I too am of the opinion that it was really good.

I thought the VN was pretty terrible honestly. But there are several episodes in AS that I really absolutely loved. I have no problem admitting that watching certain episodes in Clannad AS is the most I've ever cried while watching an anime series.

I didn't think the After Story route was particularly padded, at least by VN standards. I liked that it handled the "What happens after high school" question that these sorts of VNs generally don't.
Of course the true ending is garbage, but that's another matter.
These are the correct answers.
My experiment also has the forunate side effect of showing me who my true nakama are!

Can't believe something as vapid and uninspired as Aria is in the top 20.
I thought After Story was good. The first season is more along the lines of Kanon, straight romance/harem with Key twists.
Paging firehawk.
Kinda how I felt when I first started it too.
I don't think I ever truly got used to the MC's mile-a-minute inner monologue.
Steins;Gate must have hit every right note of the MAL userbase for it to be that high.
If Nichibros got rid of half of its skits then it would have been one of the greatest comedy anime of all time

I couldn't say; although I enjoyed the VN, I haven't watched the anime. What I do know is that condensing the VN's multiple routes down to a linear narrative unfortunately meant removing the two best routes of the school life portion.
Another reminder that Shaft invented style.
This show should be watched to take screencaps of Isanami becuase she is cute as fuck. But otherwise, its rather forgettable.

That's the nature of sketch comedy: it's going to be hit-and-miss even beyond the already subjective nature of comedy. There's certainly some skits that I wouldn't have minded missing, but if the director had only picked, say, 20 of them to animate, there's no guarantee that they would be the 20 you or I most enjoyed.
What is objectively measurable are Nichibros' bargain-basement production values, and it couldn't be one of the greatest comedies of all time without fixing that.
It seems to be set up similarly to Galaxy Angel in terms of structure.
I enjoy those comedy shows where they throw everything at the wall to see what sticks.

She actually got a chuckle out of me in this episode when she joins Saizo in his bed, but for the most part her clinginess is kind of irksome. She is cute though, I'll give you that.

Just to ruin someone's day, someone on my twitter posted that "Eureka Seven" is an anagram for "Keanu Reeves"

Huh.
So the sequel should really have been called "Eureka Seven WHOA"?
Which also reminds me
why the fuck is
Gilgamesh European?

How is he European, because he has blonde hair? Though Nasu did mess up by making him from
Babylon and not Uruk, though that's probably just because he thought Gate of Babylon sounded cooler.
How strange.
basically im saying hes WHITE
thought to be fair its almost impossible to tell where any of them are from

Is Tanaka the only popular anime character with braces? Hope she ends up with Jin.

Gintama is pretty standard for a long anime, and after the first season it does get pretty good animation for the moments that need it. In Nichijo (Sunrise), they seemed unable to even keep the characters on model, in spite of everyone's designs being pretty generic.
I think that's more of a general thing, I don't think people like admitting (most of all to themselves) that they've wasted their time.
Here are a few off the top of my head:
Bleach 5/10
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time 9/10
Eden of The East 7/10
Madpierrot watched the show but he took screencaps of Isanami just so i wouldnt have to suffer to see her.

Mine is usually just from 4 (Nichijou, Working, Honey and Clover) to a 10 (Eva, S7, PB:KnP, GC). Tons of 6-8's. Dont understand how people can have so many things as 10's when I look at random lists or even irl friends lists.
Nichijou that low? I only watched a couple of episodes, but it looked promising. I also refuse to believe that anything with an OP as catchy as this can be all that bad.

Nichijou is at least a 9 in my book! 
You are pretty subtle with your game but we are onto you.

This, and Gintama's mash-up setting always keeps things at least a little visually interesting, whereas Nichibros' backgrounds are offensively bland.
Nichijou is a fairly controversial show around here; some of us love it (I would be in this category), while others hate it.
Fairy Tail 25:
Man, Elfman needs to be promoted to the main cast. I love this guy.
Juvia is also a lot more cute and eccentric than I remember from the manga. Her fight with Gray was actually also pretty tolerable, maybe even the best yet. Having opposing powers that play off of each other in interesting ways really makes up for the lame battle choreography.
Fairy Tail 26:
Natsu appearing at the decisive moment actually kind of felt good this time because of what an unmitigated asshole Gajeel is.
Didn't make up for
, though. FUCK YOU MASHIMA. Why be a shounen mangaka if you're constantly doing everything in your power to avoid fights that would require even slight amounts of creativity?
Also, I can finally begin fulfilling my promise to cajun:
cajun should just watch Fairy Tail, Juvia is much cuter in motion than in pictures.
Logia powers? Oda shamelessly steals from Fairy Tail yet again.

Yeah, that was bullshit. Mashima can't keep a consistent power scale down to save his life, which would normally make way for creative usages of powers, but not here.
Anyway, if you're kind of enjoying it now, I see no reason why you wouldn't begrudgingly end up liking the series in the end. Next arc should make or break it for you.
Edit: Also in regards to Gajeel, the anime actually made him a BIGGER asshole. He was never
kicking Lucy around while tied up
Here's some of mine of the top of my head
Pom poko 10/10
Hajime no ippo 10/10
Digimon movie 8/10
Angel egg 6/10
Summer wars 5/10
The Girl who leapt through Time 3.5/10(this has the worst last quarter/35mins I 've ever seen in a anime movie)
Tengen toppa gurren laggan 4/10
Evangelion 0/10

Ive watched that Natsu Gajeel fight so many times. Its so good, also the Gray Juvia one as well. Mashima always delivers the best fights for these two.
Juvia is tied with Levy McGarden/Ultear for my favorite female mage in the series.
Ha, we have the same scores though my Bleach one is for the manga instead of the anime.

It pretty much goes as Hosanna says in here (and in the internet, general where I've read.)
Well, sir. Some have good taste, such as yourself.

Naruto SD 8
First skit was kind of boring and dull. Second was a bit more enjoyable, again. Kabuto and Lord Orochimaru ought to be recurring characters as well as Naruto, however I hate the rules this anime uses for the Naruto universe, that it ruins it for me.
. I had a good hearty laugh in their scenes in that skit.
And next week the best team that's not team 7

Wise beyond your years, mah boy.
Man, I have no idea what I will give this (mentally) once I finish it.
It's like that family member with the something and then the something happens where you hate 'im, but y'all got some history and stuff...
That said, probably not above a 6 ish or 7.

Kind of low for Bleach. I gave it an 8, which seems to be the average. It did a great job adapting the source so much that I prefer it much more than the manga, not to mention they gave it two great filler arcs.
