Monogatari isn't in top 10 because of this:
Most people wrote off the series then. The only people left were degenerates like me.

You guys really should get over the dolls aspect and watch it.
Every time I think about watching it I wind up remembering "DESU DESU DESU DESU" and my enthusiasm flies out the window.
I guess it can't help being related to crappy older material, but it's still a big hurdle for me.
For what its worth, she shows up really late and isn't really an important character this time around. For all intents and purposes this one has nothing to do with the original series and its a story of how a NEET is able to face himself and force himself to man up and get back into society. The dolls are kind of the mechanism to get him there but it works either way.
Fear not, she's barely in the show.

Without Nisemonogatari, Monogatari S2 doesn't really work. Specifically the final arc.
I'm a fan of mil-SF in particular and Yamato is really the best thing since Babylon 5 in terms of television SF. I wanted to like LOGH, but Yamato is just so easy to get into because it hits all those mil-SF buttons so perfectly.

You might go insane if you start wondering why SHAFT hasn't made the Kizumonogatari move yet, but otherwise? No
I know
I was just joking a bit. Some people might take me serious, though. You are probably right there.
Neko black->Bake->Nise->Mono S2 for you new guys

Yamato is way closer to something like Toward the Terra than it is to the masterpiece known as LOTGH.
You're wrong, and so forth.
Yeah there are opinions and then there are people who think Yamato is better than LOGH.
I loved Yamato. Great show. Doesn't hold a candle to LOGH in anything except number of ass shots.

I stand by my "it's an okay remake of a great old space opera" stance. People that loved 2199 should binge old space operas so that they can see where all the tropes came from. Start with OG Gundam. Then Zeta. Then just...watch all the Gundam's. Then shit on Build Fighters for not really being a Gundam show with me. Then get hated like it's the player haters ball 2014.
Then go down the Leiji Matsumoto rabbit hole. I'm talking Maetel, Galaxy Express, Harlock. Don't come back until you've rode the galaxy rails son.

Or you know, just start with Heinlein and Le Guin.
That would require reading.
The Yamato war from the perspective of Dessler's granddaughter and the son of that cowardly second-class knee bending scum that was shelling Earth from Pluto.
(Yamato 2199 end spoilers)
More like Crazy-Space-Bitch's Granddaughter, if CSB had decided to conquer everyone instead of Dessler.

Why hate crazy conservative white male SF writer?! lol
I hear Director Miyazaki from world renowned Studio Ghibli created an adaptation of a Le Guin novel.

Director Miyazaki, but not the good one.
Edit: Now I'm sure of it.
Nooo don't tell me if he's an ultra con. I don't want to know. Ender's Game hasn't been the same since.
... You have read Starship Troopers, right?
I don't think so. The list of sci-fi I haven't read (that isn't Asimov, (some of) Dune, AC Clark, or the other popular ones) is long though.
just watch the verhoeven film
Already done.
When I was a kid. Over and over until the tape burst into flame in a few certain scenes.
Somehow still hemmed by a (grizzled veteran of past failures) Goro Miyazaki.

New World is godlike, Aku no Hana is godlike, Shingeki no Kyojin is godlike, Monogatari is godlike, and I gotta watch Yamato.
The book is kinda like the movie played perfectly straight.
Mmm...I don't know if I want that.
You're probably going to find it to be god-esque, if not god-adjacent. You should binge watch all of it immediately.
Well, it sounds like he IS the good one... with his father as the great one. But at any rate a rookie effort on material that should've been left in a master's hand by all accounts. Ah well.
At least Heinlein's dead, though I haven't probed into his views yet. It's a bit more unpleasant to go for Orson Scott Card stuff knowing he's alive AND active, not simply saying crap but not acting in a negative way.
... And I go see what's going on with international versions of Yamato 2199, see it's being called STAR BLAZERS 2199 since they don't want to shake off the old localized name for some crazy reason, and that it looks so far like the only way to see the serie legit here is to pay $35/45 for DVDs and blu-rays respectively. I was hoping I could just stream it off Crunchyroll or something. At least many of the other shows are covered, I'd been wanting to watch some anime again for awhile.

Nice work on the thread, thanks.
Felt like GBF should have been higher, really enjoyable.
Sad to see Log Horizon and Kyousogiga so low. Shocked to see Panzer at 20, though a ton of people really liked it.
Pretty nice diverse list for the top 10.

Go in a corner and watch LoGH now. shameful.Fuck yeah @ Yamato!
Glad my quote got selected ;_;
It's a real nice show and does exactly what it sets out to do while having sensible characters / motives on both sides with lots of lasers and CHARGE.
How far did you get in? I'm bit surprised since I ended up liking most of the characters. LoGH is something you need to want to watch (or give it enough time) imo. After I decided to start it (seemed daunting) I didn't put it down. Was a productive week...
Yamato 2199 is way better than any of the old gundams honestly.

I watched 3 or 4 episodes. I also watched all of Tytania, so based on what I know, I assume the show is big on political exposition which I don't really find all that interesting unfortunately.
The fact that the opening battle has no real sense of scale (what does it matter when they are talking about hundreds of thousands of ships mashing into each other?) also kind of put me off.
I think the movie that sums up the first 3 episodes presents itself far better (I did that).
Scale wise you'll understand the corridor maps of travel when the series brings them up. LoGH does spend a good amount of time on lore building which is also kinda part political exposition, although it's more these characters stuck in these politics(?)
If nothing by the end of episode 7 intrigues you, maybe save it for later. Also skip the episode previews since they spoil stuff!
Just going through the episode list and I forget how fast it moves early on relative to everything that happens.
Of course!
Or be good.
Hunter x Hunter got robbed. Kill la Kill has no business being second. This is how George Bush got elected twice.
edit: ooooh I was Quoted. XD

Yeah, it's WW2 in space. But I just wish it was WW2 sea battles and not the Eastern Front. lol
In theory, I'd like to go back to it sometime, but I don't know if that'll happen given all the other shows I haven't watched. I am itching for a science fiction show though, but assuming it's anything like Tytania, I'm not sure how far I'd make it.
While I agree that Hunter x Hunter should have been higher than Kill la Kill, I don't think it's a bad show by any means. It's not for everyone and it's not especially smart, but animation is a medium where style can get you a long way. If you look at the top 20, a lot of those shows have a distinctive style.
Yes, the writing is the weakest aspect, but KlK is still great at art, direction, music and voice acting. It's dumb, but it's well crafted.

Tytania sucks, LOTGH doesn't really start until episode 26.
I was once one of those horrible horrible people who gave up on LOTGH after only 3 episodes in, I didn't get back to it until months later where it became my favorite anime ever by quite a large margin.

I gave my 26 episodes to Tytania then, because that's a lot of episodes for something to start.

The people who don't like LOTGH are the same as the terrible class of people who like Sword Art Online.
Tytania went "FUCK YOU" to me midway through, and I couldn't care less about what happened afterward. Not that it was particularly impressive to begin with, but at least it was diverting.
LOGH is grand and all, but not particularly tightly plotted as crazy shit just keeps happening for the sake of crazy shit happening until somebody FINALLY turns off the "Chaos" switch on the universe then there's peace and prosperity. In other words, more is not better. I can't pick on it too much otherwise, but that's why I'd shy away from considering it best ever or anything. Oh right, it also had a Wesley Crusher. Fuck him.

So you think Yamato is better? I've put LOGH on the back-burner part way through because someone on GAF spoiled the hell out of it for me. I'm trying to find inspiration to finish it.
I actually haven't finished Yamato yet but I've loved what I've seen and it was going to beat out all the current anime I saw anyway.
I wasn't really comparing the two, just talking about LOGH specifically. To be clear, I liked it a lot overall.
