Week 10 of Summer and with **Oshi no Ko** out we hit a new low for total karma and are now at almost exactly half the karma (21 off) we started with in week 1.
To noones surprise **Makeine** took the win. Will be interesting to see if Onk will maybe lose some steam due to the break and we’ll have an actual battle for the top these last weeks of summer.
Fun observations: **Stepsister** getting a repdigit score with 777 and **Nier: Automata** getting the same score as **Shoushimin**.
We also have **Nokotan** sneaking back into the top 15 and **Ossan Newbie Adventurer** rising 5 spots to 16th.
And as repetitive as it may have become at this point I have to lament the absence of **Yatagarasu** and urge people to give it a watch.

Nice to see best girl in MHA’s banner.

The **Makeine** girls’ clothes and costumes (or lack thereof) have been doing some heavy lifting keeping the show on top.

It’s not on the ranking list, but please watch **Yatagarasu: The Raven Does Not Choose Its Master**. This show is amazing.

The reason I picked up Yatagarasu is because several people kept pushing it in these weekly karma ranking posts.
I will be one of those people now lol (especially after the latest episode)!
tripleaamin on
I honestly can’t express in words how great Yatagarasu: The Raven Does Not Choose Its Master has been. Not only one of the best shows from the season, but from the entire year. It’s with Frieren & Monogatari in that company. Everything is done so well. Directing, animation consistency, writing, voice acting, characterization, etc. Anyone not even giving it a shot is doing a massive disservice. The only unfortunate thing is that the novels aren’t translated, so this is another Undead Girl situation.
The other shoutout I want to give is Shoshimin: How to Become Ordinary. Kind of like Monogatari it is a series just with 100% dialogue. Like Monogatari the top-notch directing that really immerses into the episode. Started a bit slow, but now I am loving each episode more and more. Our leads are becoming even more intriguing now.
Also disappointed that The Elusive Samurai didn’t make it past 1K karma with its most recent episode. The anime adapts the manga to perfection so far. (Minus the horse animation, which given the difficulty in doing that makes it understandable.) We had 3 big fights all looking beautiful. The one with Tokiyuki really emphasizes what the series is all about. Definitely one of the most beautiful episodes we have seen from this year.

Ah Spice and Wolf is drawing to a close almost with ep 22…. Which means it’s almost time to feast and binge all of it. IT’S GONNA BE GOOD FAM!

Makeine finally reaches the top.
Ocixo on
[If I’d like to touch them?](https://imgur.com/a/whvmNrp) YES, PLEASE! (I knew you’d come through with the S&W banner.)
But was it really *this* what let to the increase of karma for **Spice and Wolf** this week or were it the actual plot developments? I’d like to say the latter, but the series also saw a sudden gain in karma when Diana previously entered the fray (lol).
With the absence of【Oshi no Ko】, this meant a 15k karma week (barely) and -3527 karma from the previous week. 5th Place this week isn’t even above 1k karma.
A majority of the shows in the Top 15 also just decreased in karma this week so not exactly the most satisfying win for Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!
Also we are currently only at 3 shows in this Top 15 with a MAL score above 8.0.
Pseudo Harem is Top 10 this week, but overall karma is still decreasing to under 800. Not what I want to see.

Favorite banner of the week: Undead Nurse Shikiya.
2nd favorite would be Nokotan rallying the people.

With 【Oshi no Ko】S2’s absence, **Days With My Stepsister** claims 1st for the first time this season and broke the three week streak of Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!
**Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian** returns to the Top 3 at 3rd moving up 2 spots from last week.
**Pseudo Harem** and **2.5 Dimensional Seduction** both see a slight +1 boost to 5th and 6th respectively. These two shows, Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian, and Days With My Stepsister are the only four shows to be in the Top 10 for all 9 voting weeks so far.
**The Elusive Samurai** and **SHOSHIMIN: How to Become Ordinary** both return to the Top 10 for the 8th and 5th time at 7th and 8th. The Elusive Samurai did a +5 jump from 12th in [Week #8](https://www.anitrendz.com/charts/top-anime/2024-09-01) while SHOSHIMIN: How to Become Ordinary did a +3 jump from 11th.
At the bottom of the Top 10, **ATRI -My Dear Moments-** has remained at 9th for three weeks in a row and fellow deer show, **My Deer Friend Nokotan**, has been 10th for two weeks now.

**Number of times at #1**:
Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines! – 3
Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian – 3

Arifumi Imai storyboarded and directed episode of **Elusive Samurai** gave the necessary push it required. Such a Goated episode. Sad we won’t see it in next week’s Karma ranking as there was no episode this week.
**Makeine** finally made it to the top. This win would have been even more worthy of celebrating if Oshi no ko aired this week. Sadly this wasn’t the case. Nice choice for the banner btw 👑

Great episode showing her winning side. We got to see Masha’s other side as well. Then some interesting family members as well.
Nickbon94 on
How are you all feeling about this season? Must be the one where I dropped most anime in the middle of it, I started off with 13 and ended up with currently 6 dropping some fan favorites as well (Makeine started off really strong then bored me halfway, still keeping up with OnK just because I’m waiting for something from the manga to come or else I’d have stopped watching it as well) and overall, despite being so braindead, Nokotan ended up being my season’s favorite. Elusive Samurai is eye candy but I’m sincerely watching it just for the animation, NareNare didn’t even know what it wanted to be… Alya is good, but this whole school council elections stuff has tested me a bit. I know it’s objectively not a bad season, but I can’t wait for Fall

If I did want to start watching Slime again, in what episode are they no longer sitting in a room talking
Because the last like 5 episodes of last season were that and the first 2 of this season were too haha

**Failure Frame** is a must watch for any edgy Isekai trash lovers out there. The MC is the edginess edge master who ever edged, the writing is so bad it’s good, and the supporting cast who aren’t trying to kill him every five minutes are pretty enjoyable. I’ve had so much fun every episode and it seems like the really awkward CGI dialogues scenes (if you’ve seen it you get why) have been toned down or are gone completely

I actually vibed with this episode of Isekai Shikkaku more than the one before with the tree. Idk, something about this storyline appealed to me so much more, even though the other one was also amazing

How well does Shikonoko do in Japan? It is practically dead everywhere else that I look.

Finally I’m seeing Yatagarasu mentioned on this sub !!!! This anime been the most slept on this season and last season too. Criminally under watched but not underrated because those who’s been watching it know it is one the best anime.
Seriously, If you’ve liked Apothecary Diaries, go watch Yatagarasu. So many plot twists, mysteries, two faced characters, secrets and lots of world building

Kinda disappointed people are not giving Nier more attention. Like it is really great, probably the best of the bunch here.

Slime has been gradually been more and more enjoyable this cour and the ranking increase shows
Anyway I’ve always used these rankings to scope out shows I may want to try out this season (it’s how I started Mayopan). I’ve been eyeing Elusive Samurai, No Longer Allowed In Another World and Wistoria for a few weeks now. Just hope I can squeeze in some time.
Anyway how is My Wife Has No Emotion ? Romance/Drama is something I’d usually try but it wasn’t really high on my seasonal priority and I’m not seeing it here
Glad_Ad534 on
Wow, this week’s ranking is really shaking things up! Seeing Spice and Wolf shoot up to the top 3 is amazing—Holo fans, And Makeine at #1! 😱 I didn’t expect it to stay this strong after 10 weeks.
Also, anyone else surprised by Wistoria’s climb? The animation and character development have been on point lately.

Tower of god s1e9 was [6656 karma](https://new.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/gte0mr/ranime_karma_poll_ranking_week_8_spring_2020/), and now s2e9 is just 617 karma. Is there any other show that has that huge downfall? (Reddit overall karma drop still in place, but anyway)
Yeah with this chart my hopes of ghost Yanami for next week’s are shattered aren’t they. Goddammit 8K.

Did we finally beat the lowest ever non-COVID karma total?
I’m glad, all the anime I’m watching this season are in this list (Makeine, Days With my stepsister, mayonaka punch, shoshimin, alya)
