Ladies and Gentleman, dear Otakus,

About

• This league has one purpose and one alone. To crown the best Anime of the season.

Rules

• Every user gets to nominate his top 3 episodes of the week in this thread.
• Nominating day is on Monday. It is possible to nominate before that day, but not after the following Tuesday.
• A week goes from Monday to Sunday. The Nomination day for that whole week is the day AFTER that Sunday. For example: This week goes from Jun 28th to Jul 04th, 23:59 CET. Voting days for this week would be the 05th and the 06th, 23:59 CET.
• Voting is possible till the weekly ranking has been posted.
• The nominations get counted. The Anime with the most votes in total wins the league.
• There won't be a restriction for Anime which have no threads here
• Only TV shows count (no OVA, no movies, no ONA, no TV specials)
• Pre-airs aren't eligible.
• 10 episodes in total are the bare minimum.
• Shows with irregular airing will be dealt with accordingly.

• A show which is longer than one cour is eligible for the season until this season ends or reaches 13 episodes. Whichever comes first.

Well this season has been rather meh so far, for me. Luckily it looks like some more (potentially) great shows will air later on. More Madoka goodness, Jahy for the comfy slice-of-life, and ofc more Fumetsu : D Sonny Boy is a bit of a wildcard, but the director usually does good stuff. And Heion Sedai's my potential sleeper of the season.

Can't forget Kobayashi-san S2, that's going to be great for sure

 

[Erinyes]

Tokyo Revengers : Baaaaajiiiii ! interesting stuff upcoming. (i really feel bad for takemitchy )

Kobayashi - was pretty fun, that ending

It seems Fumetsu was a recap, so i skipped it, will resume next week.
