I wonder how much of a factor it is that the two shows that cover the most states don't have a simuldub available over on Funimation.
I don't expect that most people that watch the simuldub watch both the subtitled version at CR and then the dubbed version later at Funimation, so that has to have some impact on the audience of shows that have a simuldub.
That said, at their own site, CR did state that if not for the sequel exception the map would have been covered with MHA (which of course is one of Funimation's flagship simuldubs).

There are people who can get past the bears? I'm impressed as I can't, they're just... not bears, unbears and it's just unbearable.
Also, the only question I had on my mind after the first episode was whether the girl hunter was really short or really young. "Treasure hunt through flaying? Sure but that girl, what's the deal with her?"
I am enjoying Hinamitsuri as well as watching it... those things used to be the same but this season, this "most popular non sequel spring" season and the most popular shows out of that very specific selection are spin offs really spell out this season. Well, for CR at least.

I guess people in South Dakota long for enlightened despotism to save them from Trump.

Well, Just a FYI, SAO GGO is licensed by Aniplex, so there couldn’t ever be a simuldub from Funimation in this case.
Anyway, looking at this list and the responses, maybe it would have been for CR to include sequels after all since some people like to call spin-offs and modern remakes to be sequels as well. Either way, most of this map is showing quality shows in their own right, so can’t complain.

that's a bit of a stretch - especially considering that a majority of anime viewers today are probably totally unfamiliar with the original. |
It's listed on this very site as a spinoff. And I've yet to hear someone talk about it without bringing up what it's based on; even if most viewers haven't heard of the older show, they're definitely influenced by all the glowing reviews from people who have seen it. Though, my disdain for romanticization of boxing definitely makes me biased against it.

I only see this complaint from manga readers. Those of us who only watch anime don't seem as concerned as you. Nor did I care all that much about the bear. Talk about nit-picking.

Manga readers will always have something to talk about the adaptation of the manga they read, which is pretty okay, absolutely, because nothing is free of criticism and it's okay to discuss about things but yeah, in this case, it's just about CGI bears, and it didn't bother me either as an anime only watcher. In fact, the anime is still very fun and intriguing to watch, up to the point that I had recommended this to a lot of whatsapp anime groups. Unfortunately, the community around my nation is commonly composed of ecchi, harem, romance loving dumbass that wouldn't bother at looking other genre so I doubt that my effort could be fruitful but at least, it's better than being fruitless. Irrelevant but I've also been promoting people to watch Sora Yori mo Tooi basho endlessly. Such a beautiful and underrated anime, that one. Luckily got good sales in Japan and high marks from those that watched it.

If I had to choose anything at all, I would choose Space Battleship Tiramisu. Golden Kamuy would be almost there with it.

I'm sure there were heated discussions among fans of "Gone with the Wind," too. There were probably even criticisms of the photography, direction, and whether certain scenes were cut for the movie. Still, it has become a persistent refrain by manga readers in recent discussions to complain about how disappointed they are by the anime adaptation. Mahoutsukai no Yome and Violet Evergarden are two other recent examples. I just find it tiresome to hear the same complaints repeated over and over again about things that are intrinsic to the nature of adaptations. The Golden Kamuy anime is a beautiful, powerful and compelling work on its own and deserves to be appreciated for its accomplishments.

I deny this 'fact'. From what I've seen in comments made in the various places I haunt, just as many if not more were planning on not watching this show because it had Sword Art Online in the title. Only when others explained that it was a spin-off, not a direct sequel, did they give it a chance.
