Hello Anime Fans! Here we are with a new article for you. In this article, we are going to cover the Best summer 2024 anime ranking. This data is collected by Anime News Network. For more, you can check their original article, “Your Anime Rankings .”
The ranks they give to these anime are based on how people rated individual episodes of the current season, not on the overall quality or popularity of the series.
