Jaadugar Crowns AniTrendz Summer Week 4, Dethroning Mushoku Tensei

Summer 2026 just got a new chart king. On Anime Trending’s Week 4 Top Anime poll (posted August 2), Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia — Science SARU’s adaptation of Tomato Soup’s historical manga — vaulted to No. 1, shoving longtime favorite Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 3 down a notch after weeks of dominance.

The keywords and chart recap put a stacked podium behind the court-intrigue drama: The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You Season 3, You and I Are Polar Opposites, Though I Am an Inept Villainess, and Saga of Tanya the Evil II all hovered in the upper tier, while the newly premiered Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War – The Calamity cracked the broader conversation without claiming the AniTrendz crown.

That surge is no one-poll fluke. Anime News Network’s reader episode rankings for late July also crowned Jaadugar both weekly episode champ and cumulative summer leader through July 28, with Saga of Tanya the Evil II and the new Ghost in the Shell series close behind — a rare double-consensus that a prestige original is out-cooking sequels.

With Week 5 voting already open on AniTrendz and mid-season heat still building, the question is whether the witch of the Mongol court can hold the throne once more powerhouse episodes land. For now, Sitara and Töregene’s revenge saga is the show fans are scoring highest.
