TV Ratings 2

And now, TV Ratings 2: Orange (and Schneizel maybe?!) = Ratings.

For a while I’ve been lol’ing around IRC and saying that if R2 wants ratings, they should bring back Orange. Apparently I know my shit pretty well.

Kantou %’s from 2ch:
Episode 11: 3.2%
Episode 10: 2.1%
Episode 09: 3.3%
The 3.x%+ ratings are high for R2… In Kantou, R2 has not experienced a 3.x% rating since episode 01. Anyway these two 3.x% episodes had Orange in them!

Honestly, the lack of Orange in episode 11 made me RAGE, and I concluded that they put all of his scenes in the preview on the purpose to cocktease you and try to get more people to tune in next week. Wouldn’t it be sad if this was actually the case…? Will episode 13 (where Orange is supposed to come to Ashford [and hopefully destroy Ashford]) and episode 14 (where Orange is supposed to show up in Siegfried), draw in more numbers?

But more realistically, there was no hint that Orange would be in 09, so what might have caused the viewer spike then? Schneizel, perhaps? It was revealed in NewType far earlier that shit was going down in ChinaLand and that Schneizel was involved~ (I can dream can’t I?)

  My favourite theory for the spike at episode 9 was that it aired just as the Akiba stabbings happened. The news is on right after Geass, so people probably tuned in to wait for the news.

  This does nothing at all to explain why it happened again for episode 11, though.

  There was that earthquake, wasn’t there? Or was that at ep 10?

  No, it was ep 9, and it was the Akiba stabbings. They put in what looked like an earthquake warning, but it was actually an “URGENT NEWS” warning.

  I wonder…do you have the Kansai ratings?

  Apparently those are better than Kantou’s, in part because of the re-rerun of season one there.

  As for Orange…errr, whatever you say.

  I’m trying to find Kansai on 2ch. I remember they made the overall ratings better.

  Episode 12 scored 2.9%, so so far your Orange theory is holding!
