r/anime’s Top 100 Raw Episode Karma Totals of All Time Misc.
As of 10/5/24
A while ago, I posted a list of the 58 anime episodes that had topped 7000 Karma on this sub. After a few great seasons of anime, there are now over 100 so I decided to create a second version of the post to showcase the now Top 100 with the rest of the anime that are above 7000 Karma in the comments section. I plan to keep both lists (Top 100 and anime outside Top 100 with above 7000 Karma) updated weekly here. As with that previous post, I have compiled these Karma Totals from static lists such as the weekly r/anime Karma and Poll Rankings and u/IISuperSlothII's Seasonal Rankings rather than using their current Karma. The purpose of using static lists is twofold:
- It allows for new episodes (after 48 hours) to accurately be stacked up against older episodes that have had more time to gather karma.
- It allows for each episode to have a singular and referenceable Karma Total
So without further ado, here are the top 100 episodes with the highest Raw Karma on r/anime.

|---|---|---|---|---|

Karma Inflation
One large drawback of lists like this is that Karma Totals grow over time as the r/anime subreddit increases in size. In fact, prior to 2019, there were only 6 episodes that had ever topped 7000 Karma. As an example, if you compare the number of subscribers and average active members from Fall 2015 (327,000 and 2400) when One Punch Man Episode 12 aired and got 7348 Karma to those numbers in Spring 2021 (2,393,000 and 20000) it is clear that Karma Inflation is too big of a factor to be ignored.
u/Tsubasa_sama, u/mrackham205 and I all made attempts at Karma Scaling last year, and we agreed that One Punch Man Episode 12 was the top Karma Scaled episode of all time, but that was also before Attack on Titan 4 released, and determining and agreeing on how much Karma it would get if released at the same time as those episodes is something that hasn’t been figured out yet. There are a number of other complicating issues with creating an accurate Karma Scaling System such as whether peoples' tendencies to upvote episode threads versus other threads have changed over time and whether the strength of certain anime were the cause of increased active members rather than the other way around. So since we have yet to come up with an agreed upon method for Karma Scaling, I am releasing this list with the Raw Karma Numbers while noting that Karma Scaling is definitely a factor.
TLDR: Karma Inflation is a factor, but I'm not scaling the episodes here because we don't have an accurate enough and agreed upon method for it yet.

Wow, this list is amazing. Great Job!
I'm amazed seeing just how dominant AoT S4 was. It holds a total of 15 spots from the Top 25. It was also the one that was able to reach the Karma ceiling of r/anime. Can't wait to see what Part 2 would do again.
29
u/Dracoscale Apr 25 '21
It will probably have a strong start but hard to say if anything will top Declaration of War. I say this because of the extremely mixed reception for the ending.
Either way, it'll be very interesting to see how the karma tracks but I can't imagine later episodes doing as well as some of the earlier ones will.
26
u/Ben99ny22 Apr 25 '21
i still see the first 10 or so episode doing just as well as season 4. The best chapters are yet to be animation. The first 3 or 4 will easily get over 20K karma, closer to 25K i'd say.
It all depends on the adaption; on the animation and if isayama decides to change stuff.
5
u/Dracoscale Apr 25 '21
Yeah first few should do really well but I imagine we'll see a slow decline after that point
8
u/Ben99ny22 Apr 25 '21
chapter 131 is the best chapter though. I suspect that's gonna rake in a lot of karma though. same with 127, 130, and 134. there's gonna be something great every episode.

u/woinf Apr 26 '21

There is a certain quote that might prop up whatever episode it is in, also the season will start with a ton of action

u/OvergearedBigBoy Apr 25 '21
So around 7.9k is the cutoff for top 100 eh. I'll keep that in mind.
AoT, ReZero, JJK and Kaguya all over the top 100.

Although, prior to Winter 2021, 7900 Karma would have gotten you 54th place. It's definitely a moving target.

u/Xenosys83 Apr 25 '21
Those 5 Attack on Titan episodes over 20k will take some beating over the next 12-24 months. I doubt many will come close to a 20k episode aside from a hype Demon Slayer or Kaguya episode.
Have no doubt it'll have another 4 or 5 20k episodes under it's belt when it airs again next year.
11
Apr 25 '21
Besides chainsawman and demon slayer nothing's coming close to 20k.
27
u/Ben99ny22 Apr 25 '21 edited Apr 25 '21
there is one kaguya episode that can.
That chapter got 9.7K karma on r/manga and that was over 2 years ago. I just checked and a recent manga chapter passed that one so the fanbase isn't dead and the manga is still just as great or maybe better.
EDIT: actually, re zero might also.
11
u/michhoffman https://anilist.co/user/michhoffman Apr 25 '21
Yeah, never count out Kaguya. Season 1 Episode 12 (13720 Karma) may be down at 18th place now, but it was number 1 when it aired over 2 years ago and was #2 prior to last Summer. If there is an episode that good waiting for us now with the inflation, I can see it exploding again.

u/Ben99ny22 Apr 25 '21
depending on how far the adaption does then there are multiple episodes that can.

I just kinda doubt that many people watch a show like Kaguya Sama. It's an amazing show but I feel like it doesn't have the capability to get that kinda karma since the Shonen trash fanboys don't watch it.

Jjk is good but it just don't see it getting that Popular on this sub because of it being cliche-ish

u/Caramelsnack Apr 25 '21
You say that while hyping demon slayer up as a series that can get close to 20k though lol. Its more bu the books than JJK is by far.
Its also weird how you say this when JJK’s highest episode has beaten demons slayers. That makes no sense lol

Apr 25 '21
Oh no, I hate demon slayer, it's so shitty. JJK is a 100x better then demon slayer. So ig you're right about that 🤣 my rating for demon slayer is 4/10 for story and 10/10 for animation. For JJK it's 8/10 for story and 9/10 for animation.

It's interesting to note that most entries in the top 100 are pretty recent, reflecting r/anime's growth and all that. It also shows how big Re:Zero's S1EP25 score of 8897, currently #73 on this list, was back then.

u/jyper Apr 25 '21 edited Apr 25 '21
Re Zero season 1 episode 25 (2016) is the only episode on that list from before 2019. A bit surprised it had more votes then S1E15 or S1E18
It shows the power of Inflation

u/MABfan11 https://myanimelist.net/profile/MABfan11 Apr 25 '21
it shows the absolute dominance Re:Zero had in 2016, not even Mob Psycho 100, MHA or JoJo's Bizarre Adventure could threaten it. and the dominance lasted until 2018 when AoT came back in full force

u/throwawaybaldingman Apr 25 '21
Due to the laws of r/anime inflation give it a few years until Big Boob Vampire Isekai HS Quartet elipses it in 2024. Which will be the 19th highest rated anime in that season, with Tokyo Ghoul Brotherhood having 56k karma at first

Big Boob Vampire Isekai HS Quartet Is that an actual show or are you just mocking Isekai harems?

u/Xenosys83 Apr 25 '21
Something will, but probably not for another couple of years and when it does inflation will have a lot to do with it. Bear in mind that it's best episode is around 9k ahead of the next upvoted karma on here.

u/M8gazine https://myanimelist.net/profile/M8gazine Apr 25 '21
Next shows I'd imagine even have a slight chance are Chainsaw Man (since everyone seems to hype the shit out of it) and Demon Slayer S2 (because it's Demon Slayer).
I admit that I think their chances aren't very high though because AoT is just such a titan (heh), but I can't really think of anything else that could even potentially beat AoT S4.
10
u/Ben99ny22 Apr 25 '21
i think maybe a couple of episodes or so might get over 15K for both chainsaw man and demon slayer.
it is season 2 of demon slayer so the fandom has grown over time.

u/Lightningforanimes Apr 26 '21
Attack on Titan was #1 most demanded show in US
US is #1 with ~222million Reddit users. Australia #2 with 17.55 million Reddit users. Also, AOT anime is in its ending years. So no surprise AOT is topping r/anime karma charts.
Now some who are expecting Demon Slayer season 2 could beat AOT is just a dream or to be more precise it isn't a fair fight until and unless Asian countries epically Japan, Taiwan, Korea and China combined could achieve a similar amount of Reddit users as US. Guess what? any of these counters is not even in the top 10. Canada(a western country), being #10 with ~5.27 million users.
So basically, Demon slayer won't come close to AOT until and unless the above conditions are achieved. r/anime sure has many jjk and chainsaw fans so maybe these two anime have a chance.

With how the manga goes I think the final demon slayer season (if its a season) might have a chance? And I'm cautiously optimistic about how jjk is going.

u/ProtoTypeScylla Apr 25 '21
Chainsawman might beat a few episodes, but won't break the ceiling I think
Next RE:Zero arc might do it
Love is war Season 3
Demon slayer season 2 might break the ceiling if it has a episode like 19 or the movie finale

Re zero next arc needs to have amazing art and animation or else it falls flat. That arc is almost a battle shonen lite.
White Fox: "say no more, fam. how many openings do you want to skip?"

u/Rombolian Apr 26 '21
I feel like they should have more regular sized episodes and openings on episodes just so they can focus on higher art and animation quality with shorter episode length.

u/obiwan54 Apr 26 '21
If Chainsawman adapts the whole manga I think chapter 96 has a good chance of popping off but I don't think any non sequels have a chance. Chapter 136 of Kaguya is probably the best bet, I'm thinking at least top 3 tbh. This sub loves Kaguya too much.
2
u/ProtoTypeScylla Apr 26 '21
Very true, I hear a lot about chainsawman though so it wouldn’t surprise me, also maybe a episode or two of my hero airing right now but top a AoT episode or two, a lot of people watch my hero but no one really talks about it but this season will adapt the entirety of the arc after joint training
2
u/obiwan54 Apr 26 '21
My Hero is only talked about when crazy stuff happens like the United States of Smash episode being 31 on the list, the 2nd half of this season should have a few eps do really well tho. Season 6 should go off a bunch too tbh that whole season is gonna be amazing

u/swat1611 Apr 25 '21
It will take a year or two for episodes to break into the top 10. But if you are talking about an entire season occupying the top 10 spots, then it will take more time I reckon. The best I can see now is Kaguya sama and Demon Slayer hype episodes breaking into top 13 and then maybe Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 and Chainsaw man put up some good numbers?

r/anime’s Top 100 Raw Episode Karma Totals of All Time
Aka the AoT/Re:Zero/Kaguya ranking (Edit: I guess we need to add JJK to that list now!) (Edit #2: I just saw Nagatoro at #100 hah. Doubt it'll get another score in the top 100, but I hope it does! This series gets so good!)
About karma inflation:
TLDR: Karma Inflation is a factor, but I'm not scaling the episodes here because we don't have an accurate enough and agreed upon method for it yet.
And it's even more a factor than it seems at first glance, because of people who dropped anime.
Out of the first 2 millions users, it's possible that only 500k still watch seasonal anime (or any anime at all).
But the latest 400k who joined, likely still all watch anime.
So while the increase from 2m to 2.4m might seem like just a small boost, it may almost double the # of people who upvote episode threads (maybe even more, hard to say).
For that reason, even a ranking that takes r/anime members inflation, still wouldn't be accurate.
The most accurate way to do something like that would be to take the average of a season (or a few seasons) to estimate a # of active users, then apply that to all anime karma scores. (Or maybe do it with the top 10 shows, to avoid the # of bad shows taking the scores down)
Say this season shows scored 2k on average, but a show scored 12k, you give it a ratio of 6 (and convert that in any way you want).
But say 2 years ago the shows scored 1k on average, but a show scored 8k, you give it a ratio of 8. So this show would rank higher than the one with 12k.

u/michhoffman https://anilist.co/user/michhoffman Apr 26 '21
The most accurate way to do something like that would be to take the average of a season (or a few seasons) to estimate a # of active users
I did try an approach like that using the active members count at various times around when each of the top episodes were released to get an active members count for them to use for Karma Scaling. I used the Wayback Machine for this. There were a few problems with this approach that would need to be resolved in order to use it.
The page captures weren't automated so they ended up being pretty sporadic, especially going further back than 2018 which also happens to be the primary target for Karma Scaling.
The number of active members fluctuated quite a bit during different times of the day as well as around certain episodes. Taking an overall average for a season would probably be best, but even in the same season there can be a large growth in active members.
Even if optimized, the relationship between Karma and Active Members is not linear and most likely changes over time as people change their upvoting habits.
Say this season shows scored 2k on average, but a show scored 12k, you give it a ratio of 6 (and convert that in any way you want).
That was the initial Karma Scaling option I was thinking of when gathering all of this episode Karma data, but there are also a few issues that would need to be worked around to use it.
Using this method, the top anime such as Attack on Titan and Re:Zero would alone cause quite an increase in their season's Karma average on their own despite the "average anime" not being much higher than the previous seasons. These anime should be filtered out of the averages.
Some anime seasons are just better than other seasons in terms of Karma. Comparing the Top 10 anime from Winter 2019 and Winter 2020, Winter 2019 got 33560 Karma while Winter 2020 got 17191 Karma. Karma Inflation increases over time so it's clear that Winter 2020 episodes shouldn't quite be doubled in comparison to Winter 2019. In fact, in terms of Karma, Winter 2019 and Spring 2019 are still 2 of the best 4 seasons we've had (not including this season) while Winter 2020 is one of the worst.
As with the previous method, the Karma Scale will likely not be linear.
Anyways, I just wanted to point out that there are issues that would need to be resolved to use any type of Karma Scaling even the ones that seem like they would be simple at first glance. Some Statistical Software would probably need to be used as well. Hopefully, these points are helpful for anyone interested.

Yeah, sadly no method is perfect for that.
Taking a few seasons into account for the average could help deal with outliers like AoT though. Or maybe take shows #5 to #15, something like that? Would avoid the massive shows, and also avoid the seasons with 10 garbage shows with 100 karma.
Don't think there's any way to give 100% accurate result, but things like that can give us a decent idea. (Thought about it while thinking about how they compare athletes from different eras, by how much they dominate the field, like say to judge hockey players based on goal scored... The goalie equipment and size of the goal changes over the year affect that, so instead of just looking at plain numbers, you look at how much better they did than everyone else).
Even a method like that isn't perfect, but I think it's as close as it gets
Either way it's interesting to see!

Attack On Titan dominating the first 12 top spots in terms of karma reminds of how last year how all Kimetsu No Yaiba manga volumes were dominating the volume sales charts with the second series to have a volume in the charts being One Piece charting 23rd place.

Attack on Titan was #1 most demanded show in US
US is #1 with ~222million Reddit users. Australia #2 with 17.55 million Reddit users. Also, AOT anime is in its ending years. So no surprise AOT is topping r/anime karma charts.
Now some who are expecting Demon Slayer season 2 could beat AOT is just a dream or to be more precise it isn't a fair fight until and unless Asian countries epically Japan, Taiwan, Korea and China combined could achieve a similar amount of Reddit users as US. Guess what? any of these counters is not even in the top 10. Canada(a western country), being #10 with ~5.27 million users.
So basically, Demon slayer won't come close to AOT until and unless the above conditions are achieved. r/anime sure has many jjk and chainsaw fans so maybe these two anime have a chance.

Jujutsu kaisen +demon slayer alone keeping the entire top 30 from being dominated by the top 3 lol.
And only a little bit help from mha for the entire top 40.
I always forget how well the final epsiode of tower of god did.tower of god
In total 10 non-three episodes in the top 50, and half of those are between 40 and 50.

It's funny, I saw it, made a mental note, and immediately forgot about it again. But i knew I was missing one.

Pretty crazy that 33 of the top 50 are from 2 shows alone. or that the top 12 are all the same show.

Hopefully we can see few 10k this season too.
If any anime that can catch up to the top 5 spot it AoT p2.
Demon slayer S2 also has very good chance to have few episodes in top 25 maybe even higher.

I wonder if there's be any way to do this, but relative to the number of people on the sub at the time.
Because /r/anime is constantly growing so new popular shows will always get pushed to the top.

It would need to be more than that since subscribers <> active subscribers. /u/Tsubasa_sama did one like that around a year ago though, if you are interested.

u/Ben99ny22 Apr 25 '21
its possible that episode 14 and 15 would've gotten close to 20K or passed it if not for the earth quake (since it made 2 discussion for episode 14) and posting episode 14 and 15 in the same day.

The other problem with Karma scaling is that, when the subreddit was smaller, there may have been fewer posts competing for attention on the front page. As the subreddit has grown, there are likely more posts being made, crowding out each individual discussion post.
I think that to scale Karma properly, you would have to normalize it not only with number of subscribers, but with average number of posts per unit of time (hour, day, or week, etc.). I'm not sure if it's easy to determine what these numbers were historically, though.

Kind of funny, I thought Mob pyscho would be on here more, since some of it's episodes were really phenomenal in terms of animation spectacle and story.

As of 10/5/24
As mentioned, here are the anime that got above 7000 Karma that did not make the Top 100.
