Last week’s results about the Anime Power Rankings
Tamako Market continues to impress. It doesn’t try to blow things out of proportion with melodrama, but simply tells a cute short story that seems to hit home every week. This week featuring Anko was icing on the cake.
Meanwhile, Mondaiji continues to take every opportunity to poke fun at Kurousagi. While I’m a bit disappointed there haven’t been any really good action scenes, things should be heating up as they try to take on the Perseus community.

Since we’re updating on Monday, I will keep it brief this week. Y’all have terrible taste for not watching Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo. It’s also pleasant to see Uchuu Kyoudai back into the top five now that things are happening. I am honestly surprised people are still watching at all. This week was the closest we’ve ever come to having every eligible anime receive votes. Da Capo III was unfortunately the only anime shut out this week. It has yet to receive a single point all season.
I was skeptical with last week’s time skip in Shin Sekai Yori, but it looks like we’re finally seeing the conflict that the past seventeen episodes have been backstory for. It’s thrilling. I’m rooting for Squealer in all this, he’s such a great character and he deserves to win his war.
Psycho-pass is moving to its climactic conflict too, but it’s being kinda artless about it, and it basically ripped off the plot from one of the Die Hard movies anyhow. Shin Sekai Yori is beautiful and original.

Out of curiosity, is this the first time that JoJo didn’t land a place on the top five? It seems to be one of the most consistent shows when it comes to landing a place on people’s ballots.

It was on mine, but I wasn’t that impressed by it this week. Doesn’t help that I’ve been watching Airmaster and am crying at how cheap Jojo’s fight scenes are compared to that anime.

A lot of shows fight scenes are cheap compared to Airmaster. It has some of the best fight scene choreography in anime.

Oh, also the ending to the episode was crap. I honestly did not get it at first because I thought there was no way in hell the show would pull off something so stupid and inconsistent with Jojo’s character and powers. But apparently, it did. Seriously?
Damn you kevo for not putting my APR on the post

Now watch as Space Bros drops clean out of the rankings again as it returns to repetitive bullshit. Or maybe it will stay being good even after this latest arc is over? A man can dream~

Maybe Space Bros is an expressionist art piece that demonstrates just how boring an anime can truly become.
