With Halloween this past Saturday, that certainly made an impact on the broadcast world and with Toonami itself. The chart is pretty much given over to what you’d expect with football dominating still and a solid showing for AMC Fearfest that evening. The folks at Adult Swim went for pretty much keeping things to their popular animated sitcoms which means we’ve got a lot of Family Guy and related shows taking up slots here.
In fact, the only anime series that charted this week is that of Akame ga KILL! with its latest episode. It dropped from a 0.6 to a 0.4 and shed about 100k in viewers. Which really isn’t surprising considering the event night itself and so much of its target audience out and about for the most part.

On the plus side, that wasn’t even a new episode of Akame ga Kill. Not too bad for a repeat. What really kills it is that Toonami showed a night-long marathon of AgK on Saturday, which means people tuned in for the midnight episode, and changed the channel afterward…
I’ve been enjoying the show but I guess it just doesn’t have much mainstream appeal.
