Kakegurui,Fate/Apocrypha,Princess Principal, are NOT light hearted comedies. |

Hence why they didn't win. I'm quite aware they are not. Which is why these polls are often weird to begin with. Frankly who would have thought Aho-Girl would be #1 in any significant poll. |

I did see Aho-Girl getting a bit of buzz around, didn't know it was this liked. I watched one clip on Crunchyroll's FB page to nope the hell out of it, though.
Voted for Tsuredure and F/A. Only two anime I honestly enjoyed every week - everything else had multiple ups and downs. |

I don't know if you're just trying to take a jab at them because they have a different opinion, but regardless, I think you'd be pretty hard pressed to argue that most of the characters in New Game are "stupid", while that is literally the point of the main girl in Aho-Girl, hence the title.
Yeah, I dunno. The wording used in the original article is a little vague, but it does kind of imply they were looking for FUN! shows. Certainly Aho-Girl was not the most popular)(though I was surprised to see how many people were watching it) or most highly regarded series of the season, but I guess people enjoyed the act of watching it? I'm not sure what to pick based on that. Made in Abyss is, without a doubt, the best series of the season, for me, and I might be able to convince myself it was also the most enjoyable simply because of how perfectly it realized such a brilliant fantasy, but Tsuredure Children was probably the show that I smiled while watching most often during. |

Aho-Girl definitely deserves to be in the top spot. It's a show that isn't afraid to laugh at itself. It doesn't put on airs and I appreciate it for that. It's like people are afraid to have fun anymore without being able to justify it to themselves or a third party. No person is above any show. Not every piece of entertainment must be deep, moving or thought-provoking in order to be enjoyable and I respect the show for being pure comedy gold. Slapstick at its purest and most unadulterated.

The whole egalitarian undertone ruined it for me.
The fact Aoi Yūki also did completely opposite prolific characters like Madoka Kaname and Victorique de Blois is what makes it funnier. |

I mean, sure, yeah. But some people just don't like slapstick. Or shows that think stupidity is funny. I can enjoy a lighthearted comedy, but I'm one of those people. Stupidity and slapstick just aren't a source of comedy to me. And they far too often verge into mean-spirited. |

AhoGirl started on shaky ground with me. But Inu won me over, best dog!

In terms of "enjoyability" it would be Sakura Quest for me though it started in the spring. Made in Abyss was too emotionally wrenching to score high on that scale. As for Princess Principal, the missions were often fun, but as palom said, Princess Principal's cast had rather dark back stories, some with scenes of child abuse. I thought these elements made the story much more interesting, but not necessarily always "enjoyable."

The main reason why I love Aho Girl is because its the kind of show that isn't afraid to show a girl getting the crap beaten outta of her despite her doing well quickly afterwards. I can't think of any show quite like this and that's why I think its so good and well deserved the number one spot. |

It was a funny show, 4koma i believe. That last episode is crazy, you live long enough you will meet people crazy like that.
Whatever Jacob hates or says is bad on the podcast, has been number 1 for a few seasons now. Kemono Friends and Aho-girl recently. Weird |

Of the summer-debuting anime I watched, PriPri was my fave.

Huh? Jacob really liked Kemono Friends. Maybe not the first episode (can't remember who previewed it for the preview guide, but I remember it didn't make a good first impression on most of them) but after the show got going, he really liked it, and he and Zac even did a whole ANNCast talking about their love of the show. |

I wouldn't call what either of them espoused to be "love of the show". Zac did seem to genuinely appreciate it and thought of it as something special, but Jacob seemed generally mixed. He liked it, but didn't seem to think it was anything special. |
