In the U.S., companies like
[Nielsen](http://www.nielsen.com/us/en/top10s.html) track viewership of
television programs. What is the equivalent of this for Japanese television
programs (and, in particular, anime), if any?

anime-production resources
Where can one learn about viewership ratings for anime?


The closest thing you can probably find to something like Nielsen is [Video
Research](http://www.videor.co.jp/data/ratedata/top10.htm#anime). It's in
Japanese (of course) but google translate does pretty well with the anime
titles.

Also, there is [this site](http://www.geocities.jp/animesityouritu/) which
lists historical ratings that go back to 2000.

As for anime movies, DVD/BD rankings, there's
[Oricon](http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/).
