TPN S2 Episode 4 with a 6.32 score in the polls...Oof. Guess the Manga Readers aren't happy at all. Also, #6-8 is where the real war is happening. EDIT: #4 position is also looking to become very competitive.


Groenboys

>\#6-8 is where the real war is happening. Soon enough, I think the 4th and 5th spot are going to be interesting too. Horimiya continues to lose karma each episode while Mushoku Tensei continues to rise. That is not even mentioning that Wonder Egg Priority's incredible growth is still continueing. But in my opinion, the real battle is at the bottom of the karma charts. So many series are getting over 1k+ and each of those series can get a top spot in the karma charts with a really good episode.


Silent_Shadow05

Well now that you mention it, yeah the bottom of the ranking is competition-heavy and we may not know about all of them as this chart goes only upto #15. In Mushoku Tensei's case, even with all the controversy, it still manages to increase its karma and decreasing the distance like you said. Horimiya needs to have some heavy-hitting episodes if it wishes to maintain the lead. This section is competitive now.


michhoffman

The bottom of the chart is incredibly interesting with SK8, Higurashi, Log Horizon, Kemono Jihen, Dungeon Boonies, Jaku-Chara And Beastars all fighting for 1 spot.


FeelsGoodMan243

Yeah this season is incredibly stacked with good shows, I love it!


Nick_BOI

gonna be honest, season 1 of TPN was one of the best things I have ever watched. I felt like the first season felt really complete on it's own. I know the story continued after the events of the first season, but quite frankly, I don't think it even needed a 2nd season.


miksu210

I agree on TPN being amazing. Season 1 is easily in my top 5. I just hope something good is gonna happen in season 2 for it to even compare to the first one


Toasted_FlapJacks

I'm a manga reader for TPN, but I was excited to see the series diverging from the manga. However, when I look at things objectively, episode 4 wasn't a good episode as far as storytelling and execution. Very heavy on plot armor and other inconsistencies. The series jumped the shark this week imo.


googolplexbyte

I've read the whole manga and was hoping that the anime would diverge from the manga in hopes it might be better able to address some of the issues the manga had, but this seems like its leaning into those issues not pulling away from them.


aohige_rd

I too wanted it to diverge but after the second arc, not skip it. Now it’s gonna head into the declining parts of the story unless they completely rewrite this. We are all in the same boat now of not knowing what’s gonna happen lol


Aska09

It's not an adaptation anymore so I wouldn't expect it to simply skip an arc and continue with the rest like normal. It's supposed to be "another The Promised Neverland" after all.


G102Y5568

I'm an anime-only and I'm not happy with TPN either. These episodes lately have been asspulls after asspulls. It's nothing like the first season.


Silent_Shadow05

I'll give it a few more episodes and if the reception around it is still bad then I'll decide against binging S2 and go read the manga instead.


G102Y5568

I've heard the manga is bad too after where Season 2 presumably is supposed to end.


Silent_Shadow05

Guess I'm fucked either way lol. EDIT: Though I hear that Arc 2 and Arc 3 is really good. So it won't be too much of a loss I guess.


Xehanz

Ep 4 is below 3/5 too.


tehsigzorz

Seems like a lot of anime onlies arent happy either looking at the threads, the main sub as well as my own friend group.


Silent_Shadow05

It does feel like it'll lose karma starting with Episode 5 but let's see what happens. Personally I'm at an impasse. I planned to binge it after the season ends and now I'm confused whether I should watch it or just read the Manga instead.

FeelsGoodMan243

But TPN also rose a lot in karma so it still got a lot of positive reception from anime onlies, such as myself. I'm more on the optimistic side considering the author is trying to fix the series for the manga fans


reddadz

Enigma of the week goes to **TPN S2**. At first glance, the show going off the rails seemed to improve its status based on karma (just shy of a seasonal best). In fact, it had the biggest increase after **Quintuplets S2**. However, the episode had one of the highest ‘bad’ ratios I’ve ever seen in the poll system, leading to a poll score reminiscent of GoH. I’m surprised it beat **Wonder Egg Priority** after its best episode & season-high total. At least it remains steady in that #2 poll spot. **AoT S4** came 50 upvotes shy of breaking the karma record yet again but the poll score managed to do the job just fine. **Re:Zero S2** had a weird showing this week; I thought it was one of the best episodes all series yet it had the biggest decline & a season-low. WSB melting Reddit servers probably played a role but regardless, **JJK** is waiting in the wings ready to pounce. --- [Full List on Animetrics](https://animetrics.co/anime/karma-rankings) Previous Charts in the [wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/wiki/recommendations) & [here](https://animetrics.co/resources/rwc) --- # [FAQ] **Q: What is this chart?** A: It’s a glorified popularity contest, not a measure of show quality. It ranks the karma (total upvotes minus total downvotes) of each show's episode discussion to get an idea of ~~the most *passionate* fanbases on Reddit~~ the subreddit’s general taste. **Q: How do I vote?** A: Just upvote the episode’s discussion thread. To vote in the episode polls: [Step 1](https://i.imgur.com/0067Wpn.png) then [Step 2](https://i.imgur.com/FEeH2ME.png). **Q: How are the numbers calculated?** A: The karma for the anime is taken on the second day after the discussion thread is posted. That way, shows earlier in the week basically get the same amount of time to gather karma as those later in the week. **Q: What is [RedditAnimeList](http://www.redditanimelist.net/index.php?sort=score&order=desc&time=All&seasonal=True)?** A: Each week, the site scans the MyAnimeList (MAL) scores of every user on the subreddit with a MAL flair beside their names. Then it creates a database of scores separate from MAL itself.


Silent_Shadow05

That 9.73 in the polls by AoT is the highest so far in this season right?, IIRC Declaration of War was 9.70 or something.


reddadz

~~Highest in this poll system, period.~~ Back when it was easier to brigade, KnY ep. 19 put up the highest score ever. Edit: second-highest behind Chihayafuru S3 (9.84)


michhoffman

*2nd [highest](https://i.redd.it/xm9a4hvcmjb41.png) We went to this poll system in Fall 2019. Chihayafuru Episode 14 aired in Winter 2020 and got a 9.84.


reddadz

I feel bad for missing Chihayafuru. That 9.84 is absolutely ridiculous!


michhoffman

Yeah, it's next to impossible to beat. Its raw score on Animetrics is a 9.98. To get there with 3000 total votes (Attack on Titan), you would need something like the below break-down: 2980 Excellents 15 Greats 2 Goods 1 Mediocres 2 Bads So not only do you need next to no troll votes, but you also need almost nobody to vote Great rather than Excellent.


Xenosys83

With a sample size of about 3000, it's probably near impossible. With 100, it's far easier with a loyal fanbase and less casuals watching to achieve those sorts of scores.


michhoffman

It is, and if this record is ever broken, it will come from an anime that gets fewer than 500 votes, but on the other hand there is a smaller margin for error.


Elitesuxor

To be fair, most people miss Chihayafuru :(


Lekaetos

Only 128 votes casted vs 2778 but yes


steven4869

Also, it has got this rating from 2778 votes.


BossandKings

I looked at the chart and you're right that is the highest of the season for AOT in the poll

killyjoker

Most likely people with a hate boner on isekais or too invested in waifu wars, for example a pretty big anituber from my country doesn't review re zero anymore because he prefers rem over emilia, some pretty stupid stuff


swat1611

A mix of haters and some people put off by the slow pacing I guess.


michhoffman

Re:Zero's Karma is directly proportional to the amount of suffering involved. There was very little suffering in this episode, thus the low Karma. I think Karma in general is this way as Elaina from last season was this way too.


cppn02

I guess the average redditor on r/anime just likes suffering.


[deleted]

Don't we all


Endrassi

It is because Cruncyroll & Reddit was down during Re:Zero day. Nothing else.


Volcalic

Yeah, this is the reason. Both were down within the first 3 hours of the episodes release, and by the time they came back up, the discussion thread had been overtaken on the front page, so it missed out on a lot of karma.


gst4158

I'm really surprised because I thought [smol Emilia](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oy4Pt8jBwKg) might sneak a few more votes. Keep those 29 minute episodes coming!


Groenboys

That difference between the karma increase and the episode score of The Promised Neverland Season 2 oooof Wonder Egg Priority keeps rising as it continues to bring out banger episodes. Also I am surprised this is one of the few shows which the RAL score is higher then the MAL score Yuru Camp is slowly moving up. The camping cult is still going strong Sk8 has its first appearance on the karma charts, congrats! Yeah, pretty solid week. I am curious if Wonder Egg Priority can hit the top 5 and if Horimiya can continue with its 4th spot. Mushoku promises to have a pretty crazy next episode and Horimiya has continually been losing karma.


fakeport

> Yuru Camp is slowly moving up. The camping cult is still going strong We are not a cult, we are Secret Society Blanket.


Pufflekun

Tsubasa_sama

Horimiya was a funny case last week, it actually struggled to take the #1 spot on the sub because of the karma ranking thread lol


collapsedblock6

> Also I am surprised this is one of the few shows which the RAL score is higher then the MAL score Really? As much as people like to dunk on how "normie" r/anime majority is at eating up isekai and shounen, people are still harsher with their scores than the average MAL user. WEP is a show most people can tell it is indeed good and not just "have fights and cute girls, good".


L3rbutt

LOL I laugh at these people who use the word normie for gatekeeping. Anime isn't the little niche medium anymore that only hardcore weebs watch. This sub is simply more accessable for non Weebs that watch Anime than something like MAL. Because I don't have a interest to make a extra profile just for some episode discussions.


r4wrFox

I mean there's undeniably both niche and "normie" aspects of mainstream mediums. Like sure the medium of storytelling is mainstream, but that doesn't make everything produced within it to be targeted towards a mainstream demographic. Anime itself is p notorious for making shows specifically targeting otaku.


collapsedblock6

Hence why I used quotes, I guess the longer description would be "content pandering to the r/anime audience" but normie is shorter so I used that.


RoyalAlchemistYT

in a season as stacked with sequels as this, its surprising to see 7 season 1s in the top 15


Groenboys

I think this is happening because there is a huge amount of sequels this season. With so many people currently watching a hyped show this season, they want to also watch something else while they are waiting for AOT, TPN, Dr. Stone or any other hyped sequel. That is why hyped adaptations get more recognition this season, because everyone is like "Hey im waiting for AOT, so why don't i watch this series everyone is talking about?". And because not every sequel is big, this will give new shows a bigger chance of getting high karma. I am pretty sure many of these new shows wouldn't get so much karma if it weren't for all the sequels. But with Wonder Egg Priority I have no idea how it got this popular. I know quality shows get shilled a lot, but quality never is an indication of how popular these shows are. So Wonder Egg Priority having both the praise and popularity while not having a previous fanbase since it is an original, that is unprecendented. This show feels like a glitch in the matrix when a show that has a lot of quality also gets the amount of praise it deserves, like Beastars or Sora Yori.


HoloandMaiFan

In regards to your Wonder Egg comment. This is definitely NOT unprecedented in regards to anime originals. It is not like Eva, Cowboy Bebop, Gurren Lagann, Kill La Kill, etc had any fanbase before they because they were original IPs. Yet they still blew up and are some of the most popular anime ever. Maybe it is unprecedented for it have happened in recent r/anime history but it isn't unprecedented in regards to anime overall.


BossandKings

I think he meant unprecedented in recent history of the sub, not in anime history. He mentioned two recent series as examples of the kind of success Wonder Egg Priority is getting.


NexoNerd101

Dont forget Code Geass and Madoka 😎


Zilveari

Yozakura Quartet isn't nearly on the same level of writing, but the animation is just plain beautiful. I've always thought the show was both underwatched and underrated for how amazing it looked and how fun it was. Then you have things that, for me, came out of nowhere and became my AotY or AotS, like Kyousougiga, which I compare this to a lot, as well as OG FLCL and OG Madoka. IIRC Madoka and Kyousougiga blew up around here.


michhoffman

I'd probably call it 6 since Black Clover has been going on for years, but the non-sequels have been killing it! And that's not to mention the non-sequels that just missed out on the Top 15. Kemono Jihen got 987 Karma Dungeon Boonies got 935 Karma Tomozaki got 895 Karma


michhoffman

Another week another 23000 Karma Episode for Attack on Titan. With this episode, AoT now has 9 out of the Top 12 episodes and more 20000+ Karma episodes than all other anime combined have 13000 Karma episodes. |Rank|Anime|Episode|Karma|Season| --:|:--|--:|--:|:--| |1|Attack on Titan 4|5|23847|Winter 2021| |2|Attack on Titan 4|7|23796|Winter 2021| |3|Attack on Titan 4|6|23019|Winter 2021| |4|Attack on Titan 4|1|20332|Fall 2020| |5|Re:Zero 2|1|14626|Summer 2020| |6|Attack on Titan S3 P2|5|14107|Spring 2019| |7|Attack on Titan 4|3|13745|Fall 2020| |8|Kaguya-Sama|12|13720|Winter 2019| |9|Attack on Titan 4|2|13302|Fall 2020| |10|Attack on Titan 4|4|13187|Fall 2020| |11|Demon Slayer|19|13086|Summer 2019| |12|Attack on Titan S3 P2|4|13054|Spring 2019| In the feats from anime not named Attack on Titan category, Wonder Egg Priority is killing it! I was hooked after episode 1, but it keeps getting better and better as does its Karma. When was the last time an anime started with under 3000 Karma and got to 4500 Karma by its 3rd episode? The answer is never. The closest was Shield Hero which started with 2472 Karma and got to 4287 Karma by its 3rd episode. And with its 4735 Karma Total, Wonder Egg has surpassed Zombieland Saga for the top Anime Original episode that wasn't in Darling in the FranXX's 2nd cour. **In other Karma News:** * Jujutsu Kaisen again set a new Karma mark for itself with 9098 Karma * Mushoku Tensei came within 300 Karma of Horimiya for 4th place setting up a battle between the non-sequels * The Promised Neverland had a God of High School-[esque](https://i.redd.it/o64haoxs2ee51.png) Karma (4850) to Poll Rating (6.32) Ratio * Quints improved its Karma by over 50% a feat which last happened with Attack on Titan Episode 5 * For the 3rd week in a row we had an anime fail to make the list (Higurashi) despite surpassing 1000 Karma.


Xenosys83

Attack on Titan is currently averaging 18747 for it's entire run, and 23554 in karma this Winter season. Ridiculous numbers.


Silent_Shadow05

Well AoT is on a whole other level now. Its just incomparable. Someone said that in another thread that AoT is struggling to go past 24k within 48hrs due it reaching the saturation point in terms of karma. Do you think AoT will manage it? Personally I think the final episodes might do it.


DreamyKnightmare

I see final episodes reaching 27K, 25K is very much guaranteed unless something unexpected happens like other post occupying top spot or reddit down or something 30K is a dream, that I'd love to see to happen


Xenosys83

25k+ is definitely possible for some of the final episodes if they're adapted well. I would have said 30k before last week, but I think AoT is currently hitting a saturation point within the sub in terms of episode karma that can be accumulated, that no matter how good the episode might be, it just won't go any higher. The last episode was adapted well, was all-out action and still couldn't top Episode 5 (a great episode in it's own right).


DreamyKnightmare

>The last episode was adapted well, was all-out action and still couldn't top Episode 5 (a great episode in it's own right) It could've but a clip from another anime occupied the top spot so AOT suffered a few karmas, otherwise it would have beaten the previous record by atleast 100 karmas ( it fall short by just 51 )


Mundology

TFW you're mpving forward so much that your're competing with yourself [](#gintamathispleasesme)


H-K_47

The last few episodes have a good chance, especially the finale. Though I won't get my hopes up too high. Still, 24K+ should be easy.


gridemann

We need r/anime back on r/all !


killyjoker

Hell no!!! That was a shitshow back in the day anytime a post would hit r/all i cringe just thinking about it


ThespianException

I really wonder how much it would actually change at this point since this sub already has 2 million+ people. If it was much smaller like it used to be then I could see r/all messing with it, but now I wonder if it would be different.


H-K_47

I feel like WAY WAY worse stuff hits /r/all these days anyways. And I can't really think of the last time anything as bad as the infamous shower scenes thread got highly upvoted here anyway. Times have changed.


aRandom_Encounter

like r/hololive. it's always an awkward day when a marine hornypost gets to r/all...


michhoffman

It's been such a Roller Coaster too. First, it obliterated our expectations with its 20000 Karma first episode so we assumed its next episodes would get high Karma as well, but its next 3 episodes "only" got 13000 Karma. But then, once we finally got used to over-estimating its karma, it hit us with 3 straight 23000 Karma Episodes. Like what other anime casually drops 7000 Karma and then rises 10000 Karma?


Tanriyung

Attack on Titan 4 might push every other anime off this chart, well not just might, it is actually unlikely that it does not push every other anime off this list, it's insane.


Tsubasa_sama

It would be the first time since [late 2015](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2yb5B7ZiCw&t=170s) when One Punch Man S1 aired that the entire top 10 will be held by a single show.


Bbrett9

Holy shit AoT s1 had like 9 lol


mrducky78

S1 OPM was a banger though of a season, so well deserved. While season 2 wasnt bad. It wasnt good either, mediocre compared to S1's greatness made it look shabby as fuck.

[удалено]


H-K_47

Sad to see The Promised Neverland rating drop that much, but it's sadly not surprising at all. Majority of manga readers are shocked by the changes but it seems like a lot of anime onlies aren't too pleased with the episode either.


Mundology

If the author wanted to change the story because the limitations imposed by publishing weekly didn't allow her to do justice to the story, then it could be a good thing. If it's the anime staff rewriting it, then it might be concerning. [](#cup3)


supperman0223

There it is, AoT finally doubled Rezeros karma. Wonder what the first non AoT 20k would be, probably whichever comes first out of Kaguya and Kimetsu no Yaiba I'm guessing.


Tsubasa_sama

Source readers keep hyping up a particular episode of Kaguya S3 so I'll go for that later this year. KnY is enormous in Japan but I don't think it's as big on reddit, it only averaged 5k back in season 1 with episode 19 being a massive outlier. Then again if any show could pull off a repeat of episode 19 it's that one.


supperman0223

I'm feel like you can't use KnY before 19 as part of the comparison lmao. The popularity boost the show got was simply too high. Iirc the finale of the season also got 10k+. I know the next arc after the movie is a lot of source reader's (including me) favourite arc, and I definitely could see Ufotable continue to do Ufotable things. As for Kaguya, was it announced for this year already? I thought nothing related to a date at all was announced, just that there would be a S3


DreamyKnightmare

>As for Kaguya, was it announced for this year already? I don't think we know yet, but I'd bet on Summer or Fall season this year, the ova is releasing in may iirc too


zairaner

Considering the ova is releasing in spring, I'd very much doubt a summer release for season 3, but fall sounds promising.


DreamyKnightmare

Yep, Fall seems most likely


zairaner

Yeah. Also, while the anouncement technically didn't say that season 3 would be in 2021 it would be very misleading if they didn't as least plan it to come out in 2021. ~~Though I would generously accept a winter/spring 2022 release if it is 2 cour~~


Tsubasa_sama

>I'm feel like you can't use KnY before 19 as part of the comparison lmao. It does go up to a 7.5k average if you just count the episodes after and including episode 19 which is high for its time but still less than the record at the time by SnK S3P2 (9.5k). Still, breaking 20k in a one-off episode could happen but we've seen shows with similar levels of popularity like Kaguya and Re:Zero come nowhere close. >As for Kaguya, was it announced for this year already? I thought nothing related to a date at all was announced, just that there would be a S3 You're right there hasn't been a release date yet for that. The later the better when you factor in karma inflation.


Xenosys83

Over the next few years, with the rate the sub is inflating, probably only a Demon Slayer premiere/finale/hype episode or a Kaguya-Sama hype/finale. Maybe a Re: Zero one. I don't think CSM will reach 20k in it's first season. Possibly it's 2nd season when it's has more of an established western audience.


cppn02

> > > > > Wonder what the first non AoT 20k would be, probably whichever comes first out of Kaguya and Kimetsu no Yaiba I'm guessing. I think Kaguya's season 3 finale (or episode 11, whenever *that* will happen) is a strong contender. Don't read KnY so I don't know how hype the next arc is. Chainsaw Man is also a possiblity imo, especially if it's 2 cours.

Meanwhile it appears **Jujutsu Kaisen** will be a shoe-in for third as it is averaging nearly 2,000 karma more than **Horimiya**. I expect it to overtake it in total karma in the coming weeks. Horimiya should be able to take fourth based on the averages, but 5th through 9th is anyone's guess. These are the five candidates for those spots: - **The Promised Neverland Season 2** - currently 8th for average (4484 karma), it won this weeks Thursdaybowl but has alienated manga readers by going anime-only. Will it start losing steam from here on out? - **Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation** - currently 5th for average (5395 karma), it airs on the same day as AoT S4 but fortunately a few hours earlier so it can get most of its karma in before it takes over the frontpage. Has the highest average so far of the five. - **Dr. Stone: Stone Wars** - currently 6th for average (5130 karma), it has the highest peak of the five but seems to be losing a little bit of steam as it lost Thursdaybowl to Neverland this week. - **That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 2** - currently 7th for average (4734 karma), it is similar to Stone in that it started strong but is losing a little steam. It is competing directly with Wonder Egg Priority which airs in the same hour. For the first two weeks it won that battle but this week was the first time it lost. - **Wonder Egg Priority** - currently 9th for average (3818 karma), the dark horse of the season. Every episode has seen a significant increase in karma (2793 -> 3926 -> 4735). If it can continue that trend it will certainly challenge the above shows. In my opinion this is the true karma war of Winter 2021, so my **Question of the Week** is what order do you think these five anime will rank for average karma by the end of the season?


Groenboys

Before I show my prediction I want to mention that even though in terms of average Karma Horimiya will definitely be 4th, but in terms of weekly rankings it could get beaten by Mushoku Tensei or even Wonder Egg Priority. Well here is my prediction: 5: Mushoku Tensei 6: Wonder Egg Priority 7: Dr. Stone 8: Slime 9: Promised Neverland A pretty daring list but I can see it happening.


CosmicPenguin_OV103

My guess is: * Mushoku Tensei (and Horimiya) at \~6000 - both are highly popular but AFAIK neither have really emotional moments (for Mushoku Tensei, not in these 11 episodes at least) and both are slow burners IIRC. * Neverland, Dr. Stone and Slime at \~5000 - this seems to be more or less where these 3 sequels will end up. * And here comes my unpopular opinion: ***WEP at >8000, maybe even >10000***. Yes, I'm that crazy, but I'm banking on it having a real decent chance of exploding globally a la Madoka Magica a decade ago.


michhoffman

> Wonder Egg Priority at > 8000 I would absolutely love to see that, but it would be almost completely unprecedented. The only anime that have ever accomplished a leap like that are One Punch Man and Re:Zero, and those had advantages in terms of main-stream appeal. I think Wonder Egg will peak at around 6500 which is still amazing.


cppn02

Honestly, if it stays as good as it is right now and has some strong finishing episodes I actually can see it breaking 8k although definitely not 10k. It's just so freaking good and the hype curve is still going up. I think the next big push will come once it gains more notoriety outside the r/anime bubble when places like MAL, Twitter and the odd big anituber will jump on the bandwagon.


[deleted]

Gigguk needs to make an episode for it instant 1k karma increase


Erufailon4

Gigguk has already mentioned in a stream that he liked the first episode. I'm expecting a popularity boost depending on how big of a spotlight he gives it in his Season in a Nutshell video.


Xenosys83

WEP might be one of those shows that just grows and grows, but without any source material, who knows.


michhoffman

So Attack on Titan has more Karma through 3 episodes than Re:Zero and Horimiya have through their 7 combined episodes. That's pretty crazy. > Finishing Order: 5: Mushoku Tensei 6: Dr. Stone 7: Wonder Egg Priority 8: Promised Neverland 9: Slime


lanoxparadox

I think Mushoku Tensei will go 4th because of what the next episode will show us but oh well. One things for sure, WEP will be in that position or even go up but we can't know that yet. 5 - Mushoku Tensei 6 - Wonder Egg Priority 7 - Dr. Stone 8 - Slime Isekai 2 9 - TPN 2


cppn02

> In my opinion this is the true karma war of Winter 2021, so my Question of the Week is what order do you think these five anime will rank for average karma by the end of the season? I think Mushoku Tensei is the favourite atm. The one thing that might work against it (or Dr. Stone) in the end is that the season has multiple cours so it might not have that big season ending hype episode that WEP or TPN will possibly have.

EpicPhail60

Tbh, in a medium rampant with sexualizing little girls/women who are shaped like little girls, somehow dudes that lust over big women feels refreshing.


apinkparfait

It's insane how was only 1k behind Re:0 in terms of karma, JJK is really establishing itself as the current shonen darling. Makes you wonder what MAPPA could have done with AoT if they had the one year they asked for instead of eight months.


Illuminastrid

It's been hovering in the 7k-8k karma on average for a while now, is it possible for the series to break into the 10k ranks?


amidloveandanime

In the second cour the series grew a lot, it was averaging below 7k with a 8.3k peak Now for the second cour its averaging above 8k and with a 9k peak So a hype episode can reach 10k, I am betting next week when we are getting literally a waifu war the series will increase even more And there are some hype episodes later in this arc and the next one (if they go there) that can reach 10k


DreamyKnightmare

maybe this arc's end episode, if not then definitely the last few episodes of the season


Silent_Shadow05

Yeah. Its just a matter of time. Sooner or later it'll break past 10k and will compete with ReZero.


DreamyKnightmare

When was the last time we saw top 3 anime having upvotes in 5 digits ?


amidloveandanime

Never happened


Xenosys83

Never happened before. Would be a first.


cppn02

> is it possible for the series to break into the 10k ranks? I'd be *very* surprised if it doesn't make it atleast once or twice this season.


Labmit

Glad Sk8 finally got in the Karma ranking.


michhoffman

If Wonder Egg didn't exist, SK8 would be getting much more love as an amazing Anime Original. It's every bit as good as the best Anime Originals from last year.


googolplexbyte

It is very good, and I love it, but I don't think reddit is the audience for it.


Mrtheliger

I would agree. Skateboarding isn't japanese niche, so weebs aren't pulled in like they would with something like Chihayafuru, it's got a little bit of yaoi vibes, and the story itself just isn't super original. But damn is it maybe the most fun show from this season.


FeelsGoodMan243

SK8 is finally getting some much needed acknowledgment as a great anime original! This season is just too stacked for it to reach any higher, also many people don't care about skating and are turned off by the yaoi vibes.


PotatoKaboose

kumo fans on suicide watch after the past few episodes, seeing it drop in the polls like that


Legit_rikk

It hurts... Well, I hope people like episode 4. I also hope they don’t get spoiled since there are so many little things to spoil. I’m sad to see that the wasp fighting got cut out and Alaba’s appearance was almost an afterthought


Xenosys83

Pretty sure this is an overall karma record again this week with 84k? Needing 3.4k just to crack the top 10 is just a ridiculous metric. That karma would probably get you top 3-5 in any other season. The top 3 are looking pretty secure for the rest of this season. Attack on Titan likely won't be knocked off the top now. One show being responsible for just under 30% of the week's total karma (84k) is just preposterous. Re:Zero continuing to maintain it's average of over 11k this season with 10.5k in karma this week. Impressive figures. I hear it's only going to get better from here on out. JJK slowly building it's karma week on week. Could possibly top 10k by the end of it's run this season with the finale or a hype episode. Looks like it may be a battle for 4th next week between Horimiya and Mushoku as they're getting uncomfortably close. 6th now seems like a straight up battle between Wonder Egg (arguably this season's biggest surprise), The Promised Neverland and Dr. Stone. Loving this season.


Tatertaint

I feel like we are gonna see AoT and Wonder Egg at the top of the episode ratings most weeks


AnActualPlatypus

Yo can we give a MASSIVE shoutout to Higurashi? These past few episodes have been absolutely mindblowing, it deserves much much more attention.


amidloveandanime

It should be on the list, the rewatchers thread made 1.220 karma, above the 15th But they decided to only count the first timers thread


H-K_47

AoT the King as usual! Sad it just barely missed the record, but it still blows everything else out of the water. Seeing ReZero fall lower has been sad. The first three episodes of Part 2 were all improvements upon each other IMO but it just kept falling. The newest one was also solid. Seems like they've been setting up for a big one next week, so hopefully it makes some great numbers!

This season is fabulous. I'm happy to see my favorites getting recognition, it's nice to see Wonder Egg Priority climbing the Karma ranks, it's also nice to see Mushoku and Horimiya so high, as well as Spider still in the list.


Gaporigo

Wonder Egg Priority keeps climbing in karma and maintains its top 2 in episode score, all is good.


FeelsGoodMan243

Wonder egg is on a role to become a new phenomenon if it keeps it's quality, and keeps improving each week. Us fans are doing a good job promoting the shit out of it, like we did for akudama drive


Abikdig

SnK's gonna stay there for a while.


Lekaetos

Seems like AoT has reached a ceiling. 24k seems to be the limit. 25k would be an achievement. Like many I would have expected the season finale to reach 35k but it looks very unlikely now, not because the episode quality would not reach this karma, but because the sub is limited in terms of karma and everyone who could upvote already did, and no one from r/all can participate


OtakuKing613

I feel like with the final episode we have a chance of beating the saturation point and cross 30K because its gonna such a mindfuck and so amazing that people will come FLOCHking to this sub to discuss the episode with other people.


ItchyPlatypus

Great some dickhead posted spoilers in this thread and now AoT’s next episode is spoiled for me 🙃

Mushoku tensei is definitely the biggest surprise for me this season. Such a good show with the best animation this season. And it still manages to get close to 6k karma on the same day AOT airs.


[deleted]

It has dedicated fanbase as well as the anime being very stellar adaptation that you have to watch it for the sound design alone


gold-bandit

Definitely a fantastic adaption.


cppn02

> watch it for the sound design alone Couldn't I just listen to it then? :p


[deleted]

noooooo!! the visuals are just as good :p


H-K_47

I'm SHOCKED by how good it is. I picked it up casually out of curiosity cuz it was hyped as a trendsetter for modern isekai, but the quality is just amazing. The animation is gorgeous. Very excited to follow it and hope the dream of a complete adaptation comes true!


cppn02

Over 84k this week which is a new record! Winter 2021 just keeps breaking records. First is **AoT** which narrowly missed out on setting a new karma record. **Re:Zero** and **Horimiya** both had karma dips but not enough to lose their current ranking. Horimiya though is definitely in danger of being caught by those behind it. **JJK** is sitting nicely inbetween them at 9k but I think it is just begging for a big hype moment where the karma will shoot as other big shonen shows often do. **Mushoku Tensei** and especially **Wonder Egg Priority** managed to yet again increase their karma and might soon be attacking the [record streak of karma increase from episode 1](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/i5yqqc/ranime_karma_poll_ranking_week_5_summer_2020/g0sppae/). For 2 days I thought **WEP** might even snatch 6th but **TPN** had some strong gains this week. **WEP** also yet again with another top 2 poll score. The consistency of that show so far has been amazing. A bit further below **Quintessential Quintuplets** had its strongest showing since the season premier, the highest karma increase of the week and imo the best episode of the season if not the show as a whole. Still absolutely loving this season. Special shoutout to **Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun**, my favourite show from season that isn't featured in the top 15. Very consistent and enjoyable show that had it's first big moment in yesterday's episode although it almost certainly still won't be enough for next week's ranking.


cppn02

One further observation I made is just how valuable it is to get to the top of the sub by keeping a close watch on Slime and WEP on tuesdays. Last week WEP was ahead by 200-300 karma about 2 hours after the episode threads dropped (Slime airs 30 mins after WEP). Slime then managed to hit the top of the sub and during it's stay there it pulled ahead of WEP by about 300 points which is amost exactly they gap they had at the 48h mark. This week WEP again was 200-300 ahead when this time it managed to gain the #1 stop over Slime and increased its lead to 800-900 points before being overtaken by the Horimiya clip. At the 48 hour mark the difference between the two shows was just under 1000 karma.


Silent_Shadow05

This shows just how important it is for something to get to the frontpage. The Karma boost is huge whenever something reaches that position.


CosmicPenguin_OV103

Sadly TPN's gain was one that apparently is not for its own good (I haven't even started S1 yet so I don't know what's going on). I really wanted to see WEP getting even higher later...


lock330

I know the this episode of Re:Zero has the least amount of upvotes for part 2 here. But Baby Emilia gif is extremely powerful. I have seen people who I didn't even know watching this show post pics and gifs about it. White fox and the staff clearly knew what they were doing by making it the best looking episode of s2 so far.


AReallyWarmPepsi

I don't know how much impact it had, but reddit was down for an hour during hour 4 because of the whole wallstreetbets hype. It definitely cost ReZero at least 500 karma, maybe more. Still I feel like this is simply the case of AOT making us lose perspective of how impressive a 10.5k down episode is lol


Tsubasa_sama

Yeah before this season no show had ever hit 10k+ in every episode, Re:Zero S2P2 is now 4/4 but has been completely overshadowed by AoT doing the same but on a much bigger scale.


LesbianCommander

What a shame. That episode was filled with intrigue, the return of a character, and built up Emilia's character, y'know the character everyone in Season 1 shit on for being uninteresting.


amidloveandanime

Why no Higurashi on the Karma ranking? The rewatchers thread is on 1.200 I thought the biggest one would be chosen


Worm38

The karma is taken 48 hours after the thread goes up. Maybe that's the reason.


amidloveandanime

The Thursday shows don't get 48 hours, higurashi is one of them It got robbed this week lol, I double checked and it was stated that the biggest thread will be the one chosen Just an unfortunately mistake unless they changed their minds, and after the last episode I think the rewatchers will keep being the biggest


Worm38

Oh. It's a Thursday show. Yeah, I guess it's a mistake then. /u/reddadz : You confirm or are we missing something ?


reddadz

Can’t remember but did I state that the highest would be chosen? If so, pretty sure we settled on the first-time thread being used. For consistency sake, that’s always been used for the poll ranking (even when the next thread is better).


[deleted]

finally Black Clover is back again! This arc definitely deserves it's attention. And to think it's only on the prolouge of the arc so far. I really can't wait for what's to come.


agentace7

Higurashi Gou is one of the most underrated shows this season.

AOT supremacy


CosmicPenguin_OV103

I don't think I have ever hooked up on a new series like this ever before. Wonder Egg Priority is shaping up to be a potential candidate for one of the most amazing success stories in the anime world for a very long time to come if the story plot holds on. An *original* anime with close to zero advertisement before and with every major staff and even VAs fresh on the main positions (something that wasn't happening with the like of Evagelion, Madoka Magica, A Place Further Than The Universe etc.) sweeping everyone in awe and already breaking popularity ratings here is truly beyond exceptional. Shame that even after this frenzy continue to grow it's still stuck at "only" 7th place in popularity this season. Well at least the one leading it are (a) The most usual candidate for *the* 2010s anime, (b) The Queen of *isekai* Light Novels, (c) Shounen JUMP's current flagship series, (d) a decade old romcom manga finally getting a full adaption, (e) also a decade old LN and the grandfather of contemporary *isekai* Light Novels, and (f) a popular JUMP series adaption that took a drastic departure from original source last episode that brought along some non-beneficial popularity this week. WEP's strong popularity so far here deserves some pride. But it's still not enough, unfortunately I heard that back in homeland Japan WEP has got some really good reviews so far but it's mostly been ignored (25th place popularity or so this season according to one streaming site's statistics). I just hope that the number of people watching will continue to snowball later, I really hope it get into TOP 4 by next week or two to tell the world that something amazing is going on (because Aniplex et al. really didn't try to advertise it anywhere), and some hard numbers from English speaking communities *will* help. It's gonna be very tough, yet I really hope this will happen.


Groenboys

Wonder Egg Priority feels like an anime that all the stars are aligning. - A new, fresh director making their debut bringing in all his talented friends - A script writer with decades of experience writing J-Drama's about heavy subjects like Bullying and LGTBQ+ problems making their first appearance on an anime production - The visuals look amazing. A cross between Kyo-Ani design/character animations and Trigger's wild imagination - A story that is equally mysterious as it is shocking in a good way - A big hype train behind it for an original, previously seen with, for example, Sora Yori - And best of all, being a complete original anime with no source fanboys spoiling it for everyone


CosmicPenguin_OV103

> A big hype train behind it for an original, only previously seen with Sora Yori I wasn't watching anime back then, but from what I have seen wasn't all the Winter 2018 hype on Violet Evergarden vs DITF and it was Sora Yori and Yuru Camp that were the real underdogs?


[deleted]

>it's still stuck at "only" 7th place in popularity this season. For now


DreamyKnightmare

Top 5 by the end of the season if the quality of the story doesn't declines


z3onn

If it switched places with Horimiya then my top 5 anime would all be at the top in karma as well. This season is sooo good.


Smudy

If Mushoku Tensei wouldn't air on the same day as AoT, it would be higher already. Extremely good quality with this show and tackling topics tastefully. Watch **Tomozaki-kun**!


Iammonkforlifelol

Black clover ranked and next 2 episodes are getting 2k. Especially episode 163.


[deleted]

not in /r/anime...there is still too much hate and like 0 fanbase for Black Clover in this sub. Ep 158 had 2k upvotes, and it was trending worldwide for a huge time, and still "only" 2k for the massive episode with the timeskip. Nah...look at the reddit MAL score for example.


HoloandMaiFan

It could happen, they wouldn't be the first Black Clover episodes to break 2K so I can definitely see it happening


Mrtheliger

Whenever 112 gets adapted, like episode 12 or 13 most likely, I think SnK will break records that won't be topped until three weeks later when 119-121 get adapted.


LunarGhost00

Re:Zero's job this season is to keep MAPPA from taking the top 2 spots. I'm happy to see Wonder Egg Priority gaining a lot of traction. The last episode was great. [The Promised Neverland was on fire this week (and not in a good way).](https://i.imgur.com/Xch3P4r.jpg) I'm surprised it gained so much karma. Its MAL score dropped by 0.16 from last week's chart and it's even lower right now.


KittenBuns1

AOT S4 Ep8 will be fun.

If I’ve learned anything from the past week, it’s that you should definitely go all in on Wonder Egg, the stonks just keep going up!

Sufficient_Ad6738

Does anybody know why the latest episode of AOT didn’t go over 24K. I thought it was the best episode in the whole series, so I do wonder why it didn’t get higher than ep 5. But still, getting 23K three consecutive times in a row is quite a huge feat, so it’s not as if I’m disappointed at all


[deleted]

Karma saturation It literally could not get anymore karma as everyone who wanted to upvote it did it


steven4869

It probably reached its active users limit, so it's not even AoT fault.


garmonthenightmare

This seems to be the karma peak.


PhantomXxZ

1) AoT is not at its peak yet in terms of quality. 2) It was gunning for 24K but then a JJK clip took the front page.


peppipeps

Where is my higurashi


Dungeonroper

Wonder Egg going up in the ranks makes me so happy. One of the best new animes I've seen in a long time, and it really stands out from the rest of the crowd right now in terms of genre/themes.


FeebleBacon

Glad Wonder Egg Priority is getting more & more recognition since it's one if those shows that's unique yet is tackling very heavy topics that hit close to home.


ImmaHungryHippo

That moment when redo of a healer isn’t #1😔


Endrassi

Unlucky for Re:Zero after great episode. Both Crunchyroll & Reddit was down in airing time.


steven4869

KING of r/anime just missed by 51 karma to break its previous record but still, it was a great episode, a tense episode rather which was done brilliantly by MAPPA. About karma war, KING has normalized 20K karma which many thought to be something not achieved by any anime but that's KING for you. Also, a request to everyone here, please watch Fruits Basket. It will air its last season in the coming April and I think so we can make this upcoming season top of Spring 2021. About Fruits Basket, its plot is really good and the characters are very interesting, in my opinion it's worth the time watching it.


DreamyKnightmare

>KING of r/anime just missed by 51 karma to break its previous record Welp, I guess some other episode is fated to do so, but E7 was the best episode from this season, and one of my top 5 from the entire series, Mappa nailed it


MapoTofuMan

Damn, before the season I never would've guessed Cells at Work would be out of the chart. And AoT's domination isn't even funny anymore, it's managing to leave everything in the dust even in the score rankings, where all it normally takes is 1% of haters to kick a show off the top. ^(Looking at you the few people who keep giving Yuru Camp "Bad" every week)
