CATDOLL: Too bad! The latest ratings for the second season of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans are only 1.4%

The latest animation in the Gundam series, Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans, has already started airing its second season in October. However, the ratings have not been high. At the end of the first season, the ratings were only 1.9%, which was also the highest for prime-time animation. Although the plot has not yet ended, everyone thinks that Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans will not have a second season, but Sunrise still insisted on launching the second season of the series. Unfortunately, the ratings of the second season are still worrying. According to the latest news recently: the ratings of the third episode of the second season were only 1.4%!

In fact, the ratings of the second season of this series in Japan have been relatively low since its launch, with the first two episodes only around 2.5%. But by the third episode, it suddenly plummeted to 1.4%, and this episode was filled with exciting battles, which made people feel helpless. Now some people say that this is because when this episode was broadcast, other TV stations had exciting baseball games, which attracted the audience away, so it is better not to put this kind of animation in the prime time.

However, many netizens think that this is just an excuse. They complained, "The ratings of the first season were terrible, why is there a second season?", "Well, it seems that animation really doesn't care about ratings now." I always feel that the original intention of this work is just to buy toys, so as long as the Gundam models sell well, the ratings don't matter at all?
