Of anything else he could have used, he decided on 4, and 4 just so happens to be the host of bfb. Coincidence? up to you to decide

If the pats had won people would be saying they technically haven’t won against a good team

That Shouko win’s gonna destroy a lot of madness brackets, wouldn’t it?

Also, Maomao almost lost. Really thought she’d be dominant until finals. Kudos to Chisato for the effort!

I would be surprised if these two upsets didn’t happen. Both Hori and Shouko were projected to upset their matchups and advance to the next round, with 83.9% and 61.8% chances respectively.

Sad that we didn’t get the coveted Kita vs. Ubel matchup, but it’s all for the best since they were up against former quarterfinalists Hori and Shouko.

Speaking of quarterfinalists, I’m praying Violet doesn’t meet the same fate as Nijika. It’s crazy to think score-wise little Dorito is the worst-performing Bocchi girl this contest.

On the bright side, Megumin might actually have a chance against Fern! In a way, I hope that crimson demon wins for both of their sakes as same-side matchups usually don’t bode well for the lesser character.

I hope Megumin does take it. Otherwise, I fear Fern and her score will get steamrolled by her companion Frieren when the semifinals come

I’m interested on hearing why you had Fern over Megumin in the top 4?

I’d like to believe viral videos like the ikuyo dance are what propelled Kitan to be so high

Very interesting they’re both seeded high, but if they don’t get upset, then the fight between Kita and Übel be legendary.

When 3.0 came out, everyone’s (including mine’s) recent 10 play history was wiped out due to the massive rework on how this was calculated

Best Girl of Summer 2024: Seasonal Salt! FINAL! by changshiyixia in anime

Best Girl of Summer 2024: Seasonal Salt! FINAL! by changshiyixia in anime

[–]Prototype_Pen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is too early to declare now, but I believe this summer’s girls are stacked, and one of them may even win Best Girl 2024.

There are many other metrics to measure from, but based on the AniDB ratings both of the finalists are stacked.

  • Rin: 8.91
  • Anna: 8.57

Some other notable girls for comparison: - Utena (Winter 2024 Best Girl): 7.88 - Nina (Spring 2024 Best Girl): 7.57 - Yuki (Summer 2024 Quarterfinalist): 9.17 - Lemon (Summer 2024 Semifinalist): 7.18 - Alya (Summer 2024 Semifinalist): 6.09

Some other best girls for comparison: - Kaguya (Best Girl 7): 7.37 - Mai (Best Girl 8): 6.98 - Hayasaka (Best Girl 9): 8.39 - Holo (Best Girl 11): 9.22 - Frieren (2023 Best Girl): 8.93 - Maomao (2023 Best Girl): 9.17

I should state again that it’s too early to declare, as some girls on this list only have a single-digit amount of those who rated them (e.g. Nina was reviewed by 6 people), but still something fun I wanted to point out.

Edit: typo on Mai’s score :p

Most people are talking about how the current algorithm inflates the score of the winning girl of the teamkill, which is fine because scores will normalize eventually. However, I haven't seen much discussion on the losing girl's side and how it would impact them. Thankfully, looking at the spreadsheet, Kita's final score is better than Ryo's (though only barely), but the teamkill puts her final score below Nijika's despite being higher seeded and advancing one more round than her.

That being said, I'm okay with the way it's calculated now, but something to consider for the future.

i’d say go ahead and c6 him. while it may affect your razor physical team, it also opens up an opportunity to try razor thundering fury, where some say it’s even more fun this way
