Can't say I agree with the weekly, but the cumulative looks about right. We all knew it was coming, well done Flip Flappers! Also Natsume on top after a week with no episode? Gg.

Girlish Number is out of the consistent top 11 in the cumulative. I am not following that show, but I heard it is currently not doing well. Nothing else jumped out to me in the cumulative.

Damn, I thought episode 7 of IBO S2 was good, but I was sure that yuri on ice would easily take 1st place for the week.

I was also surprised Yuri didn't take first after its amazing 7th episode. I liked that episode of IBO but Yuri's was better.
Natsume was lucky that the ova that reaired in its place didn't count for the ranking. I don't disagree with that decision but if it had counted, it probably would have dropped in the weeklies at the very least. Izetta is back up as I expected but it looks like it will be back down again, probably around the rankings of episodes 4 and 5. I wouldn't say Girlish number is doing poorly necessarily, but its ratings have been weakening. If what I think will happen in tomorrow's episode happens and is done well, I think it will jump in the weeklies but not in the cumulative next week as episode 20 of Bungou was well rated. |

For all the hate that KyoAni seems to get, Eupho2 is still doing pretty well...

Haters are almost always louder than people who enjoy a show. Goes for everything, regardless of actual quality. So did I just not get the memo letting me know Girlish Number is supposed to be getting worse? Episode 6 had a bunch of generic moments sprinkled with a "haha look we're being generic ain't that a blast" self-awareness that we all love and hate, but it also had a lot of good in it. Episode 7 (not officially out yet) was my favorite so far. Can't say I see why MahoIku got down that much, though. I personally thought episode 7 was the best the show's had so far. |

I didn't think episode 6 of Girlish number was bad either. Seems my suspicions with regard to how good 7 will be are confirmed but I will have to see for myself tomorrow.
With regard to Eupho2, while I don't know about the series page or elsewhere, but if the review thread is any indication, the haters seem to be actually very quiet. Don't know if that says anything. |

I wouldn't say it's bad but it's not that great either, nothing really stick out, it's doesn't quiet bite hard enough to be effective satire/critique and it's not really informative about the industry. So far it honestly feel more like a slice of life than anything else. |

So, where exactly is the hate for KyoAni? In my experience the majority of fans like that studio. If you are referring to hate towards Myriad Colors Phantom World, it deserves all that hate because, besides the pretty visuals, it was pretty dumb and badly written show. I am actually disappointed in Eupho 2, but it is still among the best shows airing this season. |

The Best and Worst of the Season So Far: Week of Nov 12-18
anime
Gundam leaps to the front of the pack this week, while Izetta seeks redemption from its recent plummet. See where your own faves rank!
― Our team of reviewers are following 27 anime series of the Fall 2016 season and readers are rating each episode as the reviews go up. So let's have a look at what ANN readers consider the best (and worst) of the season. Keep in mind that these rankings are based on...
"Who Is The Next Hayao Miyazaki?"
anime
Seems like every new anime director with half a success gets called "the next Miyazaki". Kevin Cirugeda considers the most common "Next Miyazakis", and why that title is totally dubious.
― If every anime viewer were to write a shortlist of the most essential creators in the industry, I have no doubt that Hayao Miyazaki would receive the most mentions with a massive lead over everyone else. And that's...
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part 2 GN 4
manga
The finale of the Battle Tendency arc is an amazing combination of insane fighting and Victorian melodrama as JoJo's Bizarre Adventure continues to impress.
― The world of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is a strange one, even by the standards of shounen or seinen battle manga. Part of this is the necessary supernatural element of the story – the hamon, the Pillar Men's powers and lifespans, and the amazing...
Answerman - Why Are Some Dubs Adapted So Much?
anime
Justin explains why some dub scripts are so heavily modified for an English-speaking audience and just how much the Japanese side knows about these changes.
― Victoria asks: I like watching Hetalia since the beginning because of the little references to world history. I tried watching the dubbed version, but all the dialogue changed to have a lot of cursing and pop culture jokes which I can't stand ...
Shelf Life - Gatchaman Crowds Insight
anime
James jumps back into the world of Gatchaman with its striking second season, while Paul runs down all this week's new anime releases!
― I can always tell if a video game has me hooked by how often I catch myself talking to the characters. I bought a car racing version of all those sports manager games recently, and I've already fallen into the habit of berating my imaginary drivers every time they ...
Sword Art Online: Progressive Novel 4
novels
A long-overdue split between Kirito and Asuna's viewpoints results in the best and most complete novel of the series to date. Theron Martin dives in.
― Volumes 2 and 3 of the Progressive series were told entirely from Kirito's viewpoint, which I felt was a disservice to his co-star Asuna. That changes with this volume, making it the best and most complete story to date for this branch of the franchis...
Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! GN 1
manga
As a parody of the swords-and-sorcery fantasy genre, Konosuba is worth checking out if you need a laugh. Rebecca Silverman dives in.
― They say that life doesn't always work out the way you planned. Sometimes that can be a good thing, but other times, not so much. Kazuma Sato falls into the latter category courtesy of a fate with a rotten sense of humor. Normally a teenage shut-in, Kazuma dared to ve...

My Hero Academia GN 6
manga
My Hero Academia’s sixth volume sees the manga returning to a stable rhythm in the wake of its first true peak.
― My Hero Academia's school tournament arc was a staggering high point for the series so far. Matching clever, fast-paced battles with poignant personal stories, it further humanized a solid subset of the manga's immense cast while never letting up as immediate entertainment. It was essenti...
