Current percentage of Nicolive voters that gave the latest episodes of the currently airing Spring cour shows top marks, making for a decently accurate popularity ranking list.

How do their tastes measure up to your own, anons?

I have no idea why hibimeshi is so popular. I like it and I'm happy that is is. But in theory, it should be obscure and mostly ignored.

It is, this doesn't measure popularity or quality in any sort of shape, you are seeing a small group of people liking something, which isn't a problem, the problem is OP lying and using it for this general.

You don't know how to explain it because there's nothing about it above average, the girls are not even especially cute to be saved by the designs, they are just walking tropes but without the situations or activities that would make them appealing.

So if a person continues watching, they'll come back and keep clicking on a good rating and keep the show up. On a bad show, the person leaves half way thru the season and stops rating it. To me, that'll keep the bias on a good show up but a bad show is still a bad show. The only thing you'll miss is a middling show becoming a sleeper hit by the end, which is rare as fuck cuz japan rarely ever does the ending arc of a show good enough to do a comeback, it's usually they fuck up the end and leave people disappointed

Ending without drama and in a P.A. Works show is quite an achievement and that's probably enough for voters to give it top marks on the last episode.

It's really not that popular just looking at the ranking of two streaming sites, including Niconico. I bet it's even more unknown on TV ratings which in Japan is still more popular than streaming. You don't really think it's more popular in Japan than Gundam, Witch Watch, or Kusuriya do you?

Nico is half dead and Abema was dominated by Saint and KotKot this season. As mentioned it means nothing for overall popularity in Japan. Uma and Gundam were the most watched by far.

Also Hibi is not on Bili yet I think. They often get shows a season later.

You spam this shit every single week you retarded newfag. You've been told this a dozen times already, then just come back the next week pretending to be someone else and spam the exact same posts.

The last episode happened. They can't say 'the next episode will fix everything' anymore.

Gundam was worth it for the art direction, ost, Chalia Bull, week to week threads and hordes of fanart, it just fumbled the story from basically halfway through but it was still interesting and exciting and fun to speculate on.

There's 13 episode of horse girls, so it's definitely going to retake that throne.

Remember, that list is literal nonsense. Litle better than being straight up schizo headcanon.

Worse, it's 'kicked out of the hero's party'. And so is number 3. Every season looks like that now.

Danjo no Yujo wa Seiritsu suru? (Iya, Shinai!!) is objectively better than at least two or three other anime on that list and that's a FACT.
