Good grief, whatever happened to "To Your Eternity"? That's some incredible nosedive.

Likely not enough people are rating the episodes

Still sad to see that My Friend's Little Sister and Chitose aren't charting. Two of my favorites this season. Well at least Uma Musume has a high rating!

Kingdom has always been an outlier in ratings. I remember back in its 3rd or 4th season, in the viewer poll (not Your Score, where it's never been) it had among the fewest ratings, but the highest percentage of 4.5-5 star ratings. In other words, nearly everyone who watches it loves it, but it can't seem to get anyone to watch it.

I'm sad to see how poorly Grieving Soul is doing. It's been very clever in how it propagates the misunderstandings that maintain Thousand Tricks' reputation as always being a step ahead, when he's so far out of the loop he's back in it. It's been one of my favorites this season.

Lol, I only watched the first season - and did not read the manga, but it have been spoiled to me to some extent - and I'm not surprised by that at all. This series' highs are really high and its lows are like one of the most painful experience ever, and not in a good way. As in, really awful, not only compared to the rest of the story, but in general as a medium.

Kingdom is a funny series because its like top 7 in manga sells but only like 5 people know it outside Japan.

I think the Kingdom anime was killed at birth by the hideous CG, among other things. Anyone who endured that was eventually well rewarded, but it was apparently too big an ask, which I get. To avoid completely derailing this thread, here's my own summary of what I mean by "among other things."

I don't think I'll ever understand what in the world happened with Funimation's dub of the first two seasons, unless an insider finally spills the tea. Again, I'll just send you here to explain what I'm talking about. Smile
