A little change of chart, maybe more accurate for English-speaking audiences.
p.s. I'm posting this 3 days after this was first published, so some shows' numbers may not reflect the quality of the most recent episode.

Solo Leveling and Freiren continue their well deserved top spots.
I'm shocked at how popular Mashle continues to be on both this chart and even moreso on the JP Twitter chart.
Does anyone here watch it?
Shangri-La goes up 4 places. I hear it's getting really good, but I haven't watched any of it. What's so interesting?
Metallic Rouge up 6. What happened there?
Ishura up 7. Someone said this was about the week they're finally done with all the character intros and now they're on to the actual story. No idea myself as I gave up on this in week 1.
Mr. Villain down 4. Nooooooo! Please save this wonderful show!!!
Blue Exorcist down 5. Not following this one, what happened?
Shangri-la, killer opening, healthy depiction of Otaku and gamers in general. Well written, it treats the audience like they know things about games instead of explaining things at a beginner level (like every other gaming/isekai anime). The fights are beautifully animated/choreographed, and the concept is pretty unique. Instead of some rando being incredibly OP due to some niche expertise, Sunraku/Hizutome is just really freaking good at games. Also, based on NPC dialog, there's a deeper mystery to the game and the show takes the proper time to let that unfold instead of info-dumping at the earliest opportunity.
Great explanation. Glad to see it up on the chart. I've really enjoyed Shangri-la a lot more than I expected. Sunraku's bird head and attire kind of worried me in the PV, was afraid it might be too much, but it works.
I only just started season 2 of Mashle yesterday but I've read the whole thing and love it. It's goofy fun and the anime captures the vibe perfectly.
Also the new OP is the most aggressive earworm I've ever encountered. My brain has been on a BLING BANG BANG BLING BANG BANG BLING BANG BANG BORN loop for, like, 20 hours now.
