I actually think it's actually doing worse or around the same as season one. But I think the time slot is just bad. Typically people aren't watching too much TV at that hour on Sunday. They were trying to make the equivalent of doroku, but on Sunday instead and basically the plan utterly failed. The better thing would have been to have kept it on Saturday, but before or after the usual 6pm doroku slot. Or they should have just kept it in the late night slot. I think the types of shows typically at that Sunday time also is a factor. CG is just not right for that time slot.

Late night anime typically don't get high ratings. But CG's ratings for the slot were pretty decent for the time slot. They were not anywhere near what old doroku slot shows like GS/D get. For instance...GS/D might get around 5.0, but CG in late night gets 2.5 or something like that. CG in this new slot is getting around 2.25, which is pretty awful. Though I'm not sure what the typical ratings are for other shows in that time slot, so I can't say whether it's typical or not. All I know is it's certainly not anything like doroku, which is what they wished for.
