It would depend of its airing time. 
I read that it was aired Fridays at 22h 30. Is that right?
If that's the case, I guess it can't have gotten that much popularity, but for 
the time, it's quite incredible, isn't it?
I mean, Trigun, Lain, and others running way after midnight never made it 
to the 10 percents, but they were still considered as successes...
