Ehhhhhh, not a great year apparently. Would've given AOTY to Tatami Galaxy, personally.
This year is looking p good though. Hyouka, F/Z, Jinrui, JoJo, tsuritama among others.

Im leaning between Blast of Tempest, K, Accel World, or Tsuritama. (Guilty Crown if it counts for 2012)
F/Z was already 5th this year though...I dont think s2 was better than S1.

2012 was pretty weak compared to 2011 or 2010.
I hope 2013 will deliever more great animes. At least the movie releases are already better.

This is true.
Fate Zero is probably the best all around show that also happens to not be boring.

But why did she bite?

wafu count: atleast 14 and there's probably more i couldnt make out in the completely incomprehensible noises she loves to make
I'm still surprised Kyoani didn't pick this, she looks completely retarded and clueless, the perfect bait for Otaku.
A lot of casual viewers like myself are not here to "appreciate the dialogue or animation," so it's not all that surprising.
Although I guess that depends on what you mean by "appreciate." One of the best parts about JoJo is the dialogue and a lot of people recognize that.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
My AOTY has already been solidly decided with Ano Natsu de Matteru.
Chuu2Byou will most likely get number two, Hyouka number three, after that it's up in the air.

She's horrible. The worst character in Gurren Lagann IMO. God, when she talks, my ears bleed, so fucking horrible.

Fuck off Nia is mai waifu and she's voiced by Yukari Fukui. Nia is a true Nonoriri.
God... no way in hell Hyouka will win, it's boring as fuck for most of the audiences.
I'll vote for JoJo. No other anime this year got me so pumped while watching, bad animation and all.
Who? What? She's a... what?
No one with a K-ON avatar should attempt to avatarquote.

Show is still cute. It's a little shallow in its melodrama, and it lacks any sort of real introspection, but it's cute and it feels good. This show is one cour right? Might as well see it through. Maybe I'll check out Hyouka afterwards - seems like a lot of people like it.
Be my guest. I wanted your opinion because the first sketch I did was a little different. I had Deko leaning her back against Nibu's breasts, while Nibu poured warm milk over Deko's face and body lustfully. She caressed her delicate little figure carefully with her free hand. Deko looked surprised, and the milk ran down her shirt causing it to become wet and see-through. That way you could see that she had no bra on. Then I thought, man that's gross. Who the hell wants warm milk on their clothing? Plus, isn't it more fitting that they're fighting to suppress their feelings for each other rather than to have blatant lesbianism on display? Well, that's what I thought anyways.
Hey, voyeurism is my favorite sport!

Anime of the Year is Polar Bear's Café anyway. All your opinions are invalid.
Yes, and?

Actually, fuck. I forgot Acchi Kocchi was this year (keep thinking last year)
That one is up there, just needed to decide if two or three...

Sweet lord, please link it! :O
It is more fitting, but I can also see something like this happening when they reach that breaking point where they're unable to control themselves against one another.
All but one of my AotY votes are locked in now. I just have one wild card spot that hinges on how a couple of these fall series turn out.
It already hit 52 episodes, I think, so it would have premiered some time last year.

space bros wins best theme of the year.
The show like literally has like 1 song in it's OST, and it's awesome.

So she isn't a send up of that character type? Hmmmm. I don't know if I'm prepared to hate a character in this show yet. It's been fun so far.
You have many waifus, don't you Regulus?
Yeah, it kind of seemed about as pointless as those age gate things that websites use to cover themselves from any legalities I suppose. It's not like someone can't get someone else's information after they make their first purchase.
I suppose things will take longer to ship due to the holidays but how long do things usually take to get to you? or do you not really order from them that often to recall?
A great big royal rumble with all the different teams participating as a final battle would be pretty cool extra fight.
Hmm, I'm not sure about Mayuri due to what happened and her nature but I imagine Kurisu would really just carry on as she had been with her work and research and such.
I looked up Daicon IV when /XX/ was talking about it and without the little bit of context it probably would have seemed to be one of the most random and strangest videos I've ever seen. Actually, even with context it's probably one of the most random and strangest videos I've seen.
I believe the two voice actresses portraying Lacus Clyne in Gundam SEED reprise their roles for Gundam SEED Destiny.
Okay, those were the two instances I could recall but I wasn't sure if there was another or more to which you might have been referring.
The scene in Utena is simpler but just as memorable I think with the emotions and context of the story around it at that point. I found it to be a more memorable scene anyway. I think for me it was a more sombre tone when I watched it though.
Yeah, just saw this over on the gaming section. Interesting that it will be packaged in here as well. Thanks for this information.
I really hope so...
Was there not two different votes for AOTY? One for more specifically AnimeGaf and another for NeoGaf members in general?

Patlabor The Movie:
Having somehow never seen anything Patlabor related up until now, I nonetheless jumped on buying those limited editions when they were linked to, and have no rectified my past sins by watching the first movie.
Sweet lord, that was incredible. Right from the opening, it was a gorgeous film. That opening sequence was just amazing, with wonderful animation, great art, awesome direction and great music, and it really set the stage for the whole film. Visually, it was a joy to watch, with some really beautiful scenes, awesome architecture and great character work. The facial expressions were great throughout the film, right from that very first shot with a sinister smile. I wish everything could look this good at all times. The soundtrack throughout the movie was very well used, too. There were so many scenes that were really enhanced because of how perfectly the music created a particular feeling, and they were able to tell a great story even when there were extended periods without much dialogue.
But even leaving the visuals aside, this was just an amazing movie. The plot moved along with some great turns, and the characters were great. The story about the way workers are treated by the corporations is one that transcends setting, but it worked so well here, tying in with how the technology has advanced, and how
. Combined with that, you have the relentless march of technology, and the loss of our roots as everything is paved over for the new hotness. It fits the time period to a tee, and evokes that feeling of loneliness even in a major city.
I also loved that the final end is
.
There's still so much I have to process from this movie, but I think it's safe to say that it's going to find a place high among my favorite anime films. I'm only sorry that it took me so many years to see this.
I agree about 2011, but no way was 2010 better than this year. There was a handful of good shows in 2010, but this year has definitely had more quality shows emerge than 2010 did.

everyone "important" is ready to brush everything away as user error and just assume that it's the labor class that is screwing things up, because they're unimportant
I also loved that the final end is
after the 'save the world' plot is resolved, and is instead a personal conflict. It puts the focus squarely where it should be: on the real people who are living and fighting and dying in this story, rather than on the epic scale
