EP. REVIEW: Dark Gathering

Wait why are you ending the reviews?

Each season ANN holds a user poll, and then discusses among their editorial staff what reviews to continue, as I understand it. The latest reviews were announced here: animenewsnetwork.com/site-news/2023-10-16/your-fall-2023-daily-streaming-reviews-schedule/.203494 I don't think the poll results are made public, and I think they've said in the past that what gets reviewed isn't strictly determined by the poll (speculative, but: presumably also takes into account writer and editorial staff preference, if very strong, as well as contextual factors like some shows not having first eps out yet), but it's probably reasonable to guess Dark Gathering didn't do super well in polling this time around.

Will miss the reviews of it, but not super surprised. There's more competition this season, and DG kind of has had a pretty static schtick so far. I imagine it would have stood a better chance if the main plot had progressed a bit more.
