We've reached September and more than half of the summer anime episodes have already been released. The renowned Japanese portal Livedoor News has published an interesting study on the anime of the season with the highest audience concentration. It's worth noting that they used Niconico , one of the largest Japanese streaming services, as their data source.
Furthermore, it's worth noting that the research was based on viewer retention for the first 6 episodes, not the most-watched episodes. Now, without further ado, let's get to the list:
Anime of the Season with the Highest Audience Concentration – Top 5
5. Kageki Shoujo!!: First, I honestly haven't been following this series and I don't see much buzz about it on social media. But, we all know that the tastes of Easterners differ greatly from those of Westerners, and therefore, it appeared on the list even though it's not very popular here. Anyway, I think we can give this series a chance, and its redemption rate is as follows:
- Episode 2 (51%)
- Episode 3 (41%)
- In Episode 4 (37%)
- Episode 5 (34%)
- Finally, Episode 6 (27%)
04. Meikyuu Black Company: On the other hand, this one is a total success here. It's worth remembering that it's a classic Isekai and brings us a very different and lively story. Furthermore, it's worth highlighting all the comedic scenes the work provides, and the way it unfolds is also sensational.
- Episode 2 (56%)
- In Episode 3 (45%)
- Episode 4 (39%)
- And Episode 5 (35%)
- Finally, Episode 6 (29%)
