Current percentage of Nicolive voters that gave the latest episodes of the currently airing Winter cour shows top marks, making for a decently accurate popularity ranking list.How do their tastes measure up to your own, anons?
Final episode for a lot of shows this week, only a few still have an episode left to go.
>>287043019Should I start Princession
>Rider beat Frieren Fuck yeah.
>>287043051It's very good if you like shows for little girls.
>>287043019>OnK that highI thought nips hated the ending?
14 shows rated over 90That feels like a lot more than most cours.
>>287043019Kinme fell...
>>287043051>>287043079People starting, say, Precure, are likely to get filtered 30 episodes in when the filler starts getting stale, but I think Princession is more approachable to the average late night anime fan in that regard.
>>287043149The ending will be next season
>>287043149The anime just covered the peak of the manga
>>287043019>Tojima higher than gayjutsuBASED NIPPON
Whats JJK doing so high up on the chart? Between the incomprehensible plot, practically nonexistent story, characters who are about as interesting as cardboard, and nauseating action scenes, this season's been borderline unwatchable.
>>287043218Why make these posts when the difference is nearly null? And when you count the other positive marks almost everything is rated well.
>>287043626But enough about Frieren.
>>287043019>my two favorites this season at the topThe japanese were based for once.Was Gnosia that good? I oughta give it a try.
>>287043051The first two cours introduce the main trio in the first couple episode, then nothing of note happens until episode 24 where they fight the big bad. It's really bad and really boring. Don't bother
>>287043741Gnosia was great, made me pick up the game it was based on too.
>>287043051Princession is great. Shame about the sub situation though.
>Tojima at the topWe did it bros...We fucking made it
>>287043019The Toujima finale is at the top, where it should be.
so what was so horrible about pic rel?
>>287043925>>287043987Season 3 will happen....
>>287043734The second season of Freiren has been a tad disappointing too. I feel like the overall world-building and logic took a hit, and aside from that one episode with a big fight, it's been rather uneventful. Not sure why you brought Frieren up, though.
>>287043051>morning slot filling magic girl show #57813But why would you make this question, assuming is not a genre that you follow you should be checking other things first.
>>287043019Tojima and Gnosia both going into this Season and delivering was very satisfying.
>>287044058How much manga left is there?
Frieren ratings S2Ep1 - 90.1Ep2 - 90.5Ep3 - 91.8Ep4 - 90.3Ep5 - 92.3Ep6 - 91.6Ep7 - 94.2Ep8- 96.0Ep9 - 92.9Ep10 - 93.8I kneel
>>287044106Incomprehensible plot, nonexistent story, character that can barely be considered as such, and in fact one episode with garbage action scenes.
>>287043626Japs love it
>>287043019They're sadly right about Trigun Stargaze.
Frieren and JJK deserve their ratings once you get over your contrarianism Glad for Seihantai it's really good Ikoku Nikki should be way up, one of the best this season Uruwashi no Yoi no Tsuki should be lower
>>287043019Its that good for Yusha-kei ni Shosu?>>287044203>>287043734lol gayjutsu is the worst shonen i ever seen, i literally can't tell what is even happening on the screenyou have to be actually braindead to like that shit>>287044220No they dont, they rightfully shit on it
>>287043925Should I watch it if the only thing I've seen of Kamen Rider is Fuuto PI: The Portrait of Kamen Rider Skull (found it on an airplane flight)?
>>287044272Yes, i never watched Kamen Rider at all and i loved it. It's really fucking good and the OST is by Teddyloid
>>287044254>Its that good for Yusha-kei ni Shosu?89 is pretty high, this was just a very solid cour with lots of competition.
>>287044106Last weeks episode being about how nothing happening is part of the adventure. People complain that not much is happening. fucking kek
The problem with this thread's format is that it misses the fact that it's like a 5 star rating system but you're only seeing the percentage of people that gave it a 5 (though in this case a 1 because 1 is the best).>>287044254>Its that good for Yusha-kei ni Shosu?yeah that's good, here's the full count
>>287044462The characters within a story and the viewers are having two different kinds of adventure. Though nothing happening is a natural part of life, this does not automatically translate into something exciting when watched on a screen. My statement about S2 being somewhat uneventful does not contradict anything.
>>287044705Because that's what matters, you retard.
>>287044705There's also OP lying, 1% is like 20 retards.
>>287044878all of it matters, you don't look at only a product's 5 star reviews
>>287044878Shiboyugi can get to 70% with positive marks, cry about it.
>>287044954That's pretty bad when all other shows get in the 90s.
>>287045061Yes, whole thing is a joke and doesn't reflect anything concrete.
>>287044031I liked it.
My takeway is this-I'm surprised the Kamen Rider anime beat Frieren, though maybe it deserves it and I'm sure I'd like it if I gave a fuck about Kamen Rider.And I'm disappointed that Digimon Beatbreak isn't on the list.
>>287044031Director kino too much for nips who can't appreciate art.But basically>adaption was very liberal, added some original content, main character personality a little different, order different from LN>often slowpaced, many artistic shots, cut 90% of various explanations for a more show don't tell approach Many people who liked the LN disliked the anime because it was different, adhd zoomers disliked it because it was too slow, brainlets disliked it because they didn't understand things without them being explained (note: nips love explanations)On the other hand, a bunch of people loved it (was aots for me). One of the more divisive shows I've seen.The director managed to turn a run of the mill death game slop into something actually different, and without a high budget too, judging by the animation. For many games, it managed to create a very tense atmosphere. The use of sound and silence was excellent, I've never seen an anime with as good sound design. But you can ruin both of these for yourself with improper watching conditions. Can't imagine how shit it would be to watch it on a phone screen, that especially should be made illegal.For the story, the director put a stronger focus on the conflict, growth and resolution of the MC's issues, and fit a good complete experience within the 11 episodes.
>autistic grown adults schizoing about old super hero shows is the top pickHuh
>>287045201You don't really need to know anything about Kamen Rider to enjoy Tackle's show. You just need to not be dead inside.
>>287043019Carl was not able to overcome the wall of 30...
>>287045300She's a woman before she's a player. Women hit the wall at 25 so it's alright
>>287044378>>287044705Nice, cant wait for s2
>>287043626>>287044254A manga about men punching men has an adaptation that has men punch men in motion with a high budget. No shit its fans are going to like it. And if you enjoy action anime there's a lot of admire.
>>287044254>Its that good for Yusha-kei ni Shosu?3 things1) those ratings mean literally nothing2) they for the ep11, not for the absolute masterpiece which is ep123) At least it is 89 is not 86, heh. Teoritta is clearly a superior penal loli
>>287045201i dont give a fuck about kamen rider and i liked itits literally power of autism
>>287045451>a lot to admire
>>287045291>You just need to not be dead inside.Let's be real, that's a high bar considering where we are.
>>287043019I only watched Kinme's show
>>287043019Trigun too high
>>287045455>those ratings mean literally nothingbased sales bro
>>287045451>And if you enjoy action anime there's a lot of admire.Hard disagree on this one, chief. Most of JJK's action scenes looked like someone was smearing shit on my monitor from the inside. Just about every other battle anime that's still airing both looks much better when things get real and is overall better directed. This is actually why I'm so confused about JJK's popularity when even Fate/strange Fake not only has cleaner and nicer looking action scenes, but also likable characters making these action scenes actually worthwhile. Then there's also Jigokuraku but this one's not on the list.
>>287045451>A manga about men punching men has an adaptation that has men punch men in motion with a high budget.Tojima has 1/3 of the budget and has better men punching men than JJKI literally can't tell whats going on in the screen in JJK
>>2870454551 thing1) You post this every week, nobody cares.
>>287045994>You post this every week
>>287043019Fuck yeah Tojima.
>>287043626This is the only episode that rated this high, it was usually down around the middle.
>>287043019Tamon-kun!
where is fire force
>>287043019Pretty weak compared to last season
>>287043019shibo yugi is shit lmao
>>287043019>frierenI feel like this is a psyop at this point. I can understand liking the quaintness of the first season but now it's just another nothing happens show.
>>287047238>Ruri beat everything this courShe truly rocks.
>>287047295It's a so-so show.
>>287047238>last seasonAnon, that's 2 seasons ago.Last season was ass.
>>287044031Too kino.
>>287045236You do realize the artistic lingering shots are just zero budget right
>>287044031It was an LN adaptation that didn't follow the LN at all. The premise was extremely generic so nobody watched it except fans of the LN, who hated it because it wasn't a faithful adaptation, and dumpster divers who go out of their way to watch shows they think will be shit.It was actually the best show of the season.
>>287043019>>287045955>Jigokuraku not on the listWhy?
>>287048209https://www.jigokuraku.com/onair/
>>287047970They aren't mutually exclusive. They can still serve a purpose that couldn't be achieved otherwise while still basically stemming from budgetary constraints. Like ep 5 which depicts the emptiness of Carl's life. This is quite different from the usual animation budget savings like heavy uses of panning to depict motion and speed lines, which serve absolutely no purpose except to save on the budget.Also, many of the long shots have little to do with the animation budget and much more to do with artistic vision. Ep 1's starting scene is a good example of this, with full view of the room with Carl slowly moving out of the view and back into it. Various other scenes in ep 1 do the same. You can see a clear avoidance of lazy pans there, which could be used to cut costs.
>>287043019So this is the power of autism...
Jingai should be much lower
>>287047295A lot happened. Mostly for Stark. If you only care about the elf than I kinda get it, but this season was great for Stark, which was very needed after putting him on ice for a while last season.
>>287044031It's absolute kino of the highest order
>>287043019Mayonaka ended up mich higher than I expected
>>287043019Hell Mode deserved better.
>>287044031the question should be what WASN'T horrible about it.
>>287050264Too little pink.
>>287051636
>>287043051You missed your chance
>>287044031It's still burning to this day.
>>287044031Elevens rate based on how closely it adapted. this one followed it very loosely so they got filtered.
>>287044031It was a success, the LN and manga have enjoyed explosive sales following the anime and the anime first volume is coming with a dakimakura for the main character, by all measurable means that matter, it was a success. Haters can only cope and seethe.
>>287052150The anime is so shit people want to experience the actual story.
>>287043019Tojima is so slept on
>>287052150Total Carl Victory
>>287044272Yes. The characters are autists who explain all of the Showa era references, so you won't need to have watched any of those seasons beforehand. Would recommend the rest of Fuuto PI and Kamen Rider W if you liked the Skull movie.
>>287047238>turkey at 61.2 while gacen was at 92.6I don't know how they managed to get those the wrong way around.
>>287047238Last season was this one.
>>287053460Alma-chan was good shit.
>>287053460>Towa no YugureGod damn what a shitshow that was.
>>287051669
>>287053199>Movie announcedTOTAL CARL VICTORY
>>287054688that show was great but you faggot(s) are not ready for this conversation
>this bad show was good actually
>>287052150are people seriously lining up for a dakimakura of THIS??
>>287043626>Between the incomprehensible plot, practically nonexistent story, characters who are about as interesting as cardboard, and nauseating action scenes, this season's been borderline unwatchable.But enough about Frieren
>>287055535Yes
>>287055401One day you will learn to think by yourself.
>>287056412I watched Towa no Yugure and it was aids.
>Tojima that HighBased>Ao no Miburo that lowCringe as fuck; fucking nips, why they can't be just based
>>287055795>whoring out your mc like that just to sell some extra discs
>>287057649Better than playing death games for money.
>>287043019>29.1Hoho
>>287043019Based Frieren.
>>287043019>Osananajimi - 71.4favorite opening in the season for mehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS5cnp62GuQ
>>287043218She's high up thereI'm surprised she had such great exposure
>>287052150There are no bad advertisements, success from scandals
>>287043626>Whats JJK doing so high up on the chart?What is Sousou no Frieren doing so high up the chart?What is Oshi no Ko S3 doing so high up the chart?God I hate you NPCs so much.>some silly thing makes the NPC drop Jujutsu Kaisen after the NPC loves it for 5 years straight>now he wants to pretend he never liked it in the first place
I can't believe Shiboyugi announced a movie.
The Trigun reboot/remake has been nothing but embarrassing.
>>287060108So has the Kimengumi one. Fuck remake.
>>287060079jujutsu was always bad 1vs1 shit, fieren is great and oshi no ko was good until the ending. its just popular slop for the masses, the marvel of anime
>>287045955Fate SF needs more than 3 iq to understand it, while most battle shounen fans are 0-2 iq.
>>287060090Oh, you can't believe it? Why? Because MUH JAPAN HAS SPOKEN? Because umm, like, hatewatching isn't rhe same as watching okay?! Well guess what, Carl's show succeeded like we've been saying thread after thread. But the cope just kept on going with LN BOOST DOESN'T COUNT and BLURAY SALES DON'T COUNT and STREAMING NUMBERS DON'T COUNT like what the fuck do you think counts? That's every metric! Holy shit. Apologize.
>>287043800Just like super Sentai
>>287061448>doubling down on being an NPCJujutsu no Kaisen was unwatchable trash from season 1. It was just another Naruto wannabe who succeeded where BC (the Naruto wannabe Pierrot actually picked up) because it copied the things fujos liked in Naruto and it gave male NPCs an excuse to pretend it's different ("G-GUYS IT'S INSPIRED BY... Hunter x Hunter!!! Also this is definitely the next Bleach, not the next Naruto" [as if that would make a difference, and no, it was the next Naruto, deal with it]).Sousou no Frieren was unwatchable trash from season 1, I am proud to have dropped it at the "oh my god he changed his hairstyle and danced with me?" episode. It sold itself as "I am a deep mature fantasy that is dealing with emotional problems after all the bad guys were already defeated". Instead it was generic fantasy slop with safe-for-the-masses generic characters and a pathetic plot that any genAI could come up with.Oshi no Ko was unwatchable trash the moment it lost all hope for originality in its first episode (I thought that maybe the native isekai'd doctor and cancer female would stay in toddler mode a bit longer). You need to be either 9 year old or an actual subhuman without awareness of the things he's consuming to be impressed by this.>"Why yes, please, virgin grass eater mangaka, tell me of the DARK SIDE OF THE IDOL INDUSTRY, I bet you know all about it!"Jujutsu Kaisen at least had had a chance to come up with something later in season 1 (the other Naruto copies had at least... maybe one positive thing you could say about them) but it never did it was just slop upon slop with no plot twists.The other two I correctly declared inhuman shit well before their first season (or even first episode) ended.The only reason you don't like JJK anymore is because something happened in your Latinx social groups that told you to stop liking it. You cannot actually express what makes JJK shit.
>>287062333jjk is a poorly written battle slop with paper thin characters. nothing really happens, just fights. the characters suck ass, the main trio is: naruto with background character personality, sakura but even more useless(she revives in the last chapter for nothing, got a random power up and its implied she likes naruto for like 1 minute just to be popular as a ship but its a character so bad im impressed) and sasuke without the shitty revenge plot-so a cold character with unexplored fight potential that serves no purpose. the rest of the cast is fucking dogshit, nanami for example is a guy with a "sad backstory" (he didnt like his job...he enjoys 1vs1 fights more!) that dies without any reason more than shock value. gojo is the only reason to watch this mess and he is mostly just strong, his past story is the core of the show but the antagonists are that bad and poorly written that it doesnt even matter. the filler antagonists are better written than the plot armor fart final boss. he also just fucking dies off screen because the author got bored. the ending is trash because the whole show is hollow and lacks substance, there is nothing going on. i cant say a lot about it because there is nothing to talk. all the arcs are fights recopilations without any real meaning because there is never any real development, just fights and shock value. is low tier entertainment for teenagers and unintelligent masses, aura and hype for uneducated white fat boys and ugly indians.i know the board and internet in general is dying since the new gen is even more retarded but holy fucking shit what the fuck is going on. frieren has good and well written characters and it knows how to connect certain scenes with eachother, is praised for a reason even if your peanut brain doesnt like it. oshi no ko was good because the author knows what he is doing, but he didnt care about the last parts and it shows.
>>287062532Fights are literally all that matters in a battle shonen.
>>287062804HunterxHunter has a lot of fights but it is good because the characters are well-made and there is more going on, Jujutsu is a bad copy-paste of Bleach center plot with randoms fighting. Solo Leveling is even worse because nothing happens, the new gen of anime fans might be the most stupid one ever
>>287062857Hunter x Hunter sucks ass because the author uses 2 pages to say what he only needed 2 panels to convey and the fights all pretend to be more clever than they actually are - Chrollo vs Hisoka is a perfect example because you could remove 90% of the obvious and redundant narration and the fight would be more interesting. Fights are all that matters in a battle shonen. Trying to turn it into a plotfag or slice of life genre is braindead.
>>287062532>jjk is a poorly written battle slop with paper thin characters. nothing really happens, just fights.I don't care if that's what you claim to think now, you used to love it and love the fights initially. There's no chance that someone who enjoys Oshi no Slop and Slopslop no Slopren wouldn't have also enjoyed Sloputsu Slopsen when it was in its prime popularity time.>frieren has good and well written charactersHow? What makes them good? What makes them better or more memorable than your standard fantasy or isekai fantasy slop? How is Frieren herself anything more than the bald fuck from One Punch Man with a gray wig on and the same lack of personality ("look I am phlegmatic because no one can beat me, isn't that funny") + "look she makes funny face haha, she gets eaten by mimic!"? What does the fat cunt tard wrangler of hers have going for her except for>hehe she make pouting face [says the fan in between empty look on his face and drooling as he watches animated pictures so puurrteey]>big tits>she eats a lot?What the absolute fuck makes the red haired guy stand out among all other millions of fantasy slop characters except>look he uses an axe and he was trained by a dwarf!!! wow! and he knows how to dance with the fat one, so I guess we'll use him to project ourselves onto having sex with her!> is praised for a reasonYes, for a reason = big budget => lots of money to spend on the technical quality of visuals (like the James Cameron Avatar movies) => money to spend on viral marketing => opinion creating => you taking the opinion that was created for you as your own.Absolutely NOBODY will give a FUCK about Frieren after your generation grows up. It has no lasting value, nothing memorable about it, no cult following. It is the epitome of "current era thing". James Cameron's Avatar was also completely forgotten before he decided to make a continuation of his slop movie (which has the same writing level as Frieren, basically).
>>287062935then all battle shonen are trash since they lack substance?>>287062953the manga was loved before all the retards starting praising it. im not saying it is perfect or "le top 5 best anime" like the mal and reddit warriors but its way better than trash kaisen. your arguments are shallow, you just dont like it. onk was good at the beggining, akasaka is a good writer and the characters and (some) arcs of kaguya show it. meanwhile jjk was never good, i started reading it when it started and i didnt expect jump to care about it. the usual jump slop, next one will be (they want it to be) kaguratrashi
>>287063090The fighting is the substance. When you watch boxing or MMA, do you need to know the life story of the fighters to enjoy it?
Take the shounentard shitflinging back to MAL, kiddos
>>287063090>your arguments are shallowWhy? Because you cannot address a single one of them, so you have to just blanket them with some NPC-tier cope and run away?I actually went into Frieren with some hopes based on the description. I expected>fantasy world without the generic fantasy slop fights [the main villain is supposed to be defeated]>maybe we explore the economic and social consequences of a world ravaged by "The Big Evil" and the reconstruction era difficulties in society>perhaps some personal drama as the formerly one dimensional Party Member Erfu-san has to live like a normal person in a normal world where she isn't just special because she can cast Magic Kamehameha laserInstead, we got>barely an episode worth of virtue signalling to the first two points I described>one dimensional Party Member Erfu-san is still one dimensional>immediately goes back to shonen fights>BUT GET THIS - the devils in this world? THEY ARE JUST EVIL! you see, you cannot reason with them... they are PURE EVIL! isn't that REFRESHING? no one's ever done this before in a fantasy show!!!>also look, she doesn't just One Punch Man the super scary and "super hot" (least sexiest demon I've seen in recent memory, the purple haired noncharacter), she TOLD HER TO KILL HERSELF! whoaaaaa! incredible!!!! auramaxxing!! this is legendary! she told her to kill herself and she did it, can you believe that??You CANNOT and *will not* defend anything that you like because there are no Opinion Makers[tm] videos which address criticism of Frieren. The people who tell you what to think haven't told you how to defend Frieren. You don't even know why or how pepole could criticize it because there are no big popular Opinion Creators videos showing and "debunking" said critique. All you see online is praise, so it is incomprehensible for you to understand that someone could dislike Frieren.All your posts are just>"YOU DON'T LIKE IT, ADMIT IT">"EVERYONE ELSE LIKES IT!"
>>287062935Yet oddly enough it's HxH that's highly regarded.
>>287060090>>287054941It's real what the fuck
>>287063172guy vs guy because guy 1 is bad and wants to destroy the world and guy 2 is good because wants to save the world is not substance. solo leveling doesnt have substance>>287063212because you just said you dont like the characters, and now you just said it didnt fulfill your expectations. i dont have time for videos or tiktok buzzwords, i prefer to think when im watching something and frieren is good. there isnt a point being a contrarian or a sheep either, it is better than the average dogshit show. and no i dont care if people like it or not, im just saying the praise is for a reason. but its true the argument is trash since people also praise jjk or naruto so my bad. i honestly dont care a lot about this shows to start another messy essay but there is always someone hating on it on this board, a super basic inoffensive show.
>>287064696Hopefully the replaced the director.
>>287043019>The Japanese have spoken>it's just Nicolive>it's not even the full ratingsWhy do I have to take this thread seriously again?
>>287066219You don't. These threads merely give you a glimpse of what the oldguard anime watchers think of the current season. It's not an attack on your sensibilities. The OP's not out there to get you.
>>287044189Frieren fans need to be more honest with themselves and confess that they’re here for the fight scenes and not the boring adventure bits.
>>287044189The power of kino Shonen battle, chuuni and headpat is too strong.
>>287065045>because you just said you dont like the characters, and now you just said it didnt fulfill your expectations.Congratulations on proving once again that Frierencucks are all literal subhuman bugs. At least Jujutsucucks can go through their usual list of "arugments" ("um it's Bleach, not Naruto"/"this is the anime of our generation fr fr"/"haha you're so right I just like it for the animation!!1!"/"you are [my nemesis]" etc).Meanwhile, the biggest intellectual of the Frierenfanbase = (You):>you said you dont like characters and now you say you dont like the plot and the setting? that means i win>i dont have the time to say anything to defend my favoritest anime, i have to watch tiktok, tiktoks and frieren make me think and they tell me to think frieren is goodIf I didn't know any better, I would think you're falseflagging to make Frierenfags look bad, but I have *never* in all of (your) subhuman bug history seen a single Frierenfag capable of making an argument in favor of his slop anime.
