With Shield Hero being added to the mix, I would be shocked if it doesn't get voted in again. There's definitely at least one reviewer eager to tackle it, too. Wink

I hope to see Bamboo continue it of course, but if she's too busy it's understandable.

I'm blown away by the animation talent and sheer creative enthusiasm on display in Eizouken. I don't necessarily know if it's going to be a personal favorite of mine, and I'm also completely in agreement with Theron's review in that Yuasa's style has just never clicked for me in the past so I had no personal hype for this one, but I got chills from the first episode.


I sincerely want to know what's so good about the show. Seriously, I don't get it. Maybe I am stupid but this seems Average at best to me


There's a few gimmick tricks. So what? Yuasa's trademark 5th grader-inspired artwork (usually the hallmark of someone who. like Hitler, can't do faces) is a drag on whatever good the show brings and the story is just standard "friends doing stuff because friends" fare.

I just asked her if she would. I’d just hate to see it not reviewed because of an oversight of it being left off the list

The same thing happened with Kono oto Tomare last season

UPDATE:

Chihayafuru 3 was added so you can go vote for it if you'd like.
I added Iruma-kun based on popular demand, so you can vote for that as well.

Already voted so that doesn't help me, but seeing how it's in the top quintile for favorite anime of 2019 survey I can't imagine it'll have any issue with support assuming Bamboo wishes to continue.

Please, if you lose the reviewer for a show like, say, My Hero Academia, offer someone the chance to shift from a dumpster fire to that one instead.

Yep, votes are editable up until the time they close the survey. And thanks for adding those in!

If you don't like Eizouken then you don't like it, and that's fine. And I'm not giving it unqualified praise, either; I think the 'theatricality' and the stylized portrayals in a show like this can really keep you at arms' length (a problem I have with Yuasa's stuff in general) and you end up admiring it more for technical proficiency rather than really entering into the world of the show.

But surely there's nothing strange with a show that's a pure love letter to animation, and which features excellent animation, being praised by fans of animation? For me there's a vicarious pleasure in the enthusiasm of the characters, and a reminder of why I came to like this stuff in the first place.

I thought sakugablog had a good writeup of some of the techniques that made the first ep feel so successful, if you're interested in what other people see in it.

Reiji (also spelled “Rage” and still pronounced “Reiji”)

Because the two are pronounced the same way: "reeji". It's why people and characters named "Jouji" (such as seiyuu Nakata Jouji, or ParaKiss character Koizumi Jouji) sometimes write their names as "George", because it's a homonym.
