by Ranking by review score instead of number of votes?
Filmarks, Japan’s largest review service for movies, dramas, and anime, operated by Tsumiki Co., Ltd., has announced the “2025 First Half Anime Rankings” based on user review data. This is based on Filmarks’ star score (out of 5) data for anime broadcast and distributed in Japan between January 1, 2025, and June 30, 2025.
Among the many works, which anime had the highest average user rating (the Mark! number refers to the number of reviews)? The top 10 rankings, from bottom to top, are as follows: “Re: Zero − Starting Life in Another World 3rd season: Counterattack” 4.20/3190 Marks!, “Fire Force Season 3, 1st cour” 4.21/1074 Marks!, “Apocalypse Hotel” 4.21/1568 Marks!, “Little Citizen Series, 2nd season” 4.24/1590 Marks!, “Medalist” 4.26/7269 Marks!, “The Apothecary Diaries, 2nd season” 4.27/6623 Marks!, “Spider-Man: A Friendly Neighborhood” 4.32/1472 Marks!, “Lycoris Recoil: Friends are thieves of time.” 4.33/1755 Marks!, “Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray” 4.38/1024 Marks!, and “Black Butler:
The Green Witch Arc” 4.46/948 Marks! As the sequels of popular anime are showing their strength, the fifth season of the anime Black Butler, Black Butler: The Green Witch, has received exceptionally high scores, with comments such as “The beauty of the world view and the animation is too excellent.” “The opening and ending are artistically beautiful, and the images are simply beautiful. The anime has scenes that are not in the original, which is good. I’m curious to see what happens next!”
Also, since the ranking is based on scores rather than the number of votes, the overseas anime Spider-Man: Friendly Neighborhood, which is exclusively distributed on Disney+, has surpassed the popular The Apothecary Diaries Season 2.
