Engagement
A typical post picks up 986 interactions against 2.2M followers, an engagement rate of 0.045%. Measured over 284 original posts, its engagement rate beats 72% of 3,739 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 47K times each, and 2.11% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.12% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 12.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 53% of days. Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 284 posts sampled, 99% carry an image or video and 21% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 41K interactions, about 42x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Anime Updates's engagement rate beats 72% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 77% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 10:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

The day before Hayden Panettiere passed away Sora & Riku VA's Haley Joel Osment & David Gallagher performed the final scene of 'KINGDOM HEART 2' in the same room for the first time ever, reading Kairi's letter: "Thinking of you, wherever you are. We pray for our sorrows to end, and hope that our hearts will blend. Now I will step forward to realize this wish. And who knows: starting a new journey may not be so hard, or maybe it's already begun. There are many worlds, but they share the same sky β one sky, one destiny."

'BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War' has made a few major departures from the Manga, with today's episode being a prime example In a 2022 interview with VIZ, Tite Kubo explained: "I had decided in my head to end the manga in 15 years. And with so many characters appearing in that last arc, there were many battle scenes that never made it to the manga. So I hope to help insert those scenes back in as much as possible." He also revealed that he had sent Studio PIERROT "lots of battle and design ideas," allowing previously unrealized scenes from Kubo's mind to be animated In addition, Kubo stated that he originally drew TYBW without having to worry about the TV restrictions he considered during the anime's original run, saying "I was worried some scenes might be too heavy if it was ever animated." So while it's likely that not every single anime original moment comes directly from the mind of Kubo, today's major differences from the manga were able to include material that Kubo wanted to be brought to life, but were unable to make the final cut during the manga's serialization

- What is Anime Updates's engagement rate on X?
- Anime Updates (@animeupdates) has an engagement rate of 0.045%, based on the median interactions across 284 original posts from the last 30 days against 2,207,280 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.045%, Anime Updates sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,521 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @animeupdates have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 72% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @animeupdates post?
- Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 12.37 posts per day across the measured window.
