I am honestly surprised to see Danmachi that high in the cummulative. And it makes me happy to see Trigun Stampede that low; it is crap to not do a faithful adaptation of the manga.

I'll say right away that this season is weird. I don't remember the graphs from previous seasons being *that* crazy, jumping up and down that much even in the cumulative. Maybe it's because of the sheer number of series this time, maybe there's some other factor about the shows this season. But the metadata I have from generating the rankings is a bit suspicious; a lot more non-transitive stuff than usual. So maybe there's some spam going on that our current countermeasures cannot detect.

What's crap is having fans like you who are this ungrateful and can't accept a quality adaptation when you see it. Stampede is literally more faithful to the manga than the original anime is, yet you people only want to know "WhErE THe HeLL is MiLLiE?!?!"

People like you are the bane of the anime community, looking down on quality stuff and eating up garbage like popcorn.

A lot of people must have dropped watching Onimai for it to jump so much in the rankings - not surprising when most people are either in the "this show is funny" or "this show is for perverts" camp.

Regarding intransitive rankings, while Condorcet circles are supposed to be rare, the rule that "unrated titles are considered as abstentions" combined with the sheer volume of titles (and thus unwatched/unrated titles) this season mean that, by rule, there are greater numbers of abstentions in voting this season. This might result in sparsely connected nodes in the voting graph leading to strange results.

It could also just be early season noise, as voters decide which shows to watch and which shows to drop, again exacerbated by the large number of shows this season. I'll be curious to see what the results look like in future weeks after the three-episode rule kicks in.

They didn't say anything about the original Trigun being a more faithful adaptation than Stampede, they just said Stampede wasn't close enough to the manga. Their opinion is a silly tihng for you to get riled up for. You can go back to sleep now.
