What people sayPublic comments from other sites
AI sentiment analysisAn AI model (claude-sonnet-5-5) rates each public comment as very positive / positive / mixed / negative / very negative (scored 9.5 / 8 / 6 / 4 / 2), averages them weighted by confidence, site, length, “helpful” votes and date, then shrinks the result toward a neutral 6 (so a few comments can't inflate it).Calibrated to the site-score scale it is 6.05, and it counts toward the overall score by the number of comments (at most 35%).Only the latest ~40 comments per site are read (plus ~50 posts from each forum's episode threads, which weigh less): a sample, not everything. Excerpts are at most 140 characters and belong to their authors; comments that may contain spoilers are not shown. Comments from Chinese sites appear in an AI translation, with the original one click away. Sentiment labels can be wrong. Updated Oct 7, 2026, 06:36.See the score breakdownSentiment score5.5/10

Bruh, this is the fastest drop I've ever done ngl. Like, I read the title. I knew it was ecchi. But idk, I thought it'd be some comedy or…

NAHHH WHAT IS OUR WORLD BECOMING. Gooner society in the making. Also Jyura should have sticked to making doujins, this was horrible…
Positive
I like the constant pantyshots and the erotic love triangle between the three of them.
Very negative
This might be the worse anime so far this season. I have absolutely nothing good to say about it. It would be okay If it was like 6-12…

Overall score The overall score is not a simple average but a weighted blend:
(w_P·P + w_T·T + v·R) / (w_P + w_T + v)This title: Site scores P = 5.23 (weight 42, 71%); Fan sentiment T = 6.05 (weight 17.3, 29%); Community: No ratings yet (each rating counts as one vote); P: site consensus 5.23 (626 votes; few votes and below the season baseline 7.27, so not pulled up) = 5.23.P is the consensus of site scores (calibrated to one scale), T the sentiment of public comments, R our community's mean. Each part is weighted in “virtual votes”: more votes and comments mean more weight.See the breakdown · Scoring rules in detailOverall score 5.5/10
Score breakdownThe three parts are weighted in “virtual votes”: the more site votes and analyzed comments, the more weight that part gets. Fan sentiment is capped at 35%, and each AniRanking rating counts as one vote. Full rules
- Site scores5.2371%Consensus of 626 site votes (calibrated to one scale; few votes and below the global baseline, so not pulled up)
- Fan sentiment6.0529%31.5 comments, average 4.73 (the sentiment score shown, 5.5, is also shrunk toward neutral), calibrated against comparable titles to 6.05
- CommunityNot counted0%No ratings yet (each rating counts as one vote)
Site scoresThe site consensus is 5.23 (626 votes, weighted by site reliability × log of votes); shrunk toward the season baseline 7.27 by vote count, it becomes 5.23. Sites score differently (Bangumi runs low, bilibili high), so each is first calibrated to one scale using titles rated on both it and AniList, then combined; sites with fewer than 100 votes are ignored.
