That isn't even a modern thing, Spider-Man was huge for kickstarting a bunch of toku stuff lol
But I would say My Hero Academia is closer to western cape comics then to Japanese tokusatsu, when OPM is kind of in between.

Kind of amusing to me as I came to anime as a way to escape superheroes.
Shirobako 02-03
Why didn't you tell me before how awesome this show is? D:
I really like to see a pretty normal show for a change. The last show I watched which felt the same was probably Silver Spoon. It's also a setting that hasn't really been done before, or at least not like this, unlike school or idol. While it's pretty hard to say something about the huge cast after only 3 episodes, I like pretty much all characters so far.

I can promise you 100 different people did
Indeed and I am expecting Shirobako to become the 2015 AOTY.
We have Ninja Slayer though...
But who am I talking to, you all don't appreciate it anyways!

And Gintama, which is always pretty high whenever it airs.

Not enough to ever win AOTY, the barrier of hundreds of episodes before you can even start watching what is current is too big.

Gintama's devoted fanbase can't stack up to having to watch 275 episodes. Even HxH which was massively popular on the OT didn't place that high
There doesn't seem to be a frontrunner right now. Not everything has aired or gotten into its groove yet, I don't have a clue what the #1 will be.
Gintama will always be at the top for me but it has too high a barrier for everyone to watch. So it won't make AOTY probably.
Gintama is basically going to occupy the slot left by Hunter X Hunter.

People that like Euphonium are mostly the people who like Shirobako even more.

Shows that were voted in last year usually drop the next. I know this year is meager but that'd be really sad.

Top 3, probably.
Shirobako will probably also be top 3. Lupin or One Punch Man will likely fight for the third spot
Who knows though. I'm sure I'm forgetting something. A lot of people watched JoJo but I don't know how many will vote for it.

TribeCoolCrew Episode 50 END
What better way to close out the series than have heartbeat (lol) play to dance with, as well as the remix version (best) version, and even include the middle part of the song that has only been performed in the live video concert version (I love that part as they dance so well to it live).
Fantastic anime for the past year, glad I stuck with it every week and never fell behind. Though I thought they would struggle to close out the Crowd High plot they tied things together pretty fantastically.
The anime was at its best breaking down dance and trying to be educational about it from isolation with early Hanero trying to get better to dance, to him teaching Momiji to dance like them to eventually teaching Hiroto the Running Man one, it was good.
Great cast, great dance, great music. Best overall OST, the songs they used were fun to dance to and even watch them dance too. I like some of the music they sampled from in their songs later on too. I wish they were played a bit more than just special occurrences.
Will rewatch. 10/10
Favorite dancer award: Yuuji

This happened with From the New World, it was eligible twice and did significantly better the 2nd year.
Lupin struggle is no subs.

Shirobako had episodes this year so it counts. Whether or not you vote on it as a whole or as just what aired this year is on you.
Movies...I think it's when it gets a home release. That's why Rebellion was eligible last year, I think.
That didn't stop Yamato!
Is no one really subbing Lupin 2015? I figured CR would since they got the older series
I know this is why Shriobako has a strong case, the show debuted a year ago and it is still on the mind of the people and is still rather beloved. That is some strong resonance but indeed nothing is assured yet.
Ah, okay. Just thinking about what I have watched this year there are quite a few shows that I would consider AOTY material. And we have still one more season to come after this.
I don't given it finished in 23rd place last year.

I hope your lie in april lies with the fishes of ratings.
thats because it released with subs
It was also half finished last year, the rep has grown over the course of a year.
Competition varies year to year. Some shows go up over time but a log of shows like GBF, JoJo, Space Brothers, Kill la Kill, or Girls und Panzer go down year over year. If Shirobako wins it's because it doesn't have competition from new shows.
You and I both know the Lupin situation is nothing like this.

I'm not quite sure I understand. Aside from the early Italian airing what's different?
I personally don't vote much for Gintama since I like to give new shows* a chance at the awards and I've been watching Gintama for years.
*I do vote for a series 2 on occasion.

Even that has an analogue with Yamato 2199, in the sense that 2199 began releasing on BD first, after theatrical screenings of 4 episodes each, before it started its TV airing. Very few people paid attention to the series until the TV run began though.

Not sure why everyone was so worried about with this show, but, so far, that was a pretty awesome episode. That dudes mech got wrekted at the end. The animation, music and soundvall appeared pretty damn good.. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this..
While that's somewhat noble, just accepting that Gintama is simply good even after all this time would also be great. :0
Japanese BRD release of Yamato has English subtitles. Lupin has no support or inroads to the English speaking community yet.

Okay. I didn't know about that detail. I can see how that would make a difference. I watched Yamato last year when it was fully completed and was only slightly aware of the theatrical screenings aspect.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Episode 8
Mokuba sounds like Naruto Uzumaki. Nice.
That Kaiba looks so strange though. For some reason I dont remember this being a battle?

Comet Lucifer 01
First half was good. That city reminded me of Kiki's city from Kiki's Delivery Service for some reason. Not really sure about the second half.
One Punch Man 01
I honestly have no idea how will they keep this interesting if they keep the premise in which the MC one-hit-kills everyone. Because aside from "NIIISAAAAN" the comedy wasn't good either.

I'm still kind of surprised that was even allowed given the lack of a western release (streaming or disc) and gafs anti piracy stance.

Well, this talk is kind of treading that line (even though its something to be discussed) but if no one picks it up there's not a whole lot you can do and Yamato totally deserved that placement.

Cavalry 01
So I ended up liking this one more than Asterisk. This one doesn't take itself serioysly and it made me laugh a bunch of times lol. Also like how the MC is trying to catch up with others by working hard, rather than just being good like the Asterisk MC. Also worth mentioning is that the visuals are pretty good in this. Colours and lighting pop. The battle looked great too. Will continue watching. If anything to see which one is best.

...dividing fronts...? Anyone...? ;__;
I liked it when he said "Wait" before the girl threw a tantrum over him seeing her in underwear. It lasted a split-second but it gave me hope that he would rationalize that it was his room, the door was unlocked and he didn't go in there with the intention of spying.
But this is anime so he took his clothes off too.

Nah, that's actually the moment where he's genuinely bonding with Goku. He was basically saying that Goku's personality was rubbing off on him, and they even laugh together right around that scene.

You see I'm easy to please. This moment made me lose my shit. I was expecting the same. Now tell me, between what we got in this, or what we usually get, which is the MC being a p*ssy and getting and red and stuff, at least he acted like a man. Got himself a slap in the face nonetheless but still LOL.
