Well last year it was Space Dandy, which is good.
It's not Ping Pong, the rightful champion, but it was a good popular vote.
I didn't watch enough shows this year to feel good about voting and I don't really wanna try to catch up.
Deadman Wonderland.

That Lupin III show they wanted is short, too, though it was probably cheap so that might be a factor.
On the other hand, I wonder if they see more value in short shows now that they have that newer rerun slot
WELL, YOU GUYS KEEP BUGGING ABOUT PSO2 GETTING LOCALIZED, RIGHT?

Viz and hulu being bed buddies seems to hurt OPM more then its length
I honestly don't get what's the big deal with the game. I've only seen the stage in Dengeki and that's all. Seems like a pretty boring MMO to me.
*checks episode list* It was only 12?! Man, that felt like a much longer series for some reason.
I think it's because it didn't really have an ending.
I believe it was going to go past 12 episodes, but the ratings were so shit they cut it short.
The manga is finished now. It's okay.

Nope. OPM was an average budget show. Director said that.
Edit: Unless you mean the cost it would take to license it, which isn't really true either.

I had no expectations for the new Berserk project when it was announced, so my reaction to the trailer was tempered. It's still terrible, though.
I imagine Viz would bump up the cost itself based on the show's popularity.

Despite common perceptions, budget doesn't always play as big of a role in good anime animation.

People give far more power to the mythical concept of "budget" then they should, when most of the time a show looks good because they got a good director and good animators and were able to keep a solid production schedule.
Notice how people always talk about budget but never say how much the show actually cost or how that cost was split or who is funding the production.

The original PSO was a pretty big deal back in the day and still played by some to this day, it's understandable why it's numbered sequel has people curious to try it.
For example: Toei
Toei makes billions off merchandise. Budgets are not an issue with them
It's about directors, and where they place them. Right now, Pretty Cure has their top directors, and despite Dragon Ball being crazy popular, they have a weaker one on Super.
Sometimes showrunners screw things up to, with One Piece they think it's wise to have 1 episode = 1 chapter pacing (sometimes less).

IE if you don't like cg anime this trailer isn't going to convince you otherwise

That shot of Guts walking toward the camera looks like a 90s video game CGI cutscene
more like if you don't like bad CG. I'm completely fine with CGI in anime if it doesn't look like a ps2 cutscene. There is one scene in that trailer that looked decent. Most of it was pretty bad.

You say this yet stuff like RWBY and Knights of Sidonia is popular and has equally as hideous CGi
That shit is too real for HBO.
*remembers the story about HBO neutering Game of Thrones sexual violence* You might be right...
Netflix on the other hand.
From what little I've seen of Knights of Sidonia, this Berserk teaser looks worse than that. And RWBY is a web-series from a popular youtube channel...
is it unrealistic of me to expect better from one of the most famous and highly praised manga of all time?

Going just from the preview, Berserk doesn't look as stiff, lifeless and bad frameratey as Knights of Sidonia so at least it has that going for it.
Netflix Original with as faithful of Berserk as you can be.
I wouldn't mind watching this.
Japan has done a ton via anime. Heck, isn't Ikki Tousen a (very loosely) retelling?
The Chinese series that came out in like 2008 is really god. But the action sequences are far too kung fu filmy for my taste and a few of the sets are really poorly done
But Cao Cap absolutely carries the fuck out of that show
And pretty much all of them have been mediocre to bad

Romance of the Three Kingdoms/Warring States Period has got to be one of the most common manga settings. The amount boggles the mind, and a lot of them are really good. But being Warring States, they are also like 900 chapters long with 1,000 characters.

Yeah I know it was already posted above but I'll post the tweet anyways:
Whoa really? so, how does it all end for our boy ganta? does he get his name cleared and out of the crazy prison hellhole?!

Ikki Tousen has a story!?
ROTK is one of the most influential Asian books to ever been released. Its similar to something like the Illyad/Odyssey
Warring States period is also probably the most important war in east Asian history in terms of cultural impact

it's awards season and you know what that means
Manga spoilers obviously (not sure if I should tag since I doubt Deadman will get another anime)
Yeah, all the innocent people got cleared. Shiro went crazy and basically took over the prison, while G-Cup Tits helped everyone else get out. But then they went back because of a new villain that kind of came out of nowhere only making Shiro worse. Then it turned Shrio and the Wretched Egg weren't split personalities, it was all her, and she wants to die. The manga ends with Ganta fighting her, and she ends up in a coma. But the last page has her wake up.
There was also a plot point about Ganta's powers slowly killing him, but that went absolutely nowhere

Especially the part where he trolls the hell out of Yuan Shao.
But yeah, ROTK is very influential.
Nah, I refuse to believe it even has one.

Cool. so does the manga explain how Ganta's life is after the whole DW events? I'm pretty sure he can't go back to a normal life after that.
Oh come on, there are more entertaining fanservice shit than the likes of Ikki Tousen.
