Anime Data Award, a podcast/show that provides live streams & introduce various data, based on viewership of each anime season (usually by mid-season)

• Ages 13 to 19 (Males & Females combined as "T")
• Ages 20 to 34 (Males as "M1"; Females as "F1")
• Ages 35 to 49 (Males as "M2"; Females as "F2")
• Ages 50+ (Males as "M3"; Females as "F3")

-----

Summarized points:

• TenSura top each age groups on average of Male & Female viewers.
• TenSura top the category for "ongoing" series; fellow Nippon TV anime, Snowball Earth, topped "new work" series.
• TenSura placed high (top 5 of 30 listed) on reservation or pre-ordered episodes (as in before the episode is released, the demand to reserve it is purchased by the viewer(s).
• TenSura's fan "up-lift points" vs fan "contact rate %" are mostly from isekai or reincarnation genre viewers (ReZero, TBATE, Farming in another world, Reborn as a vending machine, etc). However, it is not consistent when considering the reverse. They brought this up when talking about the other anime titles and where TenSura viewers are placed. They are outside of the "red box". Basically TenSura fan/viewers would watch a wide variety of anime genre and not just isekais. This indicates that the average TenSura fan or viewer are representative of a wider general public.

Keep in mind that these data are strictly TV viewership only and not streaming platform viewers. Combining the data would probably strengthen the numbers even more.
