Then why chose it? I read the arguments and all, but why not chose THE absolute worst? |

I suppose it would have to be My hero as best, for runner up it would be Cutie Honey Universe(which I think did a better job than Crybaby by keeping a lot of the original themes intact), I do not have a worst, but it there was a show i enjoyed the least, it would be Golden Kamuy, mostly due to it's production values, CG bear and ugly backgrounds.

Most people don't pick what they don't fully watch. No surprise Hinamatsuri showed up 5 times. It was the surprise hit this season |

Full Metal Panic IV has been my favorite show of the season so far.
Best: Megalobx Runner-up: Hinamatsuri Least good: Cutie Honey Universe
I think this is an unfortunate function of the critics watching very few shows beyond what they review. I wish the term Worst was changed to least favorite or least good. Tadakoi is no way, no how the most terrible show of this season. |

Megalo Box and Hinamatsuri were excellent, and I am glad they got so many mentions. Nice to see a GeGeGe no Kitaro and Food Wars! third plate mention too. My Hero Aca at this point is just brilliant, as usual. Love that Bones animation.
Glad I was right in putting Cutie Honey Universe and Tadakoi on indefinite hold, and not watching Caligula or Magical girl ore AT ALL Might give Kakuriyo and Golden Kamuy second chances. Other surpise favorites: UmaMusume, Comic girls (still not caught up though), and gdi-why-do-these-episodes-pass-so-quickly Persona 5 (coming from someone who didn’t play the game). Good season, good times! |

Best:My Hero Academia; it's not like anything can compete with MHA in my mind. It's reach such heights this season, it's unbeatable
Runner-up: Legend of the galatic heroes Worst: None. |

So I'm the only one who actually liked this episode then? That's a shame, being the heavily interested anime staff contributor I am, I actually found it enjoyable among all the messiness. And putting aside the anime industry related stuff, the subtle joke about the American military using Saki and Sakuyo as their secret weapons against Chizilla after they spent all episode vacationing in Okinawa was absolutely perfect.
In the ongoing between Toei and GONZO for better animation quality, Toei wins. So did Nick watch only two anime this season or does he just not have a pick for worst? Last edited by Takkun4343 on Wed Jun 27, 2018 4:59 pm; edited 1 time in total |

These rankings are just opinions; they are not a directive on what to watch. Feel free to watch whatever catches your attention, regardless of what we think about. |

How did Gurazeni not make the list?? It's almost as if no one watched it!
Oh wait... |

You mean best or worse? Cause it did make worse in one spot. There's part of Gurazeni that I really like, I never watched a show that respected it's subject more than Gurazeni respect professional baseball. It's clear the person loves baseball but isn't infatuated with it to the point where it cloud there understanding. I love that the main character is an average player, not the super star or underdog or anything like that and also just his personality in general is really fun, honestly probably my favorite MC of the season. I love that it takes the time to explain the detail and minutia. But the actual writing is poor (I think they repeat "there's money under the mound" 5+ time in the first episode alone, and then multiple time every episode), the baseball is boring, partially because it uses poor CG model and partially because it never actually show a full game (with many game literally staying unfinished and we don't even learn the final results). And baseball is also a sport that's getting less popular with time (imo for good reason), so even if they did play full game I don't think it would have been that interesting. |

My best: Wotakoi
Runner-up: Kakuriyo Worst: Caligula I can understand why someone put Tada-kun in worst IT WAS A REALLY FRUSTRATING SHOW!!! spoiler[I mean, around 8 episodes there were nothing about Tada and Teresa, and suddenly Tada was in love with her in epi 9 when they had almost zero interaction, it was so random.] The show was focused on the wrong side and then they remember that the show was about Tada, and made some episodes to fulfill the purpose of the show Aalso, it was never explicitly mentioned why tada never falls in love, I mean i have some ideas but it wasnt really an issue during the show apart from him being apathic towards Teresa an Alec at first... In the end, the show seemed not to being well planed |

Best: Rokuhōdō Yotsuiro Biyori
This show was the absolute best. Every episode put a smile on my face. Some episodes made me tear up. The food looked gorgeous. Actually the show looked great overall. My favorite character was the sweets lover Tsubaki. I also loved Kinako (the best cat of the season) who will give you patt on the back when you are stressing out. This show was 100% underrated. It is a sweet slice of life show that will relax you any day. Runner up: Butlers x Battlers Worst: Magical Girl Ore |

I only watched Magical Girl Ore and Megalo Box this season, soooooooo I'm pretty sure you can determine how I'd rank them.
Now, I'm not sure if I'm going to watch any simulcasts at all next season, outside of one exception. I want to protest the hyperconsumption attitude currently promoted by Crunchyroll and the other streaming services, as well as the squalid conditions of the animators working on these shows.

It's been a weak season for me, especially compared to the previous one. There's really nothing that stood out for me nor interests me that much personally. I'm not as impressed as others by the first episode of Hinamatsuri and so I've been putting it on hold, might wanna check that out later.
