Week 9 of the Summer 2026 season brought plot twists to the popularity rankings, with Season 4 of Re:ZERO reclaiming the title of the most voted anime by the international community.
Re:ZERO Dominates Week 9 Voting
After finishing in third place the previous week, Subaru's journey in Re:ZERO managed to win back the audience, securing 16.39% of the total votes. The show earned its second weekly victory this season, surpassing heavyweights like Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War – The Calamity, which dropped to second place with 14.41%, and Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, which rounded out the top three in third place with 11.11%.
Beyond the top spots, the ranking highlighted the rise of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, which jumped from 11th to 4th place. The Top 10 also featured titles such as Saga of Tanya the Evil II and Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You, demonstrating a wide variety of genres among fan favorites during this period.
The data shows a considerable gap between the top three and the rest of the list. While the leaders maintained double-digit vote percentages, the difference between fourth and seventh place was less than half a percentage point, pointing to a tight race in the middle of the chart.
