Gubaba Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Sigh... aside from the Yahoo Japan article nothing has stated that end date which is why I've been trying to confirm this instead of running to wiki and updating it as soon as I read it. And you do realize that Frontier airs at 2am so it's technically Friday don't you? There's only 24 hours in a day... I've never seen people say stuff like it aris at 26:30 outside of anime fandom... I have. The hotel I stayed at in Tokyo last time shut its doors at 25:00...mostly it's used for TV listings, but there are other uses, as well.it seems pretty common in Japan. That said, I have no idea why...overall, it's pretty confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shun Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 (edited) UMA -> Unidentified Mysterious Animal . oops... didn't know that abbreviation I think it's just "uma," not "U.M.A." in the case of that article, they're saying Frontier has alot of UMAs, e.g. Ai-kun. coincidentally 'uma' in japanese is horse Edited August 11, 2008 by Shun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renato Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Those Osakajin better follow the trend FV I think it's been posted before, but I should stress again that a lot of ratings are "lost" on the Kanto broadcast, where all these ratings come from, because the Kansai broadcast precedes it. A lot of Kanto people have already downloaded the episode by the time it airs there. Also, I check the weekly "video recording" ratings (no idea how they measure these) and Macross F is in the top four pretty much every week. Now THAT'S something. check it here: http://www.tvguide.or.jp/ Top recorded programmes for the week 21-27 July 2008 (7月21日～7月27日) 1 - ROOKIES[終]（TBS） Dunno, probably some crap drama 2 - 金曜ロードショー「ルパン三世“SWEET LOST NIGHT”～魔法のランプは悪魔の予感～」（日本テレビ） Lupin II Special 3 - [新]太陽と海の教室（フジテレビ） The Classroom of Sun and Sea: Some crap drama starring that annoying guy 4 - マクロスF（TBS） Yay 5 - コード・ブルー -ドクターヘリ緊急救命-（フジテレビ） Code Blue. Sigh I think the fact that MacF is on this week in, week out is really significant, probably more so than looking at Kanto ratings and comparing it with Code Geass or whatever.

sketchley Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 True, true. Rookies, is that bishonen, wannabe baseball player, troubled youth type drama. http://www.tbs.co.jp/rookies08/ Homeroom on the beachside looks like your typical highschool drama. http://wwwz.fujitv.co.jp/sun-ocean/index.html Which makes Macross F's performance, by these ratings, quite impressive. Screw Code flock of Geese, MF's beating out popular live-action shows!

DeeBot Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 The reason MF is so recorded probably has something to do with its late time slot. If I wanted to watch a show that premiered at 1:25 AM, I'd probably just set my DVR to record it and watch it later, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
