I mean, strictly speaking, it's Magical Girl Site, if you're talking about stuff that polled well enough to maybe cover (if we're being charitable, which we try to be), but lack of resources/interest on the reviewer side won out. Either way, both MGS and HTR were the fringe exclusions of their season in the poll. |
Will there be a season review of HTR at some point? I think it just kind of got lost in the recent flood of anime, and deserves more of an audience than it seems to have gotten. |
I really hope we get a season review for HTR, I was upset when it didn't get a daily streaming review, it was really underrated, HTR deserves more love.

I remember actually finding that series tolerable. I'm looking for review candidates from Winter 2018 series that didn't get episode reviews, so I might give it a try myself once the last two episodes air.
Concerning the Spring 2018 season, out of morbid curiosity I watched the just-released second episode of Magical Girl Site and it was actually tolerable as dark magical girl series go. Me doing a cumulative review at the end of the season is a probability now.

Uhh, don't remind me that it's almost over!  I didn't know anything about IDOLiSH7 before watching the anime, or what to expect going into it, but it turned out to be one of my favorites of the winter season, and I actually have plans to binge watch it all at once real soon (yeah I found it that good!).
Also Hakata Tonkoksu Ramens. I LOVED this show. I'm ashamed as an anime fan, that it was so underrated. This was a really fun ride, with great voice acting, and an interesting storyline.

Is there a specific reason as to why Nick isn't reviewing anything?
If it wasn't for 3-gatsu last season, this would basically be two seasons in a row without him having a show to review.

...yeah...I'm noticing this as a trend as well...
Last season we didn't get reviews for Saniro Boys, Touken Ranbu 2, and IDOLiSH7. And this season we didn't get Libra of Nil or Rokuhoudou Yotsuiro Biyori. Kinda sad 'bout all of these cause I voted for all of them. I love me some bishounen. <3

It's not for lack of interest on a reviewer's part - I volunteered for most of those shows.  IDOLiSH7's also on my radar for a full review, so Theron and I will duke it out.

Between MGS and Yotsuiro Biyori, Yotsuiro is more likely the one to turn out "good". Based on the few posts here, Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens is really loved by the few who watched it. It would be nice if Yotsuiro has a similar response by its end. Seems like it has that potential.

Ohhh, I can't wait for that review! 
Seriously though...I can't tell you how many times I've watched episode 9...it's comedy gold for me.

Nick's taking a break from daily streaming reviews, he would have started that break last season, but he had to finish out March first since no one else was caught up on it.

I'm not really surprised MGS didn't get picked up. I'm sure that first episode drove away a ton of people, and I'm not surprised the reviewers were repelled. I read the first 4 volumes of the manga, and I do think it gets fairly interesting, but it's definitely not for the faint of heart. The first chapter/episode is one of the worst, but it remains fairly grim.

I dunno, while the show could've been a lot of fun if Chris Farris reviewed it (the manga was a pretty big trainwreck that reminded me of King's Game by the end), the first episode was also boring and grimy. Similarly to MGS, I can see people not being moved to vote for it.

I know it is just a build fighters spin off, but I'm a bit shocked Gundam didn't make the cut.
