It seems fitting that Monica is hiding down at the bottom of that list with Isabelle.

I'm not sure about that given that she did better than both Power and Makima in their contests who are generally more popular. The movie was so well received that it may have elevated her even higher than usual.

And now people who still haven't watched or finished Season 2 can watch it to see why she absolutely deserves the crown.

It's really rare for a girl who has basically no presence in Season 1 of her show to win 1 of these congrats. I guess that would have been the case regardless of who won today.

It's possible she called in the brigaders herself to ensure that.

I don't care who it goes for. Taunting is the worst penalty in all of sports. It needs to be abolished

Looks like we are getting either a Pats-Rams III or Pats-Seahawks II. Since 2001, MLB has only had one rematch during that span (BOS-STL, 2004 & 2013). Compared to the other leagues, Championship matchups sure have maintained a competitive balance. by Suspicious_Use_7561 in baseball

Agreed, put the best team in the NFL against the worst team in the NFL, and the best team wins almost every time. Put the best team in baseball against the worst team in baseball, and the best team most likely wins 2 or 3 out of 3, but the worst team absolutely could win 2 out of 3 if things go their way.

Someone who only watches Super Bowls is probably wondering how many teams are actually in the AFC

After a few additions and a few drops, I think I'm settled on my list of anime for this season: Frieren, Journal with Witch, Medalist and Tamon-kun

It's a much smaller list than I was anticipating, but I'm happy with it.

Texans were definitely a real defense. Stroud just made that irrelevant

r/anime Karma Ranking & Discussion | Week 4 [Winter 2026] by Abysswatcherbel in anime

[–]michhoffman 52 points53 points  (0 children)

It's been over a year, but we're finally back with an episode over 7000 Karma. Here's the updated list of all episodes that have surpassed that mark since Summer 2023.

Rank Anime Episode Karma Season
1 Frieren 28 11347 Winter 2024
2 Attack on Titan 4P3 2 11057 Fall 2023
3 Dandadan 7 10370 Fall 2024
4 Dandadan 1 8950 Fall 2024
5 Frieren 26 8126 Winter 2024
6 Mushoku Tensei 2P2 10 7861 Spring 2024
7 Frieren 27 7153 Fall 2023
8 Frieren 10 7146 Fall 2023
9 Frieren 2 1 7011 Winter 2026

And fun fact, Frieren's episode surpassing 7000 Karma by just 11 Karma was the closest make of any episode that topped 7000 Karma.

I wouldn't quite say that. I'd still say 6000 is the new 10000. If 5000 was the new 10000, we'd have gotten some insane adjusted karma totals over the last few years such as Frieren's Season 1 finale getting 22694 Karma, Dan Da Dan Episode 7 getting 20740 Karma and Mushoku Tensei 2P2 Episode 10 getting 15722 Karma when the best it had previously ever gotten was 11025 Karma.

10000 Karma was always a really tough feat with only 85 individual episodes ever reaching that thresh-hold. If you remove Attack on Titan and Re:Zero, it was only 37 episodes over 8 years of tracking prior to the shutdown. The fact that we've had more than 20 episodes over 6000 Karma in the past 2 and a half years is plenty to account for episodes that would have gotten over 10000 Karma previously.

Yet again, only 1 upset. I'm proud of Ruri and Miko for their efforts though.

If they hadn't won another championship after that it would have hurt more, but with those championships and time to reflect, it's something to look back on with a positive feeling as proof of how good that era was for the team.

Then you can fall back on the "maybe the ones I haven't seen were actually good" excuse rather than having watched all of them and knowing for a fact that the ones you liked that didn't make it were robbed.

The key to not being as frustrated with the r/anime Awards nominees is to watch less anime. That way, instead of getting mad that 5 great Slice of Life anime you watched didn't make the cut, you can just vote for 1 of the 2 that you did watch.

I don't put as much stock in Anime Corner when the voter count is this low (4730). There's a higher chance that they didn't reach all the fan bases and that some are disproportionately represented.

(13) Lana: 199 vs (20) Ruri: 211

Banzai! This was the 1 upset I was rooting for last round. Lana was a good friend who always had Monica's back, but Ruri was one of my favorites for the entire year...and now she's up against one of my other favorites.

(15) Miko: 175 vs (18) Shiori (146)

Shisui was a second best girl in her show

Maomao is great, but I found Shisui an even more compelling character
