I already knew Ginga e Kickoff was doing pretty well in Japan based on the TV ratings and my usual method of measurement (how many doujins are out there) but it’s nice to see some confirmation: it placed third in a poll by BIGLOBE (an ISP) of “Best Spring Anime”. It’s not a scientific poll, of course, but it’s still nice to see. Are you reading, Crunchyroll?

That aside though, it's good to see one of the best sports series I've seen in a while doing well.

It's only here in your blog that I can get good insights and discussion on the latest episodes. I'm a little surprised that Tsuritsama fared lower than it should. I guess it's probably not everyone's cup of tea.
