It is interesting to see the opinions of readers of Anime News Network (ANN) regarding the best and worst anime series of the current season. Based on polls from the Daily Streaming Reviews and the Your Score page, readers can conveniently rate individual episodes on each anime series. It is to be noted that rankings are not based on the overall quality or popularity of the series, but instead evaluate based on the viewers’ individual ratings. Also, the rankings are limited to anime titles that are legally streaming in North America and are quite popular. The bottom ranking may be a reflection of the series being watchable rather than being actually bad.
To maximize the rankings, viewers are urged to check out the Your Score page and rate the episodes they watch for the current week. Here, a graph formulates the episode rankings for the week from June 10 to 16. It further displays the shift in rating over time. As each episode may have various levels of success, some anime series may remain consistent in rankings while others may fluctuate matching the viewer’s respective rating against each episode. In case a series does not have a new episode for the given week, the previous week’s episode is utilized as a placeholder instead. The graph also includes the first episode of each series as part of the first week dataset, even when the episode actually streamed during the second week. One can click on the figures to specifically highlight a certain series.
