Yeah. I like a few shows that didn't make the top ten in the previous years, so it would help to point out some of the outliers.

You never see 3s in anime, do you? That seems to be Tiny Toons territory.

At first I thought it was Wakamoto and I was like that's cool!
I guess it's Sugita doing his best Wakamoto impression again.
Someone there is watching Tokyo Encounter!

You know, Miyazaki's senility would probably be sadder if I didn't have Hosoda to look up to. I'd argue he's even a better director than Miyazaki ever was.
Uta no Prince-sama Maji Love 2000% 10
SUGITA HAS TRANSCENDED GREATNESS AND HAS BECOME A RIVAL WORTHY OF WAKAMOTO!
Fuuuck I need this.
Let's not go too crazy yet. Miyazaki still made some amazing films.
Isao Takahata will always be better than Miyazaki in my eyes
Instead of a staircase, it's like a bell curve of revulsion!
Wolf Children is nearly up there, but no.
A bunch of anime is in the 3-3.5 range, like Night on the Galactic Railroad (which people should watch) and various kids shows. 2 isn't as common from what I can tell, although Hosoda is working on that.
I'd be interested in seeing people's choices for these, just to see what people look for in regards to animation and storyboarding.

Definitely. Might be just a taste thing then! Who knows, maybe once the high from the film wears off I'll start hating Hosoda again for the CGI trucks.
If that's the case then anime fans are a 7.

As I said, the people who wrongly thought, through their own desires of what the show would be that has little relation to what it actually was, were proven wrong by S2, not that I ever had doubt that you (people) would be; the basic concept and first episode made that clear enough.
As I said I wish that it hadn't gone through with what I expected, but saying that actually the first half wasn't like that... sorry, it was. It may have been slightly more subtle about it, but incest is why the franchise exists. Period.
If you mean that you might expect more yuri from just looking at that title than you get in the actual show... well, that's true. However, watching the actual show (even just the first episode), it makes it quite clear that that isn't the kind of show it's going to be. Oreimo wasn't like that at all, ep. 1 set up the themes that the series would return to.
(Oh, and the worst, and stupidest, thing about Yuru Yuri by far is Akari's stupidly incest-centric older sister. Seriously, why did you HAVE to have that character type?
)

Sket Dance 19:
Hilarious. Himeko and Switch's stuff during the hair cutting scene was hilarious, especially with Himeko pretending to go through all the typical questions they ask you. The Student Council half of the episode was just laugh out loud hilarious from start to finish. Probably the most I've ever laughed at a Sket Dance episode. It was amazing seeing how they just kept making things worse. Especially when
I don't know about that. Miyazaki put out some amazing films in the 80s and 90s. It's possible Hosoda could reach that level eventually, but we shouldn't forget how good Miyazaki was prior to recent years.

1, 2, 4, and 5 are fine, but there's just something about 3 that I can't handle.

The skirt brings attention to the fact that she's topless.
Slayers NEXT 13
So, out of curiosity, which is the more powerful spell in Slayers? Giga Slave, or Ragna Blade? Either way Lina is ridiculously OP at this point, and everyone seems to overlook that Shabranigdo got nixed by her. I mean, why would a Demon Dragon King be desperately trying to kill a girl who, you know, KILLED someone as powerful as his boss? Lina apparently has spells that summon the power of some kind of High Old God or something, so gee guys, can't you spell this out?
Also in this episode: Gourry asks Lina to consider his feelings! Amelia, voicing the voice of a thousand unheard shippers, is quick to squeal with glee over the entire thing.

Kind of makes me wonder how Melancholy of Haruhi would work when she was like 4. Absurd shit would just happen all the time and no one would know why.
Still, better trapped in a loop story than endless eight, not that that's hard.
Can't decide how I feel about it compared to Tatami Galaxy, the other anime trapped in an apartment complex.

Watch The Garden of Words.
That's probably it. Also, those proportions make her look like a Sonic character.

I was so sad to learn that a Hosoda version of Howl's moving castle could've happened. I'd love to live in a world where both versions existed so that we could directly compare the two.
What's wrong with that? At least it would be a Sonic character that doesn't suck.
It reminds people of his friends. And that's nooooooo good.
Someone in the other thread revealed what Attack on Titan is going to look like by episode 25: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=zYfy-pR5OBs
Sonic needs new friends.

Having more new friends is quite possibly the very last thing Sonic needs right now. Not unless he packs his bags and moves to a new neighborhood.
ZZ Gundam 31
In case you didn't think Neo Zeon was full of scum, they basically decide to start massacring a defenseless town during the time when most of its inhabitants are praying to Mecca. In case you didn't think Glemy Toto was a scumbag, he's still alive.
And in case you didn't think Roux Louka was best girl, well, think again.
Really digging the jazz music in the background in this episode. I don't dig the lesser remixes of Zeta Gundam songs, though.
uhh.. I'm as big a Hosoda fan as you can find around here.
The answer is still nope.
That's what I mean. Ditch stoners like Big and find a better scene.
Well, i'm glad to see it will have movement!

Holy shit, I wasn't expecting a Green focused episode to be this good. Especially when it's a training episode. If all "got to get stronger" moments in anime were handled like this, I'd have no complaints! The jokes were hilarious - especially Io's constant belittling of Midori, which showed a hitherto unexplored facet of his character, and everything Ruby did (Burning Ruby is back!) - and the timing was superb. Moreover, the animation was above average, and the fight between Midori and Io had some really nice action/effects cuts.
You'd think after 30 episodes I would stop being surprised by this show, but nope. Studio Comet did some fine work.
Everything is better with tails.

Look at that layout!
