Meh, everybody will surpass me in a week.
New season, new thread and new attempt to keep up with the never-ending posts.
Thus far, only Seitokai Yakuindomo and the Mushishi OVA is on my must watch list with every else to follow as per other people's reactions.
Although Theonik may try and shiv me if I don't finish Yamato and Infinite Stratos.

Kill La Kill and Hyouka talk does that.
This is pretty much how I made it through Eiken. Played Pokemon since the show was boring.
In my country we elect our kings.
Can't spell aoty without aot
So my watchlist looks like:
Continuing: Golden Time, Log Horizon, Nagi no Asukara, Strike the Blood, Tokyo Ravens
Old Stuff: Yamamoto 2199, Mushishi
New Stuff (will try at least an ep or two): Chuu2 2, d-frag, silver spoon 2, inari, nisekoi, nourin, saki, seitokai yakuindomo, strange+, witchcraft works, wizard barristers.
Is the Natsume Yuujinchou ova this season? That too.

Kind of surprised to see the announcement of Mayo Chiki getting an English dub upgrade, but MM!, which is also getting an English dub added and actually has a formal release date, is not included. Still was not planning on selling my sub-only DVDs for MM! anyway, but I wonder why that title was not included.
Feels like I'm back at IGN.

Hey, new thread! Anime of the year is Sunbather by Studio Deafheaven.
I keep dropping off! Fuckers better announce full details about Strike Witches 3 soon and I'll post like a mad man.
In a year with another Hidamari Sketch season? Nope!

I would like to make a motion to the ocean to make it possible for this title.
But then again... too lazy.
You really don't.

I saw it for the first time last week. Liked it a lot. Amazon had it on blu-ray for $12.99, so I was like "Fuck yeah!"
Still think I prefer Wolf Children, though.

Glad to see people are coming around on Summer Wars. It was always the superior Digimon movie.

Crunchyroll picked up Soni-Ani SUPER SONICO THE ANIMATION as well.
Oh hey, the Winter thread has arrived. I guess this means I need to figure out which shows I'm actually going to be watching this season. *starts perusing*
I was quite surprised by this assessment. Neko placing so high makes sense since this is Corvo and his love for Hanekawa knows no bounds, but Oni in second place? I'm the biggest lover of loli fanservice in these parts, and even with
I thought that was one of the weaker arcs of Monogatari SS. Given Corvo's distaste for sexualising lolis, I would have thought it would have been right down there at the bottom, even with the hard-hitting final episode.
For the record, my ranking of the SS arcs would probably be something along the lines of:
Otori (Nadeko Medusa) > Koi (Hitagi End) > Kabuki (Mayoi Jiangshi) > Hana (Suruga Devil) > Oni (Shinobu Time) > Neko White (Tsubasa Tiger)
It does seem fairly appropriate that AO provided us with the Quartz Gun, the very tool that should be used to erase its own existence.

Can't say I'm terribly surprised. It's the sort of thing that only Crunchy would go after, hence they get the lion's share of the rights.

Yeah that was the most disappointing thread finish ever.
I didn't even realize there was a new thread until I realized there were no new posts in the thread for 2 and a half hours.

Is there a reason why it sounds like idols are auditioning for a porno? Naughty Detectives? Really?
And there was a new girl too! Maybe she was Idol of the Week material, or she'll truly be our fifth wheel, who knows. All I know was that fanon was born this episode.

Well in the J-drama adaptation one of the guys is Chinese...
While I am very, very against sexualizing lolis, I am willing to make a lot of exceptions to things when
someone is about to die.
Hachikuji was about to die for real, and since her relationship with Araragi was more as his best friend than object of sexual affection the way that Senjou, Hanekawa and Kanbaru are, it felt less creepy that Hachikuji would hold his hand just before her death and kiss him farewell. That last episode hit hard enough to really sell me on it, largely because I had been expecting the inescapable conclusion that Araragi would fail and would not save Mayoi from the moment he had prevented her death back in Mayoi Zombie.
To be entirely fair, I hadn't yet seen the last arc in the show. In honesty my love for Shinobu Time is derived entirely from that last episode because
it really is a sweet send off to a likeable character.
Tsubasa is up top because frankly it's 3 arcs worth in the making and they pull it off without a hitch. How y'all keep calling that the worst arc in the show is beyond me. Hitagi End comes in second because it has the best narrator in the entire show, provides some desperately needed development for Hitagi, as well as Nadeko and Kaiki, has the best OP in the series, and the glorious Manservice shower sequence. Medusa comes next because its twist was stellar, and because while we were all distracted by the other storylines there was a fair amount of background setup for this one. Also because it jived with me, personally. Shinobu outranks Mayoi because I like Mayoi more than Shinobu, and because, while the two arcs are intertwined and similar in a lot of ways, Mayoi's big moment is infinitely better than Shinobu's. Also I like Mayoi more than Shinobu.
A final rating of girls thus far ensues:
Kaiki
Medusa Nadeko

The due process by which the de facto Anime of the Year as elected by NeoGAF Official Forums is as follows:
All who wish to participate in the general voting will have the opportunity to fill out an extensive voter registration form detailing the anime they've watched in the past five years, their general tastes, their primary fetishes, their dislikes, their family history, medical history, and marital status, among other things. This information will be collated and used to segregate registered voters into nine forum districts, making an effort to group voters of similar profiles together.
Meanwhile, an Elector class consisting of nine regular AnimeGAF posters will be assembled. Any posters who have A) collected at least 100 posts in every AnimeGAF thread comprising the current season and last, B) have not registered as a member of the general voting class, and C) Has not been an elector in any of the past five Anime of the Year election sessions, can declare themselves eligible for Elector status. Each voting district will be responsible for filling one of the nine Elector Seats. Those who have declared themselves eligible may select which of the nine seats to campaign for, and must convince the voters representing that seat to vote for them. After a period of 14 days, each voting district selects their top three Elector candidates, with the top spot getting three votes, the second spot getting two votes, and the third getting one. The votes are collected together and the winner of each vote gains an Elector Seat.
After this, all nine voting districts are collected together as one representative Voting Class for the rest of the process. The Electors are now tasked with selecting which eligible candidates for Anime of the Year will be put to a final vote. The process is presided over by an impartial third party, known as the "Judge" and designated by moderators, who neither declared eligibility for an Elector Seat nor registered as a member of the voting districts. The electors select which candidates are put to a final vote by going through each candidate, discussing among themselves whether it should be worthy of the vote. After deliberations, each Elector votes Yay or Nay for that specific candidate. The candidate requires a 2/3rds majority (6 of 9 Electors voting Yay) to be considered for the final vote. Each candidate is discussed and deliberated in this fashion until all candidates have been considered. There is no limit to the number of shows that may be put to the final vote.
The final vote proceeds as follows: The Voting Class is given a list of the chosen Anime of the Year candidates from which they must select five. Each member of the Voting Class can distribute 15 votes between these five shows. No show can receive more than six votes and all five must be given at least one vote. A member of the Voting Class may choose to abstain from the vote altogether. Upon completion, the votes are tallied together and the results are used to form the composition of the Selection Lottery.
The Selection Lottery proceeds as follows: Each candidate is designated by a random label (whether numbers, letters, or whatever else) by the Judge. It is unknown which candidate is represented by which label. Each candidate has a number of paper slips put into a hat. The number of slips is determined by the candidate's weighted vote results in comparison to the other candidates (so if show A gets 10000 votes, show B gets 5000 votes, and show C gets 2000 votes, they should get 10 slips, 5, slips, and 2 slips in the hat respectively). The Voting Class and Electors will in effect know the weight of each candidate, but not specifically what that candidate is. When all slips have been placed into the hat, the Judge randomly pulls out a number of slips equal to (number of candidates remaining * 2) + 1. So three candidates would lead to seven slips being pulled. Five candidates is 11, etc. Each slip pulled out representing a candidate is one vote for that candidate. When all slips are pulled, the candidate(s) with the lowest amount of votes pulled is eliminated from the Lottery. The weight of the eliminated candidates is redistributed among the remaining candidates, the paper slips are redistributed into the hat based on the new weights, and the Lottery is conducted again. These steps are repeated until only one candidate remains.
After the Lottery is conducted and only one candidate remains, the Voting Class will be called upon to ratify the Lottery, each member giving a Yay or Nay vote. A 60% majority of Yay votes is required to ratify the lottery. The use of anonymous labels is to ensure that the ratification is only to verify that the Lottery was conducted fairly and to eliminate possible outlier results if the Voting Class determines it so. If the ratification fails, then the entire Lottery is conducted from the very start with all candidates available again, after which ratification is attempted again.
Once the Lottery is ratified, the winning candidate is revealed to the Voting Class and the Electors. From here the Electors are given the opportunity to veto the final result. If all nine Electors decide on a single non-winning candidate that they feel should win instead, they can unanimously declare this candidate the winner instead. If the Electors successfully put forth a veto in this fashion, then the Voting Class will have one last opportunity to overturn the veto, each member giving a Yay or Nay vote. If 75% of Yay votes is achieved then the veto is overturned and the original winning candidate of the Selection Lottery is reinstated as the winner.
After all of the above is resolved, the winning candidate is officially put forth as the Anime of the Year as selected by NeoGAF Official Forums...... after which duckroll retains the right to unilaterally replace the winner with his own choice, no questions asked!
This really didn't much time at all, I swear! Really! Stop looking at me like that
And then Attack on Titan still wins.

How shinobu isnt one of your favorite characters is beyond me, considering she is one of the most mature characters in the show, and the extra mystery behind not seeing how her and araragi met eachother would add even more to that btw if you havent sen the kizumonogatari teaser, you should.

I used to try to watch everything as soon as it releases but now its usually just watch two or three each day and then catch up on thursday evenings and saturday or sunday afternoons. Crunchyroll on PS4 and Hulu on PS4 make it really easy and stuff on youtube on Kindle to watch before bed or right upon waking up.
Cant believe I skipped over Kurobas2 in that list.
Team Twintail is the best team
