I’m surprised to see Alya in the top spot. I really didn’t like it. It felt extremely shallow, and relied on fanservice and lewd “accidents” to entertain.
I thought it might have been a show about the cultures of Japanese and Russian mixing and clashing, while being an otherwise nice slice of life or romance show. But in reality it’s much more shallow than that.
I know shows like this (fanservice, romance, lewd interactions, etc) are popular but I rarely see one get to the top spot like this.
Yeah, I was surprised as well. It’s important to remember that AC is just one audience though. Alya ended up #2 on their most anticipated list. So, I guess it delivered what AC was looking for while Oshi no Ko must not have to the same degree.
I am curious if Alya will stay on top as the season goes or whether the audience moves on.

That’s how it got there
I recall that Ishuzoku Reviewers was 1st place in some weeks as well, you may severely underestimate the power of horny in a mostly teen and young adult audience.

Ah yeah I remember that one. I feel like that may have been an exception, there was a lot of buzz around that one if I remember correctly, just because it pushed the lewd boundaries of normal TV anime.
