Japanese Animation TV Rankings for May 11-24

Video Research released the Japanese animation household TV ratings for the Kanto region covering the weeks of May 11-17 and May 18-24. In the first week, Sazae-san led with a 7.1 rating, followed by Detective Conan at 6.5 and Chibi Maruko-chan at 5.1. The top ten also included Doraemon, Crayon Shin-chan, One Piece, Star Detective Precure!, Curious George, Oshiri Tantei season 10, and Bluey. The following week, Sazae-san remained on top at 6.9, with Detective Conan at 6.2 and Chibi Maruko-chan at 4.7. One Piece rose to 2.7, while That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime season 3 and Ascendance of a Bookworm Part 3 re-entered the chart at 2.6 and 2.5 respectively. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba rebroadcast tied at 2.3 with Crayon Shin-chan. Star Detective Precure! closed the list at 2.0.
Video Research compiles the ratings from a survey of households in the Kanto region, estimating the percentage of the population watching live broadcasts. Recordings viewed later are not counted. The May 11-17 week saw Sazae-san, Detective Conan, and Chibi Maruko-chan hold the top three spots as usual, while the lower half featured a mix of children's programming and late-night shows. The May 18-24 week saw the return of two series that had dropped out the prior week: That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime season 3 and Ascendance of a Bookworm Part 3. A Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba rebroadcast also entered the chart, tying with Crayon Shin-chan at 2.3. The ratings provide a snapshot of what Japanese households watched as it aired, distinct from streaming or time-shifted viewership.
