Still surprises me that eminence beats frieren. It's a dumb fun show but not exactly "good show" in terms of story or character development.
Yeah I read and liked the manga and still wonder what people see in it sometimes
The top items in a poll like this are going to be the most popular shows, not the best shows necessarily. Personally, I'd rate Apothecary Diaries much higher than Jujutsu Kaisen (pretty fight scenes but no substance) or Eminence in Shadow (fun, but again lacking in substance) in terms of quality. (I can't speak to Frieren because I dropped it after the second ep—something about it just wasn't working for me.)
The show that I've been watching that I'm surprised to see on that list at all is Ragna Crimson, the second-grimmest downer of the season after Hametsu no Oukoku.
Feels so weird seeing this list and not one show I'm really doing this season is on it. I don't try to be a hipster or anything, just dang...
To be fair, Apothecary Diaries in on my list to watch once I can at least. But dang, guess my season was really outside the norm this time around.
The full results are here. Anime Corner can be incredibly variable week to week. As a point of comparison, the reddit karma rankings are much more stable usually. This is what they looked like for week 12.
