CATDOLL: The ratings of the animated film "Child of the Monster" are only 10.9%, a record low

Recently, the latest theatrical animation "Children of the Monsters" by the famous Japanese animation director Mamoru Hosoda was broadcast for the first time on Japanese TV, but it hit a record low with an average audience rating of 10.9%. However, the same day was also the day when "Pokemon GO" was launched in Japan, and such a big collision led to a drop in its ratings, which was really tragic.

The average ratings of Hosoda Mamoru's other works are: "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" 12.2%, "Summer Wars" 14.1%, "Wolf Children: Ame and Yuki" 15.4%. In 2003, the theatrical animation "Spirited Away" aired on the same program had a historic 46.9%, showing the strong strength of Ghibli. On the 5th of next month, the program will continue to air theatrical animations from Ghibli for two consecutive weeks. I wonder if the ratings can continue to be brilliant. In addition, what would Mr. Hosoda think if he knew that his work had only such a low rating? He must hate Nintendo. Let's see what netizens have to say about this.

"It's all Pokemon GO's fault. On Friday night, everyone went out to catch Pokemon. No one was watching TV at home. I was actually surprised to see such a number."

"Child of the Monsters is clearly the best animation made by Mamoru Hosoda, but it has such a low viewership rating, which is a bit unbelievable."

"It coincided with the release of Pokemon GO. There's nothing we can do about it. The ratings of other shows should have dropped as well."

"I've already seen it in the cinema, why do I have to watch it again on TV? It's not a very good animation."

"The next day is the day One Piece GOLD is released, plus Pokémon GO, so I can only be regarded as a sacrifice."

"Pokemon GO" can actually affect the ratings. It seems that Nintendo's big move this time is indeed incredibly powerful.
