Interesting Geass numbers, Like 00 the M1 layer is by far the highest. Is that a good rundown of average otaku audience? Cause no one else really seems to be watching.
I wonder if most of MBS' hyped anime did better in Osaka then in Tokyo.
As for the previous posters notice about the anime ratings being domninated by kiddie shows, keep this in mind
Anime while more popular in Japan then America with general audience is still a bit of a stepson in terms of audience popularity compared to other tv shows. Most shows that rate highly are based off HIGHLY popular manga (that many normal non otaku or fan people read) and are family friendly/oriented or kid based.
A vast number of anime made is really made for niche audiences nowadays, and most likely about 75-90% of anime seen by foriegn anime fans are niche works (and probably were made to be). Think about superhero comics' popularity in America for an example. A steady industry but a rather niche one/small audience in compared to the wide world of entertainment.
