Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Fails to Make the Cut: Not among the 10 Most-Watched Anime on Japanese TV

Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 fails to eclipse a 2.8 household rating in latest Kanto region Video Research statistics

The ratings also do not take into account delayed viewings, and the data is limited to households in Japan's Kanto region. This is a surprising statistic for Jujutsu Kaisen season 2, particularly in light of the recent controversy over its production schedule.

The latest

Based on the statistics mentioned, Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 dropped out of the top 10 ratings due to surprising competition in the latest week. The bottom three series in the recent ratings were Spy x Family season 2, Crayon Shin-chan, and Soaring Sky! Pretty Cure. Following them were One Piece, Firefighter Daigo: Rescuer in Orange, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, Doraemon, Chibi Maruko-chan, Detective Conan, and Sazae-san. These ratings are for the week of Monday, November 13 to Sunday, November 19 in Japan. Ratings for the following week are not available at the time of writing.

It’s puzzling why these shows surpassed Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 for the top ten spots, especially with the limited data sample. Perhaps the shows were simply not as popular in the Kanto region this week compared to others in the top ten. This could be the case for shows like Soaring Sky! Pretty Cure, Crayon Shin-chan, and Spy x Family season 2, given their lower ranking.

However, comparing the rankings of series such as One Piece and Firefighter Daigo: Rescuer in Orange against the second season of the Jujutsu Kaisen anime proves to be a more challenging task. While the latter is a popular new anime series, the former is a weekly anime currently at a relatively uneventful stage in its airing. As a result, it is evident that both series did not make the top 10 rankings in the Video Research statistics within the specified timeframe.

Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z netizen, I have mixed feelings about Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 failing to make the cut for the top 10 most-watched anime on Japanese TV. On the one hand, I'm disappointed that the show didn't receive the recognition it deserves. After all, Jujutsu Kaisen is a well-made anime with an engaging story and lovable characters. On the other hand, I'm not surprised by the results. The competition this season was tough, with many other popular anime airing at the same time.

Overall, I think Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 is still a great show, and I'm excited to see what happens next. I hope that the show will continue to gain popularity in the future, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a third season.
