In the View Count Category, “The Apothecary Diaries” Season 2 Takes 1st Place; In the Comment Count Category, “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX” Leads! Spring Anime Mid-Season Ranking

The interim ranking of the top five titles from the 2025 new spring anime season has been announced on ABEMA.

ABEMA independently tallied viewing data for both new and continuing anime airing in the April 2025 season on its anime channel, collecting data for about a month—from the first episode or the season premiere through the week of April 28. Based on the average number of views per episode for real-time broadcasts and on-demand streaming, and the average number of comments during broadcasts, ABEMA revealed the top five titles in two categories: "View Count Ranking" and "Comment Count Ranking".

In the “View Count Ranking”, TV anime “The Apothecary Diaries” Season 2 takes the top spot!

1st Place: TV anime "The Apothecary Diaries" Season 2
2nd Place: The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold To Another Kingdom
3rd Place: The Brilliant Healer's New Life in the Shadows
4th Place: The Unaware Atelier Master
5th Place: WIND BREAKER Season 2

In the View Count Ranking, the immensely popular “court intrigue mystery entertainment” TV anime “The Apothecary Diaries” Season 2 continues to dominate in first place just as it did in the first cour. The series has been monopolizing the top spot in ABEMA’s weekly rankings as well, showcasing its overwhelming popularity. Attention is focused on dramatic developments such as furious “foreshadowing payoffs” and Mao Mao’s crises, with viewers leaving comments like “What’s an apothecary without Mao Mao...”, “Can’t wait for next week”, and “A new character?!”.

Following that, anime making their debut and being released “fastest” on ABEMA, such as the 2nd place “The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold To Another Kingdom”, 3rd place “The Brilliant Healer's New Life in the Shadows”, and 4th place “The Unaware Atelier Master” are ranked in succession. In 5th place, the highly popular delinquent anime “WIND BREAKER Season 2”, which is airing simultaneously with terrestrial broadcasts and exclusively three days ahead, demonstrates its high level of attention.
