Hmm, interesting results. I suppose I have a better idea of which shows to start.
That's handy, good mathing, and thank you for sharing. It's so interesting to look at the numbers/break-down. |

Yep, that was a surprise to me too. Have only seen a couple of Tanaka-kun episodes, but not feeling it. Love Flying Witch and Boku no Hero. Have yet to see Kanbaneri or Re:Zero, but I've been planning to check both out. May end up doing that sooner than I initially planned to. Happy to see And you thought there is never a girl online? in the top 5. I've been surprised by that show, as I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I have been. Out of the ones I've seen from this season, I'd say the only disappointment has been KumaMiko. That one was my most anticipated, but the show feels hollow. |

Only 572 voted for Kabaneri and there is only 8 votes higher than Zero and that's supposed to be overwhelming? But it sounds about right. Heck, there isn't much going on with Kabaneri. They haven't even gotten to the next station.

I thought it was interesting that Kabaneri didn't even crack the top 2 in the gender lists, but managed to get #1 overall. However, it is apparently the only series that did strongly with both genders.
Yeah, it has been incredibly predictable. Not that being predictable stops me from enjoying the ride because it is probably my favorite series this season. |

Kabaneri may not be all that original, but it's been really fun to watch. Definitely the show I look forward to the most every week so far!

I'm just surprised that My Hero Academia didn't even rank in the top ten considering that it was the third most anticipated spring show.

I really like Kanberi so it doesn't surprise me that it made number one. I guess people are really into that sort of Attack-on-Titan-like story, including me of course. However, on that note, I really don't think we can judge this post too harshly. It's just a few hundred people taking a poll, I don't think it actually weighs aganist the views of millions of people. Also, wouldn't the sales of the dvds of the anime show which one was really successful? Just a small question...

Hmmm some interesting poll results here and there, but most of the ones I really ranked so that's cool and to be honest I didn't expect Kuma Miko and Flying Witch to rank that well (especially just among males for the latter) so even better

The statistic that surprises me the most is that 89% of the people watching Flying Witch are male. I understand shows like Re;Zero being big with a male audience and Super Lovers being big with the female audience, but I expected Flying Witch to be more of an even split.
Not a big Re;Zero fan, never got past the second episode because after a 48 minute episode I couldn't remember a single interesting trait about any of the characters, but then again I'm also just a horrible cynic who thinks the vast majority of Light Novels suck so I'm most definitely not the target audience. If it sells really well then I'll check it out for sure, but I'll keep my expectations muted. And to the surprise of no one Attack on Titan is this season's big hit. Araki knows how to make a mega hit that reaches a global audience like Death Note and Attack on Titan because of just how exciting and bombastic his direction is, it's clearly a talent. I'll probably have a lot of fun when I watch Attack on Trains, although judging from his previous works I doubt it will be much more than that. |

I'm surprised that JOJO is not on the top 5.

That actually doesn't surprise me. Flying Witch has a strong iyashikei (healing anime) feel to it, and those type of shows (Aria, Non Non Biyori, et. al.) have always been predominantly for an older male audience - gives them something to de-stress with at the end of their 18-hour work days. I'm an older working stiff, and it's definitely one of my favorite shows this season. |

Actually by unpredictability, they meant whether the writer Okuchi will get it together this time, will this turn into anything close to Code Geass or another Valvrave, we are all watching to find out

The other "original" (not based on pre-existing properties) anime I've been watching this season is The Lost Village (Mayoiga). It's so bad, we can't even figure out if it's intending to be a comedy/satire or if it's just a poorly written horror with some comic elements (I'm betting on the latter, personally). Kabaneri wears it's heart on its sleeve, but it's full of well directed action scenes and it's main character is a nerd with superpowers. It's a lot of fun to watch. |

I agree on re zero somehow the time thing is not that interesting and everyone is acting like its the best show this season it feels like a repeat and rinse show but who's to say, i might change my mind after the show finish airs |

LOL! English bookies should place bets on whether this show will fall apart by the end (you might say it'll be a train wreck *hears groans*) |
