The ratings for last weekend’s premiere of Kamen Rider Wizard and the continuing Super Sentai Go-Busters have been revealed. While we didn’t post it on the frontpage, there was a discussion in our Go-Busters Discussion Forum about how Go-Busters had achieved something that no other Super Sentai show before it had – six episodes below the 4% rating level.
We are pleased to tell you (if you’re a Go-Busters fan) that Go-Busters has ended their streak – the last episode (Mission 28) scored a 4.4% rating.
Kamen Rider Wizard managed to premiere at an astonishing 7.1% – much higher than Kamen Rider Fourze ended on. Keep in mind, Kamen Rider OOO and Kamen Rider W/Double premiered in the 10% range, so Wizard has a ways to go to get the franchise back to where it’s been.
At the current trend, Go-Busters is on pace to be the lowest rated/watched Super Sentai of all time. We will see how the second episode does for Kamen Rider Wizard.
