It will probably make top 5, but it seems to be less unanimously loved than Hyouka was. Since some people are divided on the ending, I don't expect it to be at #1 on everyone's list.
What if Wolf Children hit US theater widely?

Aku no Hana / Flowers of Evil 8
Wow. This series extremely heavy. This is one of the few anime that I have watched where I can truly feel the tension of the main character.
I also love the symbolism of the characters. My interpretation is that
Another theme is the concept of "masks" that each person wears to hide their true personality. I'll write about that another time.

Nakamura-san is symbolized as somewhat of a devil, who has nothing but evil intentions and forces Takao to do despicable things by blackmailing him. She also tempts Takao to think perverse thoughts, which may be part of his true subconscious. Explicitly symbolized in the actual anime as an angel, Nanoko is the polar opposite of Nakamura-san. She has nothing but innocent and positive feelings, though that could just be her mask that she wears. Nakamura's plan is to sabotage Takao's eternal bliss with Nanoko, much like the devil would tempt you away from heaven.

Holy shit hype!! Can't believe this is an original movie. So Gintoki is in the future?

That's impossible to say at this point. Certainly a year ago this time no one would have expected Hyouka to emerge a clear favorite. If there is a show that's able to build a widespread body of support here, it'll probably be something airing in the fall.
(I don't think Titan will do as well as some people assume, though, especially with the production situation the way it is.)

It is definitely too early to know. Though I'm not sure how much production difficulties will hurt it considering Jojo's example last year.
And I realized I never posted my hummingbird profile. It's here.

I doubt AoT have as much fandom following, like ducky said its closer to SAO than jojo.
'Sup guys, although I haven't been posting much lately I still felt the need to make a Hummingbird account so I don't feel completely left out, I am following the thread all the time, just don't have much time to watch stuff lately, which should change soon.
I followed a bunch of you, feel free to follow back, also, those I missed so I can follow them too:

Uta no prince sama Maji Love 2000% Episode 9 (utapri)
Pretty phenomenal episode they even (CR) got the lyrics finally to Maji Love 2000% (ai wa shooting star!). Nanami's performance of the song except in her piano arrangement (just like in Season 1) was definitely one of the best moments for her character so far. She is really good as composer.
Am quite hyped for HEAVENS. They should be a good group I bet and hopefully have a performance just as good as Quartet Night's Poison Kiss.
Kind of terrible if all three of these songs are bonus cd exclusives...

As well deserved as that would be, I doubt GKids will be able to pull that off.
Max excite!
Jojo wasn't rushed; it just had a low budget. With Titan, I'm expecting that it won't be too long before they have to resort to multiple recaps and possibly indefinitely postponing the final episodes.

If it does get that bad, than yeah, you're probably right. I hope it doesn't come to that though.

To anyone who cares about the lack of US Blu-rays from Kadokawa, the Blu-ray of Heaven's Lost Property: Forte just arrived today and a whole month early! I have yet to open the actual case, in for whatever reason Kadokawa forced FUNi to reduce the Blu-ray quality and I need to return it, but here's what I can tell you.
The packaging is a standard Blu-ray case with a Blu-ray sided O-card. No artbox, no new cover art, and no new extras. I would not expect any new reversible art compared to the LE DVD release, but that may actually be the one new thing available other than the FUNi series trailers.
The release does state 1080p video with 5.1 English and 2.0 Japanese. You will have to ask someone else or look for another review to see if subtitles are locked as there is no indication on the package. Really hoping this Blu-ray was worth double-dipping for in the end.

Holy crap with all this MAL and Hummingbird stuff. Am I the only one who just uses ANN's 'My Anime' tool, cause I'm starting to feel like that one kid in school who liked Digimon when everyone else was into Pokemon.

Poyopoyo is actually pretty good, for a three minute anime where the primary objective is cute.

Join the fancy list revolution.
Yeah I don't really list my hentai or rewatches either with some exceptions.
Tatami Galaxy is excellent and the best of 2010, give it a watch.
The cool kids don't use anything at all.

Your tastes are unusually focused with criteria that do not match what most people use to evaluate if something is good so conventional prediction models would prove ineffective.
TL;DR: Sure watch them and post the results here

Agreed. Clannad After Story is what you get when somebody at the office says:
"Hey! You think we could actually EXPAND on the relationship of these two other than high school? Let's get them out of that place!"
Well to be fair, it's how it went in the Visual Novel IIRC so I guess they just adapted from that.
Seriously, I barely see any anime where the main character is already in a relationship. It's always him finding true love. I'd rather see true love already in action rather than someone looking for it at this point. And boy did After Story do it right.
Is there any other anime where the young main character is already in a relationship and the series just expands on that? THAT's the kind of slice of life I want to see.
How I pity your type and their lack of an insatiable need to catalog and quantify every last detail of their hobby.
I used to use ANN until I ran into their horrible database management. They refuse to add titles I've seen.

My enjoyment of anime would be lessened if I didn't get to see bars go up by watching it. Hummingbird doesn't have any malgraph style data, it's a shame.

Disappointment of the year so far for me. It was hyped like it was going to be the next GiTS. Didn't even bother finishing it.

Patlabor TV 1
Perhaps the main feature of the Patlabor franchise that separates it from other mecha series is its mundanity. The TV show drives that home, since it starts with Section 2 containing and arresting a drunk driver (albeit not doing the greatest job of containing). I like this treatment of mecha as just big vehicles, as opposed to amazing crazy superpowered weapons. It keeps things on a more human, approachable scale.
Speaking of humans, this episode served as a good (re)introduction to the central cast. Despite this being a different continuity from the OVA/movies, their personalities are still the same. (I wonder, will they ever show the actual pilots of Section 1?) I really liked how the scenario was designed to show off Noa's enthusiasm, affection, and aptitude for Patlabors. Having her get accidentally mixed up in the already formed Section 2 makes for a stronger character introduction than just dropping everyone off all at once like the OVA did. While Yamazaki and Shinshi got shafted as always, Asuma, Ohta, Shinobu, and especially Goto, whose laid-back nature steals the show, got their chance to shine as well.
The production values have taken a substantial hit from the OVA, as is to be expected, and these character designs will take some getting used to. The downgrade from the OVA OP to the TV OP is even more painful. But I think the scenario and character work, which should be explored in a way the OVA didn't do much of, will make up for that.

Well that's fanmade, if this becoming hit there's one eventually.
TBH I'm happy enough if this can made MAL revisit their policy.
Maybe this like IF PS4 have no Xbone's DRM.
I've never gotten into the "catalog all the anime I watch" thing either. Not my style. Once I've watched something, it's good to just let the emotions from watching it sink in, not immediately run to mark a checkbox on a list.
I actually prefer the TV design.
I need finish the OVAs.
Thing actually help.
