For those shows, not so much. I don't think anyone here contests MiA and MHA being highly regarded by both critics and users so we can set those aside. While Re:Creators did have some weaker episodes and it dropped a bit in the rankings, the response was mostly positive as well. Classroom of the Elite was rated 4 or higher in all but two episodes. Boruto is more mixed but it is generally rated just under or just over 4. I suspect what Key said in the thread for a previous entry about the lowest ranked shows also having the least traffic generally holds to previous seasons. You rarely get that much traffic if most people don't like the show, though I do think there are some instances of higher traffic hate-watches (Hand Shakers?). |

To be honest, I'm not too surprised about LotL rise up here on ANN. We've always kinda had a soft spot for the idea of gender-neutral anything which no question is the reason for the high score. I doubt the show even cracks the top 10 in popularity but its fans love it, which is what matters.

Maybe people watching Osomatsu have stopped voting? Or are falling behind on the series or something?
Still, rather strange to see such a decline. Very odd.. |

You are implying that people rate the show highly because it has gender neutral characters, and frankly, I don't think that's true. I also don't think most people care much about it all, especially now that it's already half way. Instead, there are much about the show that's praise worthy, including art direction, voice acting, world building etc. |

The hell ?
Osomatsu can't be that low, it has to be a conspiracy or something. Even if it wasnt that popular it was really well ranked and this season isnt really different from the first so i dont see how it could go that low. |

I only saw half of the episode that was removed from season one, but IMO (YMMV) it might be for the very same reason that Ranma 1/2 was very popular in the west but Urusei Yatsura wasn't; if the second season has very japan-centric jokes, they will fall flat on viewers, meanwhile more generic (but less funny) jokes (like in Ranma 1/2) will please more people in the west. Many of the viewers of ANN have become acquainted with japanese culture and might understand some jokes that casual viewers will never understand (but might be still watching and ranking the series out of habit), but in comparison with the wave of new viewers, old timers are a smaller fraction. |

The most recent episode (not covered by this entry) did have more Japan centric jokes, but overall this season hasn't been much different than the last one in that regard. If anything, I think that episode will break the downward tread. I also find it hard to believe that casual viewers made it all the way though the first season and are just now cooling on it. |

I think it's a case of major downvoting. Episode 7 was one of the strongest episode and the community score is barely keeping up with some of season 1's weakest episode.

Nice to see Girls' Last Tour and Land of the Lustrous so high up on the charts. Going into this season, I was worried that both shows' post-apocalyptic elements would be overshadowed by Kino, but it looks like that wasn't the case at all.
Other than that, it looks like this is a really healthy season, with not only something for everyone, but something good for everyone.
MWA HA HA YOU ALWAYS SHOULD HAVE READ THE FIRST PARAGRAPH NOW AS PUNISHMENT I SHALL DESTROY ALL CIVILIZED PLANETS ...maybe it's time I call it a night. |

I think I can safely say at this point that Land of the Lustrous is the best looking CG series made to date. I can't think of anything that's even come close. There was a huge fight on Sakugabooru over whether it should be allowed, because people wouldn't accept that a CG series has such good animation. Just amazing so far.

I think that was a self-created fight, to be fair. Only the guy who posted it and like one other guy were going crazy about the site being close-minded. Anyone in a position of power was very responsible about it. I'm not sure how I feel about it being on the sakugabooru myself, because it's hard for me to think of how it's sakuga. But I'd love to have a CGbooru or something. |
