Everything I wanted bar Ace Attorney got in I believe. Don't get me wrong, I don't like it, but I was curious to see how reviews would go now it's hit Justice for All (Which is like, the first time I've ever seen a game besides the original get adapted, so I was interested for that reason alone).
Sadly this is first season where I can't follow any of Jacob's reviews, due to not following Danganronpa (yet! I will get the games ASAP) or Berserk. I've always loved Jacob's reviews so I'm a little sad. Hopefully I get the time and money to get them on Steam and play them before the season is over. Although must say, double Danganronpa, I hope for your sanity they are both good.
Also a little surprised to see Nick get Mob Psycho, given his feelings for OPM. I hope that the comedy and story are to his taste here. Actually, I'm kind of surprised as well that Nick got MP100 and Gabriella got Battery, when I was expecting it to be the other way around. Well, I'll be looking forward to reading the reviews.
EDIT: Wait, so there's no Cute High Earth Defence Club Love? Dang, that was another of my picks. Actually kind of surprised (again), I knew it wasn't a mega hit but I thought it had at least a BIT more of a following than that

Most everything I'm watching this season is getting reviewed, nice. The only ones that aren't are Regalia and season 2 of Active Raid, and the exclusion of either of those isn't terribly surprising to me.
Most surprising to me is that New Game actually is getting reviewed, since AFAIK shows of its kind usually don't poll particularly well. I can't help but wonder if it's due to the novelty of the game dev setting, or if it was just better received in general than the previous few similar shows.

No Cute High Earth?? Dang, I wanted reviews on that, and I doubt people will be as interested in that show as I am. Anyway, everything I wanted is getting reviews, including Thunderbolt Fantasy, which will probably be something very interesting to write about.

dang it, no love for prisma Illya

A bit surprised taboo tattoo got in, no strong feeling about it but it wasn't exactly a stand out anime.
Love how both cheer boys and days are reviewed by the same person, the "would they just freaking kiss already!" reviews.
So who's going to win the chaos dragon award this year, any bet? Last season had a few good contender, but I don't really see one this season, I mean I'm guessing berserk won't be a long line of review about how disappointing it is that its all CG.

FWIW, Prisma Illya and Cute High Earth LL (or as I like to call it: Boueibu Too!) polled about the same pretty poor numbers. (Fan enthusiasm =/= widespread popularity, we have learned.) We might have been able to mercy-assign them in a lighter season, but this is the bulkiest season ever so far, so there were no mercy-picks to be had.
Despite me and Zac's twitter joking, Taboo Tattoo polled bizarrely high tbh.

I look forward to the hundreds of "omg teh CG FML" posts in the Berserk thread.
Mod note: extremely tired joke about extremely common Chinese name removed.

I'm just going to open my reviews with something to the tune of "yes yes, it looks like butt, now I'm just going to talk about the story going forward."

My choices of Planeterian, Amanchu and Sweetness and Lightning all look to be in good hands. As an added bonus, we have streaming reviews from Bamboo again! Huzzah I say.

Fear not, I expect most reviewers will have plenty to say about each other's assigned titles. Though it may be raining every day over here, the summer season is likely to become quite a heated affair.

...huh interesting
to be honest im not really surprised Prisma Illya didn't make the cut, given the majority of the content so far (which is lolicon yuri fanservice if anyone didn't already know that).
It honestly feels like a guilty pleasure, like I feel really guilty sometimes when somebody walks in and and i immediately switch to something else before something embarrassing shows up.
and odd for Taboo Tattoo to poll high, when i watched the first episode it was seemed neither good nor bad. It definitely didn't resonate with me the way ReZero did when it first aired

Sweet, looks like I'll be reading all your stuff this season, Theron. I'm especially looking forward to your reviews on Rewrite. Just like Re:Zero, there's way more stuff beneath the surface.

From everything that I've heard about it and what they did with the anime and why, I'm definitely expecting more than what the first episode showed. It's going to have an uphill battle to get anywhere near Re: Zero's level, but I learned quite a while ago not to discount Key adaptations too early.

You sure it's not one of those hate watch things again? Though I imagine HxH got most of those votes.
I'm glad Tales of Zestiria got in. That's the only show so far I'm particularly invested in.
