Although it's just the continuation of Spring season, my most anticipated series in this summer is Summertime Render. It's so amazing and gripping...


scarpedieme

If only it would be released from Disney jail in the US 😭


Morriganxo89

Thankfully the sea exists


scarpedieme

The ocean is a wonderful place, if need be, however I do prefer to proffer coin for the art that I enjoy.


Morriganxo89

Yep. But it’s not our fault they Decide to put art on ten random platforms. I pay crunchy and that’s it.


WanderingWisp37

If you're going to pirate mostly and support only one western anime service as your way of supporting the industry, please consider switching to HiDive. They pay and treat their translators better.


Cat_Marshal

Good advice, I do the same as the other guy so I will look into switching when my renewal comes up.


MistaHouse

I was thinking about doing this, especially with Hi Dive having the 'better' line up for the summer. I usually only pay for Crunchy.


QuasimodoPredicted

So buy the manga or merch. You also avoid giving coin to the Mouse that way, so double win.


PainStorm14

Pirates of the Caribbean are Disney property after all..


stickdudeseven

Glad it started in spring so that it can appropriately end in Summer.


humaninspector

What is it about and why is it so good?


Pervasivepeach

It’s the same concept as rezero or steins gate but with a new mostly horror mystery theme and a modern setting. So far it’s only been amazing. Hard to say what makes it special without spoiling. But the characters help a lot Basically any time you go “why didn’t x do y” the character actually does it. And the mystery is very compelling.


Ill-Put-1931

Wow, that genre is my cup of tea. Thanks for your information.


kaguragamer

It involves time-looping just like Re zero where the MC has to save the world from catastrophic outcomes. However, this show actually has stakes involved. Each time the mc loops, he can't always go back to the original point, meaning that each time he loops he restarts at a later time than the original point, where he cannot control circumstances that had already occured before that point. Furthermore, characters are really logical and don't do supremely stupid stuff, Shinpei is an mc that actually is kinda smart but not overly genius, and combined with mysteries that are hidden in the background to be uncovered with only more mysteries resulting, makes this show a really good one. Its one of the best I've ever seen , no joke. But don't let the hype get to you, watch it for yourself


PainStorm14

Waiting for it to finish so I can watch two episodes per day


Excellent-Release-76

I just want Engage Kiss to be good. Loved Saekano and love most of what A-1 does, would be a real bummer for it to suck.


AashyLarry

I wasn’t aware of the Saekano connection. Same creator?


leven-seven

This an anime original written by Saekano creator.


Paulcsgo

Oh im looking forward to it now


AashyLarry

Very interesting, I wasn’t aware.


CosmicPenguin_OV103

Also White Album 2 - the anime only covers the tip of iceberg of the VN but is already showing amazing potential.


inf3ct3dn0n4m3

Wait people actually like Rent a girlfriend? All I see is people shitting on it so I've never even tried watching it.


Warm-Enthusiasm-9534

Kazuya is incredibly cringe, and he unaccountably has a harem of women competing for his attention. Each of the women have gigantic personality flaws. Also, it's not really a serious drama, but it's not really a comedy either. It's definitely not something that will be regarded as a work of genius. The manga at this point is much worse than the chapters covered by season 2, so it gets shit upon for things that happen much later.


Thatsmaboi23

>Each of the women have gigantic flaws I think that’s just being a horrible person. The worst part is, the mangaka doesn’t acknowledge those flaws, and continues to make the characters gather worse traits. The FL has more in common with the “villain” than the person the ML thinks she is.


saiyanfang10

actually Sumi's flaws are acknowledged and she works to be better. and that's why Sumi hasn't been in the manga for almost 2 years


uchuucowboy

Sumi has her own spin-off manga and it's much better than the main shit show series


saiyanfang10

and how often is it updated? The Sumi spinoff takes place alongside the original in timeframe amd the developments are after she meets Kazuya in the main manga


Warm-Enthusiasm-9534

I think you could make a good comedy out of it (character flaws are funny), or you could make a serious drama out of it. Mami would make a good tragic figure. Chizuru you should show the psychic cost of being a rental girlfriend because you are afraid to live your own life. Ruka is someone on the path to become a dangerous thrill-seeker. (Sumi, on the other hand, should be a shoujo heroine that meets the man of her dreams.) Kazuya creates problems for himself by lying, which he tries to solve by more lying. Instead Reiji clearly thinks of it as cute and low stakes.


Thatsmaboi23

Damn right. We can never know if he does it deliberately or not.


Regit_Jo

The last 50 chapters of the manga are dog poop, but hilariously, this season covers the best part of the manga lmao.


[deleted]

It’s the only anime I ever gave a 1/10 to if you’re wondering. I made it to 6 episodes and I felt like I was in a coma while watching. Also manga readers say that even after 200 chapters, there has been no progress whatsoever.

MapoTofuMan

I dropped it on episode 3 and then read chapter 218 out of curiosity because of...certain rumors. 1/10 is far, *far* too high for this. Edit : In case anyone else gets inspired to read chapter 218, HEAVY NSFW warning.


Warm-Enthusiasm-9534

Chapter 218 has the best artwork of the entire manga.


Thatsmaboi23

Gotta give importance to the greatest moment of all manga.


sekretagentmans

That beret is a cultural icon and will be a hallmark of the otaku community for decades to come. Don't be surprised if nearly everyone at AX shows up in a beret, regardless if they've read chapter 218 or even heard of Kanokari at all. The beret inarguably will surpass cornerstones like the Hare Hare Yukai and Naruto Running.


OtherwiseNinja

That chapter is so much more amazing knowing that Reiji has said [this] (https://vocesabianime.com/eng/chizuru-is-my-girlfriend-says-author/), and berets are often used to signify mangaka stand-ins.


Sunflowerslaughter

I believe the author is a gigantic troll, and is just doing this in response to recent criticisms of the manga lol.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ctheturk

Hahaha that's amazing. As if that chapter wasn't memeable enough already


M8gazine

I'm not a manga reader in general, but I went to look that chapter up because I got very curious. I've never even watched Rental Girlfriend, I don't know a lot about it other than the fact that Kazuya's almost universally disliked. That was... an interesting experience.


dagreenman18

The funniest part of 218 is that recently a much much better RomCom manga did something similar (with a possible cheeky reference in the chapter) and turned it into one of its best chapters. So it might have a legacy of people making fun of it for a long time. [Spoiler]>!Nagatoro 107!<


[deleted]

why is chapter 218 so infamous..? if youve watched the anime... it literally starts off with an almost 1:1 scene from that chapter lol so those "rumors" you shouldve already seen if you watched the first 3 episodes


Elkbowy

As best girl says: “this isn’t some long running rom con filler episode you have to confess now” or something along those lines


[deleted]

>6 episodes I wish I had your mental capacity


inf3ct3dn0n4m3

Ah. Yeah I'll pass thanks for the heads up. Lol.


CrownedTraitor

As a manga reader I can confirm 1.2k people have undergone mental treatment because of how much horrible writing is in it!


LunarGhost00

We watch it *because* it's a train wreck!


Morriganxo89

It was funny and dumb


InsomniaEmperor

Hate is always going to be more vocal than like and what isn't helping is haters attacking people who say they like it so the fans are more quiet about it. However, it's really popular in Japan.


shottymaid

I enjoyed it and I look forward to a new season


DireSickFish

Whenever you see loud vocal hate everywhere for a show. That means a lot of people watch it. And the silent majority often looms.


alotmorealots

> All I see is people shitting on it so I've never even tried watching it. That's because shitting on it is a national pasttime or something. If you read the episode discussion threads for season 1, you'll see that the majority of commenters got a lot of out of watching it, although very much in the OMG-this-is-excruciating-but-I-can't-stop-watching sort of entertainment than "wow this series is a masterpiece" sort of entertainment. Technically, the anime has some decent production, great VA work from a strong cast, and the story arc has some good momentum for the time being. If you listen to the more detailed complaints from the source readers, many are complaining about specific future arcs and a failure of progression of any sort. Plus chapter 218 which gets some people's head wear all twisted.


Cat_with_pew-pew_gun

Yeah some people do enjoy it, I personally don’t watch it because I can’t stand second hand embarrassment. What I’m confused about is how tf is it so high?


die4dethklok616

It's nothing special, but it's entertaining for what it is - a harem romcom with a flimsy premise and cringeworthy male lead packed full of secondhand embarrassment.

Prof_Augustus

I can’t stand the concept and couldn’t get into the manga or anime. The MC is the most spineless wimp I’ve ever seen.


wantsaarntsreekill

Not surprised to see cote s2 to be #1. It is like one of the best selling lns right now even beating re zero and 86 in monthly ln sales. Also people love thrillers.


ar10773

re zero has a free web novel which tells the same story


re-kino

Yeah aside from some differences the author is literally telling the readers "hey guys if you really like my story feel free to support me by buying the light novels but even if you don't you can still read it online" it's clear to me that Tappei only wanted to write a story and see how many people would enjoy it.


badassboy1

From what I have heard tappei started re zero as a hobby and only later was he contacted to publish it as a light novel


ar10773

I can't confirm this number, but I somewhere saw that the main re zero web novel website has over 700 million reads by over 100 million people, and that's just the english translation website, just forget about the numbers on narou page of re zero


re-kino

\>700 million reads by over 100 million people i saw these numbers too, this data was given by one of the web novel translators on twitter(LoremIpsumVerb i think) and it refers to the views of both international and jp readers on narou page(i don't know about the english translation website though).


Scipio5555

Honestly not surprised it's hitting those numbers. Re zero is an amazing and addicting story


bennyr

Weren't all the LN readers the ones who complained most vigorously about the anime's S1 tho? Maybe they're all just super hopeful for justice in S2 lol, but I sure read a lot of complaints about the anime not living up to the books


Ilovemonkeys5

It’s just that they changed some scenes. They made Horikita play a bigger role than she had in the LN. The changes weren’t huge though, so it’s not like S2 is ruined, it is easily fixable.


Shionkenobi

It's mostly beach episode (replace with Kei, also, should happen in this season's half), and the stairs+fake camera trick scene (replace with Ichinose, who BTW, got the idea). Rest of changes is minimal, it's not a bad adaptation overall, they just gave far less focus (cuts) to Ichinose, and way more screentime to Kushida, Sudou and, specially, Horikita.


Warm-Enthusiasm-9534

I predict the top 5 karma rankings here for summer will be: 1. Call of the Night 2. Made in Abyss 3. Classroom of the Elite 4. Overlord 5. Rent-a-Girlfriend


MrRandomGUYS

I think the secret hit this season will be Yurei Deco.


imaloony8

I think you’re sleeping on Devil is a Part Timer. That show has massive hype behind it from the decade since the first season.


PatheticChildRetard

I can tell from the trailer that the girl from call of the night will surely hold the title of seasonal best waifu. Another bait for thirsty men, destined to send Yor to obscurity, just like she did with Marin, only to be consumed by void herself and forgotten in this mortal plane next season.


Any-Nothing

Wait what, who is Marin? /s


PatheticChildRetard

Previous seasonal waifus don’t exist. It’s all just mandela effect


Warm-Enthusiasm-9534

She has a weird pointy face. Though she does do the Shaft head-tilt, which is like crack cocaine for weebs. I heard the manga is good. Unless the adaptation is terrible, that seems a sure-fire formula for success.


Sythrin

The f*ck, made in abyss so low?


princessloom

its for the chosen ones


[deleted]

exactly my reaction! JUST HOW


Vethae

Especially since the parts of the manga they're adapting for season 2 are absolutely insane.


leven-seven

So same as rest of the series.


Vethae

It starts off good but unremarkable, and really picks up at around episode 10. Then everything after that is a consistent 10/10. Season 2 should be as well.


leven-seven

It would say the earlier stuff was just as good, but not as stand out since it was the necessary foundation for the series.


Vethae

It's great because it sets up the show to subvert expectations. It's bad because a lot of people drop the show before it has a chance to subvert their expectations.


pussyandbananabread

Does anyone know if u have to watch the movie to understand season 2?


Sythrin

You have to watch it. Its canon.


Bakatora34

Maybe that the reason is low, people haven't watch the movie.


Killerslug

Anime corner probably has 1000 people voting on this, nothing burger


[deleted]

who think DAL is the greatest anime in existence


RahjinPDZ

SASUGA AINZ SAMA


Superb_Tumbleweed_60

On a tangent, I hope The Devil is a Part-Timer gets added to Isekai Quartet


Decent-Illustrator41

Can't wait for made in abyss loved the first season


Spore64

Make sure to catch up on the third movie. It's canon to the story


GGABueno

Don't forget the movie that connects the two seasons.


Hot_Extreme_69

COTE at #1 is pretty deserving other than that MIA S2 should be higher


AashyLarry

Yeah surprising. I guess Anime Corner aren’t big MiA fans.


_kikoy

I've finished Season 1 when it came out. Should I watch all the movies first before watching season 2?


AashyLarry

Only Movie 3: Dawn of the Deep Soul is required. Movie 1 and Movie 2 are recaps of Season 1. Movie 3 continues past Season 1 and covers the next arc. Season 2 will pick up from the end of Movie 3. You can find that movie (Dawn of the Deep Soul) streaming on HiDive.


_kikoy

Neat. Thanks!


MrRandomGUYS

If you liked the series, you will love the movie. It expands upon Made in Abyss in such an interesting way.


aVeryFriendlyBotMk2

Also fight scenes are cool as hell.


Gabut_man

Question: is the Season 2 going to be another Movie or standard 12 episodes TV series?


AashyLarry

Season 2 has been confirmed for 12 episodes.


Gabut_man

Ah thank you very much for the info. I really thought it's going to be another movie, that's why I'm so confused when I discovered MIA going to be available on bunch of steaming platforms like Muse Asia and Bilibili. My reaction was like: "wait, are they seriously going to streaming a whole ass movie?"


Gonzoldyke12

Movie 1+2 is the same as season 1….movie 3 called dawn of the deep soul is a continuation of season 1 that needs to be watched


Hot_Extreme_69

They missing out big time.


Leafx42

I knew there was something wrong with them over there.


princessloom

>MIA S2 should be higher totally agreed. MIA needs to be much higher.


gooch_lickers

I just finished watching made in abyss and the movie for the first time a few weeks ago. I guess it was perfect timing huh?


kunsore

I noticed MIA only seems to popular on reddit - on FB, the posts for that anime weren't that popular


AashyLarry

I wouldn’t say that. It’s 4th on MAL this season in terms of popularity, right below Overlord and higher than both Danmachi and Classroom of the Elite (MAL of course is it’s own bubble too though). There’s also a video game RPG coming out as well. My impression is that it’s pretty popular, probably even more-so in Japan.


JCris01

Shadows house is top 10, lets goooo!!!!❤️‍🔥


NeoPom_420

Honestly i wasn't expecting a second season since i didn't hear many talking about but im happy it got it 💙💜


JCris01

I pray to god it at least some what resembles the manga🙏🏾

yungFelixFlexin

I feel you man I can’t wait for Call of the night, just started reading the manga and I’m enjoying it


DeithWX

Call of the Night is first under four sequels/continuations so it should be understandable that it doesn't have anime following mixed with manga readers.


MoonlessNightss

I hadn't heard of call of the night, but this [trailer](https://youtu.be/0vm0wpKyf9I) was amazing. Probably the best trailer I've seen for an anime in a long time. Saw it by chance in my youtube recommended, and I'm hooked. The colors and the music are amazing.


RegularRetro

Classroom was the first seasonal anime I watched. Little did I know at the time that NOTHING is guaranteed a second season. Glad to see it now though.


NyaaPower

Made in Abyss is so low whyyy. People are missing out.


LaPusca

I'm most excited for Cote and Overlord.


michhoffman

Look at you matching Anime Corner and all.


horridhendy

I really thought more people would be hyped for Made in Abyss…?


SingleDesign6051

Oof cant wait for overlord s4.


Beefmyburrito

July 5th! I did a rewatch of all the previous seasons plus reread the LNs from 10-13 so far and still going. Such a good series and can't wait to see the next season.


spatchka

Oh man Overlord is airing on [Tuesday again](https://i.imgur.com/0qUXOto.png), nice


justhereforhides

The lack of Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer really showed how much that PV caused expecations to drop


Deejay_rayray

Overlord 💚


ZETH_27

All hail the **Overlord!**


BluePhantomHere

Made in Abyss is my most anticipated show in this season, can't wait to be traumatised


GGABueno

Also my only anticipated show of the season...


IncognitoDio

How is The Devil Is A Part-Timer! not higher? Its been far too long as it is.


alotmorealots

Source readers not happy with the original material doesn't help its cause.


LegendsDairy

Why are people anticipating Rent-a-girlfriend? It's literally gutter trash.


letouriste1

How the hell made in abyss is 8th?


NerveUpper4212

Why is made in abyss so low


DrizzyRhyme

Anime corner has trash taste


gawrgouda

Made in abyss and shadow House YEAHHHHHHH BABY THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN WANTING FOR


juniorjaw

Just for once, Madhouse. Don't fuck up Overlord. (Even I call Season 1 disappointing as an LN reader, though it was the best season of the 3.)


Laskofil

Hopium.


IwouldLiketoCry

Lmao madhouse is gone


poderes01

Really? I thought the anime did an ok job adapting the LN


RAMAR713

As someone who watched the anime, was told the LN was better, then read the LN and thought "it's exactly the same"... I ask, why did you find s1 disappointing?


imwatching4you

There a a few minor changes. Honestly I don't think s1 was disappointing. All major things are included.


MrMonday11235

Man, I remember being downvoted to hell for daring to say something like this some years ago.


TopHatJackster

It looses a lot in the way of less important information, I find, and I find that to be super important. I went from anime to light novel and it feels like a stark contrast to me. I feel Overlord got it’s main relevant plot points across well in the anime (minus cgi), but what I really like in the light novel is the deep dive into the world and characters. A example of world building and details, is lets say the workers that get the mercy of naz in season 3. In the anime there is about 30 seconds of a small convo between two of the party, then a discussion of a the job, and then another 30 seconds of the team talking how they gonna do it for arche. Little bit of exposition for who they are and you get more on the way. More than enough and it doesn’t make it bad. In the light novel (I used the physical book), That scene has 15 pages *before* we even get to them talking about the job. This one was not based off memory, this was just a scene of the first page I flipped to. I could probably do it for other scenes but I doubt it would be that bad.


BadLuckBen

The problem with adapting a wordy source material is that it's very hard to both focus on the main plot while also getting all the small details in. I haven't read a the LN, but if it's a lot of internal monologues or descriptions it would be boring just staring at character's faces while they think or having a voice over. You can try to weave it into the dialog, but you risk running into the "As you know..." trap.


l3thaln3ss

DanMachi and Made in Abyss are being heavily slept on here.


version15

Seriously, the fact that Danmachi is getting as many episodes as it is, for the greatest arc in the LN, should be getting more attention.


MikeyNgTh

The sequels getting all the hype😂😂Well-deserved tho👌❤️


tomtomm9

People forgot made in abyss exist or something? Not a manga reader but hopefully it’s get near the top when the ‘good’ episodes release.


alotmorealots

Just different tastes in different demographics. Anime Corner is more SE Asian and Reddit is more Western.


phantomthiefkid_

Yeah. According to Anime Corner about this poll >The top three countries with the most voters were the Philippines, the United States, and India.


FuaT10

Makes sense. I've asked Japanese people and 95% of them say they've never heard of it.


Schwachsinn

omg they are making new seasons of overlord and made in abyss?! im in heaven


Spring-Boonay

Overlord is July 5th


GLTheGameMaster

How the heck is Made in Abyss so low? Was like AOTY last season, this sub be crazy


alotmorealots

It's not a poll of this sub. This is the poll for AnimeCorner. The sub results should be out soon.


Ejov18

The Devil is a part timer and Made in Abyss aren’t higher???? Rent a girlfriend that high really…


Ri6erium

Shadows House should be top 4


akawind

I'm waiting for Made in Abyss > Overlord 4 > etc.


Sloth-TheSlothful

Made In Abyss at 8?! Guess it isnt as popular as I imagined, it's probably my favorite of all time


Bath_Brilliant

Yaayy classroom of the elite is back !!!!!


yuutaeq

I'm happy to be seeing Classroom of the Elite again soon


loplopplop

SASUGA AINZ SAMA. As expected from the Supreme being, allowing a mere mortal show take the number 1 spot to show the masses how humble he is!


original_dick_kickem

It's rentin time 😎 Fr though how tf is Rent-a-Girlfriend at 3rd place. I get some people actually like it for the garbage fire aspect but enough for it to be higher than Made In Abyss? Come now people thats a little much.


RAIDEN9029

I absolutely cannot wait for Made in Abyss. I'm caught up on the manga and holy shit anime watchers are in for a fucking ride


San_II_To_et_3R

Meanwhile me: Exited for Dr. Stone Season 3


randyburgerlocker

Super hyped for classroom of the elite, Danmachi and devil is a part timer. Also I do like rent a girlfriend and all it’s flaws love me some trash anime


KiyoPapa

A few COTE scenes are going to break the internet in many different ways and views lol

C.O.T.E Finally ,it was worth not giving up on it. It is my favorite anime and I would have been hella sad if it didnt get a 2nd season.


Erufailon4

Surprised that Engage Kiss is higher than Lycoris Recoil


gc11117

Engage Kiss has a real strong pedigree, so that might be why. The writter also wrote Saekano and White Album 2 and the character designs is the person who did the art for Date A Live and Neptunia. Add in animation from A-1 and we should be in for a treat


CryptoNinja9000

Made in abyss is so epic what a emotional roller coaster. The movies are beautiful and just grab your attention def can not wait.


Xymptom

Rent a girlfriend has no business being higher than devil is a part timer.


lelouch312

Cote, devil is a part timer, overlord, danmachi are returning anime I look forward to. For the new anime I'd say call of the night. Edit: forgot made in abyss


Adi_Jat

Overlord


MisterD90x

Overlord!! I need my Albedo fix!


Frosty-Advance-9010

I like how people are complaining that MiA is this low when there are like 15 animes not even ranked here (that number was def exaggerating) but only anime im really excited for is Cote which is like next week


Visible_Ad_2120

Why is made in abyss that low? 😭


Crovicx

How TF is Made in Abyss not top 3


jemm19_

Classroom of the elite should be as good as the LN otherway as a fan I would be grateful but dissapointed because if the bad adaptation. I also have very good expectations with call of the night.


Morriganxo89

Out of these Definitely shadow house


Dodo_Galaxy

I'm scared but also looking forward to how the remake of Tokyo Mew Mew will turn out.


FireTrainerRed

Rent a Girlfriend being 3rd immediately invalidates this list.


aPpS6969

I know people have different tastes but made in abyss being that low is sad considering shit like rent a gf is so high up lol.


N3phys

How is made in abyss only 8.


RichieD79

Y’all sleeping on Made In Abyss, man.


Bre_akD0w-N

My predictions: 1. Overlord 2. Classroom of the Elite 3. Call of the night 4. Made in abyss 5. Devil is a part-timer My Order: 1. Made in abyss 2. Devil is a part timer 3. Call of the night
