LOL. I must be one of the few who kinda likes GxG so the low position is no surprise, but I had no idea DiAD was also doing so poorly.

Although I still like Detective, I'll freely acknowledge that it has some serious flaws, so its low ranking here isn't a surprise. It took an interesting concept and hasn't done anything that interesting with it.

On the other end, I'm not surprised that Dragon Maid is at the top, but if it's legitimately the best this season then it's only because the competition is really weak. It's one of the better-animated series of the season, for sure, but has not impressed me much otherwise. The sharp wit seen in the first season just isn't there, or at least nowhere nearly as strongly present.

Glad Iruma-kun's getting some love. This season has been great and (if the manga is any indication) it only gets better and better.

MHA seems a bit too high considering how butchered this season was. But to each their own.
