The ABEMA platform recently revealed the audience rankings for the Winter 2026 anime season. Jujutsu Kaisen maintained its lead for the seventh consecutive week, while Frien Beyond Journey's End lost momentum and fell to third place in the Japanese audience's preferences.
Oshi no Ko has risen to second place in the ranking.
The phenomenon Oshi no Ko took advantage of the opening and climbed to second place. Thus, the battle for the top spot remains intense among the most anticipated series of the year.

On the other hand, Frieren focuses on a reflective narrative, which may explain the fluctuation in weekly streaming numbers.
Besides the big names, other titles made their mark in the platform's top 5. Noble Reincarnation secured fourth place, closely followed by Magician Knon Sees It . Therefore, the current scenario shows that the audience values both great shounen anime and reincarnation fantasies.
