Looked okay, apart from this shot:
I can't handle how unbalanced the frame is!
Maybe it's intentionally unbalanced, maybe his #2 turned on him and the shot is highlighting the loss of him

I wanted a kiss even one from victory and not obscured, but I did get them holding hands so was pleased, I love when two guys in love hold hands.

A pretty typical, yet safe ending. Chitose became a slightly better person, but not perfect, and overall everyone came out of this better than they were at the beginning. I don't see this show as being that cynical about the industry. It shows some of its less than stellar sides and how a lot of the people involved really shouldn't be where they are, but it shows that if you work hard and have the talent, you will be rewarded. Overall, one of the stronger anime I've seen this year.

Yeah it was alright but it didn't hit hard like other shows did. From what I've heard I thought it was going to be something tragic like
having the main hero not make it in time on the train or the girl dying or something but instead it was just a very real scenario about how life is when people grow apart

Two initial thoughts about Kizumonogatari II:
1) I see Araragi is a disciple of the Joseph Joestar school of fighting.
2) The sound effects guy had an unhealthy amount of fun.

I have a lot of these older gems to go through still. I wanna get through the whole GITS Universe because the whole idea behind it fascinates me. BUT I also know that I need to check out Akira, and I have had that just sitting here for ages, amongst the entirety of my other backlog aha

Ouch. Have watched the Key shows yet, or Plastic Memories?
Same here. Since I just started watching anime a couple years ago (almost to the day) I've only watched GiTS, Bebop and Kare Kano for 90's shows..

Which key shows?
I was watching plastic memories due to a gif I saw. But then I made the mistake of trying to listen to the theme song on YouTube and read spoiler comments by accident :/
I still want to finish it properly but I just haven't had the urge. In general I haven't been watching anime throughout my vacation, until now with 5cm.

For Key shows:
Clannad/Clannad After Story (The most impactful show by far)
Kanon(2006) <has some really touching and heart breaking moments>
Air (this one has such a weird tone of sadness to it)
Little Busters! (Thus one hits hard as well, but the theme is on friendship and those tight bonds instead of "loved ones."
Well, there's not much to spoil with PM. It's all about excellent execution in the later episodes. Tbey should have done a few things better, but the show doesn't hide the end game from thr viewer at all. It didn't get a ton of love here, but man...

Harry Potter...excludes film tickets...what were they buying? your name.??? Assassination Classroom had movies too.
I dont understand that list, food wars? Bungou Stray Dogs? Really?
GoldCrusader

Books and the movies I guess. Fantastic beast came out recently, maybe that gave a boost to the series? It counts as something from the Harry Potter series no?
Bungo was fairly popular and the anime this year must have given a boost to the manga too.

My bro is a big Clannad fan. I'll have to watch it. It's one of those shows that I should watch but when I did I did it at the wrong time lol. Just didn't feel like slice of life for those first episodes.
I'll watch it though. Just gotta make time, or not sleep :v

Jk rollings books must have long legs, if only sites took interest in translating the top normal books from oricon not just manga and ln
I thought bungou had barely made the best selling 30 list of manga franchises, the other stuff associated with it must gave really made up for the more numerous manga sales from things like World Trigger.

It's definitely worth your time for the experience alone. The first season is to get to know the characters and set up everything that happens in After Story (yeah, very SoL). You will definately laugh and cry
and cry again and then again dammit..
So yeah. Watch that next and enjoy the ride...

dafuq? Just saw an ad for Crunchyroll on AMC.
Since when did they buy ads on AMC? Nevermind ads for a slot during a Breaking Bad marathon. Seems like a bit of a demographic mismatch for an ad campaign.
...And bloody hell, I think I might have invalidated my own point by the fact that I'm watching a Breaking Bad marathon and watch anime... Uh, casually. For research purposes. Time to slap myself with the hardest facepalm I can.

Garo Divine Flame
Garo Divine Flame is fucking dope, and has some of the best action I've seen in years. If you're tired of limp boring action scenes, Divine Flame is the shot in the arm you've been waiting. Every action scene is bigger than the last, and it all culminates in a final scene of dynamic excess that seems straight out of a platinum game, yet still manages to have a strong human element. That alone makes Divine Flame worth seeing in my eyes, but the movie just feels good for fans of the series. The gang is all here, and while I do wish some characters got a bit more focus, the film feels like it understands what made the show work. (Speaking of working, the horror designs in this one. The dragon horror towards the middle in particular is basically everything I want out of monster design.) It doesn't turn anything storywise on its head, and it doesn't take away anything from previous events in the series.
Is it possible for an anime character to be too attractive? To be too perfectly tailored for me?

I very much fear the AOTY isn't going to be Rakugo, or Mob Psycho, or Jojo, but Re:Zero.

Seems like folks have already forgotten Re:Zero, thankfully.
I still have to understand where the "bait" was in Yuri on Ice.
I think the only people who got baited were the ones who expected the main character to get a girlfriend.

Of course, if you have a nice dad in anime, they die, to be replaced by shitty anime dad anyways.
Kidding aside, I quiet liked it. The show, as always, is over narrated considering there is the visual aspect it can play around with, but it did excel in creating atmosphere, whether it be of calm nostalgia when it was about his dad, somber and lonely after being adopted, and a bit of terror when it was about Kyoko. The episode also did a good job at motivating Rei's independent nature.

While I don't like the show, I doubt that is the case. Despite it probably not going to win number 1 spot, it will probably end up in the list.
Oh it's on "the list" alright.

Only 12K for the statue! Do IT!
So what were the must watch shows of 2016? This week I went through Mob psycho, berserk, and hero academia. Mob was excellent, berserk was good, and hero was ok. JoJo is on my list. What else am I missing that is quality stuff? I like anything other than slice of life. Solid storytelling is my jam.
Rakugo

I feel like anime/manga either goes all in with the yaoi by showing gay relationships in a bubble, or just leave everything to subtext so that fans can fill it in with doujinshi. lol
Idols rule Japan.
And I guess Osomatsu-kun is one of those huge nostalgia plays that hit big? Like... I dunno, if they made a new Flintstones cartoon and aired it in prime time or something.
March Comes In Like a Lion: 6
Basically, oh you made it in to the pros, no pressure dude.
I liked the episode overall, but it does remind me that the comedy is obnoxiously unfunny at times, even if their timing doesn't introduce a mood whiplash most of the time. And man, that drawn out swimming metaphor was kind of pretentious.

No, I think the popularity of Osomatsu has very little to do with nostalgia for the original Osomatsu-kun manga or anime and a lot to do with female audience affection for the characters' reimagining in Osomatsu-san.

Rakugo.
Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju, Yuri on Ice, and Space Patrol Luluco. Doukyuusei was good too if you're up for watching a movie.
Thunderbolt Fantasy isn't technically anime but might as well point you in that direction too.
Ryuichi Makino (Wandering Son) is the character designer and chief animation director. Jun Nakai (Tokyo Majin, Gate) is the other chief animation director.
Makoto Kato (Aldnoah Zero) is the assistant director. Masako Matsumoto (Aldnoah Zero) and Aoi Yamamoto (Fairy Tail) are the main animators.
I-IV is the mecha designer, Takashi Hashimoto is the effect animator, Sawano Shitfucker is the composer.
Looks like it's Ei Aoki All Stars featuring a chunk of Aldnoah staff.

Has anyone been listed for scripts other than Hiroe?
EDIT: Actually looking at the page, who's that being credited with Series Composition besides Hiroe?
EDIT 2: Never mind I am bad. So Aoki and Hiroe as Series Composition...meaning that's probably a placeholder.

Visually this looks abysmal, and I can't expect the narrative will be any better. Alas, Ei Aoki hasn't been able to make anything good since Wandering Son and Fate/Zero.
That would be Aoki.
