Macy's Asadora Ranking
Each score is completely biased and rated on a curve. I'm generally an easy-to-please person and find that I become attached to each asadora even if it's not that great [and even if it actively frustrates me lol]. My star ratings on this ranking are my attempt at being less biased, but that's still very hard to do...
An explanation of my rating system:
- Plot, Heroine, Side characters: The most important categories and effect the overall score.
- Couple(s): This category doesn't effect the overall score since romance doesn't necessarily denote a good asadora. However, it is often important to an asadora and it's something I personally enjoy, so I'm including it as a bonus.
- Music: Also a bonus and doesn't affect the overall score. Basically just if I like the theme song or not.
While this is a ranking list, my favorite asadora will always be Hanako to Anne because it was my first. Followed closely by Ohisama and the others in my top five. However, I can say that I truly loved watching each and every one of these asadoras. They all have my heart, even the ones I wouldn't watch again lol.
As of March 2025, I only have five subbed asadoras to watch! I'm expecting to watch them in this order: (1) Churasan, (2) Gegege no Nyobo, and (3) Hiyokko. This is subject to change, of course...
