this really does seem like a gintama plotline. just with more perving
the flavor of the month show never wins
how high do your think Erased, MHA and Kabaneri will place?

Right now, my Top 5 is something like this:
1. Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu
2. Mob Psycho 100
3. Re:Zero
4. Kiznaiver
5. JoJo's Bizarre Adventures: Diamond is Unbreakable
So... this could work as my Top 5 New Anime for 2016 (replace JoJo with Space Patrol Luluco or with Tanaka-kun is Always Listless).

Yuri!!! On ICE Episode 7 – China's On! The Grand Prix Series Opening Event!! The Cup of China Free Skate
Guang-hong ji had the best performance and I loved that random story for him in the middle of the performance. Too bad he has to be a show called Yuri on Ice as his fate was sealed the second he made a mistake.
Yuri's performance continues to always be the most boring, the music doesnt sound as good as say Russia's this episode or Minami's that episode, and I never feel like my eyes are glued to the screen watching it.
Phichit is overrated. I dont like the results.

Sound! Euphonium s2 7:
Nice to have some Haruka focus. She had a lot of good moments this episode, and this episode really sold on how important Asuka is to the band.
There were a few moments in the episode that I felt were a bit heavy handed (particularly the bit with Asuka's mom at the start), and this isn't really may favorite episode by far, but it's an important episode of the continued development of the cast.

Despite the grotesque imagery and bleak mood the I think the film resonated very well with the audience at the festival. It seemed to be popular. I really hope that the movie can be seen by more people, although there are not many opportunities to watch this film. It is also a hard sell to a wider audience because if you're not paying attention it resembles a child's film, when it is actually nothing like that.

Eupho s2 07
A month? That can't be right, can it? I know Japanese people are generally like that and that Asuka's persona is extremely tough and withdrawn (and Taki-sensei is pretty much the same way) but an entire month???
But the Pres is right too. The club does kinda lean on Asuka a whole lot.

I just cannot even focus on watching this. The story and writing are just repulsively bad and I want to just walk away from the screen. There is nothing genuine or sincere here on an emotional level, Euph just pops one contrived problem up after the other in a desperate fashion to create drama it fails to deliver on. Beyond the pathetically blunt and nonsensical domestic abuse in public scene I'm not sure it is even fair to say that this episode has a story. It is not really concerned about Asuka as a character or what these events mean for her or the people around her. This is just another incidental and forgettable road bump for the band as a collective. Its allusions to deeper themes that fizzle into nothing around what the future holds for these students feels completely wasted. The events here are slow, meandering, and completely without purpose until a cool performance scene at the end that fails to really resolve much of anything.
Leveraging sensitive topics like this without falling through on them feels manipulative in the worst way, and it's clear that there are no strong thoughts, themes, or emotions that come through in this story. The presentation is just so heavy handed that I left the episode thinking I was the one who got hit.

Jesus i honestly couldn't remember/believe Galko-chan or Erased were from this year. My sense of time feels like its being counted in dog years or something lately.
Toppity 5ish
Doukyuusei
Rakugo
Osomatsu-san
DJ Tonkatsu(that was this year i think?)
Mob Psycho
Amanachu/Flying Witch
Voltron
And the only shows from this season to add would possibly be Haikyuu, Flip Flappers or Poco's Udon World. Or Concrete Revolutio that i really should watch some time soon.

[Yuri on Ice] - 7 a.k.a the suffering continues
I guess it was nice that we got to learn a little bit more about each of Yuri's rival skaters this week but it still seems that we've only gained a very shallow understanding of them. I'm not still not convinced that the show spent it's time wisely by devoting so much time to all of them.
Beyond that, the struggle to make this series is real. You can feel it grow, week by week, especially when we've had back to back episodes composed of almost nothing but skating. The main things that stood out to me were:
- Unlike last week, they couldn't even finish corrections on Yuri's big skating finale.
- The amount of recycled reaction footage in this episode was shocking. They cut away to same loop of crowd clapping about 5 times. Yes, audience reaction footage is largely recycled in any tv anime production because that stuff is hard to produce but it shouldn't be so painfully obvious. This scene in particular was the main offender:
- Some of the cut-away edits felt distinctly off, as if the editor was just slapping together whatever footage they had lying around to complete the episode. I get the impression that once the episode is 'finished' a large number of the cut-away reaction shots will be completely different and that a lot of this stuff is placeholder.
Also, what's with the

censorship? Can't we be more open than Keijo? Seems a bit cowardly to me.

Gankutsuou:The Count of Monte Cristo ep.1-6
This show is so visually unique, I'm not sure what to say about it in that regard. The characters are all quite quirky and unique, and I love the mature themes the show is using. I also love the mystery behind the Count they are working on, as well as all of the events surrounding all the characters. Surely, everything will come forth eventually, but for now I'm enjoying the crazy ride through this show.

How can I populate mine without the good short shine recs you bring? You and winzo were why I watched Ai Mai Mi and Hackadoll!!!
wtf is this shit? Don't clog up to aoty thread with extraneous stuff
Agreed, it's one thing to poke at a show as it's airing or someone is going through it as it is topical but this sort of thing just leads to antagonistic trolling.

worst lists never make sense because stuff that is truly bad never ends up there, it ends up being just popular show poster didnt like.

This year has had so many 10/10 anime that a top 10 for AOTY will be hard. Id have difficulty putting Gundam Unicorn on it with things like Super Lovers, Monster Hunter Stories Ride On, Prince of Stride Alternative, and more being this year.
Just throw it in wit regular voting, let it sink or swim under its own merit, and be done with it. The aoty list briefly masquerades as a one-off popularity poll for the year but quickly becomes another chapter in what is a growing list of shows highlighted and recommended by the community.

The definition of "hot shit" probably went to Big Order. Goddamn that show was a hot pile of shit and bat shit insane. Stupid, but insane.

Was wondering about the name of an anime but I can't remember it or find thru google. It takes place in a school for magical/gifted kids and they play this game involving moving these clay doll things telepathically. It seemed pretty dark and was not a kids show. I recall them meeting a strange creature (or robot) who tells them things are not as they seem.
It seemed really interesting and I want to keep watching. From Around 2009 iirc.
