Webm has a LOOONG way to go before it can dethrone the GIF. The latter is versatile, mobile/browser/forum friendly and it provides image quality without the need to upload an actual video up. Ease of capture is a plus too. Now there are some shitty GIFs out there, but you can easily make one with top notch quality if you want to.

Easily some of the best action animation this season. Todays episode should be great as well.

I love, love, LOVE how they used pencil sketch/doodle-like drawings, along with hand painting for the animation to show the raw power coming out of his 100% form. It's excellent.

Let me know if you'd want a pre-owned Japanese set and got $200 or whatever to spare. I'll be in Japan next week ;P
Isn't it the same as the French trailers that were released ages ago, just with Japanese text this time?
Yeah it has no dialogue, but maybe a different focus?
Oh yes. OPM had some sick action, but the tradeoff was comparably bland backgrounds whereas Mob Psycho looks great all the friggin time.
lolololololololololololololololololol

GIF is awful for image quality. Also, it ain't easy making a good, optimised GIF; that's why no one sane does it. It's actually far easier to upload it for a webm, which requires no editing apart from clipping out the bit you want.
GIFs are best for small animations, with a mostly static background (since you can take advantage of non deposited frame data to shrink the file size). Bonus if it loops well. They are awful for scenes.

oh yeah I especially love how the movement is so fluid even when they pan the scenes.
Let me just tell you that I don't care, it's getting on my list regardless.

If I had to give mob psycho 100 a slight wrinkle, it's that I feel there's too much animation sometimes.
Mob psycho 100 fights are, in terms of pacing and actions taken, still very similar to one punch man (overwhelming force that normally leads to an instant win) so a lot of the sweeping camera movements and bombastic effect animation feel like they're stretching out an otherwise simple action.

Well yes but then again, some people can't view webms. It isn't rare that you need a codec to get them running on your lappy, and they are most of time hit and miss on mobile (which is where most folks are these days). Webms are great since they can actually be of pretty high fidelity with a small size. But ultimately that doesn't matter when your iPad can't open them without something like PlayerXtreme.
Nah, 91 Days is giving it a serious run for its money.

Who's doing it this year then?
I appreciate the offer, but I haven't actually seen Yamato yet.
I hope you have fun on your trip though!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
This is the second time I've encountered people here advocating for lower production values in anime! Sheesh.
This season has been so good that I barely remember what aired earlier this year.
I'm thinking re:zero will probably take my AOTY. It's not the most original or even most well produced show, but it's the one who was consistently good and kept surprising me every episode, even the build-up ones.

I'll do it then, mwuhahahaha; time to kill those puppet dreams.
Not if Duckroll has anything to say about it.

I'm thinking something along those same lines. Although there is still the Fall to go.

Battle IN SPAAAACE! Would be cool if the fight was actually good, which it wasn't. And of course the Linkle Stones are already worthless, though it was neat of Rabu to crush the teleport portal. Odd lack of music in some places, though it might've been because this was in space. Otherwise nice despair episode. Riko and Kotoha aren't past their issues yet, but that won't stop them. New Miracle and Magical forms are sweet. Felice is eh. New attack is okay. Never cared for Rabu. And some more trippy stuff happening. I approve. It's magic. There should be weird stuff happening.

Yeah, Haikyuu's gonna be glorious.
this post went so goddamn fast after mine (it popped together with mine when the page loaded) that I'm not sure if you're talking to me, lol
My current top 3 are (order of JoJo and Mob Psycho is debatable)
JoJo
Mob Psycho
Re:Zero
While I like Re:Zero a lot, it also has parts I don't like all that much, but am willing to handwave away because of the rest, whereas there isn't a single bad thing I can say about the other 2.
Contenders for the other spots are
Kiznaiver
Thunderbolt Fantasy
Kuromukuro
My Hero Academia
Konosuba
Oh no, sorry. That was supposed to be to Copper and Mob Psycho.
Clearly I just woke up. Honestly, I didn't notice your post, haha

I knew only about the light-novel and manga adaptation, what's the web novel? It goes further?
Getting close. I'm very excited for it.

That's my take on the final scenes of the series,
she's back to being the fluff on the Tengu's arm for him to lech over. She goes from being one of the most powerful people in Kyoto to one of the most powerless and I find it hard to see that in a positive light. The show makes a point of explaining that she was literally kidnapped solely because the Tengu saw and fancied her while she was walking along beside a lake as a young girl. Beyond Stockholm Syndrome I'm struggling to think of a reason why she should think well of the tengu and having established an independent life for herself why she would return. At the New Year's temple visit we see that she is now wearing a yukata as oposed to her former western style clothing and acting completely differently than before, her clever retorts and word play are replaced by placating the tengu and a wish to meet a man.
The show is trying to play it as a 'prodigal son returns' style reunion but never establishes a basis for her seeing him as a parental figure at all. To my mind the show set up her choosing to cook the tanooki patriarch as being at least in part for his refusal to help her escape the tengu's clutches when she was younger.

Damn, the new PV for Kizu 2 is fantastic.

The TV anime year 2016 maybe failed to deliver many remarkable anime but the anime movies this year are fantastic.

I dunno, I haven't seen the French trailer!
Yes, the web novel is much farther. It is currently in arc 6 while the light novel is wrapping up on...yup...arc 3. (lol) However, while the overall plot of the web novel is pretty much the same as the light novel (I could be wrong) many people don't treat the web novel as 'canon' since many details get changed in the light novel and this is being done by the original author.

Mob Psycho 109
Another good episode. Not as relentlessly high octane as the last, but it didn't need to be to remain a fantastic production.
That Kiss-Shot growing up scene. Shinbou...
And I disagree, there have been a lot of great 2016 TV Anime. I think I have three 10/10 series this year when I had none last year.

Really? I have a 10/10 from last year and nothing this year.
I have seen pretty everything pretty much everything I want to see from both years minus a few very long series I'm not into (at least not yet).
I don't have any 10/10 for 2016 yet, anime was a mistake.
Mob Psycho 109
It had its moments, but the action was much more short than the previous episode. Still, it looked wonderful and it was highly enjoyable, while it maintains it's really good animation even for random scenes. Also, I love the voice they decided to give to Claw's 7th division leader.

What is your 10/10 from 2015?
That has been said for the last 3 seasons, it's always the next season that will surely deliver .
