Not too much movement in the cumulative rankings this week, except:

Handyman Saitou may have been penalized because its climax occurred before its final episode.

ONIMAI finally climbed into the top half thanks to a strong final episode.

I think one interesting thing is if you look at the colors in the first week of the cumulative ranking. At the top you can see some red mixed among the green: Fire Hunter and Kaina, shows that started high and finished low. Conversely, you can see shows that started low and climbed if you look at the green/yellow mixed among the red at the bottom.

What The Fire Hunter and Kaina of the Great Snow Sea had in common was interesting setting and world-building, but poor plot execution. (Well, that's roughly what the reviewers said, though I thought the stories were fine.)

One thing these charts highlight is just how important the first episode is. I already mentioned in previous weeks that Onimai was a top-half show for most of the season, yet it was stuck in the bottom half of the cumulative rankings until now. At the other extreme, The Fire Hunter immediately plunged to the bottom of the weekly rankings after just one good week, but it still had a decent position in the cumulative rankings for several more weeks.
