Wistoria: Wand and Sword Season 2 claimed the top spot for the first time this season, receiving 9.64% of the vote and dethroning Witch Hat Atelier, which had been number one the previous week. Witch Hat Atelier fell to second place with 7.58%, while Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 4 took third with 7.35%. My Hero Academia: More entered the poll this week and landed in fifth place with 5.09%, just behind Daemons of the Shadow Realm at 5.10%. The rest of the top ten included I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class, Classroom of the Elite IV, Dr. Stone: Science Future Part 3, The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten Season 2, and Gals Can't Be Kind to Otaku!? The full ranking spans 62 titles, with Onegai AiPri at the bottom receiving 0.12% of the vote. Anime Corner runs the poll weekly throughout the season, and voting for week six is now open.","whyItMatters":"Wistoria's rise to the top reflects a shift in viewer attention away from the season's most anticipated premiere, Witch Hat Atelier, as the middle weeks of the cour test which shows sustain momentum.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe Anime Corner weekly poll is a fan-voted ranking that draws thousands of participants each week, offering a snapshot of which series generate the most enthusiasm among the voting audience. This week's results show a significant shake-up in the top three, with Wistoria: Wand and Sword Season 2 climbing from its previous position to unseat Witch Hat Atelier, which had held the lead for several weeks. Re:ZERO Season 4 remained a strong contender, holding steady in third place. The entry of My Hero Academia: More at number five suggests that its latest episode resonated strongly with voters, though it did not break into the top four. Lower in the rankings, series like Marriagetoxin (11th), Always a Catch! (16th), and Go For It, Nakamura! (45th) show the wide spread of titles that attract niche but active followings. The poll's full list of 62 titles includes many continuing series and new adaptations, with vote shares tapering sharply after the top ten. Anime Corner encourages readers to vote in future polls, which are held weekly for the duration of the season.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWistoria: Wand and Sword Season 2\u003c/strong\u003e: 9.64% of votes, 1st place\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWitch Hat Atelier\u003c/strong\u003e: 7.58% of votes, 2nd place\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRe:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 4\u003c/strong\u003e: 7.35% of votes, 3rd place\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDaemons of the Shadow Realm\u003c/strong\u003e: 5.10% of votes, 4th place\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMy Hero Academia: More\u003c/strong\u003e: 5.09% of votes, 5th place\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eI Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class\u003c/strong\u003e: 3.39% of votes, 6th place\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassroom of the Elite IV\u003c/strong\u003e: 2.95% of votes, 7th place\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Stone: Science Future Part 3\u003c/strong\u003e: 2.76% of votes, 8th place\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten Season 2\u003c/strong\u003e: 2.58% of votes, 9th place\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGals Can't Be Kind to Otaku!?\u003c/strong\u003e: 2.05% of votes, 10th place\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarriagetoxin\u003c/strong\u003e: 2.01% of votes, 11th place\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Ramparts of Ice\u003c/strong\u003e: 1.97% of votes, 12th place\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAgents of the Four Seasons\u003c/strong\u003e: 1.94% of votes, 13th place\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThat Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 4\u003c/strong\u003e: 1.85% of votes, 14th place\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAishiteru Game wo Owarasetai\u003c/strong\u003e: 1.67% of votes, 15th place\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlways a Catch!: How I Punched My Way into Marrying a Prince\u003c/strong\u003e: 1.59% of votes, 16th place\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYowayowa Teacher\u003c/strong\u003e: 1.53% of votes, 17th place\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMission: Yozakura Family Season 2\u003c/strong\u003e: 1.50% of votes, 18th place\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAkane-banashi\u003c/strong\u003e: 1.49% of votes, 19th place\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne Piece\u003c/strong\u003e: 1.45% of votes, 20th place\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMistress Kanan is Devilishly Easy\u003c/strong\u003e: 1.39% of votes, 21st place\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Warrior Princess and the Barbaric King\u003c/strong\u003e: 1.36% of votes, 22nd place\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAce of Diamond Act II Season 2\u003c/strong\u003e: 1.35% of votes, 23rd place\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKill Blue\u003c/strong\u003e: 1.34% of votes, 24th place\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBotan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk\u003c/strong\u003e: 1.27% of votes, 25th place\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNippon Sangoku: The Three Nations of the Crimson Sun\u003c/strong\u003e: 1.25% of votes, 26th place\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWelcome to Demon School!
