Man, is it just me or does all this seem like either generic isekai trash, generic “strongest with weakest skill” trash or generic incest-bait trash?

How do things like Dead Dead Demons Dedede Destruction not end up on a list like this? Corpo anime is exhausting.

  Yeah, AC’s taste probably doesn’t line up with lemmy’s very well. A closer approximation would probably be the anime subreddit. I don’t think they do a seasonal poll like this one though. The most recent week had that show at #18. Much better than the 43rd rank that AC had it at.

Harem trash is reclaiming it’s place from isekai trash as the top seasonal slop. Nature is healing.

Ey yo what the fuck Makeine wasn’t top 10?

source
- wjs018@ani.social ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
  It was #2. They just used the longer version of the name: Too Many Losing Heroines. Makeine is just the portmanteau of the full title in Japanese, “Make Heroine ga Oosugiru.”

I can’t believe monogatari isn’t even on here. What?

  Looking at the voting demographics, a huge chunk of voters at AC are <20 years old. For a show that is multiple seasons in at this point, I doubt many are going back and getting caught up.

Idk if it’s just my circles but Nokotan had so much hype only for it to be mostly ok. Definitely could have been better.

Surprised Oshi no Ko didn’t rank higher though, it was top of this season for me.

I judged Days with my Stepsister off title alone and thought it was just incest bait, was it actually any good?

  Oshi no Ko was truly fantastic this season. I was shocked to see it didn’t win Best Adaptation or Best Drama. At least it got the deserved Best ED win.

I didn’t watch Days with My Stepsister, but if you believe AC, then it was the best thing since sliced bread apparently. The fanbase must at least be pretty dedicated to bring out the vote to such an extent.

  but if you believe AC
  
  Every time I see an AC ranking with shows I’ve watched I’m reminded that I shouldn’t trust AC.

  I was just about to ask, is it as awful as it sounds?

    Everything I have seen about it indicates that it is actually a serious drama about finding yourself in a step-sibling relationship with somebody that you develop feelings for. The title makes it sound suspicious as hell, but none of the tags on AniList or discussion I have seen here from those that have watched it make it seem like incest bait.
    
    Relationships between step-siblings can and do actually happen in real life. I actually know of one example in my extended family of step-siblings marrying (though I was originally born in Alabama, so take that with a grain of salt). So, having a fictional story that is a serious take on the taboo nature of that relationship isn’t necessarily a terrible thing, but the title definitely warrants a double take.

    I only watched the first 3 episodes, but it handled things pretty well up to that point. The characters were mature which was quite appealing. I only dropped it because I have limited time and need to choose what I watch.
