How the Ranking Works

Last updated: July 3, 2026

The ranking on bestanimeboobs.com is our own. It is computed from public data, refreshed roughly weekly, and every input is described on this page. It is editorial opinion expressed as math, not an objective fact.

What goes in

Each show gets a score from four ingredients:

• Nudity (35%). The relevance score of the community applied "Nudity" tag on AniList, from 0 to 100. This is graded, not a yes/no: a show where nudity is a defining feature scores higher than one with a single hot spring episode. It is the single heaviest ingredient in the formula, which is exactly as it should be on this site.
• Rating (25%). The show's average community score on AniList. Better shows rank higher; a great chest on a terrible show only gets you so far.
• Popularity (25%). How many AniList users have the show on their lists. We use the logarithm of this number, so a show with 700k listers beats one with 300k, but not by 400k worth; niche shows stay competitive.
• Featured characters (15%). How many characters from the show appear in our catalog. Shows that keep coming up are there for a reason.

How it is combined

Each ingredient is normalized across the whole catalog (the best show on a given ingredient scores 1, the worst scores 0, everything else lands proportionally in between). The final score is the weighted sum: 35% nudity, 25% rating, 25% popularity, 15% featured characters. Shows are then sorted by that score. Ties break alphabetically.

The Nudity flag

Cards show a Nudity: Y/N flag. It reads Y when the AniList "Nudity" tag relevance is 60 or higher. This is community tagged data, not our judgment of individual scenes. Hentai (adult rated) titles are excluded from the catalog entirely.

Where the list comes from

Which shows and characters appear in the catalog is informed by public posts on social media and forums; show information (scores, popularity, tags, cover art, streaming availability) comes from AniList. The rank order itself is produced by the formula above and nothing else.

What money can and cannot buy

Streaming providers can pay for placement of their streaming links, which are always labeled "Promoted". Payment never affects which shows appear or how they are ranked. The formula has no sponsorship input, and we intend to keep it that way.

Changes

The formula will evolve (weights, new ingredients, wider sources). When it does, this page changes with it; the "last updated" date above reflects the current version.
