There are many ways to measure the popularity of streaming services in Japan, but one of the main ones is to check cumulative views through two of the main streaming services in the country: ABEMA TV and Niconico. Both platforms allow you to see the number of reproductions accumulated by a series as a wholeso it is about “real numbers“, unlike those that are achieved with surveys carried out by services such as GEM Partners (and that unfortunately some media share as “objective data”, even though they are not).
Anyway, The fans then add up the cumulative views on both services and share a ranking where we can find out which are the true series that are having the most success on the two main streaming services in Japan. (although we remember that we are not contemplating other services such as Amazon Prime Video or Netflix, which unfortunately do not reveal the number of accumulated reproductions):
