Reporting from 1 source: Anime News Network.
Fuji TV's Sazae-san was the most-watched anime program in Japan's Kanto region for the week of August 31 to September 6, posting an 8.1% average household rating in its Sunday 18:30 slot. Chibi Maruko-chan followed at 5.8%, with Detective Conan at 5.7%, the Doraemon Tanjobi Special at 4.9%, and That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime season 3 at 2.8%. A Few Moments of Cheers, an original anime film written by Jukki Hanada with animation from 100Studio and the music video group Hurray!, aired on NHK Educational on September 5 and earned 0.2%.
The week of August 31 to September 6 kept the same big houses at the top of Japan's household ratings. Fuji TV's Sunday evening stack led the field, and a Saturday mainstay on NTV landed just behind it. Further down, the chart mixed ongoing late-night series with daytime reruns and a Sunday morning children's show.
