The Winter 2024 anime rankings are complete, and the spring season has begun. Time flies, and we at Anime Corner have completed our final seasonal ranking calculations for the previous season. The Dangers in My Heart Season 2 received the most votes, with over 62,000 people participating. It is followed by Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End and Ragna Crimson.
From January 5, 2024 to March 29, 2024, Anime Corner conducted weekly polls to gather community feedback and rank weekly episode releases, followed by a final “Anime of the Season” poll from March 29 to April 5, 2024. Throughout the process, our polls gathered information from 62,120 people; our findings are based on the total amount of data collected.
From Week 1 to Week 12, we polled weekly, followed by the aforementioned “Anime of the Season” (Winter 2024 AOTS) poll. The final poll results accounted for 55% of the weight in the score ranking, with the remaining 45% coming from weekly poll results. The 45 percent weight is distributed over a 12-week period, and the results are combined to create the list.
We chose a weighted ranking to ensure a more balanced final result.
We’ve taken steps to reduce spam and data duplication while maintaining data integrity, such as logging each user’s IP address and allowing only one vote per option per IP address per poll.
