ReLIFE was one of the better shows I've seen this year, nice to see it make it on someone's list. Ought to watch some of these in preparation of AotY.

subtitle in progress
im sure someone will get antsy and make the new thread before i do
So it's just like watching anime in general.

It's only pointless if you don't like watching anime.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Kiznaiver would make my top 10, maybe even 5. I just enjoyed it quite a bit.

It'd be a rule to make it easier, but at the same time I feel it's unfair if the show runners and materials is particularly great to not consider it for a spot.

His/her dates must feel weak in the knees when they see the mansion from outside. Then they see what's in it...

I stand in awe of weeb with money who also likes things to look classy.
Doubt they care so long as they're paid in the end.

Thundebolt was already singled out as AOTY by Oshii and Ikuhara. Who are we to argue ?
I don't think I wrote anywhere that he did.
As far as Mob goes, to an extent to which certain traits are takes sure but having social issues, dislike of violence or having inner super power you're afraid of are all fairly basic and common building blocs of shounen protagonists. Which I guess is another part of my complaints against the show, there's nothing interesting about most of its shouneny parts unless you want to pretend those works don't have character development, interesting characters or intrigue.
I'd say it does and I'm not sure I'd call being paralyzed, incapable of decision as winning. Ive no clue, if this is something something that the show acknowledges and continues on with later, going by that "coward" I'd say probably but even in this final episode violence/fighting wins. Reigen's words would have meant nothing without the violence propping them. Mob is just allowed to skirt the issue by dumping it on others through through a set of wholly nonsensical writing decisions: 1. what I long to call an asspull but since the laws of powers are so vague to the point of being nonexistent, I'll settle just for silly plot device aka Reigen's power up. 2. Making a mockery of the hitherto antagonists. 3. That one's kid decision to just dissolve his own organisation. (villains are always awful at man management huh)

I have solved the mystery of Cold Steel. This game was made because someone at Falcom was determined to reimagine the school festival subplot in Trails in the Sky FC as an epic climax for a 70+ hour RPG instead. Everything else in this game doesn't matter, it was all written as filler to foreshadow and lead into the final chapter. Lol.

And just when you think your done after all those dates.....
you go on more dates... so anime
That's why I don't have a solid list yet, just a handful of stand-outs that impressed me. Fall is looking great, so it's likely any list I could make at this point would change considerably.
Friendly reminder that anime we all know and hate is getting, once and for all, irrevocably, like never before in your life, and like never after, it's getting completely and utterly saved. In just about 40 hours.

Are you that excited for the Student Council President's comeback?

This show should have sudoku'd after the eraser song episode which is the one time it manages to transcend dumb and become somewhat funny for an extended period of time. I'm not sure why I watched it to completion, probably because I'm dumb idiot but please do not repeat my mistake.

Heh, reminds me how I, for no good reason, watched all of Danganronpa (S1) even though it had evidently little going for it. Think I was playing some Pokemon fangame at the same time and I wanted something to watch on the side. Still, can't recommend it.

Gotta admit, I don't think that much about anime of the year rankings.
I can't even remember what took anime of the year last year.

Binbougami ga! 01
A friend recommended that to me and I had that on my radar for years now but never really bothered watching it. He showed me the Death Note parody, since I am past that part now and my god, that was great. The first episode was okay, but I get some serious Gintama vibes at times, with this switch between seriousness and wackiness. And all those parodies of course. Will continue with this.

But why do you not want other people to watch a good show?
It's set up for the second game.
Literally every major NPC is relevant in some way going forward.
I love the episode with the whale. It was pretty cool when they were exploring on it.
The coolest thing about that episode is the fact that Kenny, Akane's cat, is a professional anthropologist expertising on whale civilizations.

Mob Psycho 100 - 12
Yeah the finale was excellent. Strong hints for a second season 2, which makes me happy. I actually don't believe 91 Days will manage to trump over this show, but I'll still wait before I give it the AOTS medal.
