The update comes from Video Research Ltd., an organization known for tracking real-time show ratings and their DVR additions down the line. One of the company's most recent reports went over Spy x Family given its hype online. It was there fans learned that 6.919 million viewers in Japan watched the anime's premiere overseas which made it that week's most-watched anime.
With its DVR views included, the data confirms Spy x Family had a rating of 5.5%. This comes after initial reports assigned the anime's premiere with a rating of 3.1% in Japan. This goes to show how many fans tuned into the premiere later using DVR, and that doesn't even account for streaming views.
