Something like...
1 Mushishi S2
2 Ping Pong
3 Parayste
4 Hunter x Hunter Election Arc
5 Shingeki no Bahamut
6 Nozaki-kun
7 Space Dandy S2
8 Barakamon
But you know, the positions aren't fixed, several of them are very close and could switch in any moment.

Gargantia ova -1
When this was announced I thought we're getting a sequel, I was excited then they announced it's just two ovas, okay it's still better than nothing, still a sequel right?
They made an hour long episode of inconsequential flashbacks and their effect on present and more uh romance I guess, story doesn't progress whatsoever until the last 5 seconds which is inserted there so that not everyone loses interest in the second one.
It's well made and it's more gargantia but it's not a sequel. I'm not sure if I like where this story is going either.

Chaika AVENGING BATTLE - Episode 5
Not much avenging, but lots of battles. The security on this island is really some of the worst ever. The guards are so awful they couldn't contain two unarmed girls, or one unarmed ninja, nor could they stop another two people from breaking -in-, and then subsequently freeing everyone else. Chaika has a Miku-Gun now, neat. I guess the tournament is going to start very soon, and there should be some really good action scenes there.
I lol'd hard when the guy was like "OH NO, THEY ESCAPED! NO MATTER, THE EXITS ARE ALL SEALED!" and then "OH NO, THEY TOOK MY MOST IMPORTANT EXPERIMENT! NO MATTER, THE EXITS ARE ALL SEALED!" and finally "OH NO, SOMEONE BROKE IN FROM ONE OF THE EXITS, IT'S NO LONGER SEALED. NOOOOOO!!!!" He's fucking awful at his job.

At the end, even if we love to complain of bad anime, we had a pretty good year this time.

Turns out Shigeru Miyamoto should probably make animated films instead of games during his senile years. 10/10, anime of the year and all that.

Jesus Christ Olimar is terrifying up close!
Is that blood dripping from his mouth?
I would imagine due to the objectives and context of Pikmin he's eating a berry or something.
Nah dude, he ate a red pikmin

Naruto Shippuden: Season 17 Episode 385 Obito Uchiha
Reasons why I dont like Kakashi-sensei. Obito was so good back then and pretty hilarious too. If only he wasnt treated so badly.

Mysterious guy in the intro turns out to be Dreamy Crown's designer who provides Akari with her first Premium Dress, in this case themed after the princess from Swan Lake, which means she's channeling the power of Duck and Princess Tutu, which is a pretty good path to take. I wouldn't count him as a love interest just yet. Sumire/Akari is still at the forefront here. The sporadic usage of the old cast is also appreciated. Aoi's class this episode, and next episode having more Yurika. S3 is shaping up just fine.

What could have been ...
Yes lets spend 20 more minutes on Obito flashbacks ... (spoilers for the next few episodes I imagine.)
I hope Hidan will crawl out of his hole and become the final villain.

This talk no jutsu is really going to happen, isn't it ? They're worse than Stalin and Mao combined.

After War Gundam X - 30
So I decided to pick this up again seeing as there were only 10 episodes left.
And wouldn't you know it, this was the episode when important things started happening again. Much different than the super slow pace of the last few episodes I remember this show having.

Parasyte - 05
I totally disagree with everyone who's saying Shinichi's 'pussy' behavior is pissing them off. Just WHAT THE FUCK do you want him to do in these situations. If he lets Migi take action he's risking taking the life of 4+ people. To win the battle Migi might just hurt them, sure, but Migi's not going to take any risk letting eye-witnesses escape and pose a threat for Shinichi. This isn't some "generic good guy" action, this is where I hope even an asshole would consider his choice wisely. Shinichi's also made perfectly clear how opposed he is to the idea of killing and acting like the other parasystes/like an animal.
So what is he supposed to do? If I were in his shoes I'd feel as helpless. I mean the other guys are stronger than him, period. Contrary to popular believe you'll not just destroy people 1vs4 because you're angry
That he isn't just running away to let Satomi get molested or even raped should be perfectly understandable too.
If anything I'm by bothered by this scenario taking place at all because it was a cheap, generic "bullies beat someone up and hero with new powers gets involved" situation. As far as I'm concerned it was executed well enough but I wouldn't disagree if someone considers it contrived.
Chaika AB - 05
Even for a Chaika episode this plot progression relied way, way too much on the enemies' incompetence. The villain from that episode was also you're typical, purely evil moron.
However we got a bunch of neat action and the new girl transformed into a ludicrous Gundo weapon and all was good.
e:
It causes brain damage of that degree? Oh boy
Hang in there buddy.
Too bad about the parents. But at least, until death, they were about as well written parents as you'll find in anime.

Right now, Shirobako has anime of the year for me. Unless it suddenly declines in quality, it should be a pretty easy number one, with Ping Pong coming in at two.

Yeh at this point in may start favoring Shirobako over Parasyte as it's less flawed, even if the story of Parasyte grabs me more right now. Some of the weird transformation sounds are just so bad though and while I've grown accustomed to the dubstep and appreciate it to some degree, it still feels out of place at times.
