A little change of chart, maybe more accurate for English-speaking audiences.

p.s. I'm posting this 3 days after this was first published, so some shows' numbers may not reflect the quality of the most recent episode.

Shangri-la, killer opening, healthy depiction of Otaku and gamers in general. Well written, it treats the audience like they know things about games instead of explaining things at a beginner level (like every other gaming/isekai anime). The fights are beautifully animated/choreographed, and the concept is pretty unique. Instead of some rando being incredibly OP due to some niche expertise, Sunraku/Hizutome is just really freaking good at games. Also, based on NPC dialog, there's a deeper mystery to the game and the show takes the proper time to let that unfold instead of info-dumping at the earliest opportunity.

Great explanation. Glad to see it up on the chart. I've really enjoyed Shangri-la a lot more than I expected. Sunraku's bird head and attire kind of worried me in the PV, was afraid it might be too much, but it works.
