Week 13 of Spring and pretty low overall score with some Shows already having ended in prior weeks.
Very happy to see **Eupho** (8th) and **Train** (10th) making the top 10. Sadly **Suicide Squad** starting with three episodes meant that **~~Wolf Waifu~~ Lvl 2 Cheat** (17th) missed out on making the left side of the bracket.
And finally. FINALLY. **Yatagarasu** actually made it on the board in 27th.
Episode 12 was fantastic and yesterday’s episode arguably even one-upped it.
If you are wondering what to watch between the two seasons while you don’t have too many seasonals on your schedule I recommend catching up to this show for its second cour.

Ah final week. I will miss Mushoku tensei when it finishes today, an incredible watch every week. And my anime of the season.
Incredible news is, atleast with recent leaks, Season 3 is all but officially announced.
Side note: **watch until the end of today’s episode, everyone**
Atleast I got Tower of god and Spice and wolf to look forward to next season.

It’s funny how after the amount of flak the ending got, Jellyfish still finished in the top 5. Mainly because the difference between 3rd and 4th places is over 2x the difference between 4th and 11th places, but still. ^(And speaking of the 3rd, I can’t believe Tanjiro is fucking dead.)

Level 2 Cheat and Date A Live finally positioned to make top-15 after a handful of shows already ended, then Isekai Suicide Squad [slaps them down](https://i.imgur.com/LkLqJIB.mp4) in a #holdmybeer moment.
Fenrys finished the season with at least 113 “darling-sama” to top Miyuki’s 97 “onii-sama.”
I see you grabbed from the gif for Appraisal.

Still being over 21.5k for this week I think is good.
Happy Hibike! Euphonium is at 1100+ karma and a Top 10 spot on this week’s chart. Also look at that comment count relative to its ranking and karma for the week.
Giving it up for Date A Live V for producing a 500+ karma finale when it was at 289 karma last week and moving into the Top 20.
I think the saddest show of the season (in terms of how it started vs. how it…not even ended) is Whisper Me A Love Song.

Favorite banner of the week (more of an icon really): Date A Live V

The most shocking karma ranking has been WindBreaker’s this season. No idea why it just never took off on r/anime.
Illustrious-Fox5135 on
That **Hibike Euphonium** episode was really something else. Easily one of the top contender for episode of the year. More people need to watch this show.
Another gem of a show that everyone needs to watch is **Yatagarasu**. Excellent show with intriguing drama and characters. Back to back banger episodes.
ChaosBuckaroo on
I don’t know exactly how the karma ranking and discussion numbers count, but I’d imagine the majority of the Jellyfish numbers come from people saying “that’s it?”
FattyHammer on
why is isekai suicide squad on here 3 times lol?
also damn, girls band cry really underwatched.
edit: 3 episodes came out at once. i see. thanks.

Train was a gem of this season, glad it’s appreciated here.

Dead demon destruction is so low. It’s very like heavenly delusion

That ending to last week’s episode of **Demon Slayer** was the definition of unnecessary but cool as hell
BigBadBurito on
A lot of shows ending up, feels sad q-q
Glad to see train get top10 and above 1K for the finale which was pretty fun. Even sets up for a possible sequel, as unlike as it is.
Jellyfish didn’t end as well as it could, but still loved it alongside the other originals.
Dunno if any of the summer shows will start by the next karma ranking, but GBC could get TOP5, which is 4slots too low for the best show this season, and possibly the year, but we’ll see.

With the way the thumbnails are it looks like Yoka is crying because Todoroki locked in hard enough to top her
michhoffman on
Amidst all of the talk about Mushoku Tensei, Jellyfish and GBC, I wanted to highlight Kaiju and MHA and how they have been killing it the past several weeks. Kaiju has had its highest and third highest Karma totals of the season these past 2 weeks while MHA, which we all make fun of for the botting, has been arguably the best its been since the first half of Season 3 this season.
cursedparsnip on
I’m glad to see Yatagarasu finally making an appearance. The last two episodes have been phenomenal!
Been a good show throughout so far with consistency in the first cour story plot, especially coming together with the last few episodes.
The Hidden Gem for this season.
basuga_BFE on
Girls Band Cry ended, now watch Dededede cowards!
Bullying in school, girls best friends, MC having family problems… and planning to fight the system … just the same alley! but slower pacing and mysteries due to 18 episodes length. And very good visual quality (2D).
Differences: sci-fi setting, ikemen elder brother and no music band.

Train Girls crossing 1k Karma with its finale which they did a fantastic job with. Honestly it’s right up there with Girls Cry Band, but I think Train Girls was my favorite original in this great season for originals. The cast was fantastic, the writing was top-notch in both writing and how creative it is. To add on top everything flowed well. I would love to see an ova to get content what is skipped.
As we had into next season I will talk about my thoughts all the 2 cour shows that continue into next season.
First is **YATAGARASU: The Raven Does Not Choose** Its Master. Honestly in a season with some fucking amazing standout shows like Dungeon Meshi, Black Butler, Konosuba and Girls Cry Band. From a quality perspective Yatagarasu is one of the best shows from the year. It holds up in comparison to Frieren, Dungeon Meshi, Apothecary Diaries and Black Butler. Outstanding writing and the twists in how they are executed is fantastic. To add on the direction and how really rock solid the visuals are just even more greatness from it. Any person look for a well written series won’t be disappointed in this one. Apothecary fans should love. It shares similarities but goes for a different story even if the setting seems similar.
Next is **Spice & Wolf**. As a first time watch this series has fantastic. This is a fantastic series and is well written. One of the biggest attributes which is rare in the majority of anime these days is how grown up the cast feels. You get adults acting like adults. Also, the Economics side is pretty intriguing. It’s not super in depth, but it’s really cool to follow along. Kraft and Holo’s dynamic is fantastic. How you see the two of them play off each other is great.
Next is **Mission: Yozakura Family**. This series which I recently read and caught up to is one of my favorites. It has a pretty slow start as it builds up the family. The tricky thing with adaptations is that the manga took a bit to find its rhythm. The anime has done a great job cutting the fat of this stuff and rearranging it in the first half of the season. Now at the start of the 2nd half of the season the actually main story will start. I say this is the best time to try the anime. If you come to adore the family like I do, you may fall in love with the series. It’s one that only that gets better with time.
Next is **TenSura**. Tbh Slime first half has had its issues in terms of direction and creativity. Like the contents of the episodes have been important. But how it has been executed was disappointing and feels padded at times. I will note since the arc wrapped up, the quality has been much improved. It’s headed for a SoL arc which is usually when Slime is at its best. I can say the trajectory for this shows is on the rise with the last 4 episodes. So hopefully it sticks that way.
Last is **My Hero Academia**. This is a show that has been going on for a while. Honestly to me, it follows the quality it had in the first 3 seasons and the first half of S6. If you liked those seasons you will like it. But if you didn’t and even had issues with these parts, it obviously isn’t worth it.
Ocixo on
I didn’t expect **Spice and Wolf** to yet again lose some karma. Especially since I thoroughly enjoyed change of pace in the latest episode.
Muted-Conference2900 on
Still no Oblivion Battery. Most underrated anime this season. It hasn’t even reached 200 upvotes i think. It’s really a shame considering the last episode was something else.
It’s my AOTS this season also the last episode was my favourite episode this year.
fph03n1x on
Someone please explain to me the Code Geass that’s lurking at rank21…. what’s that? Is that a continuation? A spinoff? Should I watch?

Can someone explain why they like Hero Academy? To me, it’s just a bunch of long drawn-out battles. It was the same for me with One Piece and Dragon Ball Z
CatCatCatCubed on
Poor Fable. I love the manga and the show. Probably one of the few anime I’d be comfortable recommending to my Dad too lol.
ModieOfTheEast on
My favourite hidden gem of the season was definitely Mysterious Disappearances. Never really gets high up on the rankings, but the show overall was very fun and had a satisfying ending.

Jellyfish lets go #4 woot
actuallyrndthoughts on
I’ll be here every week to tell you to watch **Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction**, which has been great every week so far. It has 2 fun girl protags juxtaposed with the doom and gloom of a slow alien invasion. I think it’s supposed to be a complete adaptation of Asano Inio-sensei’s manga, who’s apparently a big deal
Taking #1 for most anticipated is unsurprisingly**【OSHI NO KO】S2**.
Round out the Top 3 is **Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian** at 2nd and **My Deer Friend Nokotan** at 3rd.
Anime Trending’s voters are very heavy on the romcoms as rounding out the Top 10 at 8th to 10th are **Too Many Losing Heroines!**, **Giji Harem**, and **2.5 Dimensional Seduction**.
Shadowrun29 on
I read the fable manga recently and it was a good read. Anime is following the Manga closely, and it’s one of the good ones this season if you want some action, yakuza, and little bit of comedy mixed in.
