Why isn't "The Ryuo's Work is Never Done!" on the list? It's on Crunchyroll, and seem pretty mainstream...

Also, about Gintama. Isn't it only watched by hardcore fans at this rate, so of course I'd score high with a biased sample? That isn't a show you can just jump into, unlike perhaps shows like One Piece?

How do people get picked for this poll anyways?

Why do people abbreviate Violet Evergarden as VEG instead of VE? It's not Violet Ever Garden. It wouldn't bother me except that I keep reading it as in vegetable. Smile

Because abbreviations are not acronyms. They're not defined simply by the initial letter of a group of words.

Ugh, I've been power watching some of these as they are at the top, but it's hard to keep at it when they're just not appealing to me. Gintama especially is a pain to get into. I feel like it's like jumping into Episode 127 of Naruto or something, and I liked it back in the time. I mean, of course, the people that watch it now are fans of the series cause everyone else dropped it ages ago. It's not as easy to jump into as Family Guy or something like that.

However, "A Place Further Than The Universe" was a surprising hit with me, it's legit good, and from the art style and setup, then I didn't expect to like it at all. Darling in the Franxx grew on me too, but now I guess I'll try After the Rain and Garo next.
