It's still Demon Slayer, one of the biggest (if not the biggest) franchises of the past decade. With shows of that magnitude, how much or little there is to write about each episode is irrelevant when it comes to them being voted in for weekly coverage. (See One Piece.) |

I kinda feel like I'm obligated to see it through to the end, but it's always nice to see James backing up my own impressions. Pleased to see most of my favourites from the premiers made the reviews. Archdemons dilemma probably isn't going to be great, but it's kinda fun, so that would have been nice. And it's always fun to get some forum discussions going on one of the car crashes and it seems we're missing most of those... Though Mushoku is always good for some heated forum debates, and from the start this season I don't think that's going to change. Eww Rudeus, just eww. |

So in all, of the 44 series in the Preview Guide, 25 failed to make the cut:
Of these, the ones with the most members currently listed on MAL are:
(Date A Live V would be at #3, with 79K.) Of the series that did make the cut here, the least popular ones on MAL are:
And once the Your Anime Rankings charts start, we'll be able to see what the second tier is, the shows that weren't popular enough to get reviews but still get enough votes to be scored on the charts. (Six shows that are getting reviews weren't in the preview guide, because they're continuing series or haven't premiered yet: Sand Land, Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia, Ninja Kamui, One Piece, and Delicious in Dungeon.) |

I really appreciate this! Nice to see the poll results laid out like this. |

Pity that Urusei Yatsura season 2's second and final cour didn't make it just like season 1's second cour last year here on ANN. Just shows that Urusei Yatsura remake is unpopular outside Japan, mainly in Western countries. I think Urusei Yatsura remake is an underrated anime, I find it pity that ANN will skip weekly episode reviews of Urusei Yatsura's second cour despite that the second cour is the last 4 out of 4 cours and will conclude the anime remake.

Between Misfit and Irregular, I'm more surprised that Irregular didn't get enough votes, the last chunk of Misfit was just out right Bad.
That aside, none of things i voted for got reviews, but I only vote for things I'm not going to watch myself so that's not much of a surprise. |

It's always annoying when series that been reviewed almost to completion are dropped unceremoniously based on a poll. It's different for stuff like Digimon Adventure: where the reviewer(I forget who was covering it at this point) honestly got bored with the shitty pacing and subpar plot. In Urusei Yatsura's case, the reviews have seemed like the reviewer has been more or less enjoying the ride. I don't think anything I'm watching this season is being reviewed, so it's going to be light reading for me. |

And so the quixotic quest for weekly Precure reviews will continue for at least one more season. We'll get that windmill someday.

I'm a little sad but not that surprised Tadaima, Okaeri didn't make the cut but besides that and Yotagarasu, most everything I'm watching this season made it in. This feels like a lighter spring season in general especially coming after a pretty strong winter but there's just enough to keep me interested. I'm especially glad Tonari no Yokai-san and Wind Breaker made it as those have been my favorites so far.

Oh boy... Another set of Demon Slayer weekly reviews by James Beckett. I can somehow already imagine the words being typed down for the first episode.

Nice to see a lot of what I was interested in for has been picked up.
I surprised by Mysterious Disappearances as well along with Unnamed Memory. Not sure how popular it is, but I figured Yozakura would be picked up being a Shonen Jump title that has been running for a while now and had a good premier (imo). Disappointed that Salad Bowl wasn't picked up as I thought the 2nd episode was even better than the first, but being a comedy it doesn't really need reviews. Also would have liked to have seen Yatagarasu, Fable, Aristocrat Appraisal Skill and Elf Bride. Not too surprising that UY is getting dropped as there's only so much I think you can say about it each week and personally I've found the most recent season to be weaker than the rest. |

I'm surprised Ninja Kamui is on the list, as I think there are only two more episodes to go. It should've just been a continuation to the end. Maybe Jairus can pick up Yatagarasu when it's done. >;>
Also sad to see Duke of Death and His Maid drop off. It's such a good series and all the questions are already starting to be answered in its final season. Surprised that Sand Land made the cut. It doesn't look like anyone even knows it's airing, based on the replies to the current reviews. I'm still catching up on it, but the first 7 episodes were terrific and this new arc looks promising, though maybe not quite up to the heights set by the opening bunch. (Btw, someone needs to consolidate the review for eps 1-7 with the reviews for 8-10, since you currently have to search out one or the other rather than having them all together.) Otherwise, while there are a handful of series I'd be happy to see reviews for, I'm not too disappointed in the outcome. It's a good selection, for a season that doesn't look to be quite as strong as the last couple (at least to my tastes, judging by the reduction by nearly 1/3 in series I'm following now). |
