Kinda shocked at how many shows were picked up, even in a hot season like this.

Perhaps I'm better off not knowing, but I'll still ask. How poorly did Digimon Beatbreak and To Your Eternity S3 do in the polls? They were my top choices, so this result stings, but if they had to land in the reject pile, I'm hoping they're at least near the top. lol

Did Tojima Wants to be Kamen Rider get dropped? I didn't see it on the list.

All of the shows I'm watching got picked up except for Digimon and A Gentle Noble's Vacation Recommendation.
I enjoyed reading the Digimon reviews so I'm sad they'll be gone.
As for the other show (not saying that name again), after the 1st episode I didn't think it was the show that needed reviews the most. However, the second episode was a lot more subtle to the extent where it would have been nice to have a reviewer clear things up or share their interpretations.
It's a really packed season so I don't blame anyone for them not getting picked.

Quite surprised (but not displeased) to see that Invisible Man made the cut, and pleased to see Richard doing Fate since he seems to know the franchise well. Also particularly looking forward to Sylvia's commentary on Roll Over and Lauren's commentary on Oshi no Ko.

The one title that wasn't picked up that I was somewhat interested in seeing weeklies for is Kaya-chan Isn't Scary, but I'm not surprised it didn't make the cut.

Actually a huge letdown that TYE and Digimon has been dropped, since I really enjoy both shows and their respective weekly reviews

It did. I am as shocked as you are. I'll be sure to write up a review of the back half of the series once it wraps!

Digimon Beatbreak and To Your Eternity were actually pretty dang close to the cut-off line (higher than Tojima Kamen Rider) if that makes you feel a little better Smile

While I'm sad to see Eternity dropped, my only real disappointment in this list was the lack of Gentle Noble's Vacation. It's in my top three favorite debuts this season, and its second episode teased developments that would've offered food for comment. C'est la vie. Smile

Seems like everything I was really hoping for (all the shojosei, Bean Counter, Polar Opposites, and Gnosia) got picked up for reviews! I'm so glad to see it, usually shojo doesn't make the cut.

Ironically, I was getting tired of tye and Tojima. It felt Fushi is going nowhere with his mission while Tojima is barely a character. The only ones I feel motivated to watch are Oshi no Ko and Frieren. The Jujutsu Kaisen premiere was fun but everything turned into fighting monologues. Samurai Troopers had a mindblowing premiere really with really dark content but the second episode downright downplays the tragedy like if it was actually a lighthearted show with the protagonist feeling like a clone of Inuyasha

That's most unfortunate, since it's the only series I was planning on keeping up with. Nothing else this season appealed to me. Ah well, I'll check back at the end of the season for the review.

I was worried Hell Teacher Nube would not make the cut but this was a pleasant surprise. Besides Pretty Cure and The Demon's Daughter is too cute not making the cut I'm satisfied. Hopefully we'll see those last two in This week In anime. I'll settle for just pic of that last one in a out of context way.

Yeah it's unfortunate that the way scheduling worked Star Detective wasn't even an option and it was just You and Idol on its way out as a choice
