wouldn't be newsworthy if it wasn't
Well, for people who are unfamiliar with these ratings (like me) it could've also meant it went terribly.

Can someone explain how this percentage rating works? 3.1% out of what?


As far as I'm aware, it is the percentage of Japan's TV viewing audience that watched the show.

It's really a poor article in that regards - just two paragraphs of information without context to make sense of that information and then most of the article is just copy-pasted content from previous articles that doesn't tell anything new or help make sense of the meat of the article.

This really is just a padded tweet. Reading a Reddit thread without ever touching the article is literally more informative. I get that the headlines is what's important with all the algorithm stuff, but at least put in some proper context so the first question isn't "Is that good?"

A 3.1% rating would seem very dismal, but I guess somehow that isn't the case.,,,,,,,,,,,

I don't get why this is news worthy. Lupin III Part 6 reached similar ratings while also airing on a late night slot.

As some of the comments here have indicated, I think it would be a good editorial decision for articles like these to include the context - some kind of frame of reference that shows whether the numbers cited are high, low, or otherwise interesting.

Judging from the last four Japanese Animation TV Ranking posts, a 3.1% rating is generally enough to put you around #6 for the most-viewed anime broadcasts of the week. And most of the ones above you are cultural juggernauts like Sazae-san, Detective Conan, and Doraemon. None of the top 10 on any of those posts are late-night broadcasts; they're mostly prime early-evening timeslots, with a few weekend morning kids' shows like One Piece and Curious George.

I mean, Demon Slayer season 2 hit the top tier in a late-night slot, but that's friggin' Demon Slayer.
