KokoroAkechi 07/26/19 5:05:07 AM #471:	Week 3 Rankings Skilled Teaser Takagi DanMachi S2 Cop Craft The Demon Next Door Astra Lost in Space Fire Force Vinland Saga Dr. Stone A Certain Scientific Accelerator UchiMusume Magical Sempai Dumbbell Given O Maidens in Your Savage Season MOMMMORPG Re:Stage! Dream Days Wasteful Day of Highschool Girl Hentai Girlfriend Are You Lost? DROP LINE BEM (1) Ensemble Stars (3) Thoughts on the week. Ensemble Stars started out pretty promising for a male idol show. It's animated well and honestly the songs are very good. However, none of the characters are really doing anything. I get there's like a idol battle going on and different groups in the school are giving their best performances but three episodes in and it's barely been explained what's really going on, rules, etc. Not only that but we have not really seen people preparing or anything like that either. Not to mention the girl who was introduced early on as the "producer" or whatever has done absolutely nothing. Like why even have her in the show? Only one of the other characters starts to get any development too, and it's done in like a talking scene where the character is not even present. The other show that was dropped this week was Bem, which is honestly probably not awful, but the entire thing was just so uninteresting. There is basically one small scene that shows the main girls personality. All the other character? Nothing. Like the supernatural things fighting? We have no real context in what's happening etc. As for the good shows, DanMachi S2 had another great episode. They seem to add just the right amount of new story beats and are really driving up the stakes of the season. Takagi is likely to remain on top of the rankings for the entire season if it just maintains where it is. I thought Demon Girl's second episode was not as good as the first one, but it was strong enough to remain in the first tier. Astra is doing a good job at juggling all the characters it has. I can forgive some of the more unrealistic things that are happening because the tradeoff is better character moments. Overall I think the cast might end up being pretty strong, albeit maybe a little too perfectly suited for their situation. I like Dr. Stone, but I do find that Taiju is a little too dumb. Accelerator is still good, but it still can't escape the "let's make another group that works in Academy City but doesn't know who the fuck the level 5s are who can just destroy them without thinking". Magical Sempai is probably not a good show? But I still like it. I think Senpai is really fun to watch and is really only hurt right now by the fact that this season is very strong for waifus. Dumbbells is pretty good, but I've found that the comedy is not quite there right now. Given still seems like a good show, but the like overall timing is just like kinda off still. Maidens is a show that is almost good but is being held back by the almost conflicting tones the show has. It's like the show really wants you to take it seriously, but it's just so hard to do that with how almost everyone acts. Honestly, the childhood friend is probably the most realistic character in the show. As for the main girls I'd say Hongou is the best one, because from a personality standpoint she maintains a personality but doesn't come off as overbearing for the sake of pushing anime drama. Re:Stage is also a show I want to like more, and even though I liked the episode... WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH IDOLS? Wasteful Day is still not that funny... but it's getting better. Also, this show probably has the OP of the year. That's slightly better than Are You Lost? Which is at the bottom due to being kind funny... but also a little too gross overall. --- Kokoro's Anime Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaIA0gY11FQ_Zh6kLSam5OA Updated: July 27th, 2016. <cite>KokoroAkechi posted [p:925201569] in Anime and ...
