On another note, I'm planning to download Madoka after I finish downloading Agito. From what I heard about form all of you, it's worth downloading. Just wondering, do you guys watch anime online or download it?

Stream it if you can legally, otherwise for a lot of stuff you have no choice but to download it. Madoka hasn't been licensed so any site claiming to stream it is probably loaded with malware. Just download it.

That's how I usually watch anime nowadays. I'm just wondering how others watch it, online or download. I used to download anime, convert it to .mp4, put it on my ipod and watch it while in bed XD

Precure didn't even hit 6%? Wow, I suppose I overestimated its popularity. In the world of anime a 6% still makes a show a juggernaut, though. I'm also surprised that Toriko is doing so well so early, though as I understand it, the manga is incredibly popular and it's even dethroned Bleach in the "big three" of Shounen Jump alongside One Piece and Naruto. I'm saving up a few months' worth of episodes before I watch any because the first 20+ episodes of any shounen series are always dull exposition and world-building, no matter how great the show ends up being.

I recall reading somewhere that Toriko was pretty much bombing in terms of what Toei expected it to do. This is the show that replaced Dragonball Kai, which usually got high 8 to low 9s and Toriko's only hit that in its first two or so episodes. I might watch it since the art style seems rather interesting, I've got no idea what it's about though.

And because I like states, these are some of the last few episode ratings for Suite:

6%
5.6%
5.2%
5.2%
5.4%

Annnnd because I do this all the time for tokusatsu, figured I would do it for PreCure and you might be interested!

Futari wa PreCure - Average ratings 7.73% - Final gross: 65 million
Max Heart - Average ratings: 8.0% - Final gross: 59 million
Splash Star - Average ratings: 8.8% - Final gross: 60 million (though Toei projected 90 and they sort of consider this a disappointment)
PreCure 5 - Average ratings: 7.4% - Final gross: 110 million (Toei considers this the series that started the "PreCure boom)
5 GO GO! - Average ratings: 6.8% - Final gross: 115 million
Fresh! - Average ratings: 7.5% - Final gross: 86 million (found the age range Toei markets the shows to here, 4 to 8 year olds)
HeartCatch - Average ratings: 6.6% - Final gross: 128 million

EDIT - Whoa, totally forgot that first 1 on HeartCatch, makes a big difference!

Also, even though Suite seems like it's going to do a little worse ratings wise, Toei insiders are saying that it's shaping up to match HeartCatch's sales.

Toei has a good percentage of the top ten anime series clenched pretty much forever as long as they keep airing Precure, One Piece, and Toriko (and whatever other series they animate.) Expecting any series to immediately do as well as Kai seems pretty unreasonable o_O

Anyway, the show is about huge muscular dudes that hunt down and kill rare animals as food for gourmets. It could prove to be interesting, but the first couple of episodes that I watched are about as generic shounen as it gets so I'm waiting to watch again until it has some kind of plot.

Why does Heartcatch have one of the lowest percentages but the highest gross? Was it the most popular with otaku of the Precure franchises?

Yeah, I think Toei just thought anyone tuning in for Kai might see previews for Toriko and jump on it and...then not so much.

That sounds...pretty terrible! I might watch it, though, because I like 80s style anime and this just screams that to me.

Well this is something I assumed and did a bit of reading on some months ago, it was basically Nana Mizuki and the character designer, two pretty big names in anime, couple them with a long lasting kids franchise and bam! Apparently the HeartCatch toys also saw a huge jump in quality and technology, soooo that might be it as well.

Well Toriko's costume is pretty much a ripoff of Goku's, so it had that going for it XD It is pretty 80s-looking. I'm pretty shocked with its popularity because I figured it would have been rejected by the young kids that read this sort of thing as ugly. He pretty much does just look like that guy from the gambling series (Kaiji?) on Goku's body.

Heartcatch is awesome so I'm glad it did well. Something tells me Suite isn't going to perform quite as spectacularly unless some superstar seiyuu is in it as well, and even then I wouldn't know because I really don't follow that sort of thing :p
 
What is Toriko actually comparable too? I haven't read it but....Battle shonen based around food? wut.

That pretty much describes it. He just wrestles giant monsters and then eats them.

...and yet it still sounds way better than half of the stuff the anime industry puts out these days.
 
I kinda want, i guess one of these days i'll give i a try.

I'm actually downloading the first 50 eps of One Piece as atm, I'm not liking the quality of scans so the more time consuming method it is. Endless shonen are fine to marathon so i should be ok.

One Piece is a pretty excellent adaptation of the manga for the most part. It's just that the animation begins to have its high and low points starting with the Little Garden arc and filler gets shoved in at bothersome moments here and there, but the animation is never outright terrible.

I remember when I was catching up to One Piece. I remember just watching it all the time, and I would probably rip through 15-20 episodes a day myself, especially through the Alabasta arc.

That's because One Piece animators change every week probably. That's why you can always notice differences between every episode.

Basically, different animation directors have different teams and it leads to really strange episodes at times.
