The problem with Japanese tv is that they air the majority anime late at night and that must suck

It may have something to do with content, imagine showing Fate/Zero at 18:00 and some kid switching it on and seeing a woman being straggled to death.

It's satisfying to see that Yōkai Watch is still faring well.

Man that's a low ranking. I guess Sazae-san is like the equivalent of the Simpsons. But that show is muuuuuch older.

I doubt it. In the past, many anime with content deemed too adult for western standards aired during prime-time. In fact, although it's been toned down in recent years, Detective Conan still has people getting strangled or shot.

It's most likely due to the way anime was and is now consumed. Up until the early 00s, mainstream anime could pull in huge ratings with a lot of them airing in prime-time. Nowadays, outside the top 6, an anime will be lucky to hit 8%. With the declining ratings, television channels have chosen to air others things in those time-slots relegating most anime to late-night slots (where they rely on DVD/blue-ray sales).

Top viewer ratings for each decade (one show = one spot max) :

1980s
38.6% Sazae san
36.9% Dr.slump arare chan
33.6% Japanese folk tales
31.9% Touch
31.6% Ashita no jo (re airing)
31.2% Doraemon
29.6% Gegege no kitaro
29.5% Dragon ball
28.2% Kyojin no hoshi
28.0% Ninja hattori kun

1990s
39.9% Chibi maruko chan (1990 show) : all-time record for anime beating the previous 39.4% record set by Sazae-san in 1979.
36.4% Sazae san
28.2% Crayon shin chan
27.5% Dragon ball z
26.4% Chibi maruko chan (1995 show)
25.7% Kiteretsu dai hyakka
24.7% Yu yu hakusho
24.3% Doraemon
23.7% Tsuyoshi shikkari shinasai

2000s
28.1% Sazae-san
22.1% Detective Conan
21.0% Chibi Maruko chan
18.1% Kochi kame
17.9% Inuyasha
17.2% One Piece
16.9% Doraemon
16.8% Kindaichi case files
16.4% Crayon Shin chan
14.9% Pokemon

2010s
24.7% Sazae san
17.0% Chibi maruko chan
13.9% One Piece
13.1% Doraemon
12.6% Detective Conan
12.5% Crayon Shin chan
12.3% Dragon ball kai

As you can see, the top rating of the 2010s doesn't even make the 80s list and barely enters the 90s list. And things have kept on worsening in the last 5 years. Also, no show except 'Chibi Maruko-chan (1990)' has ever beaten Sazae-san in the decade ratings.
