How this is measured
Pre-air buzz uses the same weights as the Buzz Score — 75% YouTube, 25% AniList — but compares shows only against the rest of this season. Only videos published in the last 12 months count, so a sequel can't ride on views its earlier seasons collected years ago. Titles with fewer than 1,000 AniList members aren't ranked, which stops a single viral short from topping the list. Premiere dates come from AniList and can shift. Data refreshed 2026-09-28.
