No major surprises here (although RIP Steve for getting World's End Harem), but I'm glad Requiem of the Rose King made it! I could have seen that one going either way in the vote and I think Rebecca's style of reviews will be well-suited to it.
Outside of that and my sure things (Ranking of Kings, Vanitas S2, AoT), I'll be checking out the reviews for Tribe Nine because uhh I really don't know what to make of it after just one episode. Only time will tell on that one haha

Is Digimon Ghost Game not going to be covered in the daily reviews anymore?

I'm still blown away that Dress Up Darling is getting traction. It's such a slow burn, no romance series, with the same tropes, and tired MC with the same end results when you think something is going to happen (trying to not mention spoilers). From a manga reader I'm interested in seeing how people see and review the series.

So the second cours of Yashahime and Lupin III Part 6 will no longer be covered on daily streaming reviews? How pity if it's true.
And poor Steve, he got World's End Harem. Insert ''grab a popcorn'' meme.

Man, poor Ryman's Club. That one's dead on arrival with how late it starts. (and even later now because of the WT reschedule)

I like it. But that is because I don't read romance. I read it for the interesting cosplay viewpoints, and a male protagonist that is not ashamed to have something not stereotypically "male" as a hobby. Seriously, some people reading this won't have those "tired tropes" you have. This is the first straight up slice of life I have read. It feels like critics complaining about a movie because its "nothing we haven't seen before". If you are older, maybe, but some of us really don't see those repeating tropes.

The only thing wrong with World's End Harem is that Crunchyroll is streaming it censored. I don't see the point of watching a boobs show censored.

I'm sad Digimon won't be covered anymore and I hope Ghost Game will get covered in the series reviews section sometime down the road but I'm very happy to see Precure made it this time.

I'm glad My dress Up Darling is getting so much love, both here on ANN and in other communities. It's got some very loveable charachters and the artwork is beautiful. If Cloverworks can pull it off (which I think rhey can since the source material lends itself to a 12 episode adaptation), it can serve as a nice pallate cleanser after they had a rough 2020/2021.

Yeah it doesn't make any sense. The streaming numbers for crunchy can't be great. Anyone interested in the show is gonna sail the high Seas for the "cultured" version that airs right after or wait for the BD release. It probably would have made more sense as a hidive release to be honest.

4 of my 5 votes got in, which is more than I expected, so that's cool. And the one that didn't I haven't even started yet, so jury's still out on if I actually care about it.

I'm someone who doesn't normally watch those series because of that same tired MC, and I'm watching this because Gojo is (so far) not that same tired MC. It's just two episodes, though, and he was worse in the 2nd, so it could still get bad. But when I finished the first episode all I could think about was how much better he was than the guy in Komi Can't Communicate. That guy was a complete nobody with zero aspirations who ends up where he does by complete chance. Gojo, on the other hand, has something he's very passionate about (and it's not some stereotypical otaku hobby) and ends up where he does as a result of it.

I think this might be the first time that almost everything I voted for got in - with the exception of Cue!, but I'm not surprised about that -, even Delicious Party Precure, a first for this series to be covered weekly. I'm also glad people gave Slow Loop a chance, even if I'm on the verge of recommending the manga instead, which if more people read it, the better: perhaps it also gets licensed one day.

Looks like a good selection this season. Only ones I would have liked to see would have been Police Pod (which had a much darker second episode), Orient and maybe Wise Man's Pupil and Girls Frontline.

I wasn't sure if Miss Kuroitsu would get a review, but I am happy it does. To be fair, in this season there are not many interesting series.
