Good, because that one may be an "I don't have time for it" casualty for me despite the history that they're working into it. |

How did Date A Live miss the cut? The franchise is hugely successful.

I believe only Theron has seen both the previous seasons and he didn't seem to be all that interested in the 3rd season. On top of that Index S3 (which Theron is already reviewing weekly) airs the same day as Date A Live.

If James had any reservations about reviewing Hand Shakers Too, we would honor them. We don't ever pressure our staff to write about material that they don't want to cover.
And to the person who asked how WATATEN did in the poll, it did very poorly, as did Uzamaid. |

Where the hell is the review for Kemono Friends 2?

I'm one of its viewers, but this past arc has me thinking about dropping it. The first few episodes were reasonably compelling with the relationship among Narumi, Shirogane, and Masaru. Now we are in the middle of a somewhat ridiculous fighting arc involving characters I have little interest in. If the show doesn't regain its emotional core, it won't be on my list much longer. |

Yeah, there's definitely no need to feel sorry for me
 I play up the franchise's faults for laughs, but I've definitely never been forced to review anything I didn't want to. I'm hoping W'z will be fun, though I can't say for sure what form that "fun" will take.

disappointing not to see The Magnificent Kotobuki on the list, with Girls Und Panzer having such a following i thought it'd be more anticipated

My favorite reviewer quote ever was during the airing of Tsuki ga Kirei... About midway through the season the reviewer posted "the hardest thing about reviewing this series is not just simply filling the page with so cute, so good!"
Not successful enough to poll highly enough it seems.
The ANN staff has made it clear in the past the reviewers sign up (volunteer) for which shows they would be willing to cover - and then they match those volunteers to the results of the reader poll. If James is reviewing W'z, it's because he agreed to do so. |

@DerekL1963- I based my comments on the HandShakers reviews but I didn't mean to insinuate coercion was at work so much as sometimes there is a confluence in volunteering of cohorts preferring not to handle a task and both they and you recognize you are the best choice for it even if it isn't exactly "fun". You agree to do it, no bent feelings and one is compensated for the effort so no complaints. Then there are things you just jump at the opportunity to volunteer for which are a joy and that is the distinction I was describing. |

Hopefully it ends up being worth writing about =) |

If this is true then it's beyond my understanding how you wanted to do the weekly Death March reviews, there was no episode where you didn't complain about every little detail. And it wasn't even in the middle of the series, from the beginning you showed you had problems with it xD. Anyway, WataTen is being great but I agree that it would be difficult to do a weekly review. On the other hand, it should also be clear that although the premise sounds like Uza Maid, the show is far from the degenerate level of that series (though Uza Maid had a lot of other things to offer and I ended up enjoying it a lot). A shame for Date a Live 3, I enjoyed the first episode a lot and it seems that it will be as much fun as the previous seasons, hopefully at least it can maintain the visual quality of the first episode (which was not a wonder either, but it was fine). |
