I've gone through nyaa.si and found all the final episodes that were released in the last two weeks, and summed up the successful downloads for each subgroup. This gives us a ranking of anime by nyaa download. Note that this biases against casuals by requiring a series to be finished, but the big three are of course still well represented. However, because the demographic is different from that of the absolute pleb sites like MAL or Crunchyroll, we do see seasonal anime such as Abyss not only reaching but breaking into those numbers.
I'm downloading tons of (fansubbed) staff from nyaa right now and fucking 10-50% of IPs belong to russia, china, japan, korea, UAE and such countries. Do you count it as "Western popularity" too?

>>knights and magic 5th place Now if only we can have a season 2, I need more fantasy mech building autism in my life.
Ernie is the best mecha protagonist of the past decade.

> and summed up the successful downloads for each subgroup > Hina Logic – From Luck & Logic > 31 Come on nigga, how is this even possible?
Parker Russell
Truly Teekyuu is too intelligent for common men.
Jackson Peterson
>Symphogear THAT far down How?
Wyatt Adams
Because the release of the last episode fell outside of my time window. It goes up to 1522 if I extend my time window to the 17th. Re-Creators also fell outside of my window.
Charles Hall
Because it has been shit for years.
Cooper Myers
These are subs only and most people rather watch raws than Commie.
John Morales
It's something to be thankful for. Just imagine if the threads were flooded with Jojoshitters and narutards, on top of the usual autism.
Kayden Garcia
>top 9 anime titles are absolute subhuman trash.
Even mal is better, you faggot.
Ayden Foster
Probably because the latest release was very recent. It could easily be three or four places higher, otherwise. In fact the number has already risen to 3261 since I compiled the list.
Tyler Peterson
>>top 9 Good taste
Anthony Peterson
Why don't you just kill yourself?
Nolan Thomas
I extended the timeline back to the 16th, which added Hina Logi, Re:Creators, and Keppeki Danshi to the list. Same link for the pastebin.
Josiah Miller
I'm sure a lot of people use VPN's
Levi Ward
Not many people in their right mind would download p2p through VPN. Although there are some extremely shitty countries out there I guess.
Justin Reyes
A large portion of nyaa users are from japan. This list is pointless as a reference for western tastes.
Justin Phillips
It's collected specifically from the English-translated section.
Thomas Brooks
Because it's fucking trash.
Thomas Miller
>nyaa popularity = western popularity user...
Jaxon Bennett
Had no idea Knights & Magic was that popular. Was it actually good?
Jackson Parker
Name one bad thing that would happen if South America was nuked, I can't think of any
Nolan Torres
In huezil it's: 1) Dragon Ball Super 2) Boruto 3) BnHA
Justin Davis
>However, because the demographic is different from that of the absolute pleb sites like MAL or Crunchyroll, we do see seasonal anime such as Abyss not only reaching but breaking into those numbers. I take it you're not aware that MiA is the new big thing on MAL? Anyhow, it's nice to know that the best shounen series in years took the #1 spot, even if this adaptation was far from flawless.
Ethan Wilson
>43 Yu-Hi-Oh! VRAINS 3705 >68 Pokémon Sun & Moon 329 I'm surprised there's such a gap there. Is Sun & Moon not a popular season?
Charles Young
Regardless if it is, the subs are behind, other subs that do it don't upload to nyaa.
Thomas Thompson
>However, because the demographic is different from that of the absolute pleb sites like MAL or Crunchyroll Really? Because it doesn't look like it.
Connor Mitchell
>knights & magic that high Very surprising
Elijah Hall
Top 4 aren't surprising at all. The gap between BNHA and DBS is a bit though.
Bentley Green
I was disappointed that this wasn't animated, so I stood on my spinny chair and span around a few times.
Adam Roberts
Maybe DBS is holding back to conserve energy.
William Ross
>Sakura Quest not as low as I was expecting
Suddenly my faith in Sup Forums increased just a little
Bentley Anderson
>Western popularity Uh, you know most of the traffic for nyaa comes from Japan, right?
Austin Stewart
I didn't realize so many people watched Knights & Magic.
Jeremiah Price
>knights and magic nani
Jacob Myers
power of traps. the west loves degenerate shit like that
Grayson Cooper
just to debunk this shitty list: big anime get more attention and therefore more sub groups start to sub it which means there's automatically a wider range and spread. I bet my virginity on it, that there are more sub groups involved for the first 5 anime than the rest. also I can confirm, since I'm part of the German fan sub community, that the biggest fan sub sites don't use nyaa bc of the attention they could get.
