Accel World might be the less dumb show this week.


btw: spoiler tags... but can I expect beach eps from SAO? Just cause?

So how did we end up going from people getting their faces chewed off to beach hijinks? I mean I know this was based off an ero VN but come on. Those first two episodes were entirely misleading. I mean there seriously feels like a strong disconnect.

I was wondering the same thing, but totally forgot to ask. This question needs answered!

They have to be building us up just to tear us back down. Get attached to the characters at your own peril.

Don't hurt Chobi pls ;_;

Nah, if anything the fans are in the minority here.

Silent majority.

Do you really have to ask? Are you aware of what thread you're in?

This is anime.

I know he said those things for her own good, but her sad face just killed me.

 

[madp]

Yeah, E7 is much more heavily favored by more casual/mainstream anime fans than extremely serious fans. A while back I actually compiled my own list of AnimeGAF's top ten anime of 2011 by going through the old voting thread and only counting the votes of people who participate here as an experiment to see if our opinions differed wildly from that of the GAF anime-watching community at large, I should try to find the results. They're pretty interesting.

Just quoting myself because I found the two pairs of results.

NeoGAF AotY 2011:

1 Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica 495
2 Usagi Drop 475
3 Mawaru Penguindrum 452
4 Steins;Gate 394
5 Fate/Zero S1 260
6 Hourou Musuko 253
7 Redline 216
8 Hanasaku Iroha 195
9 Working'!! 154
10 Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Boku-tachi wa Mada Shiranai. 141

AnimeGAF AotY 2011:

1 Mawaru Penguindrum 243
2 Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica 242
3 Usagi Drop 222
4 Steins;Gate 185
5 Hourou Musuko 163
6 Fate/Zero S1 146
7 Hanasaku Iroha 123
8 The Idolm@ster 92
9 Working'!! 87
10 Redline 85

And special mention of #11 Chihayafuru at 81 votes due to some Idolm@ster ten-point votes of dubious sincerity.

Amazingly 9/10 are still in the top ten even though only ~50% of the voters were AnimeGAF participants. In general, the only thing that changed were the individual series rankings within the top ten.

 

[Narag]

But...but why ;-;

I hope she just goes back to Cake Planet.

I know it's coming and it's going to hurt when it does.

You know for as much as I dislike those opening episodes, they've certainly given me some anxiety over the current cast.

 

[Dresden]

Wandering son didn't win animugaf aoty either, so meh.

 

[chickdigger802]

there are separate neogaf and animegaf aoty's??

 

[madp]

there are separate neogaf and animegaf aoty's??

No, I weeded out votes from non-animegaffers in the second set of results just to see how different they'd be.

 

[wonzo]

Should have ended with that first arc.

it should have ended as nothing more than a brainfart in pre-production and yet here we are

Glass Fleet 12

It's ok though because that's not the series' strong point. Vetti fuckin' Sforza and his limitless swag is.

NA
KA
MA

 

[Branduil]

Hyouka 16

Houtarou seems a bit slow this time, I figured it out before him. A bit slower than the previous episodes, but some nice character interaction. Also, KyoAni should release that manga for real.

 

[jman2050]

dat demon face.

 

[Branduil]

Hyouka 16

Outstanding. Simply outstanding.

You just have a fetish for girls who never reveal the top half of their face.

Tari Tari 6

The Wheel of Fate is Turning.

lol, I thought that was just a thing with his avatar and not the show itself.

 

[kayos90]

If only. Somehow I think that they're never going to show her face.

 

[dakkumauji]

Tari Tari 06

Not so much emotions, still a nice conclusion. I see potential drama for the other characters, but nice for everyone to finally get together, maybe.

 

[firehawk12]

Resolved in two episodes, piano was never sold! All is well.

What is the worst show, even the harem crap isn't that bad lol.

Yeah, the piano thing was a major copout. I mean, I saw it coming a mile away, but it was still a copout. lol

I want to say the worst show is Sword Art Online, but it's not even good at being bad anymore. All the other shitty battle/harem shows have blended together unfortunately.

You just have a fetish for girls who never reveal the top half of their face.

She's so awesome, even the animators are under her spell.

 

[Instro]

Hyouka 16

That adult conversation. So what was Chitanda talking about while Oreki was ignoring her anyway? Lack of of translation .

Spoiler

I hope Satoshi turns villain before this is over, look at all that jealousy. It must suck to be stuck with Mayaka as your pairing.

 

[dimb]

Wandering son didn't win animugaf aoty either, so meh.

This is good right?

 

[Jarmel]

Amazingly 9/10 are still in the top ten even though only ~50% of the voters were AnimeGAF participants. In general, the only thing that changed were the individual series rankings within the top ten.

That's actually interesting. I guess people's opinions in general don't differ that much from the hardcore but then again, last year had some really easy picks.

 

[Branduil]

Both only get hate because they're successful

Seeing the internet retroactively hate on Cameron's masterpieces like Aliens and T2 because they joined the Avatar hate bandwagon is more amusing than KyoAni detractors can manage though.

Alien and Terminator are both better than their sequels, though.

Of course, but Aliens is still a masterpiece.

Eh, it's a flawed masterpiece at best. Of course it's much better than some of his later films.

 

[kayos90]

Fate/Zero is on that list. I'm satisfied.

 

[Thoraxes]

Ben-to

 

[Jex]

Personally, I think that's an unfair oversimplification.

Well I'm certainly simplifying but I don't think I am being too unfair. I liked the series quite a bit and watched it all the way through but it's very repetitive on a thematic level.

They killed her, didn't they. lol

Weren't they just talking about what she would do on the radio?

Idom@ster being in the top 10 for AnimeGAF is why I'm here.

Well yeah but I don't know what exactly was said!

 

[Uchip]

Alien and Terminator are both better than their sequels, though.

at the time of their release, sure
I feel that the sequels are greater in most aspects, despite recycling the same premise

 

[Jex]

Weren't they just talking about what she would do on the radio?

Right, it wasn't anything important.

 

[Soma]

Is Irisu in the new Hyouka episode?

The newest one? Sadly no.

It's still good though!

This good show is good because it's good and KyoAni are good at that.

In more series matters, I hope this festival never ends.

Terminator 1 is better because we don't have to watch Ahnold and that kid try to act together.

What if the next arc is a different festival?

More loli? Goddamn it.

Don't pretend that you're against it.

Well yeah but I don't know what exactly was said!

Wait... don't tell me... YOU'RE CURIOUS.

 

[Jex]

Boku wa H ga Dekinai - 03

Why are you going to design a character like that and

Spoiler

not give her a whip as her weapon? What the hell!

I thought you were going to say "why are you going to design a character like that, she looks awful". You've let me down.

 

[madp]

Well I'm certainly simplifying but I don't think I am being too unfair. I liked the series quite a bit and watched it all the way through but it's very repetitive on a thematic level.

Just curious: do you believe that something can strictly follow a formula without being formulaic per se? I find that I have a very high tolerance for works that are entirely episodic in nature compared to many here, and I'm interested in what others would point to if asked for an example of an episodic or very formula-driven show that actually works. I fully accept that Casshern Sins addresses the same theme each episode, but the individual vignettes were by no means similar enough to each other as to be rehashed or redundant.

They killed her, didn't they. lol

RIP Chapatsu, your buxom chest and torso clad in lovely green-and-white seifuku will be missed. Can't really comment on the face.

 

[Uchip]

Terminator 1 is better because we don't have to watch Ahnold and that kid try to act together.

Ahnold gave the movie soul, or rather an awkward comic relief
whether that was a + or a - is entirely subjective

 

[biosnake20]

The newest one? Sadly no.

It's still good though!

No Irisu?

 

[Jex]

Why so perverted AnimeGAF?

We are not a single entity. We are made up of many individual voices and opinions.

I think this is the second or third time you have said this to me. I still don't buy it.

Wait... don't tell me... YOU'RE CURIOUS.

NOW I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT WHY YOU JUST RUINED MY SETUP?!
