Credit to /u/Abysswatcherbel for making the chart for reddit karma and /u/Nooble5 for the AT chart.
Three charts, three winners this week. Something I noticed this week is that Go! Go! Loser Ranger! is really low on AT’s list at #19 while being in the top 10 on both the other lists.
The story that I read on /r is that GGL Ranger in Japan is in Disney+ jail, i.e. It’s a Disney+ exclusive, not on broadcast TV, and there aren’t many Disney+ subscribers in Japan, therefore low public awareness.
That’s really a shame, because it’s one of the outstanding shows this season, IMO.
And keeping the show behind a paywall from the biggest base of sentai show fans, i.e. Japan, isn’t going to help its popularity.
Yeah, I have heard lots of complaints about Disney Jail in the past. I didn’t know the full scope of the issue until the recent MB video about it though. The show has been really good so far and I have been enjoying it more than I thought I would based on the preseason previews.
Is it just me or the reddit karma kind of low. Usually the top show gets over 5k
I pulled up week 4 totals for the past couple seasons for comparison (source is animekarmalist.com):
| Season | Wk. 4 Winning Show | Score Total |
|---|---|---|
| Winter 2024 | Frieren | 5841 |
| Fall 2023 | Frieren | 6192 |
| Summer 2023 | JJK S2 | 6671 |
| Spring 2023 | Oshi no Ko | 6847 |
| Winter 2023 | Vinland Saga S2 | 5256 |
So, this does seem pretty low by comparison.
