Someone last summer, however, did post on 2ch television audience ratings for four late night anime television series broadcasted on TV Aichi, Nagoya, Japan - including Suzumiya Haruhi. They reportedly got the data through the National Diet Library.
TV Aichi
1.3 1.2 1.9 1.3 1.9 1.7 1.4 0.9 1.5 1.9 1.5 1.3 1.0 1.9 Inukami!
1.2 1.1 1.5 *.* 1.4 1.6 1.2 0.8 1.3 1.9 *.* 1.4 0.7 2.1 [Kakutou Bijin] Wulong (Fighting Beauty Wulong)
1.0 0.9 1.7 1.4 1.2 0.9 1.0 0.7 1.0 1.8 1.0 1.4 1.1 2.3 [Suzumiya] Haruhi [no Yuuutsu] (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya)
1.0 0.8 1.5 0.4 1.1 0.6 0.5 0.2 0.8 0.8 0.8 0.5 0.3 *.* Utaware[rumono]
A 2ch poster observes, Nagoya (in the Chuubu region) is similar to the Kantou and Kansai regions, isn't it? |
Oh my gosh Haruhi got freaking owned in the ratings, but not as bad as Utawarerumono. Maybe its not as popular as everybody thought it was. At least in terms of the TV Broadcast. Hell it was even beaten out by Fighting Beauty Wulong routinely and the highest rated episode is equivalent to about the lowest rated Code Geass (It's logical popularity successor on the Internets in my mind). Speaking of which, what is with the psycho sales for Code Geass DVD's 1 and 2 which only contain one episode each. If this rate keeps up the series will sell more episodes than any other series this year combined. WTH?!!!!
@ Nightengale Are you serious about the GSD recaps outselling Haruhi DVD's, I mean if thats true its both hilarious and kind of sad at the same time. Then again, nothing beats Gundam, like ever. Even the Zeta Gundam Compilation movies of a series made 22 years ago that nobody really remembers of which 3 DVDs were made, outsold Haruhi so it's not a fair comparison per se. If it counted as a TV series than they would be in second place ahead of GSD. Still what a weird world.
