charlotte's story got a great episode last week. dont know about god eater. I want to ask what happened to prison school!? it was on the rise to the top. but i know why because nothing has really happened the last couple eps so people are probably getting impatient. the pace of the show has slowed down, but i feel like its set up for something good to happen soon so i expect a boost soon, also poor chaos dragon, its been a consistent flop, i will probabaly never watch it, maybe one ep out of curiosity.

I will dismiss Gintama, Naruto and One Piece. They are long running series with legions of fans.

Moe Blob Repeat, My Big Fat Love Story and Moe of the Dead are the top 3. Mary Sue with Red Hair is at 4th and Gangsta number 5. Those are very good anime and I am happy to see them so high on this list. Laughing

Porn School has the most inconsistent quality ever, jumping and dropping like hell.

Charlotte is recovering, but after episode 8, I will say it is not going as far as most of us are hoping for.

I just want to say I am so happy to be reviewing both the very top and very bottom user-rated shows of last week. This landmark in awkwardness fills me with pride.

I also love that Chaos Dragon is so widely reviled that it is literally the only show in the list that never even grazes any other shows at any time. It is its own archipelago of terrible. It's a thing of beauty. <3

Why is School-Live! so high on this list but the rating is absolutely terrible? Something is not right here.

Going by the episode rankings Gatchaman Crowds Insight is the most schizophrenic show this season. Every episode alternates drastically between high rank and low rank.

Ranpo is lower than would like it to be, but I still think it's a good show!

Just to make sure -- the first graph is just the score each episode got, while the second one is the score each episode got + the score of the previous episodes?

And Jitsu wa Watashi wa... is fluctuating in a pretty steady rhythm (up-down-up-down-up).

Before anything though, I'm really wondering as to the exact method of how they calculated the results. There are multiple methods to count averages after all. If it uses Wilson scoring, I wouldn't have any objection, but otherwise I question whether or not the result takes into account the number of voters...

Not surprised to see 'My Love Story' up there; it's been really strong lately.

I was kinda curious about Actually, I Am... and was considering watching it, but the rankings aren't that great. Has anyone here been watching it? Is it any good? I don't want to read the episode reviews bc i'd rather avoid spoilers

In my opinion the start was better than the latest episodes, but it's not anything great nor anything really bad. Main girl is quite charming to me and in a harem-ish comedy that's pretty much all it takes to get me to keep watching.

@Merxamers

I'm finding Actually I am ... to be a lot of fun. It is a harem comedy with most of the emphasis on the comedy. There is nothing in these ratings that says that even low ranked shows are not entertaining.

The show is on Crunchyroll. If you have access to that I would strongly suggest you check it out and form your own opinion. It doesn't take that long to watch a couple of episodes.

Thanks, i'll probably check it out. I do have Crunchyroll- i was just asking about it because i really only have the energy to follow 3, maybe 4 shows every season and wanted to make sure it wasn't a waste of time. I do enjoy light romantic comedy stuff (even if i prefer a straight up couple to a harem), so it sounds like a show i'd like.

After i catch up on Rokka, i'll check it out Smile
