Gushing has been charging up all the charts since the season started. Episode 1 was a big shock I think to even the source readers since they turned the ecchi up even compared to the manga. However, leaning into it seems to be paying dividends with attention. By contrast, Chained Soldier has toned it down a bit and has been languishing further down a lot of charts.
I’m an anime only watcher and that sure mirrors my experience. I’ll say it helps that Gushing feels like it’s got a lot of heart beyond the ecchi, while Chained Soldier just feels really bland. I’ve heard the latter hardly does the source material justice so maybe I’ll check it out 🤔
