As expected, Jojo keeps first in culmulative. If the points stay as they are Re:Zero will take the top in the weekly next week. The culmulative is harder to say but at the very least Re:zero will get closer to first if not overtaking Jojo.

Assassination is back up to fourth. I don't think it'll break into the top three next week and it'll need to consistently beat out at least Jojo and Ushio and Tora to do so.

Kabaneri's weekly drop is really setting into the cumulative. Next week will be key to prevent it from dropping further. If next week's episode gets a similar rating as this week's, it could potentially drop down to 8th. I don't see it dropping below Joker Game or Sailor Moon Crystal 3 which have both consistently been around 4. Kabaneri's early high ratings will probably stave off those two barring a severe drop in ratings.

Wonder if RE:Zero will get top in accumulative next week (pretty sure that it will get top of the weekly). I mean, the 11th episode got it so much attention.

Remember, this covers episode 10 for Re:Zero and episode 36 for Ushio & Tora. They were neck-and-neck on average rating for that time period, so the latter must have had a very narrow lead on the former.

For episodes so far in the June 10-16 time frame, Re:Zero has a distinct lead - currently .2 over the nearest competitor, and even bigger over Jojo. Barring something weird happening, it should easily be back in first for the weeklies and might even have a shot at taking the top overall spot.

It's at the top of each episode review.
For example, the newest episode review for Re:Zero, it's located at the top, just click on the stars to rate it.

I wonder if Tanaka-kun I will at least make it in the top 5 for cumulative rankings, given that it's my favorite show of the season? It's been doing consistently well, sleep-inducing 1st episode aside, and it got the 3rd place in weekly rankings this week.

One odd question since this is my first time reading one of these things: does Joker Game's 9th place show ratting mean it's not as good as people once thought or is it still good but other shows are showing more quality?

It means people like it less than other shows, whether that means it's bad or that other shows are simply that good is up to anyone's opinions.

How can Ass Class overtake Flying Witch in the cumulative when AssClass failed to overtake Flying Witch in the weekly rankings? Is that because of the mind-blowing Schulze method or a technical error?
I expect Re:Zero to drop on its weekly rankings next weeks. So my guess is that Re:Zero cannot overtake JoJo in its cumulative unless JoJo flops.

good prediction Smile
Actually my original expectation is that it will happen this week. But because I shamelessly call it as a prediction, I have to include the other good possibilities. I'm not confident that my prediction can happen this week but I'm sure it will drop within two weeks if KnK didn't improve.
My guesses are "calculated" and it is based on "assumptions" and "conditions". And I only call my guesses as predictions if I'm confident enough and if I set conditions (like in KnK). But one of my "assumptions" is undermined by the "irregularity" of the rankings of AssClass and FW this week. So I think I cannot brand my guesses as predictions anymore.

Ass Class overtook Flying Witch in the cumulative because it has done better overall so far. The cumulative is slower than the weekly, so it moving in the opposite direction as the weekly is not an anomaly. If you look at all the weeks, Ass Class has been above Flying Witch more often than not, so it falling so far in the cumulative in the prior three weeks is actually a little more unusual than it returning to its prior mean.

On Re:zero, unless one of the Thursday shows pulls off an amazing episode and gets 4.7 stars, it will take the top as its has the highest rated episode at 4.6, and the closest second was My Hero Academia which hasn't beaten Re:zero in the weeklies for the last six weeks.

You can see the number rating on the individual page, but different people have different expectation of what a 1/5 and a 5/5 means. For some people 5/5 is impossibly good and for other its simply entertaining. Some show might attract more of one type of person versus another. Also its average rating, so a show which a lot of people watch can have a worse score than a show that only a small number of hardcore fan watch (that's why long running series tend to dominate the top of the rating when there not in filler territory).

So for example, a show which was very hyped but turned out mediocre for almost everyone but few people will overtime shed most of the people who would rate it low (thereby they won't vote anymore), only retaining the people who really like it. So its average score can go up overtime. This means it could actually overtake another show that more people consider decent enough to keep watching.

You also have to consider that some people hatewatch show and even vote for show they haven't watched themselves.

With last season's kerfuffle I hope this is being at least counted for this time.
