Rubber suit monsters are passés, it's all about bouncing tits now.
I think Funi announced they had it and would be doing a cinema run during AX, but could be wrong.

You can rate shows before they even air on MAL so...

There's a low quality illegal version that people are probably watching.

There is low quality torrent versions available.
MAL uses Japanse titles because it caters directly to the Japanese audience. Only people deeply ingrained in the culture can use MAL.
Yea I just checked, there's a Chinese-English version in 480p floating around.
lol at Funimation bragging about Your Name's ranking on MAL now
This image comes in handy again:
This is the best thing I've seen. Shit's perfect, haha

im giving kizu parts 2 and 3 a 10 right now

What if it's actually a better film than Kizu?
Kizu has the problem of having three different movies. If we count them separately, movies like Girls und Panzer or Kimi no na wa, can definitely rank higher. Koe No Katachi too, but I'm not sure if there are enough English screenings by then.
Rate it 10 for teary Kiss-Shot visual for Reiketsu-hen.

Your Name isn't. If we're using Mal metrics, Your Name was a 6 and Kizu Part 1 was a 9
That's what I was thinking, would they be counted separately or as one? Kizu is good but it also kinda ends just as it begins, and it's really just a set-up for the following films so if it's counted separately I personally wouldn't place it above Anthem of the Heart, or GuP. And if Your Name is good then most likely below that and all.
Edit: Just checked and Anthem is 2015? Scratch that one then.

It had a BD release in 2016, so it should be eligible for voting I think?

2016 is the only year it'd be eligible.

I'd hope the people interested in the title would avoid watching this kind of visual treat in that form :/

Ok, trying to catch up on sports anime series until Haikyuu S3 arrives.
I prefer the (generally) more grounded stuff like Oofuri or Haikyuu than the more..."exaggerated" stuff like in Kuroko or Prince of Tennis.
I'm going with Yowamushi Pedal or Baby Steps next...I'm assuming Yowamushi isn't what I'm looking for? How "bad" does that one get with the overpowered stuff?

Sweet, this year has been a really good one for movies.
Yowamushi is not really super outlandish when it comes to what the bikers can do. Baby Steps is kind of the same, but the self-seriousness of Baby Steps creates a huge dissonance for me because it has almost no regard for how the sport works. Yowamushi is more just wild with its characterizations rather than how it presents the sport, but that gives it a unique flavor.

Well, last year the AotY voting didn't have any physical release rule like in 2014 and 2013 for some reason.
I swear, this past Finals I was imagining both teams playing like in Kuroko, even more so in Game 7 where it was deadlocked at 89 for 5 straight minutes in the 4th, lol

Yowamushi doesn't quite get to the level of superpowers that something like Kuroko does, but it steadily moves from something moderately grounded to really crazy stuff. Once you get to the Interhigh in Yowamushi, the series leans really hard into the gimmicks of each character, which effectively reaches the realm of the physically impossible. It also drags out the pacing something fierce, which is especially problematic in a sport where everyone is ostensibly moving forward really fast all the time.

I'd recommend Chihayafuru. 'Karuta' might not be your typical sports but I got actually quite curious about it and the competitiveness is there.

I would count all three Kizu parts as one work. I like to think of these series of sub-hour films as theatrically distributed OVA series - other examples would include Gundam Unicorn and Ghost in the Shell Arise. With Kizumonogatari it's especially obvious that it's meant as a single work, since there's not even an attempt to provide any satisfactory narrative stopping point at the end of individual films.
Chihayafuru is certainly grounded, even if I don't think it's that great at the sports aspect.

Well, I was able to get through all of the various Saki series. But then again, I like riichi mahjong, even if I'm still not great at playing it!
I don't know that much about karuta, and the little I do know (playing Hanafuda) I've long since forgotten.

Sports anime/manga are only as good as how slow they can possibly move, thus making Akagi the best.
Mahjong is a sport.

Surprised there hasn't been a good golf based one.
Would also love to see one based on poker, but that's never happening unless a Japanese player hits it big in the WSOP or something and inspires a manga artist to get obsessed with the game.

Fairy Tale ep.53
Looks like Happy foubd love at first sight! It's a shame she's a tsundere kitty though, lol. The crew got completely rekt by the dark wizards crew wgen they tried to hunt them down.... pretty badly too... Looks like this arc will be about the new girl Wendy as she appears to have ties with the bad crew.
I think you mean All Out!! or ALL OUT!!
The Eyeshield 21 anime wasn't as amazing as the manga. Although it suffered from continuing on longer than it should have.
I have no idea what to expect. Manga is 8 volumes and it ran in a monthly seinen magazine I never heard of.

Orange ep.11
Dammit Naho, how can you screw it up that badly when you know what's going to happen. You keep freezing under pressure! Go home with him, so he's not alone!

I'd sacrifice all of you to the God Hand to see Koe no Katachi in theaters.

Just exchange passes with a friend. It will last you a while.My crunchy roll sub expired
Wish you got a warning so I could plan my finances a bit better
Have golf be about Rory McIlroy or something.
Poker just sounds like another gambling one with perfect RNG just to move the plotline along.

Yeah, considering golf is a popular sport, you think there will be anime adaptation of it.
I read a manga about poker before, forgot the title, but i remember there's a player that can hypnotize his opponent, and a man who can read ripple vibration in a glass of water to determine if the opponent bluffing or not.
Then there's other player who can see other player eye reflection to see his cards
Edit: oh right, manga title is 'Poker King'
