No Chaos Dragon this season! Bottom two cumulative slots flipped right away.

No surprise that Apothecary and Orb are on top; they are the clear best two series of the season so far.

As expected from Winter season offerings sequels are on top, with Apothecary and 100 girlfriends leading with their consistently great adaptation.

I'm not really surprised but it is sort of... disappointing? unfortunate? to see Okitsura ranked so low.

I mean I get it. It is a show about how hard it is to understand a dialect of a language that most of the viewers don't speak, and though the translators have made a good go of it, i found it best to just turn off the english subtitles.

But really, lower than Fruitmaster?

Honey Lemon Soda ought to be higher and Witchy Pretty Cure!! MIRAI DAYS should be on here and at #1, otherwise I’m pleased to see my other currently watching pretty high. I Want to Escape from Princess Lessons flopped so hard; I agree with its spot here too.

Oh, of course -- forgot this part.

Of the 23 series in the Preview Guide that didn't make the cut for streaming reviews, the ones that weren't popular enough to rank here were:


  1. Anyway, I'm Falling in Love with You.
  2. Aquarion: Myth of Emotions
  3. Baban Baban Ban Vampire
  4. Farmagia
  5. Ishura Season 2
  6. Kinnikuman: Perfect Origin Arc Season 2
  7. Promise of Wizard

It may be a case where viewers who aren't interested in languages and cross-cultural exposure/exploration conclude it isn't for them versus a fairly standard fantasy show which has it's fanbase. In that genre, Fruitmaster I'd rate as "mid-to-low" which is likely why it is were it is. I was surprised it was as high actually...
