A fun topic that seems to spark a lot of conversation on the TokuNation.com Forums is the ratings of both Kamen Rider Wizard as well as Go-Busters. As we’ve previously mentioned, Go-Busters is on pace right now to be the lowest rated Super Sentai series of all time, doing even worse than OhRanger, which was the previous all time record holder for worst television ratings ever.

And don’t forget that Kamen Rider Fourze was abysmal in the ratings department, but the show managed to save face if only because of outstanding merchandise sales for the Fourze Driver and the various switches.

So how did the shows do this week?

Kamen Rider Wizard posted a 7.8% rating, up from it’s premiere of 7.1%. This single episode of Kamen Rider is the highest rated episode since Episode 12 of Kamen Rider OOO. That’s November 2010 for those of you keeping track.

Go-Busters pulled in a 5.2%, tying the series high set back on Mission 08. This can be creditted both to the fact that more people are watching Kamen Rider Wizard and, just maybe, the fact that Go-Busters is doing a unique “shake-up” … a new intro, a new theme song, and apparently a new main villain. And to quote some of our users here that are still watching, “What is this!? There’s an actual STORY in Go-Busters?!”

It’ll be interesting to see how this coming weekend’s numbers look. Will Kamen Rider Wizard continue to move up, breaking the 8.0% mark? Will Go-Busters reclaim some respect and adoration, or is it destined to be the worst rated Super Sentai of all time?

Stay tuned!

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.
