I missed you all so much. Ill try not to get banned anymore
This is exactly the sort of reason why I dont buy DVD versions of things anymore. bluray or bust.
This isnt too bad of a ranking Corvy. Not bad at all.
usually the case when given the option.

You don't just look cute, you are cute.
I really enjoyed this. The outdoor backgrounds looks really nice, and the music and the slower pace fits the country setting. Don't think it needed that much senpai obsession though.
Still... I give it 4.5 Koma-plushies out of 5.
Any chance of a second season?
This was definitely one of my shows of the year. So pleasant to watch. Like Kinmoza but more innocent even than that lol.
wtf why is my gif not gifing. piece of trashbutt minus. might migrate over to that german site.
hmmm weird work unblocked minus again.
THANK YOUUUUU

Hmm. Ok so its a sequel then? I thought it was a story of how that scenario came to be?
Dem tanooki balls. I remember when I first saw this movie. It was pretty hilarious.

It gets a lot wackier. The beginning is really subdued compared to later on.
Long Live the (DokiDoki) Precure: 46
And finally, we have reached the endgame. Learning about the Princess, what happened to her, and the fates of Regina and Cure Ace, not to mention the King as well.
To think, this was Armus's fault all along...

Is it more than just girls trolling boys? lol
It's funny, because the characters are all tropes - to the point where you could probably do an isomorphic transform to GJ-bu and get the exact same cast - but it needs more than just guy resisting being tortured by girls or guy enjoying being tortured by girls.

What if they explore fetishes again like in GJ-bu?

It's more like everyone being a psychopathic idiot with the exception of the MC, aka the show's Shinpachi. It's pretty amusing.

Opening: While I do like it, I'm actually pretty disappointed that its not as blood pumping as the first one.
Ending: On par with the previous one.
First half focus on how good friends Naruko and Imai are to each other. Also, a display of their parental nature when they're concerning over Onoda.
Flagrant Mido the antagonist backstory showing and will have a hand in making things rough for our protagonists. Will be fun when he meets Imai again.
Really liking some of the other Hakone guys. Toudou definitely trumps Mana in the beauty department and I'm going to be keeping a close eye on the second year with his pals Frank and Andy.
Naturally a catgirl is a favorite. Order of the universe and all.
Crab is the best. nise was weaker cause she was pushed aside.
IT will sell a billion copies. Make it so!
This. corvy kun you know what to do!
I see yuri crossed out, and Im wondering why
Its one of the best certainly. Absolutely classic.
You mean Fushigiboshi no futago hime? That took forever to be viewable. Its so adorable!
Lol. Not even close.
a pertinent question!
Hmm. Well it looks cute at least. Will give it a shot. (thats not a c3bu joke)
Happy Birthday to Watanabe Kazuma (apparently for real this time,haha).
Have a good one. (Again ;p)
I love your Aila avatar
PhantomOfTheKnight also mention New Years Eve was their birthday, so happy birthday to you too.
Hopefully you enjoy Wolf Children if you haven't seen it already.
Belated happy birthday to Kazzy

THERE'S A HUGE DAMN SPOILER IN THE PREVIEW FOR EPISODE 112. DO NOT WATCH THE PREVIEW IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE MANGA, LIKE MYSELF.
Other than that, I was a bit disappointed that

Other than that, I was a bit disappointed that
the fighting barely started in this episode and half of it was dedicated to showing how badass Netero was and how he got his strength. Aw well, this explanation had to come at some point, and Netero is even more amazing because of it.
lol, you guys should really just turn it off by the time the ED credits roll.

This is the only time a preview spoiled something that big to me. Yeah! Lets not hint at something massive happening! No! Let's just outright SHOW what happens and kill all the shock value!
I knew youd enjoy monogatari Corvy kun. Its special. Probably for all the wrong reasons but theres really nothing else like it.
Shaft pretty consistently work on some really interesting subject matter despite their production values and I keep coming back to it.
What is reading?
Apocalypse Zero is so fucked up. Im pretty sure the creator just shit random designs on a piece of paper and called it a day.
Digimon Xros Wars 36
SUPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
speaking of weird designs...what kind of drugs do these guys take before designing?
I've apprehended the suspect.
Best Cure asserting her dominance.
NOPE
Youve caught the virus Corvy. Im afraid theres no cure.
This is truth.
Kill me, or open a portal in my head. It's worth the risk.
Even Aralagi-san can't regen his wing wang without Shinobu's blood.
I guess it depends how recently Shinobu has sucked his blood, but still. Far too dangerous.
Saru-chan also doesn't go for penis.
I'll bet she gives a great scolding as well. Bueno.
Animegaf are truly masochists. Well 90% at least.

Not sure if anyone saw this yet, but here:
Nonon Biyori
Well, I can certainly see the Ants doing stuff like that given thatthe humans they ate we're douchebags as well, so they got douchebag genes along with their nature to serve the queen.
That's not even the worst part!Gon thinks he's still alive! And this is the kind of Shounen where rage for your fallen comrade doesn't make you more powerful!
This is brilliant!
These uniform designs certainly stand out. Whether good or bad shall be determined!

The flashback is incredible badass, and even filled me with feels. That level of dedication, the whole reason for it, pure gratitude to the martial arts that changed his life, the pure crazyness and obsession that in the end it made him beyond human, and fun smugness when he returns from the mountains.
Also the inside-the-story explanation of why the characters can talk between them when it makes sense from the dramatic standpoint even if realistically doesn't make sense as only tenths of second occurs is hilarious, original and so appropriate.

Hm... *adds Kinmoza to backlog*
And here I was wondering why 5 pages suddenly apeared. Welcome back cajun.
It's funny to see how the three female leads all basically fawn over Wakamoto in the extra interviews.
Edit: Damn, I knew I forgot something. Happy Birthday 7th. May your dream of a utopian society of little girl yuri shows dominating the wold come to pass.
It's weird to think that such a show had a pretty strong voice cast as well: Rie, Tanaka, Wakamoto, Mizuki, Kawasumi. Even Daisuke Ono has a minor part as one of the extra ninjas.

It could be worse. Somewhere out there, someone is no doubt planning live action Bible Black.

Sora no woto, Haibane, Aria, Tsuritama

Sword Art Online Extra Bullshit
So how do you frame a clip show so that you can trick people into watching and perhaps paying for this thing?
Here's Mr. Exposition, Chief of Exposition of the Exposition Department, here to give them a reason to shit out the entire series in a movie.
Oh, but that wouldn't be enough to get people to buy this. You can't ignore the harem!
Hey, they all have boobs except the short one. Isn't that funny?
It's like a one-two punch of shit. One where you're reminded of all the terrible plot that led Kirito to be the BEST GAMER EVER and the other where you're reminded that these girls all fell on top of his rod and want to ride him.

God, it's all coming back to me. I still hope that Kawahara doesn't *believe* in any of this bullshit and that he has found the perfect way to get into the heart of the otaku and stroke his "ego" in order to sell shitty fiction, much in the way that I just assume Stephanie Meyer actually hates her reading audience because there is no way that she thinks her writing is actually any good.
I can only hope that because I'm just reminded of the fact that the anime itself has no self-awareness. That it expects me to give a shit about any of these characters and their lust for the most perfect man ever. That it expects me to just buy into the shitty OreImo angst to the point that in the new material, they do their best to push it hard because I'm assuming (pseudo)-incest sells the most and Sugu is the "fan favourite" character of the franchise. Even in what amounts to a pointless OVA with no ties to the series beyond setting up the sequel season in a 5 second Marvel-esque tag after the credits, they just can't fucking help themselves. Fucking hell.
The people who like this thing will continue to like it. I'm sure they'll like the second season too. But for me, this was a reminder of everything that was contemptuous and insidious of the original series. Is it the worst thing on the internet since child porn? Apparently some crazy asshole said it was earlier in the year, so I'll have to defer to his opinion. All I can say that this series still represents everything that is terrible about anime in the 2010s. It's not the moefication of heroines or the rise of girl-only slice of life shows (because people who reduce Hidamari Sketch to "girls being cute for male audiences" can just go fuck themselves), it's this need to encourage the otaku audience into self-gratification through a reification of their hobbies. Buying games and figures and BDs and doujin and body pillows and onaholes are sacred activities to be praised and encouraged, because the otaku will feel good about themselves while continuing to contribute to the churn of the industry.
But you know what? Maybe this is the anime that we deserve, because even something like Yamato 2199 can't fully escape the churn of the modern anime industry.
I'm sure someone will point that I watched a show I called BoobJoust, and if you count the five minutes it takes for me to go through each episode, then yes, I did. But the thing is that BoobJoust, and I presume the other harem shows this season, don't insist on the importance of their characters or their plot. The directors or writers or whomever know enough that they are just hocking merchandise, than any dramatic beats are to create a serviceable story, not because they have a story that is actually worth telling. Imagine a shitty harem with the gravitas of 12 Years a Slave. That is what's wrong with SAO in a nutshell.
Too conclude, insert Asuna joke here.
I m 100% convinced you actually enjoy this show.

True, anime has always been lewd. Especially back in the 90s. Gawdamn.
This is a great list of great things.

I thought that was Elsie and Keima's classmate from the opening and ending. Chihiro is way cuter than she lets on. Her voice is very familiar too, but as I've sad before I don't really follow seiyuu that closely.
Loved Keima's Virtual Boy addition to his PFP. lol. It's amazing how similar the two are as well. This was a pretty cute arc.
Looking forward to the student teacher next, she seems adorable
Shes as cute as the rest!
The show is chock full of cute girls. endless supplies of them. It is glorious.

What a wonderful battle. Every bit of preparation gets paid off in a surprising way.
I'm not really sure what else to say. For a ship battle fought on multiple fronts and from multiple angles, every move was clear, and every action affected the final outcome in a way that the viewer can easily understand. Absolutely excellent. Perhaps the best space battle I've seen in anime this side of Gunbuster 6 (though I honestly haven't seen that many worthy space battles).
Garmillas's relationship with Iskandar remains enigmatic, and I hope that more is revealed soon.
This show has multiple Jam Project EDs, and that's awesome.

One of the many aspects of this show's excellent visual design is how it grounds its space battles in World War II naval imagery, both in its depiction of the ships and its depiction of space. The Yamato being an updated version of an actual WWII battleship might have seemed an anachronism, but thanks to metaphors like the ion storm or the ocean surface shown here, it fits.

Whew, finally made my contribution to the AOTY thread.
I was previously under the impression that I wasn't capable of making a list without it turning into a monsterpost. I have now realised that this is not strictly true: this one turned into monsterposts. Plural.

I'll never understand people's need to treat the thread as if it were dragon's gold they had to jealously guard and polish. If it's slow, it's slow. If it's got a few too many lewd jokes the mods'll knock heads and that'll be that.

The copious amount ofTL is staggering here.
and unfortunately, like half the episode was only really relevant to the episode name. We might have more than two training episodes left, wonzo.
