This is a mistake, right? The show isn't all that great, even for an isekai. |

I was reading the Bleach manga as it was coming out, and week after week people kept b*tching and moaning about how bad it was but I continued to soldier on because I enjoyed it, but that second to last page of the last chapter just killed the whole story for me. Now 3 years removed I can think about it, but when I first read it, it seriously ruined my day. Overall though, I still like the story, I'll just ignore that stupid ending and Bleach still has one of my favorite female character of all times (I mostly don't care for female characters). |

CR's main shows page is sorted by popularity by default. Not exactly the same thing as tallying up the results from a whole season, maybe, but it's not like they're trying to disguise which ones get the most views.
Something weird is going on with that one. It has more total reviews than Dr. Stone on CR, but the majority of them are one-star, with a two-star average. Magnet for hatewatching, apparently. Shield Hero is doing very well for itself, but I have to assume most of its 5-star reviews are brigaders or something, because otherwise I'm gonna have to adopt Miyazaki's stance that anime was a mistake. |

I guess that explains why they dubbed it.
That surprised me too. People might have taken a Summer break from SAO to get ready for War of Underworld  .

Why is listing the shows in alphabetical order such a huge problem to some people here?
Anyway, not surprised to see mostly action shows on the list since that’s one of the most popular genres anime-wise in the West. The shows that I’m currently watching are Zoids Wild Zero, Gundam Build Divers Re:Rise, and Go Astro Boy Go (which technically isn’t an anime, but I’m still listing it anyway since it’s based on the AB manga, and Japan was one of the first countries to get the show). |

Popular doesn't always mean popular. Sometimes it just means "shows we want to promote that are popular to some extent but maybe not in the top 5". |

Interesting. Only about a third of those were even airing new episodes during the summer, and there were only 3? 4? series that were new last season. I guess this is why Netflix's binge model is working for them.

People are also forgetting that some shows are not available in every region and these take the the total numbers of the whole globe so of course some of them wont be the same higher or lower. That will also effect numbers.

In answer to the question posed, I watch every episode of GeGeGe no Kitarou (2018) religiously every Saturday night. (When you're nearing seventy you don't go out that much!) Kitarou consistently scores in the top-ten by Japanese viewership ratings, yet it's dismissed by Western viewers as a "kids' show." Not too many "kids' shows" have episodes that criticize the Japanese educational system for white-washing the country's role in World War II, or portray suicidal mothers who go on a killing rampage, or any of a number of difficult or controversial subjects that Toei covers in this show that airs at 9 am on Sunday mornings in Japan.

Wasn't the Smartphone one a "most watched" too? I do remember an apt comment in the unrelentingly negative comments section there. Something like: You all be like "I hate this, this is horrible"--> watches every week. Don't get me wrong- it was bad... but even I got halfway. |

Shield Hero has more 5-star reviews than My Hero Academia and Dragon Ball Super despite those being far more popular and having many more episodes than Shield. So I don't think ranking by CR reviews is an accurate judgement. Edit: I should have just said "more reviews of any stars" than "5-star reviews," as that detracts from my main point that Shield just has way more reviews in total than other more popular shows.

Why are 5 star Shield Hero reviews so hard to believe? Genuinely curious. I personally consider it a pretty great 4/5 and know a good handful of people who consider it a genuine A+ series. I saw it get ridiculously popular in my circles and local conventions.
Or do people assume it got a flood of 5/5 reviews because of that controversy? Also, Super has A LOT of issues. Even the Dragon Ball mega fans I know wouldn't rate it perfectly. |

^They're saying that the number of CR star ratings for a series isn't a particularly accurate way to discern what shows are most watched.
MHA is a series that's been on CR for years across 3+ seasons, and by most metrics (including CR's past "Most watched shows" graphics they used to release) suggest it's one of their biggest series. But it has a total of 894 ratings on its page, compared to Shield Hero's 1286 for a show that hasn't even been out a whole year. DB Super was also such a highly watched series that the traffic from its episode premieres routinely crashed CR's servers, yet it has only 471 ratings. |

I don't know if I'm more amazed by Bleach's enduring popularity in the West or the fact that its anime adaptation is still incomplete despite such international demand. I'm reasonably sure a new series adapting the manga's final arc would be a big streaming hit.

So? this is for a 3 month period it won't be on the next list they do. Was there any controversy about the show to get people watching? remember no publicity is bad publicity. |
