Sort of surprised at the cgct rankings. Superstar 2 is nowhere near as good as the 1st season, and I think it is roughly on par with Shine Post and slighly below Extreme Hearts. Teppen and Ars are pretty bad, but not worst of the season and I wouldn't place Prima Doll near the bottom either. At least LycoReco's ranking seems about right if lower than expected.

Science SARU's Yurei Deco has dropped precipitously in the rankings; dropped in mine, too.

The Yakuza's Guide to Babysitting survived the off-kilter social media episode and has prospered in the weeks since. Again pretty much my view as well.

I thought Call of the Night would be top 3 in the cummulative, but 6th is fantastic for a new IP. I am very surprised that Devil is outside the top 10.

I am a bit disappointed by this but not surprised. This part of the story simply isn't as dynamic (especially in the more fluid central relationships) as the first two volumes were. The third arc this season (adapting volume 5) is likely to be the best, though it still may not hit the level of the first season.

For other series, I'm a little surprised that Harem in the Labyrinth isn't lower. It's not World End Harem bad, but it's pretty dull as isekai series go.

Poor Teppen Crying or Very sad I was really rooting for this show when it was first announced on here. Unfortunately a lot of the humor seems to be lost in translation. The cancellation of the second episode probably didn’t help at all either.

Given how Devil Part Timer has somehow managed to look even worse than Biscuit Hammer at points I'm surprised there's such a gap between the two

No major surprises so far as all of my "Dropped" shows (some didn't even last to the 3 Episode drop test) are firmly at the bottom.

Devil is a part timer is being hobbled by terrible animation and a story arc that isn't great either, I and I think most of the fans expected more....

I'm enjoying Call of the night but although it looks good the material is slow, plodding and absolutely nothing interesting happens until you get to the "Detective arc" which isn't going to be adapted this season (if at all) at the current 3 episodes per volume rate.

Vermil in Gold - should pickup after this weeks episode as the basics have now been covered and we should see some action.

Dropkick is just so self-aware and the jokes work (unlike Teppen)

I thought the last episode of "Call of the Night" was the most interesting so far. Akira is a good addition to the cast. We'll see if she reappears down the road.

Have we seen all the members in the cast list here? Did I miss Tomatsu Haruka's performance?
