r/anime Karma Ranking & Discussion | Week 13 [Fall 2025]

It's the end of the season, so there are a lot of final episodes this week. I'm especially sad to say goodbye to [**Scarlet**](https://imgchest.com/p/wl7lwwz564x) from [**May I Ask for One Final Thing?**](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1pqpne2/comment/nuw5c7l/?context=3&utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) (who got a nice boost of karma and ended up in 4th place) and [**Iana/Konoha**](https://imgchest.com/p/na7kknw9b78) from [**The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess**](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1puqrbg/comment/nvr3kfo/?context=3&utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) (21st place), who were my favorite characters this season.

[**Spy x Family S3**](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1prfra0/comment/nv1jh43/?context=3&utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) tops the list this week, unsurprisingly, followed by [**Gachiakuta**](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1ps8kft/comment/nv7oe3h/?context=3&utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) in 2nd place and **Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray** in 3rd place, with a pretty big gap between the two shows. I thought the race for 2nd place would be much tighter, considering last week's results.

Other series that ended and I watched were [**This Monster Wants to Eat Me**](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1pvek7b/comment/nvvmrwc/?context=3&utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) (5th place), which was a great mix of yuri, drama, horror, and comedy; [**Campfire Cooking S2**](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1ptww4y/comment/nvkhykq/?context=3&utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) (8th place) and [**Isekai Quartet S3**](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1pt13bc/comment/nvdov3f/?context=3&utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) (11th place), which were both very enjoyable series.

By the way, the last episode of **Dad is a Hero, Mom is a Spirit, I'm a Reincarnator** (31st place, so it didn't enter the ranking) had 288 comments and only 89 karma, giving it a ratio of 3.23! This must be one of the highest comment/karma ratio ever on this site when it comes to episode discussions.

Even though it was mostly just because the shows that ended ahead of last week's chart opened up more space this time, I’m happy to see Ginpachi-sensei make the chart one last time! [](#seasonalapproval) Really hope it gets a season 2 at some point. Yeah, it's not quite the same as regular Gintama, but it still made me laugh my ass off every week.

I am also glad to see Undead Unluck Winter Arc just barely make the top 10 on this. As someone who watched the first season for the first time during the rewatch leading up to it, I had an absolutely *wicked* time with the show and couldn't be more excited for season 2 if I tried. [](#hypeoverload) It did make me laugh at the first *seven minutes* of the special just being season 1 recap though, lol. I'm sure that was helpful for the people who watched season 1 two years ago, but it certainly wasn't necessary for me.

Next week’s chart should be… interesting. [](#mugiwait)

Save the karma ranking JJK!

Fiona approves of the Spy x Family banner image.

Pretty big jump for AssStats, and I thought most people gave up on this show.

Winter 2026 anime season starting from next week should be interesting to see.

Not even in this reduced week Tojima managed to get on the left side.

[](#sadholo)

Fiona and her colourful imagination lmao. The only hint of comedy in an otherwise tense and serious episode.

Seeing as most shows had ended last week SxF seems poised to retain top spot next week, followed by GNOSIA. Both are among my top titles this season.

Shampoo is such a cutie, I miss her already.

8k\~ holy thats gotta be lowest i have seen

Chitose stole screenshot from mangaka (ep12 \~16:04)

I’m still not over just how foul of a joke “Onigiri second” is. They did not need to do her like that.

Finally, Hands Off getting the recognition it deserves

Finally this anime season and 2025 as a whole has concluded. 2025 wasn't the best year for anime but we still got some bangers. 2026 looks much better. A peak season awaits us from January next year.

As for this season, I got time to watch some underground gems I missed from earlier this year. A dry season like this one is not bad every once in a while. Gives you free time to watch some older stuff.

I enjoyed season 1 of To Your Eternity but I ended up never watching further seasons. Point being, to me that picture raises a lot of questions about what is going on in the plot.

Umamusume Cinderella Gray💓💓💓

So ends 2025. We end with no personal 10/10s for me but a number of excellent entries. This season particularly impressed with my AOTY Shuumatsu Touring, Solo Camping For Two, Ranma, Alma-chan, the eternal Pokémon entry and of course SxF, ImoUza and Watatabe having their moments. I also watched Reze this season which was an impressive entry to my new *I've Seen This In The Cinema* list. Speaking of 10s I did up Love Live Sunshine and 2.5D Seduction from 9.5 to 10 and Nijigasaki from a 6 to a 9.5 but I'm not counting them as I should have known better when I first watched them.


Here's to another great year of anime! 

Well, the series in my Top 5 for the season which continues to be the only one to make it onto the left-hand side of the chart is Gnosia, but it's good to see that it's even there, as high up as it is, and has remained consistently planted.

One of the other better series of this season, A Mangaka's Weirdly Wonderful Workplace, fighting desperately to reach it and almost there. I'm a little surprised it hasn't yet, but perhaps with the season/series finale episode (episode 13) airing this coming Monday and the vacuum left by other series of the season ending. Though then with half the series gone it feels like kind of a hollow victory.

Probably the most surprising development is to see a standard ecchi like Don't Touch Kotesashi shoot up so many places this time, but looks like it's happened to a lot of series previously below the chart now jumping up several places.

And it's sad that even in that environment, series like Shabake and Debu to Love to Ayamachi to! (even for the season/series finale, in case of the latter) couldn't make it in.

Also, now that we're pretty much at the end of it and a few days away from the end of the year, I can say both that autumn was probably the third best season of the year for new series (worse than winter and spring, but better than summer) and that 2025 as a whole in that respect was worse than 2024 and 2023, but better than 2022.

Out of my Top 10 compiled for the year, four series are from spring, three from winter, two from autumn, and one from summer. But I'll see if that changes when I get around to the handful of series I skipped and didn't get around to watching yet.

u/Abysswatcherbel - With next week's reduced entries for the holiday week, are Watanare's specials being restricted to 3 entries or are all 5 eligible? [Schedule is low on episodes I'd expect to get more than 50 karma.](https://www.livechart.me/schedule?date=2025-12-26)

Is Gachiakuta worth watching? I watched it till 4-5 episodes and then dropped.

Week 13 and final week of the Fall 2025 season is the awkward end of the year time between seasons where a bunch of finales for Fall 2025 shows have happened, but it's not the start of the Winter 2026 season yet. For reference, [Week 13 of Fall 2024](https://i.redd.it/hxzpxdv4ps9e1.png) was also under 10k at 9496 karma. So with that in mind and the fact that Fall 2025's biggest karma generator in *My Hero Academia FINAL SEASON* had its finale last week, it shouldn't be surprising that this week's 7823 karma is that low and -3413 karma from last week. Does mean more low karma shows get to show up in the Top 30 this week too (7 in fact).

**Note**: MAL scores this week in the Top 15 are for the most part the same as [last week's chart](https://i.redd.it/ht3ml943ek8g1.png) except for the 3 shows that entered the Top 15 this week in 10th, 13th, and 15th + the *One-Punch Man S3* exception that gets the "honor" of a weekly score update.
___
**SPY x FAMILY S3** moves up +1 spot to 1st with 1273 karma which is +111 karma from last week. 331 comments is +154 comments from last week, 2nd in most comments for an episode thread this week, and a comment to karma ratio of 0.26. An action heavy episode and it doesn't even involve Yor! That would certainly boost numbers and I'm glad I got to see [Nightfall enter her Rage Mode](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/ac7c31e7e59a.png).

**GACHIAKUTA** moves up +2 spots to 2nd for its season finale with 1010 karma which is +201 karma from last week and the final 1k+ karma show of the week. 232 comments is -31 comments from last week, tied for 7th most for the week, and a comment to karma ratio of 0.23. Wasn't sure if this week would have two 1k+ karma shows, but we just cleared it. Happy a S2 is already in the works.

**Umamusume: Cinderella Gray P2** stays at 3rd with 791 karma which is -220 karma from last week. 247 comments is -63 comments from last week, 6th most for the week, and a strong comment to karma ratio of 0.31. This season finale was honestly setup for a future season, but I like the focus on Inari One and the end of Tamamo Cross' story.

**May I Ask For One Final Thing?** rises +6 spots to 4th with 625 karma for its finale which is +259 karma from last week. 297 comments is +106 comments from last week, 3rd most for the week, and a very strong comment to karma ratio of 0.48. Fun show and Julius got two things that were long awaited either by the audience or by him: a relationship with Scarlet and [her fist in his face](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/ae5336850fdc.png) (no gloves though. Going easy on him).

**This Monster Wants to Eat Me** moves up +1 spot to 5th with 578 karma for its finale which is -52 karma from last week. 214 comments is -59 comments from last week, 9th most for the week, and a strong comment to karma ratio of 0.37. Wish the numbers weren't down for the finale, but the big climatic moments were the previous episodes. I can also use the "this episode released on Christmas" excuse. Thankful Hinako can enjoy life just a little bit more than she used to. Really want this to have a Season 2. I need more of [Hinako, Shiori, and Miko](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/1012e2ea5730.png).

**Ranma ½ (2024) S2** moves up +3 spots to 6th with 437 karma which is +38 karma from last week. 93 comments is +11 comments from last week, 20th most for the week, and a comment to karma ratio of 0.21. We end on a wonderful love story between a boy who can turn into a girl and back and a duck. But also it was nice getting [this line from Akane about Ranma](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G853RrmaQAAqsuX?format=jpg&name=orig).

**GNOSIA** moves up +1 spot to 7th with 421 karma which is -40 karma from last week. 209 comments is -178 comments from last week, 10th most for the week, and an incredibly strong comment to karma ratio of 0.50. An SQ focused episode with big revelations and a loop that was really not Gnosia-favored really cratered discussion, but also the previous episode was bigger for that.

**Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill S2** rises +7 spots to 8th with 384 karma which is +81 karma from last week. 187 comments is +57 comments from last week, 11th most for the week, and a comment to karma ratio of 0.49. All the season, the vibes have remained pleasant and chill for this show. I feel a S3 coming.

**SANDA** rises +5 spots to 9th with 369 karma which is +61 karma from last week. 101 comments is +47 comments from last week, 18th most for the week, and a comment to karma ratio of 0.27. We end with the focus on Ono and I'm sad. It also is really leaving you wanting for more despite what happened in this season finale.

**UNDEAD UNLUCK Winter-hen** places 10th with 363 karma (9th was within reach...). 87 comments is 22nd most for the week and a comment to karma ratio of 0.24. This special has been teased for over a year now and it's finally out and really focuses on Billy. MAL score is 7.64. Great final fight and a S2 announcement happened the same day this released. Glad this wasn't a one-off return for *UNDEAD UNLUCK*.

**Isekai Quartet S3** moves up +1 spot to 11th for its finale with 357 karma which is +22 karma from last week. 147 comments is +99 comments from last week, 13th most for the week, and a very strong comment to karma ratio of 0.41. The button...presumably didn't do anything, but Aqua pressing it a bunch of times makes it easy to blame it on her if a bunch of weirdos from different series start showing up. Also like the musical performances from Class 2 and 1 + this power transfer to Kazuma to Subaru to Ainz is personally amusing to me.

**One-Punch Man S3** moves down -1 spot to 12th with 354 karma which is -3 karma from last week. 232 comments is -91 comments from last week, tied for 7th most for the week with *GACHIAKUTA*, and an incredibly strong comment to karma ratio of 0.66. MAL score is **4.37** which is -0.07 from last week. Just one more week on this chart. Hang in there whether it be the show itself or the reactions and discussion about it. Still want to know what the reason is for this being the one show that was Top 15 every week to get a MAL score update every week on the graphics.

**My Gift Lvl 9999 Unlimited Gacha: Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon, I’m Out for Revenge!** rises +5 spots to 13th with 306 karma which is +58 karma from last week. 251 comments is -3 comments from last week, 5th most for the week, and a ridiculously strong comment to karma ratio of 0.82. MAL score check-in is 6.68. The season finale ended with the revenge on Sasha and the elves. And from the looks of it, it was a satisfying revenge.

**To Your Eternity S3** moves down -1 spot to 14th with 296 karma which is -35 karma from last week. 162 comments is +14 comments from last week, 12th most for the week, and an incredibly strong comment to karma ratio of 0.55. Down week for karma, but Fushi's way of getting rid of files in a computer is hilarious. And I don't think he actually got rid of them either.

**My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s** rises +9 spots to 15th for its finale with 259 karma which is +60 karma from last week. 334 comments is +147 comments from last week, 1st in most comments for the week, and an absurd comment to karma ratio of 1.29. MAL score check-in is 6.87. Akira's moral dilemma over the last arc and the resolution to that in this last episode is getting cooked in the thread. But it's still boosting engagement. Look at that comment jump.

**Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider** moves up +3 spots to 16th with 226 karma which is -19 karma from last week. 135 comments is -4 comments from last week, 15th most for the week, and an incredibly strong comment to karma ratio of 0.60. Slightly down week, but we get a confession rejection (with potential to change) and Civilian Futaba who is really fed off with the nonsense.

**A Mangaka’s Weirdly Wonderful Workplace** rises +6 spots to 17th with 220 karma which is +14 karma from last week. 94 comments is +7 comments from last week, 19th most for the week, and a really strong comment to karma ratio of 0.43. Slight boost for this week that's about the importance of networking, but also making the most of chances you do get. Like Futami's book signing event featuring a cameo from the mangaka's other work.

**Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle** moves down -1 spot to 18th with 207 karma which is -44 karma from last week. 92 comments is -12 comments from last week, 21st most for the week, and a really strong comment to karma ratio of 0.44. Slightly down week for numbers as the Yuzuki stalker plot is still progressing (and there were some...interesting Yuzuki scenes this episode too) and also seeing the different dynamic Chitose has with Asuka is nice.

**Wandance** rises +12 spots to 19th with 162 karma which is +31 karma from last week. 76 comments is -13 comments from last week, 23rd most for the week, and a really strong comment to karma ratio of 0.47. This is definitely a show that really heated up in its reception the further it went along and I'm happy the karma boost for the finale gave it a Top 20 finish in the rankings even if it is in the weakest karma week of the year.

**Touring After the Apocalypse** rises +7 spots to 20th with 156 karma which is the same as last week. 136 comments is +76 comments from last week, 14th most for the week, and a ridiculously strong comment to karma ratio of 0.87. Look at this discussion boost with no gain in karma. Yeah, there are no hard confirmations on the mysteries of this show and was more about CGDCT. How much that bothers you may vary.

Dont be sad that its over be happy u got to enjoy the season. Its gonna repeat again next season always has for me

These Assstats... it's over 9000!

It makes me happy to see May I Ask For One Final Thing? ending strong at 4th place. I really hope for another season of it.

Man, as an **Undead Unluck** fan, the Winter Special absolutely delivered. E&H Production was mostly behind it, but I do hope that David Prod gets back on it, though. A joint production between David Prod and E&H Collaboration would be pretty cool to see. As Seong-Hu Park is a very talented director. I am more concerned with E&H Production handling a cour of content because their consistency has been their biggest issue. Pleasantly surprised S2 got announced.

Talking about shows, I finished.

* For my AOTS I have **Cinderella Gray**. If not talking about visuals and animation, it catches the special feeling that S2 gave me. Beginning of a New Era does get great points with its insane production and great story to add on top. It's been fun diving into the UMA anime like I did with BanG Dream last year.
* **Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill Season 2** \- This is such a pure comfort show. Good vibes all around. For me, it's Dungeon Meshi without the high-level storytelling. Sometimes watching feel-good anime hits the right spot.
* **Shabake** \- This is one strange show. It's an incredibly slow burn, but honestly, it had some superb payoff towards the end. A well-done, character-driven story.
* **Spy x Family S3** \- Probably the best season of SxF as the story arcs were great. A big focus on Twilight, but also the themes of war were done very well. I can't wait until S4, but I wonder if they'll put out an anime original movie again.

Futami puddle for chiramune is hilarious

Was a quiet season, and was personally busy IRL so haven't been able to watch much. I was curious about a few smaller shows that were promising early, wanted to see if anyone has feedback on how they've ended/how they're doing so far:

- Tojima Kamen Rider
- Gnosia
- Sanda
- Mangaka workplace
- Star Wars Visions 3
- Monster wants to eat me

I did catch up on a bunch of shows this week and here were my ratings/thoughts:

- AssStats - 4, I could get over the initial shitty writing dip with the elf girl because that's the sort of trash I was ready for with this show, but it just got to be too much by the end, especially how the final episode concluded the final, way too drawn out arc.
- Isekai Quartet 3 - 8. Solid, not too spectacular, didn't find it quite as funny as prev years
- Friend's Little Sister - 7. Another solid entry in its type of haremish romance/comedy/sol/drama show, mostly watched as I had started the manga years ago. Feels like a not as good blend of Nagatoro and Saekano or Pet Girl of Sakurasou.
- May I Ask for One Final Thing? - 7. Another solid but unspectacular entry in Villainess type show. Was fun for a few eps but a little one-note in it's comedy, like Mashle. Not terrible politics/worldbuilding but prefer something like 7th Time Loop.

I enjoy this post every week - in fact, it's the only ranking post I care about. But sometimes my favorites on the right just have part of the promotional art for the banner. Is it because no one has submitted a screenshot from that week's episode? Is there a way I can help submit ones for my favorites?

Damn, no more horse racing girls and gachigasm on my sundays.

Next season has pretty big shoes to fill on sundays.

Surprising that Hands Off beat little Miss vampire.

Little Miss vampire is kind of a fun and floofly SoL.

u/Abysswatcherbel

Any particular reason Cingray's MAL score is linked to the cour 1 score and not cour 2?

**SANDA** moves up +3 spots to the Top 5 at 4th.

Finally, reentering the Top 10 at 10th for its fifth Top 10 appearance of the season is **Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle**. The last time it was in the Top 10 was [Week #4](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G4veV-AaMAA6sgg?format=jpg&name=medium) where it was 9th. On [Week #10](https://www.anitrendz.com/charts/top-anime/2025-12-14), it was 12th so this is a +2 increase from last week.

A shoutout to the shows that went 11/11 in the Fall 2025 Anime of the Week Top 10: *My Hero Academia FINAL SEASON*, *SPY x FAMILY S3*, *SANDA*, *This Monster Wants to Eat Me*, and *Ranma ½ (2024) S2*.

Cute little SQ!

[Gnosia]>!Don't forget about her...!<

One piece is still the best of all time don’t @ me💁🏼‍♀️

Shampoo ofc :D

[deleted]

Inexpressive Kashiwada and Expressive Oota finally made the list**👍**

Holy shit, Lil Miss deserves some love

And Sanda is going to be the most underrated of the season :(

Kingdom needs more love, it is one of my favorite shows and I would hate for it to not continue to get adapted.

God this is just such a weak looking season of anime. With the exception or spy x family, everything either looks like fetish nonsense, knockoffs or just outright boring.

I've only just realized that My Status as an Assassin has been abbreviated as ASSSTATS this whole time.

We are in the twilight weeks between the ending of the current season and beginning of the new one. For me, just one final episode of "Mangaka" remains and then Fall 2025 is done. It wasn't a great season by any means, but there were a few good series as well as Gachiakuta continuing from summer.

Next season OTOH looks awesome. Hell, I've probably picked too many anime for winter and would be wiser to postpone some of them...

I'm glad to see Gachiakuta end off above 1k, at least.

I hope next anime season we get something good 🥀

You know it's the end of the season when you see less than 100 karma threads making it to the chart. Hey at least Kingdom, Digimon, Kashiwada-Oota, Kotesashi and Lil Miss Vampire made the chart at least.

*looks at karma rankings*


So uhhh...


What? I have not been looking in on these threads because I dropped every single anime except gacha this season and am waiting on the dubs.


But... this is literally the lowest I have ever seen. Double digit karma ratings in the top 30?


Dafuq? I know this season was bad but... WOW.
