I'm ok with this.
Soukou no Strain 05-07
The Reasoners are a lot more reasonable and likable than the basic cadets. That scene with Sara taking all that bullying was difficult to watch. It's at this point I realize exactly why A Little Princess may have resonated with Japanese cultural values so much. Now that the story has given Sara something of a circle of friends, I'm enjoying it a little more. I do have to highly question Lavinia's methods, though. She has massive yuri love going on, but tries to force Sara to fall in love with her by doing things that aren't that different from the bullying she was enduring before. You're not helping.

i am but only for specific shows that i can't wait for them to be translated.
highschool dxd , no game no life, campione
Usually i often wait for other people to translate the others show i follow ( mahouka , index , mushoku tensei , sword art online , accel world , oda nobuna and the list goes on ) because finding the japanese raws is a pain sometimes.

It will certainly do well, I imagine, although at this point Space Dandy seems like it has a guaranteed place at number 1 based on exposure alone but, as always, it's too early to talk about this kind of thing. Yamato 2199 literally came out of nowhere last year to sweep into first place, after all.
rightfully so.

Parasyte is still this year. Tokyo Ghoul let me down but I still have faith.
I'm still adamant that we need a minimum though, otherwise it becomes most mainstream anime of the year.

I thought we had the "Minimum two shows" last year.

Aldnoah Zero will be AOTY
Either that or Nozaki Kun

I have hope for Ping Pong.
Mikakunin would definitely be in my top 3
Show surprised me. Did not expect it to be good
ooh I am finally going to get on someone's ignore list
and I may be part of a reason someone disowns a community
either way at this time No Game No Life is my AOTY, the fall season will perhaps change that though.
as for AOTS Nozaki-kun has a small lead over Akami ga kill right now with Terror and Aldnoah fighting it out for biggest disappointments of the season ><
I think Terror is going to win that one for me.

This is just like NGNL for me before it aired.
I really want this turn out to be good.

Here's my (rough) rankings so far.
I want to fill out the last two spots with something, but other show's I've watched this year (Captain Earth and Pupa) don't belong up there. Maybe I'd throw Captain Earth at the bottom in a pinch/whim, but otherwise I hope to get a a couple better shows than that tacked on.
Haven't seen any movies/OVAs other than the Mushi-shi OVA.
Awww yeah. This was a good show, although Kobeni and Hakuya are total sticks in the mud and totally outshined by the rest of the cast. It also feels like it really goes nowhere when it really should go somewhere. I'd watch a second season though.
I haven't seen Kino's Journey, but to me Mushi-shi was like a more tranquil, nature-focused Dr. Who, actually. It might not be your taste, and that's fine. I find Mushi-shi to be enjoyable but it's a slower, calmer, chilled-out ride.
Jesus, that's some serious reworking.
Ha! Jokes on you I'm already dead!
...I'm almost assuredly going to watch the third season when it inevitably arrives...
- Space Dandy
- Mushi-shi Zoku Shou
- Pupipo!
- Terror in Resonance
- One Week Friends
- Tonari no Seki-kun
- Engaged to the Unidentified
- Sakura Trick

Engaged to the Unidentified 01
Kobeni just turned 16 and already got an arranged marriage waiting, eh?
And both the fiancé and his little sister moves in as well. Doesn't help that Kobeni's older sister seems to be a pervert who likes younger girls either

NGNL will most likely be my #1 when I get around to finishing it.
Come at me.
Come at me.
Nah, MAL would argue that Supēsu ☆ Dandi is not a Japanese name since it uses roman letters.
team Twintails
That means I only have three and a bit months to get everyone to watch Momo Kyun Sword which was the original intention of my first post.
Watch Momo Kyun Sword.

Free! Eternal Summer Episode 12
Best Free! episode of both seasons, was just what I expected and even more.
.
Lori and Russel are great too and all their lines to make Rin have so many expressions and admitting things.
Also seemed like tones of great moments they gave for people to make fanbooks of, like the hotel bedsharing moment.

and Rin helping to pull Haru up from where he was and all those exclamations of love and everything it was perfect

I don't like it when people like things I don't like (in regards to NGNL).

Since when did NGNL get a following here!? The show with the bro and sis playing videogames and filled with fanservice.
lol robbed.
Yamato deserved every single vote.

Can we also have a category for worst show of the year, or would that be frowned upon? I think it would be interesting to see what people see as what was especially egregious this year and why, but I could see that getting too mean spirited possibly.

Should keep it a celebration of the positive over the negative, I think.
NGNL was very enjoyable but I don't think it's AOTY material.
My immediate pick right now is Nozaki-kun but I have a list of shows from previous seasons to marathon, Space Dandy being the most prominent of those.
As long as Madoka Rebellion rightly wins MOTY I'll be okay with whatever result!

I dunno, rankings look rough for me.
#1. Ping Pong
#2. Space Dandy
#3. Gundam Build Fighters*
#4. Samurai Flamenco*
#5. Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun
#6. Barakamon
#7. Log Horizon*
That's about all I've figured out. Obviously by fall this will have switched around a bit, or a lot.
And the starred ones are a bit tricky because they started last year, but finished this year. I'd still say that if you only took their second halves they were still enjoyable and didn't shit the bed or anything
Also I dunno where to put PuPiPo, if there's a shorts category I guess it'll be #1 there.
And as for JoJo it's technically not over but eh whatever. I'll find a spot on the list somewhere for it. I already know what happens anyway and have faith in DP by now.

I didn't realize this year was that bad. Also it would have to be AOTY for 2015 since it's more than one cour. Edit: Never mind, I forgot how the rules worked.
YOUR TURN SIS
Nah, if it aired this year it's eligible, whether it's complete or not. See: From the New World.
