Before it airs
Anticipation · not a quality scoreAnticipation (0–100) is how much a not-yet-aired title is looked forward to compared with the rest of its season, from how many people follow it on AniList, MyAnimeList and Bangumi, plus a small share from the sentiment of pre-air comments when there are enough. It is not a quality score: before the premiere the title has no overall score and isn't ranked. Scores form as episodes air.

What people sayExpectations before it airs, not opinions of the episodes
AI sentiment analysisAn AI model 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).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.See the score breakdownThis title hasn't aired yet. These are comments from before the premiere, mostly expectations from the trailer, the source and the staff, not opinions of the episodes.
