The weekly anime rankings for the Fall 2026 season have revealed their fourth-week results, with Bleach seizing the number one spot. Tite Kubo's popular series secured a significant percentage of votes, outperforming other major releases.
Fall 2026 Week 4 Results
Anime Corner has released the results of its latest popularity poll for the fourth week of the Fall 2026 season. Bleach led the charts with an impressive 25.31% of the votes, standing out among the currently airing anime. This result showcases the strong appeal the franchise continues to command among viewers.
Following in second place was Firefly Wedding, one of the most talked-about premieres of the season. Third place went to Student Council, which has also maintained strong momentum in the polls. These weekly rankings reflect fan preferences and serve as a barometer for series popularity.
Bleach and Cyberpunk Exit the Weekly Polls
An important detail revealed by Anime Corner is that both Bleach and Cyberpunk will be leaving the weekly polls following this fourth week. Typically, this departure indicates that the seasonal broadcast of these anime is drawing to a close or that they are no longer considered "new releases" by voters, allowing other newly launched or rising titles to gain more visibility in upcoming polls.
This practice is common in seasonal rankings, ensuring the list stays up-to-date with the most relevant and active productions each week. Despite its departure, Bleach's strong showing in this final week stands as proof of its dedicated fanbase and the quality of its current season.
More About Bleach
Bleach is one of anime and manga's biggest franchises, created by renowned author Tite Kubo. Its serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump between 2001 and 2016 spanned 74 volumes and earned a massive global following. The central story follows Ichigo Kurosaki, a teenager with the ability to see ghosts, whose life is transformed when he becomes a Soul Reaper.
The original anime adaptation, produced by Studio Pierrot, aired from 2004 to 2012, covering the majority of the manga. In 2022, the series made a triumphant return with Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War (Sennen Kessen-hen), aiming to adapt the final arc of Kubo's work—a moment fans had awaited for years. The previously released cours of this new phase received widespread acclaim for their faithfulness to the manga and high animation quality.
Bleach's first-place finish in the Fall 2026 seasonal rankings suggests that a new cour or perhaps the conclusion of Thousand-Year Blood War is currently airing. This continued success reflects the franchise's ability to maintain its relevance and captivate both longtime fans and newcomers alike, proving that Ichigo Kurosaki's legacy remains as strong as ever in the anime landscape.
