I was pretty late to checking out premieres (only just caught up with the ones I wanted to check out a couple nights ago), but ended up voting for a lot more shows than usual in the poll. Pretty sure everything made it in!
I admittedly sort of fell off reading reviews last season (instead just listening to the weekly podcast coverage), either due to the show being simple and easy-going enough that I didn't feel the need to check out reviews every week, or in the case of one show in particular, said reviews were just not clicking with me at all as a reader. There's so much out this season that I'm sure I'm bound to keep up with quite a few more! |

All of my picks made it. Didn't vote for G-Witch, which I had been sleeping on until this past weekend, but I knew it would continue anyway. Looking good!

It's always fun to read way too much into the review scheduling process.

I know, right? Like, look at AJ’s list. All those charming, sweet shows, but, just to avoid sugar overload—Hell’s Paradise!

Always rough to see something you were interested in didn't even make the top 30. (Which includes three continuations from winter, mind you -- One Piece, Vinland Saga, and NieR.)
For the convenience of anyone interested, here's the list of rejects:
Going by current MyAnimeList members, the most popular of those are I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World, Summoned to Another World for a Second Time, In Another World With My Smartphone 2, The Aristocrat's Otherworldly Adventure, and Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear—Punch!. So, I guess ANN readers are getting tired of Narou-type isekai faster than MAL members. (On MAL's seasonal chart, Birdie Wing S2 is currently down at #38 for TV shows -- the lowest show on the chart to have made the cut here, just below Sacrificial Princess. Otaku Elf is the next above that, at #34, and then My Clueless First Friend at #32. Despite how requested G-Witch S2 was here, it's only #29 on the MAL chart.)
I assume this means requested by readers, but now I'm curious what shows were the most requested by reviewers. Last edited by Shay Guy on Mon Apr 17, 2023 3:00 pm; edited 1 time in total |

That My Home Hero made the cut this season is quite a surprise to me, especially given its lukewarm reception and presentation style. More mildly surprised that The Legendary Hero is Dead! made it, given that it also had a lukewarm reception, and that Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear - Punch! didn't.
Not surprised but disappointed that Isekai Cheat Skill didn't make it. Despite being a naked power fantasy with mediocre (at best) animation, it's taken an approach with its second and third episodes that I find worthy of commentary. Also not surprised that Oshi no Ko was at the top of the request heap. That's the one that I am most looking forward to seeing weekly commentary on. |

Nice, most of my votes made it in! My top contender so far is Skip and Loafer, though Oshi no Ko is off to a really intriguing start. I'm enjoying but not over the moon about Heavenly Delusion and Love at LV 999. Oshi no Ko and Heavenly Delusion both are so high concept and ambitious that I'm kinda mentally bracing myself for the possibility of them going tits up like Promised Neverland or Wonder Egg Priority, but fingers crossed that they'll stick their landings better.
My only vote that didn't make the cut was unsurprisingly Soaring Sky! Pretty Cure; it's a shame that it wasn't this season of Precure that got covered instead of Delicious Party, I think there's more going on in this one and more interesting characters. But I guess there just isn't much of a Precure fanbase presence on ANN  Maybe one day!

Do people not remember when the first season was released? Most people did not "care about it" the first time around. It was fittingly heralded as the most generic thing seen up to that point. The only nostalgia the show really should receive is that, somehow, the subgenre has become even more ridiculously reductive. "Hey, remember when Smartphone was the silliest isekai idea? ... oh, for those simpler days when every other one didn't involve farming and or slimes." |

I was being sarcastic, of course  I was only finding it funny that something once heralded as the lowest possible trash imaginable, is barely making a dent when we're oversaturated by the same kind of trash nowadays.

No, this is entirely on purpose. On a meta-level...Nick and I were debating which one of us would review the series. |

Surprised it's not Richard doing Kamikatsu, since he's the only one who seemed to be into it.
