Anime episodes have become battlegrounds, not for their story arcs or unbelievable plot twists, but for their IMDb star ratings.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms episode 5 briefly reached a 9.9 IMDb rating before settling at 9.8, placing it among the highest-rated episodes in Game of Thrones franchise history.
The anticipation of 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' episode 5, "In the Name of the Mother," is already setting IMDB score records before release.
With so many ridiculously good anime releasing in 2025, it's safe to say that the competition is extremely stiff, but no one is complaining, as it means fans get to watch high-quality adaptations.
