Ratings released by the Cartoon Network for the second week in October show impressive gains in anime programming. The Cartoon Network's Saturday night Adult Swim block, which features anime programming exclusively, achieved a healthy 49% growth in its target demographic of adults 18-34 when compared with the same time slot last year. Much of the growth was due to male viewers 18-34, where numbers were up by 85%. The most impressive fact about the Adult Swim block, however, is the fact that it was number one among 12-24-year-olds among all cable networks during its Saturday night timeslot.
