, Gundam 00 Second Season's lowest rating was 3.0% for episode 4. And this time it only managed to bring in 0.4% of kids, down from 1.0% for ep 2, which itself was down 1.6% from ep 1. I think it's too early to say it's a failure, but given these abysmal ratings (by Gundam standards) and how piss poor the first disc volume is selling on Amazon despite being heavily discounted, it's certainly looking like one. I feel kind of sorry for Hino...but I do have to wonder who at Bandai allowed this to happen.
