Genuine question. How representative is anime corner to the tastes of the broader viewer base?
That’s a really good question. From looking at the rankings for different sites for a little while now, I think that AC tends to be a bit biased toward romance. For example, last season saw Date a Live near the top of the chart most of the season while it wasn’t on the other charts (reddit karma or Anime Trending).
Looking at the reddit karma for this past week, Oshi no Ko is running away with things with about 2x as much karma as Alya. Other shows are higher up as well with solid showings from Spice and Wolf as well as Slime.
Ehh… it’s approximately in line with source material ratings. On the other hand, if the community is small, there would be some odd tilts due to a lack of total variety, so the people who have watched four seasons of Date A Live would obviously know to recommend the fifth season.
