The first Anime Corner weekly poll for the Spring 2025 anime rankings (week 1) has now closed! Using data from over 5,000 international anime fans, we created a list of fan-favorite episodes released in the first week of the season. Witch Watch took first place, followed by Sword of the Demon Hunter: Kijin Gentosho and Wind Breaker Season 2.
As always, we base our rankings on member feedback. This implies that the rankings should have no impact on whether or not you watch anime. It can help you determine which shows are popular, but each show has its own distinct style, and everyone’s taste in anime varies. We recommend that you try everything you are interested in before voting!
