The problem is that series like Yashahime get bad-mouthed here so much that readers tend to underestimate just how popular the series is. Likewise, supporters for Dragon Quest tend to be vocal but are actually a small subset. To put this in perspective, Yashahime has twice the number of ratings on CR that Dragon Quest does, for basically the same number of aired episodes. Number of ratings certainly isn't a reliable indicator of relative quality, but it's usually a good indicator of relative popularity. (By comparison, Demon Slayer has 8x as many ratings as Yashahime.) |

Well, everything I voted for, except The Vampire dies in no time. It's a pity, but, then again, I am glad people voted for Ranking of Kings and Lupin III.

I'm just wondering why we're getting reviews for a show that's just a TV recut of a movie, instead of something brand new.

That's an easy answer in two parts: 1. People want it 2. It's Demon Slayer |

Plus if they differ from the movie in terms of outcome and how things go down then it is technically new. Just sayin. At least it would be a new experience for the material. |

A bit disappointed World Trigger and DQ didn't make it, but was obviously expecting the latter wouldn't (it'd be downright out-of-character for it to do well in the review polls at this point
 ), and, in retrospect, not especially surprised by WT either. Agree with the post above that suggested there's just more competition this season, and that WT's kind of an odd duck of a show; its storytelling style definitely often lacks, um, energy, and I think that probably makes it easy for other shows to overtake it in popularity.
I wonder if ANN would consider, when posting these "We're gonna review these shows!" articles, also highlighting which shows didn't make the cut? Can of course go back to the poll and compare myself, but would be neat and convenient to have them in the same article for an easy check.
I realize this wasn't Lynzee soliciting comments from the peanut gallery, but I have a peanut to throw anyway: I would personally think this is completely fine for ANN to do, so long as it was clearly marked as a "sponsored series review" or something, those were kept to a limited number of slots per season, and the reviews themselves maintained critical quality, of course (but I don't think ANN's anywhere near in danger of acting as a sponsored mouthpiece for the Anime-Industrial Complex, despite the occasional weird conspiracy theory in the forums!). I dunno -- maybe there'd be general backlash and my opinion on this is an outlier, or it might feed into preexisting speculation, but that sounds like a fine way for ANN to make some extra revenue to me. And, hey, maybe some of the producers of lesser known titles would even show they know something we don't, if they think their work is good enough that all it needs is a bit of extra attention to do well. (Or, maybe we'd end up with a lot of memes about terrible series people paid to get reviews of?  )
