Yeah, these are the shows I’m a little bummed about, too. On the other hand, I’m surprised and delighted that 22/7 and In/Spectre made the cut.

Disappointed that pet didn’t make it...
Other than that, I’m looking forward to reading the Somali and Hanako-kun reviews.

No Pet, no Iruma but ID Invaded made it? Something went wrong here.

Looks like a lot of my choices made it in. I would have been curious to see Seton and Orphen make it in. I didn't think of pet when voting, but that would have been interesting as well. Hopefully we get some season reviews for them

He's been reviewing such shows here for years, and has a wealth of experience to speak from regarding whether new entries are good or bad. I'd rather hear his opinion on them than anyone else's, frankly. |
Agreed!

Although I don't watch Iruma-kun, I would love to read reviews of Iruma-kun's episodes. Can someone rescue Iruma-kun(didn't similar happen to Given, which originally it didn't make it to reviews on ANN but eventually it was rescued). I'm feel bad for Iruma-kun fans.

Welp, poor Theron Martin, who he'll review Interspecies Reviewers with super fan service.

It's a different take on sports anime that we rarely get to see, and I felt that Rebecca would have been a great choice to review the show, given she reviewed Stars Align, another original sports anime, last season. Guess that's the curse of the majority of sports anime.

It really is, which is a shame, because a lot of them are equally (if not more) about the character relationships and dynamics rather than the sport, and I think that's an interesting way to look at teams. Thanks for the vote of confidence, though - I'm planning to do a full review at the end of the season.

uh, i'm surprised that Pet didn't make the cut.. i guess it was too much of a mind fudge for some people and they really didn't like the first episode. thats sad because episode 2 got way better and explained what happened.
A good surprise tho is Budoukan making the cut, even tho people here seems to be creeped out by it for some reason.

Looks like it. Is Sam Leach taking a break? |
One Piece - and Black Clover - reviews will return shortly. Sam did retire from his role here - we’re still hiring some fresh faces to fill those spots. We’ll update this article when we do. Shouldn’t be too long a wait. |
I'm really grateful that this got clarified. I check the website everyday and I've been missing them but I started to really worry when I saw they weren't mentioned in the article.
I love lots of anime and read all the reviews for the ones I'm interested in but One Piece and Black Clover (And Boruto) are my year-round obsessions. This is also good news because I didn't necessarily like Sam's thoughts on them so it was usually a bittersweet experience. Looking forward to the next reviewer! Hopefully they're big fans!

Why don’t we get to see the poll results?

The poll is intended to assist in editorial's decisions which shows get covered - it does not, however, serve as a dictator that makes our decisions for us. We've never published the full results for that reason, so they cannot be used as a cudgel against us if we decide to cover something that's low on the list, or decide not to cover something that's relatively high. There are many, many factors in producing daily streaming reviews - it also takes into account what our writers actually want to cover, which in some cases may not be something that rated very high. Our budget dictates that we can only cover 20 shows - and those are hand-picked by myself and Lynzee, based on poll results, our perception of reader interest, and what our writers tell us they'd like to write about.
Maintaining a sense of autonomy outside of poll results is pretty important, and people can be... let's say very, very pushy about it otherwise.

Everything I voted for got in except Pet and Jewler Richard
I think Pet especially would have benefited from reviews but oh well
At least Chihayafuru made it despite being added a bit late

Just as a side note, a lot of the shows that weren't selected for weekly reviews will instead be covered by This Week In Anime.
Black Clover and, as I said earlier, One Piece reviews will be returning shortly - we're in the process of hiring new writers for them. Shouldn't take too long.

This. This has frustrated me for a while. Maybe this isn’t the place to bring it up but I don’t love how ANN handles these situations. I totally get that stuff happens-—reviewers leave, scheduling conflicts crop up, etc.—but, I mean, like let us know, man, don’t leave us hanging.
Maybe, moving forward, ANN could add a footnote to the final review and/or (with my preference being “and”) post a note in the comments saying the review is going on hiatus? I’m not asking for any back story or details about someone’s personal life or anything. Just a little heads-up so we’re not left wondering, week after missed week, what’s going on.
And I get that you guys don’t always know what’s going to happen and maybe hope there’s just going to be a week’s delay but, when it gets longer than that, I really think someone should step in and let readers—your fans and followers—know that there’s going to be a pause.
