Obviously the Pokemon franchise is bigger than Gravity Falls. No one here said vice versa. Additionally, having a higher rating really has no effect so why even mention it? Why even mention Pokemon has a higher episode count, that doesn't change anything in the slightest. Logically, the Pokemon anime is separated by the shows itself, rarely by season - a practice uncommon in America. Gravity Falls isn't an anime, nor is it striving to be like one or should it appeal to you.

From a logical standpoint again, if an average viewer doesn't know Gravity Falls, they might not also know the Pokemon anime as well either, considering the fact the Pokemon fanbase and the GF fanbase is very niche. Look at the ratings, they both reach at least at the 1.0 rating mark. (Plus, considering the fact new episodes of Pokemon air early Saturday mornings which by itself is a disadvantage, especially in countries other than America (e.g Canada) there is a possible change it wouldn't reach the 0.5 mark.) Pokemon may have more episodes, more shows, but it doesn't justify a substantial amount of viewers watch it to the point Gravity Falls can be declared as trivial.

Lastly, your opinion doesn't speak out as the general viewpoint of everyone else. You are boasting the anime based on it's popularity while in fact, gets the same number of average viewers as Gravity Falls. I'm not defending Gravity Falls for the sake as a viewer, I'm countering your points on which I believe by looking by the ratings it tells a different story. With the facts presented and points explained, you just made a injudicious statement, and with that said, you have successfully derailed this thread - and several others.

I sincerely hope this is bait.

Related to thread. the cartoons I would watch is "Star vs. the Forces of Evil" and "Steven Universe". I have amazing taste in cartoons. >_> With episodes premiering in Japan on Thursdays, don't forget since that's the country of origin, and in Japan, episodes premiere 7 PM JST. I've seen the latest episode of the anime, this, when it aired on TV Tokyo since I have a way to watch that channel. This is the last Saturday a new episode will air in Canada before the United States. --- By the way, Alex Hirsch ended the show at his own discretion, Disney didn't do anything. I appreciate him for this, but if you're mad at whoever's responsible for the fact that the show didn't get a third season, you're basically mad at Hirsch for doing this.
