Yeah, the episode was really well executed. It had steady build-up, but the mood left you not knowing whether they were actually going to win or lose the set, until you saw the crappy serve. Then you saw Tsukishima'a lion eyes stalking its prey and you knew what was coming. Super hype.
Also bonus points for being smug about it to Hinata while being tsundere to everyone else.
They'll go back and forth I guess. I think they will cover more ground in the coming weeks this way.
That's just the theme of this season.

I don't think I've asked before and I'm really interested in the diversity of possible answers in here, so what is everyone's #1, all-time favorite anime series? (not movie)
Mine's still Clannad and I don't think anything will ever top it for me, just too many great moments.
What's yours and why? "I want to know your everythings"* lol.

I kid, but I really am interested!

Hmm, I haven't really thought about that. I guess The Tatami Galaxy. I didn't have any complaints with it, it's beautiful and it resonates with me like nothing else.

So if we exclude movies
Up until last year it was Haikyu, but My Hero Academia is now my #1
And why? MHA brought me joy every Sunday morning and Wednesday night(Simulcast/simuldub) and I felt like a little kid watching is morning cartoons all over again. Also, that All Might vs Noumu battle was so above and beyond what I was expecting, that I was crying tears of joy.
Yeaaaaa, I like it a lot!

-Introduced me to Super Robots
-Made me love mecha in general
-Phenomenal OST.
-Has what is probably my favourite final showdown in any anime ever.
I could sit here for hours talking about why I love TTGL so much.

From the plot to the characters, from the direction to the animation, you can't get an SoL with the tremendous staying power that Hyouka had in me and others alike. This is a masterpiece. An untouched one.
Hyouka is boring.

I always have great difficulties naming THE #1 favorite of any big collection of shit that I like, be it books, games or chinese cartoons, so my answer is not actually absolute. Hells, even forming a coherent top 10 is a Herculean task.
But fuck it, lets just shoot one. Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A`s.
The Great Passage Episode 3:
Something I don't think that has been remarked on is just how out of time this series comes across. This is both resonant in the fact that the staff is still working by hand and has a paper based filing system and how they are the last staff left in the old building. Perhaps a grander metaphor on the state of the dictionary in general. Indeed we can see they striving for modernity as this new dictionary is going to include works from fields like IT and the world of Computers. It is an odd sort of viewpoint that really dates the characters which is strange because the original movie is from 2013 and this sounds like a conversation that should be taking place in the late 1990s. Also, they wish The Great Passage to be a hybrid of a dictionary and encyclopedia and this is clearly a universe where Wikipedia doesn't exist, or perhaps it does as we are told that the division is hanging by a thread and is quite the money pit. Oh, right, also a token romance was started that I suppose I should find compelling and endearing but I just find mildly annoying given how cliched it has been so far.

While the original novel was published in 2011, the story itself is actually set in 2000 (you can see specific date references in the anime if you look closely).
I just finished this yesterday, and I quite agree.
Who's a good boy? Densuke. Densuke's a good boy. Yes he is.
That explains so much, that explains why this just feels like it was made around that time, kudos for nailing that so thoroughly.
One Piece used to be a favorite of mine. In particular the water 7 and enies lobby arc. Just thinking about some of these scenes makes me teary. Usopp vs Luffy, Merry going down and obviously the moment the strawhats come get Robin.
That's more like a favorite memory. One Piece hasn't been that special since Thriller Bark to me.
Choosing the number one between my favorites is not easy. Digimon, Ippo, Jojo, Berserk, Hunter x Hunter and Sexy Commando all stuff I really enjoy watching.
If I have to pick one, it would be Digimon. Especially the first season. So many feels just by watching the opening.
For best anime I watched it's easily Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Nothing really compares imo.
Okay, if we are playing this game, I suppose I would have to select Ranma !/2 as my all time favorite and important anime as this was really the series to bridge the gap from casual watcher to hardcore fan. That being said, I have not watched the series in forever and I don't think I want to, one of those memory tarnishing endeavors.
I agree. Though I do see why some found it boring. It's a subtle anime, and doesn't shove its narrative down your throat like many others do. It's slow paced, but the character development and how those little bonds are forming within the group are excellent.
The mysteries themselves are okay, but are not the soul of Hyouka. I also don't find it a good romance anime, like it may consider itself as. It's a slice of life anime, as far as I'm concerned, and a damn good one at that. It's tranquil, with very well written characters. I just love it.
The first 6 or so episodes are the some of the best in the whole series, and basically offer enough closure so that you can watch them and go on with your life. I highly recommend watching these episodes, at least.

So the Bookmaker just wants to see people squirm. Discount Ultih really. Suzuko and Hanna are going to get close by the end of this. Hanna is pretty good at figuring out what happens. In the end Sumida really was just a punk with no skill. Chinatsu really doesn't give a damn. Almost like something happened to her when she almost disappeared. Or she's just really jaded. And of course the LRIGs do indeed replace their owners. Which accounts for the personality change, but not the memory loss since they're made up of memories. So I don't know what to think.

That's really to hard. I really have trouble naming all time favourites of any kind of media. I could produce a shortlist, but that's about as close as I could get. And that would include Natsumes Book of Friends, Spice and Wolf, Monogatari and Hyouka. Tamayura too.
You bring up Clannad, and whilst I look very highly upon AS I don't put it up there because it's not something I'm keen on rewatching as it turned me into such an emotional wreck I barely made it through and that memory is still strong. And rewatchability is a big part of what puts stuff into the higher group for me.

So, up till a few years ago my Mother, bless her, would always do cake art for my birthday, putting my favorite characters on my Birthday Cakes. Well I started to do it myself a couple years ago when she became too busy (and perhaps me too old to have her do it for me.)
In 2014 I did an Optimus Prime cake for myself. And this year a Original Gundam Cake.
Tonight and this weekend I'll be attempting to put Renge (Non Non Biyori) and a Zigzagoon on my Wife's cake for her Birthday. I know my art isn't all that great, but I'm really hoping I can do her favorite Anime Girl justice.
Also:
Flip Flappers Episode 4:
Definitely heading for a mid season drop. Character work is weak, although this episode was a little better in the end, and while we both love the art, the growing unneeded fan servicey sexuality is putting my wife off. I'm not all that bothered, but in the lieu of anything more substantial I think we're about ready to be done.
Keijo Episode 4:
Crazy fun episode. Even my wife enjoyed it and she's been less enthused than I've been with the series.
Drifters Episode 4:
Also on the verge of dropping. The copy breaks the tension so much I actually found myself actively losing interest and my attention wandering.
And my favorite anime of all time with, probably, forever be: Getter Robo Armageddon:

Yeah, that was an awesome ride.And my favorite anime of all time with, probably, forever be: Getter Robo Armageddon:
I'm not really sure what my all time favorite anime would be, but maybe Gintama or Gurren Lagann, I guess. Making a top 10 is already hard enough, singling it down is impossible

NO wonder dark theme didn't work occasionally
My all-time favorite hasn't really changed in a long time. And it's FLCL.
It blends the endless possibility and fun of animation with a strong sense of the pain and contradictions involved in growing up, and a strong, independent cast of characters that all grow in satisfying ways over the course of the series. It's incredible how well it comes together given how much independence the animators involved had in experimenting with new ideas and indulging themselves in visual gags.
I feel like I get something new out of it every time I come back to it. Even with its bonkers plot.
Dennou Coil is a really great series.

Good one, it completely failed as a manga imo. While the anime is great.

And everything is now right for this season. I was really surprised they weren't dubbing it.
I don't think I've asked before and I'm really interested in the diversity of possible answers in here, so what is everyone's #1, all-time favorite anime series? (not movie)
Mine's still Clannad and I don't think anything will ever top it for me, just too many great moments.
What's yours and why? "I want to know your everythings"* lol.
*I kid, but I really am interested!inspired by Yuri on ice ep. 2
It's Clannad for me too. Season 2 is what puts it over the top but I was in love after the first season.
Can't watch Euphonium episode 4 yet (I don't pay for Crunchyroll). Episode 4 better get good. First 3 episodes left me sort of lukewarm so far. Yeah I'm curious if
they will let that girl back into the band
