Gosh I love Yoasobi, they are associated with so many series in this year's contest.
Actually two shows remaining feature Yoasobi songs! Even if one of them hasn't officially broadcast the ED yet.

Very respectable performances, though apparently it alternates between top 10 and top 30.
Perhaps next year it bucks the trend, but this year it matched its terrfic debut placement.

Monogatari having the VA for the arc's main girl sing the OP is something I'll always like about the show.

Just hard to recommend a series that's now so long. Was easier when it was just hey go check out Bakemonogatari.

Beastars ties its best performance so a good run.

Monogatari if it gets knocked out tomorrow has the potential to make it 3 7th places in a row.
I obviously don't want that to happen, but we'll see.

7th Time Loop

Ok thank god it wasn't nommed as Loop 7-kaime no Akuyaku Reijou wa, Moto Tekikoku de Jiyuu Kimama na Hanayome Seikatsu wo Mankitsu suru
Right, so this isn't a time travel show set in modern day like Steins;Gate, but an isekai with looping.
Which I guess makes it the top ranked isekai of the year. Though somehow not the top ranked series to feature time loops.

There's still a lot of time related shenanigans left in this contest.
Think maybe at least half the field?

It was a very good act, but also Ukraine now has a huge diaspora in Europe because of the war, as well as a lot of votes in support of them. If I recall they have smashed the public vote every time since the war started.

UK gave 12 points to Israel apparently? Vs 10 for Ireland.

Blimey everyone in Golders Green must have voted for Israel then.

Close run affair in the end.

Good winner.

Croatia getting a high public vote was to be expected

Hell yeah UK got 0 points from the public!

It's just the jury vote.
Public vote is going to see some massive shift.

UK getting the points they deserve

Had a look at what other series were in the same magazine as Mushishi.

Some pretty strong names there, Vinland Saga, Skip & Loafer, Heavenly Delusion, Wave, Listen to me, Parasyte, Oh, My Goddess.

Not bad for a monthly mag.I'd never really heard of.
I'm way too into the Shueisha bubble

Croatia are overwhelming favs now.

So France sending out a serious act.

Aight, can see why Switzerland have a shot.

How big were their concerts?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6670kqCdb8E

First glance, this does seem to be a tier below the now legendary Love Live Tokyo Dome shows, but it's still a strong showing.
This group is meant to be more a spinoff the main show right and has a more dramatic flavour right?

Best concert you've attended featuring an act that did an anime song?
