Well, for one thing the Ancient Ones WANT to see the people be viciously killed/murdered. The rituals are successful only if the individuals being sacrificed die, or die in a particular way.

The little girls banished the floaty girl to the frog, thus allowing them to live, thus failing the ritual.

So this is why Kyoto counts as a failure, because none of the girls were killed and the monster was in a way, destroyed.
