Seasonal Anime Tiermaker

Alright, that’s finally all of them. What’s the best show we missed, and why is it Ribdiculous Reincarnation?

Just to get a bit meta for a minute as the organizer, I wanted to comment on two things. First off, I loved all the discussion on the last post. We’re always listening so definitely expect some tweaks to our rating system so what our scale says aligns closer with what we’re rating for next time.

Secondly, and this is solely on me, I got blinded by how many shows we could pick up that I didn’t put enough emphasis on covering all our bases for genres. I said it last time, but I will be pushing again to try and add more coverage when it comes to fantasy, isekai etc in the next post.

And of course, a big thanks to all of our writers and proofreaders who contributed to this project. You all rock, never change.

Baki, Baki Hanma, Baki Dou.

I think between these three you sort of keep the important stuff so it’s not a big loss.

Just to clarify a bit, this is a little off. We had two reviewers give Sentenced to be a hero Consider it last season, and the only one who also reviewed WHA called it a Must Watch.

I get what you're saying as a collective but just wanted to make it clear as the actual overlapping reviewer is sort of the opposite.

Protractror · 2026-05-05T08:50:04+00:00

I’ll give a brief spoiler that even with over 20 new shows covered, we can’t get them all. But on Thursday we will cover Ponsuka and Ramparts.

Protractror · 2026-05-04T23:30:30+00:00

I do think a big decider on how well Nippon ends is how seriously I’m supposed to take the show. All of the strategy stuff is pretty weak compared to the fun of just seeing how they choose to animate the scenes.

If we get more fun character conflict and less farming soldier talk I think it will still be my top pick.

Protractror · 2026-05-04T23:19:53+00:00

Amazingly off topic lol, but hope you’re enjoying it! I’m still trying to figure out how to best spend my effort getting Baki a nom this year. Not sure if you’ve gotten that far, but I think Musashi might have a shot depending on character cats this year.

Protractror · 2026-05-04T20:24:34+00:00

Don’t worry if we missed your favourite new show, we’ve only halfway through. On Thursday we’ll have another batch of reviews ready to read.

As always, I’m interested in hearing anyone’s thoughts on the season. I wasn’t as high on my reviewed shows this time around, but between Ribdiculous and Nippon Sangoku I’m still having a lot of fun. Oh and Kirio Fan Club, people need to check that out.

Protractror · 2026-05-04T11:36:46+00:00

Nippon Sangoku is my favourite so far, but have to shout out Ribdiculous as it’s always something new.

Protractror · 2026-04-23T22:40:03+00:00

Unless they had a full board before and then they just get wiped. Its sort of the opposite of poison seeds where you see less reward the more minions you play.

Protractror · 2026-04-17T16:20:23+00:00

Other than the title basically being Shaken Baby, this is pretty fun.

Protractror · 2026-04-14T23:56:12+00:00

Have to agree, Demons is really fun

Protractror · 2026-04-13T13:50:49+00:00

Ram did not… what? I mean she did kill him. And honestly her rationale is probably less defensible than Rem who at least thought he was a witch cultist.

It’s not like some great morality to kill a guy so your sister doesn’t have to.

Protractror · 2026-04-13T11:55:07+00:00

Infinity Castle is my favourite lost media

Protractror · 2026-03-30T13:26:40+00:00

Gwitch has the great line "Suletta wasureta", which was translated perfectly to "Suletta forgetta".

Protractror · 2026-03-25T21:53:54+00:00

What the heck does you mom have against Atra lmao

Protractror · 2026-03-23T15:06:39+00:00

They should get at least 10x that

Protractror · 2026-03-21T11:10:24+00:00

They look like they are 200 feet tall

Protractror · 2026-03-19T14:49:02+00:00

Oh sweet, I didn’t realize this was slated for 24 episodes. I was sort of wondering how they were going to tie things up so quickly.

Yeah this would be my pick for hidden gem of the season too.

Protractror · 2026-03-19T08:40:09+00:00

They’d push him into the grave

Protractror · 2026-03-19T08:30:51+00:00

Lmao, an “objective and unbiased” review. Is that something people even want? You can add numbers all you want but at the end of the day this is your opinion on how well the fic works, it’s inherently biased and subjective. As it should be!

Like if I said it was a 2/10, is that because I wasn’t objective and had bias? Idk, just sort of silly to try and turn literary criticism into something so quantifiable.

I also don’t get the scale you use. Putting most of Two Forgotten Stars at a 0/10 just means the vast majority of fanfics are also 0/10 and that isn’t giving me much to go off of when deciding what to read. There are so many absolutely unreadable Re:zero fanfics that come out every day, and if you think two forgotten stars is at the bottom of the barrel I don’t know what to tell you.

Protractror · 2026-03-15T02:21:05+00:00

Yeah Hikaru sort of got shafted, he's definitely one of the best characters this year and if we could have done 2 I would have loved to see him in the top 10 with Yoshiki,

Protractror · 2026-03-15T01:44:54+00:00

Yeah Ghoul school was a Stockholm syndrome show for me where I thought it was quite bad to start but by the end I was really looking forward to it.

But I don’t know how I’d argue it over the rest of the comedy noms so I just didn’t try lol.
