Two popular animations "Pokémon Sun and Moon" and "BORUTO" broadcast by Japan's TV Tokyo suddenly announced this week that they would change their broadcast times, which shocked netizens. This time it was not moved by a few hours, but from Thursday changed to Sunday! Although TV Tokyo gave a reason to hope that the whole family will reunite to watch animation, many netizens believe that this will cause the popularity of the two animations to slump! Whether the time change is considered a success or not depends on future ratings changes...
"Pokémon" is currently broadcast at 6:55 on Thursday evening
7:25, followed by "BORUTO"
The Pokémon animation series has been broadcast on TV Tokyo on Tuesdays since the beginning in 1997. It has been broadcast on Thursdays the following year and has continued for 20 years. However, TV Tokyo suddenly announced that it will broadcast "Pokémon" together with the series on October 7 this year. The broadcast of "BORUTO" has been moved to Sunday between 5:30 and 6:30 pm, which makes old fans very dumbfounded!
"New animation time will be opened on Sunday afternoon, Pokémon and Boruto will be moved from Thursday"
As for why these two animations are moved to Sunday? The animation director of TV TOKYO said:
"We hope that while the living environment and viewing environment continue to change, we can reunite the family during the holidays."
TV TOKYO's intention is to allow the whole family to watch "Pokémon" and "BORUTO" together. , following the variety show time on Sunday night, viewers can bind to TV TOKYO! However, this policy is not favored by netizens. On the one hand, other TV stations also have good programs on Sundays, and a head-on confrontation will never end well. On the other hand, will children really reunite with their parents to watch animations? Or should we ask who are the main audiences of these two animations...
"Children nowadays are not in the habit of watching animations on Sunday afternoons"
"Children these days only watch Youtube and don’t watch animations at all"
"Most of the people who watch Pokémon are older people. How can children nowadays watch it?"
Nowadays, many animations and variety shows are broadcast through the Internet. Will everyone still watch TV at a fixed time?
