We NEED the "simple explanation for that" meme in this thread just for that .

At 5.2% that's still a lower full series average than every other Heisei series. Even Wizard had a 5.8% for overall.
It just goes to show once again that Gaim was crazy over hyped by western fans. The toyline sold very well which made it a success, but the show in Japan was no more popular than any other recent rider. I simply do not understand the ratings thing. "They were low" doesn't satisfy me... I always want reasons when arguments are made (as anyone should to be a good rhetorician), for better or for worse. I know kids here who probably would have loved Gaim a lot. Guess I just can't wrap my head around the whole culture gap thing...

Nobody knows why so few people tuned in and nobody will argue that gaim was a bad show. Far from it Gaim is a great show but the things we liked about it like the heavy emphasis on story with pretty much no filler, the dark and broody atmosphere and the high character death rate were probably what the audience didnt want out of Rider. I can imagine that the overall plot of Gaim would have become far too complicated for the target demographic (3-5 years) around the point were Hase died and those are the episodes were the ratings first show a heavy decline.

Yeah but Toei and TV Asahi dont care about the people that DVR or watch online. Those people dont factor into the ratings cause they dont actually watch the show on the time it airs. Its pretty likely that alot of people saw it after the fact but the tv station doesnt gain any money from them.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't a lot of the earlier Heisei shows have low ratings as well?

Kuuga - 9.7% Agito - 11.7% Ryuki - 9.4% Faiz - 9.3% Blade - 7.9% Those are pretty much the shows that fall under the "early heisei" umbrella and they all have really high ratings compared to modern rider. Blade dropped alot in the ratings compared to Faiz but like I said compared to Gaims ratings its still pretty high. |

While it was overhyped (and I'd like to remind everyone I was quite adamantly and vocally against all of the hype and even the premise of Gaim before the show started), I did end up really genuinely enjoying it quite a lot. I don't quite appreciate the seemingly spreading sentiment that nobody could have actually liked it, it was a bad show because ratings said do (bullocks to fucking ratings... but yeah this is the big one), or that its fans somehow ruined it.

Even though Zangetsu gets the genesis driver, will Takatora ever gain Jinba Melon arms?
