Ladies and Gentleman, dear Otakus,
welcome to MangaHelpers' new season of the Anime League!​

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 Jul 27th to Jul 03rd, 23:59 CET. Voting days for this week would be the 04th and the 05th, 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.
• The nominations for all shows will count as if they all had the same amount of episodes during this season. Shows with just 10, 11 or 12 episodes will get additional points based on the average they got so far to make it even.
• A show which is longer than one cour is eligible for the season until this season ends or reaches 13 episodes. Whichever comes first.

Results

[Uriel]

I predict that Made in Abyss will surely reach top 3

 

[Gajeel]

Summertime Render
Probably the best episode so far. It's hard to take Haine seriously when she shares the same voice as Frederica's from 86 though

and A-1 Pictures' anime
Engage Kiss
Lycoris Recoil

 

[Orion]

The season of sequels I thought would never see the light of day

Summertime Render
Brutality. This loop, gotta find a way to deal with four arms.

RWBY Ice Queendom
Saw the 3 ep premiere, solid.

Lycoris Recoil
Chisato is too fun.

 

[Demonspeed]

1. Ao Ashi.
2. Dragon Quest.

 

[Juviii]

Lycoris Recoil

 

[Hermit]

Engage Kiss
Lycoris Recoil
Kanojo, Okarishimasu

 

[Erinyes]

[Wowzers]

This week's picks!

Engage Kiss - Ok, it's a trashy man vs demon show… with... hopefully a lot of ecchi.
Lycoris Recoil - cutesy assassins double tapping every few seconds
AOASHI - that gut punch

Spoiler: Honorable Mentions

Kami Kuzu✰Idol - Not that fond of idols, but… the ghost is cute and the show made me laugh so…
Rent-a-Girlfriend season 2 - Chizuru episode so that was good, but... there are those I don't like so...
Luminous Witches - cute girls... but... what is with their legs!? They're not secretly Robo-girls?

 

[Sky]

Summertime episode 11 was still for the previous season.

Nothing much yet. My votes:
Engage Kiss
RWBY

 

[Wowzers]

This week is stupid.

Spoiler

I have 37 shows to watch this week, and I'm already behind from last week.

please pray for me... I have to work too.

 

[Nii]

Only watched one show for this short week. It's trashy, but could be dumb fun lol

Engage Kiss

Summertime Render
Talk about a well-executed trap.

Lycoris Recoil
Chisato missed out on the supercar

Kinsou no Vermeil
Vermeil best familiar ever.

HM
Classroom of the Elite: AyanoGod is back
Isekai Ojisan
RWBY

Didn't see any of my favorite maids in Overlord

 

[Gajeel]

Made in Abyss
The parallel "First Adventurers/Riko's group " is very captivating. Hope it continues next week,
Summertime Render
Ah shit...
Classroom of the Elite
This test is intriguing. I don't think I've ever seen such test in any anime before.

Honourable mentions
Lycoris Recoil
Overlord IV
Engage Kiss

 

[Juviii]

Made in Abyss
Lycoris Recoil
Classroom of the Elite

 

[Hermit]

Yofukashi no Uta

Kakkou no Inazuke

 

[Wowzers]

This weeks picks!

Yofukashi no Uta - Staying up late can have some benefits
Made in Abyss - We're back!
Isekai Ojisan - That was good! He had a cute wifu and didn't realize it

Spoiler: Honorable Mentions

Lycoris Recoil - another good episode! Keep it up!
Overlord - Our Supreme leader has returned!
AOASHI - Aoi was traumatized most of the episode but seems to have pulled together by the end

 

[Jammin]

Kinsou no Vermeil - This is great!! Boy meets flirty demon but somehow with dramatic weight to go with the playful ecchi. For the FGO players, it's like if there was Fate anime about a nice kid summoning Kiara.
Isekai Ojisan - Just a great time. Can't wait for more.
Yofukashi no Uta - These two are going to make the cutest couple.

Somehow Overlord didn't make the cut this week for me. I can't believe it. But it's true just the same.
