>>53258442SM stabilized the ratings and remained consistent with the average of XY. XY had the rating DIVE BOMBING with every new episode.
Consensus? XY was horrible and was carried by the accomplishments of previous seasons, while SM was good enough to stand on its own but not good enough to climb out of the pit XY dug for it.
It certainly doesn't help that XY was so bad that half the animators quit, making the job that much harder for SM
