Summer 2021 Anime Season – Highest Audience

Charles Ono
Hello! My name is Charlles, and I'm passionate about Japanese culture, especially the world of anime. Here, I share curiosities, news, and everything related to this world...

We're in September, and we've already released more than half of the summer anime episodes. The renowned Japanese portal Livedoor News published an interesting survey of anime with the highest viewership. It's worth noting that they used Niconico , one of the largest Japanese streaming services, as a basis.

Additionally, it's worth noting that the survey was based on viewer retention for the first six episodes, not the most-watched episodes. Now, without further ado, let's get to the list:

5. Kageki Shoujo!!: First, I honestly haven't been following this show, and I haven't seen much buzz about it on social media. But we all know that Eastern tastes differ greatly from Western ones, so it made the list even though it's not very popular here. Anyway, I think we can give this show a chance, and its redemption rate is as follows:

  • Episode 2 (51%)
  • Already Episode 3 (41%)
  • In Episode 4 (37%)
  • Episode 5 (34%)
  • Finally Episode 6 (27%)

4. Meikyuu Black Company: On the other hand, this one is a total hit here. It's worth remembering that it's a classic isekai and offers a very unique and lively story. It's also worth highlighting all the comedic scenes, and the storyline is also sensational.

  • Episode 2 (56%)
  • In Episode 3 (45%)
  • Already Episode 4 (39%)
  • And Episode 5 (35%)
  • Finally Episode 6 (29%)

Now, opening our top 3, we have this, the second season of a very interesting series. Incidentally, it's also an isekai and features our protagonist as a villain from a video game.

  • Finally Episode 6 (30%)
