Weekly ranking roundup:

  1. Anime Corner - Full Results - Weekly Winner: Kaiju No. 8
  2. Anime Trending - Full Results - Weekly Winner: Whisper Me a Love Song
  3. Reddit Karma - Weekly Winner: Mushoku Tensei

Credit to /u/Abysswatcherbel for making the chart for reddit karma and /u/Nooble5 for the AT chart.

Three charts, three winners this week. Something I noticed this week is that Go! Go! Loser Ranger! is really low on AT's list at #19 while being in the top 10 on both the other lists.

The story that I read on /r is that GGL Ranger in Japan is in Disney+ jail, i.e. It's a Disney+ exclusive, not on broadcast TV, and there aren't many Disney+ subscribers in Japan, therefore low public awareness.

That's really a shame, because it's one of the outstanding shows this season, IMO.

And keeping the show behind a paywall from the biggest base of sentai show fans, i.e. Japan, isn't going to help its popularity.

Yeah, I have heard lots of complaints about Disney Jail in the past. I didn't know the full scope of the issue until the recent MB video about it though. The show has been really good so far and I have been enjoying it more than I thought I would based on the preseason previews.

Is it just me or the reddit karma kind of low. Usually the top show gets over 5k

I pulled up week 4 totals for the past couple seasons for comparison (source is animekarmalist.com):

Season Wk. 4 Winning Show Score Total
Winter 2024 Frieren 5841
Fall 2023 Frieren 6192
Summer 2023 JJK S2 6671
Spring 2023 Oshi no Ko 6847
Winter 2023 Vinland Saga S2 5256

So, this does seem pretty low by comparison.

Yeah, it doesn't seem like there's a huge breakout hit this season.

There are some good shows, but there aren't any great shows.
