On the 1st, entertainment marketing company GEM Partners released the latest results of the “Viewer Points Ranking,” an analysis of viewing trends for entertainment content on video streaming services, for the 4th week of July 2024 (July 22nd to July 28th, 2024).
This ranking surveys and compiles the attention of entertainment works as “viewer points” regardless of genre (anime, drama, movie, etc.), new or old, or distribution service, and announces the top 20 overall and by gender. As the collating period was in late July, many works broadcast in the summer season were ranked in the anime category.
“Crayon Shin-chan” and “Ramen Akaneko” ranked 20th or higher
The most famous work this season, “Oshi no Ko,” has risen in rank from the previous time and taken the top spot for the first time.
The “2.5-dimensional stage” that has been developed since the first episode of the second season, which aired in July, has attracted attention for its depictions from various perspectives, such as actors, stage writers, and original authors. The episode that aired the other day also unveiled new visuals for the “real thing.” As the excitement inside and outside the work grows, the number of points in this ranking is expected to increase further.
In addition, compared to the third week a week ago, the new TV anime ” Ramen Akaneko ” increased above 20th place and ranked 11th. This work, which has been broadcast nationwide on 28 TBS affiliated stations since Thursday, July 4th, is based on the manga of the same name serialized in “Jump +” and is an unusual work story that depicts the daily life of the main character, a human named Tamako, who works at a ramen shop run by cats, and the cats.
The development, which is full of cat-related things, has fascinated fans, and it was made into an anime at an unusual speed since the original work was announced in 2021. The anime cast includes famous voice actors such as Tsuda Kenjiro as Bunzo, Sugiyama Noriaki, Murase Michiyo, Kugimiya Rie, Hayami Saori, and Orihara Kurumi. The heartwarming story and adorable cats are attracting attention. Another rising work is “Crayon Shin-chan,” which has risen above 20th place.
The 31st film in the series, “Crayon Shin-chan: Our Dinosaur Diary,” will be released nationwide next weekend on August 9th, and “Shin Jigen! Crayon Shin-chan THE MOVIE” was broadcast on terrestrial television for the first time today, the 4th, from 10:00. This appears to have contributed to the excitement.
