Toilet-bound Hanako-kun
| Well as far i this happens on MAL a lot. There are several good shows that don't get a high score here at all. If it's result of fan boys, or simple the majority of people who has MAL doesn't liking the show or not knowing or not giving a note, bots... idk. But this has always been a problem tbh... I remember of Db S fans here downvoting Gegege no Kitarou simple because it got the timeslot of it in Japan Also remembered the downvoting war between SNK fans and FMAB fans that kept creating fake accounts to either boost and downvote the show,s this because a bug happened and FMAB lost first place to SNK in top 10 for a few days... So like there are several things that could be the main cause of this, tho i doubt it's bots this time, and more about people don't really knowing this show here... I never heard it before the trailer omes up and instigates me to watch (now i catch uo with manga lol). |

| 7.8 is a pretty good reception tbh for a brand new anime |
| Don't let others ruin things for you. Even if a toxic fan pisses in your cereal, you could just get another bowl of cereal. My Anime List - My Manga List |
| It's one of the highest ranked of the season at the moment and has a reasonable 36k watchers this early on, so I'm not sure what you're getting at. |
| 36k after two episodes is, in my experience, pretty good for a series that is not the sequel/spin-off of an already popular series. It's by no means ridic popular (I would sooner say that of a show that exceeds 50k after 2-3 weeks), but there are single-cour shows that never even break 30k by the 12 week mark. I've seen a lot of the spring and fall shows' watching stats over the years and noticed that the greatest increase in watchers happens during the first three weeks of airing and (in the case of single-cour series/seasons) the first couple weeks after a show finishes. Let's first eliminate sequels like the new Haikyuu season. Those have an unfair advantage when it comes to popularity. Then let's look at current watching numbers. Hanako-kun would definitely be in the top ten site-wide for the season. I see one title with about 56k, several that are in the 39-43k range, and not much more that are higher in watching numbers than Hanako-kun. It might be just outside the top five across the site, but it's still doing very well this early on, with a higher score compared to most other non-sequels, and its drop rate, while not super low, is still respectable enough to not warrant complaint. The fact that this season is full of no names helps to show that it is in fact shining above "middle of the road." |
| Overrated garbage It more popular than it deserves. Railgun S and Itai no wa Iya nano should be more popular than this crap |
| It's decently popular in Twitter where most anime fans reside. |
 |
| nor everyone is using a MAL account. |
 |
| Tbh i don't care about popularity, but for 60,000 members and 7,8 score it is already good. Imo, anything above 50,000 members is popular already. So i don't see any reason to say that something is holding down its popularity. It's only been 2 episodes so far, so there is still a chance for it to get more popularity. |
  Wandering Witch is the best light novel ever! |
| I feel this show is the one with the most potential to gain a bigger audience as it goes on, so give it some time to settle in. |
| If you want strangely unpopular then look at one of the other shows by the same director, Hakumei to Mikochi, with 20,000 less people than this show. It aired 2 years ago and is now out on Blu-ray. It came out on HiDive which was relatively new at the time, which might have something to do with it. So I think this is doing fine (apart from Funimation being late with ep 3, grr) |
DokuseiYT said: this post is useless this anime has good reception so far, so i dont understand what you are trying to say a score of 7.8, is really good for an anime with 2 episodes Your post was useless. He said POPULARITY. Not score. Read. |
 |
| Honestly same question, it's hella slept on.But I would not use MAL or Reddit as indicators, check Twitter. |
|
| It seems pretty popular to me, its already got a mini fandom on twitter and instgram (probably tumblr too but idk) and its been backed by loads of manga readers, also its score isnt half bad, I think it will also get higher as well |

| The title could be an issue, Toilet-bound Hanako-kun doesn't really have a nice ring to it |
| 40K watching on its 3rd episode is decent enough for a decent anime, I've seen S-tier shows with less than 10K |
 |
| Most anime starts off with average popularity, and it will increase in time. If this show can pull off a Demon Slayer Ep.19, then it will explode in popularity. |
| I think it's doing well so far. Maybe the reason why it isn't in the top 5 could be the first episode didn't caught so much of the attention. Usually, shows which have a reaaaally good pilot, tend to have good numbers at the beginning. I think it'll be compensated later on, since it definitely is one of the best shows of the season. It'll not be able to surpass the high-profile anime, such as Haikyuu, Boku no Hero, Diamond no Ace, etc, but it'll reach a good position at the end of the season. Now it's on the 12th place in the top airing anime (and you need to consider the never ending anime which never leave the top postiions, such as One Piece and Detective Conan); I think if gets into the top 10 by the end of the season, it's good enough. Besides, it's comedy, which attracts fewer people than other genres; not to mention, it has a higher place than Mairimashita, a comedy show that has been airing for a longer time |
W-Y_2001 said: Most anime starts off with average popularity, and it will increase in time. If this show can pull off a Demon Slayer Ep.19, then it will explode in popularity. I find it hard to, since the genres are different. Jibaku is comedy show with some action scenes and Kimetsu no Yaiba was a shounen show. Shounen anime tend to be the most popular ones |
| it's about a boy in bathroom. Not an attractive title for me at least. But watched it after being recommended by a friend, so far it's on an enjoyable level. |
| I think it has a pretty good rating, but to be honest with a lot of the anime on MAL the ratings don't reflect the quality of the anime. I have an anime Instagram account and my Hanako posts are actually one of the most popular so it's definitely being talked about and people are definitely enjoying. I'm satisfied with that! |
 |
| I think the supernatural genre is generally niche. Beyond that a ton of anime release each season which makes it more difficult to get popular. |
 |
| It's nothing mindblowing or new. |
| generic shounen plot meets alice in wonderland? why did this anime get above a 6? The toilet spirit had malicious intent at first but because the female lead is so special he forgot about it and now just protects her. Also what is that orange haired guy even bringing to the plot other than a reverse harem member with comic relief? There are definitely worse anime released this season don't get me wrong but this series objectively is nothing special. |
 |
| Other than its unique art style it doesn't have anything special and also the plot isn't battle shounen or isekai or some edgy shit you expect to have a better popularity |
| The animation style is not for everyone (although I give it a 10 for it) contrasting colors and crisp outlines. Its beautifully animated with matching aesthetics. Lots of cutesy characters (chibi forms). Yokai themed anime, makes its hard to get into because it does not delve in the seriousness of it, if u get past that, then you I think you will enjoy it. I think there is more to the characters, but so far everything presented is just on surface level. I do hope it progresses well. |
 |
| I like this anime but I don't think this is the best thing in the world. I would give it a higher score but I don't know why they gave Yashiro the daikon legs, I feel like that pretty much turned me off. But it doesn't really bother me, still a good anime that I enjoy. |
| Personally, I feel like a lot of the series that came out this season lacked the promotion that more bigger series have like Boku no Hero Academia or Haikyuu. This series will most likely be picked up by fans of the manga or people who browse MAL or LiveChart to see seasonal Anime. Also, the art style is gorgeous but not everyone's cup of tea. Most people will probably think it's more of a shoujo than a shounen too and not everyone likes shoujos as they do shounens. |
| 臭い- |
| I think it's doing pretty well so far. Definitely one of the more popular shows of the season that don't have an advantage from the get go like Haikyuu being S4 of a very popular series, Eizouken being from a renown director, Darwin's Game being edgy and having cute girls. The score will probably be above 8 by the time it ends, since a lot of people only rate a series after it ends. |
| ..... |
| Well don't want to seem shallow here, but first impression is a really a powerful thing, believe it or not a lot of persons have a impression on a anime just based off its cover, because the cover shows us the character design and also hints to the type of atmosphere the anime has, truthfully based off the cover, I'm not interested in it either, plus the synopsis doesn't seem that interesting either, but I will give it a chance by watching one episode since this series has gotten some hype and the manga is rated pretty highly. But yeah, the reason why its not that popular is because of how the character design looks, it looks like a kid show if I'm being blunt. |
| Fans are keeping the popularity up but is really that good? I differ... |
 |
| I've gave this the 3 episode rule before I dropped it. This isn't really interesting, it's quite bland. Also it's got like the lowest animation budget i've seen all season. Most of these episodes looks like moving storyboards than actual animations. Which would be more excusable it was cheap shortform eps and not full length episodes. However my friend who I was watching it with was really into it. Sometimes all it's gotta be is cute enough to stay popular. |
 |
| Well. It appears to be a lot more popular and rated much higher than it actually deserves to be. But it isn't like MAl scores have to do anything with reality. As for me, i drop this show. Far too boring for my taste. |
| Tbh I couldn't make it to ep 2 even, I failed the 3-episodes drop rule The problems of this anime as many other ppl have mentioned so far, the animation budget is probably 0. The story is N/A, and finally, this looks like a reverse-harem anime or something that's more attracted by "young" female audiences, The "cover poster" of the anime even looks like a reverse-harem anime, and the characters tbh are just ... ugh, too bland maybe ? I can't even describe it. *facepalm* |
 |
| I personally hope that it is popular enough (whether apparent on MAL or not) to get a season 2 and so forth. Would be a shame to have this cute series left incomplete. |
| I keep hearing that the manga is better. In fact, the manga is rated higher than My Hero Academia and Demon Slayer! |
| I think 7.77 is the perfect score for this anime. (in relation to school mystery no. 7) |
