Re:ZERO Season 4 Climbs to Top of Summer 2026 Anime Rankings with Episode 13
Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 4 has topped Anime Corner's summer 2026 anime rankings in the 7th week. The series rose to first place on the list after the release of episode 13, once again proving its strong fan base.
Written by Tappei Nagatsuki and illustrated by Shinichirou Otsuka, Re:ZERO began publishing online on Shōsetsuka ni Narō in 2012. The work became a light novel series under the MF Bunko J label in 2014, and in 2016 it was adapted into an anime by White Fox. The story follows Subaru Natsuki, who is summoned to another world and uses his ability to return by death to solve the tragedies he encounters by reliving them. The series quickly became one of the most beloved examples of the isekai genre.
The first season aired in 2016; the second season was shown in two halves in 2020-2021. The third season began in October 2024 and concluded in 2025. The fourth season continues the story from where it left off, bringing events especially familiar to light novel readers to the screen. Its rise to first place in Anime Corner's weekly rankings shows that the season is being enjoyed by both existing fans and new viewers.
Anime Corner's weekly rankings are determined by reader votes on the episodes aired that week. Re:ZERO's rise to first place with episode 13 shows that the episode left a strong impact on fans. It is noted that the series had also been in the upper ranks in previous weeks, and this week it took the top spot.
It is a matter of curiosity how the story will progress in the upcoming episodes of the fourth season. Re:ZERO is especially known for the emotional and psychological conflicts Subaru experiences; this season is also expected to deliver unforgettable moments to fans. This rise in the rankings shows that the series continues to solidify its place in the anime world.
