You know, sometimes, there is such a disconnect...
I enjoyed the first season more, all things considered. S2 first half held remarkably well considering it was constant training after training, without the benefit of getting to introduce the primary cast of characters like in S1 but I still liked the latter more. I'd say every match before the last in S2 was a bit subpar and even the match against Aoba was better in S1 because of the much more pronounced Kageyama x Oikawa tension and rivalry.
I thought you disliked the show when reading your impressions, glad to see that's not the case.
Insulting KyoAni's masterpiece like that. smh
Seems like a good list but Kabaneri ? Ushio to Tora had plenty of its adherent too I think ?
No one watched this idolshit outside of you and Pbayne.
Bubu Buranki didn't strike me as something that got a reception that would warrant this. Also, severe lack of Haikyuu unless you omitted it because it's second season/cour.

You left off Super Lovers! please for me. Please.
Decent enough and it has variety.
Edit: Kabaneri, yes. I don't know if that many people really care about it, but it seems pretty high profile.
Konosuba got robbed, again. Were there even people that would recommend BBK/BRNK?

Brotherhood: Final Fantasy XV - Ep. 1
Well, that was bad.
From the rapid fire expostion (There was a war,we lost. The end), over the boring characters and doing boring to the shitty to fight scene where most enemies weren't even fighting back.
A few sconds earlier they werealso talking about how these enemies are suppsoed to be a big deal, but then they just attack them head on.
Dropped.

Well 20 is quite a long as is so any show that can be safely removed?
Where is my Konosuba love?

I'd say I like the two seasons of Haikyuu about evenly, with perhaps a slight preference towards the second. The first half of the second season did an excellent job with character development and striving towards growth, and the second half did an excellent job of paying off that character work in Karasuno's performance during the tournament, while also doing a good job of fleshing out their opponents so that the show didn't become a battle between Good and Evil but a competition between various teams trying their best with good sportsmanship. I'm glad the second season ended again with a Karasuno vs. Seijoh match; it made a good contrast to show just how far Karasuno had come. Other than the one episode featuring a match in which Karasuno was not playing, which felt like padding, there were no episodes I was unhappy with.
I had more problems with House of Five Leaves than I expected, enough that I won't put it on an all-time favorites list, but I appreciated it on the whole. It's certainly the type of show I like to see get made.

I'll be honest, that's not a bad way to do it.
Surely, he meant God Eater.
Katte ni Kaizou 1-6 END
So, this is a short set of OVAs done by Shaft, adapting a number of chapters from Koji Kumeta's, the mangaka behind Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, previous long running work (1998-2004). And I must unfortunately say, I was distinctly underwhelmed by it. It has one decent, opening, episode but the rest feels like the collection of the most subpar SZS outings. Here too Kumeta's repetitive scheme of having one dominant issue/joke per chapter and driving it into the ground, with dozens of examples and illustrations, strikes again. The character designs, the overall aesthetic and the kind of humor is very akin to SZS so if you're very desperate for more of that, it is indeed an option but generally speaking, I'd advise against checking it out.
No one watched this idolshit outside of you and Pbayne.
Hey now Sterok watched it too. And no one who watched it ever criticized it. So 100% approval rating lol.
FF 15 Brotherhood 1
Did a better job selling me on the game than the demo.
The gimmick of teleporting and summoning weapons will never not be cool. I hope the game allows you give the guys different colors though, i still hate that they all wear black its like looking at the NWO or something.

I wish Mirai was in a better show. Maybe a cameo on Euphonium 2 or something one day

Charlotte Special
I shouldn't have watched this; in this one episode they encapsulated everything I loved and hated about Charlotte. It's a touching episode set during the events of Charlotte when they crew was going about their Student Council missions before anything big happens in the story. It features Nao and Yuu trying to help a MS girl with a special ability. The banter back and forth between Nao and Yuu was amazing and watching this after the story has been completed, highlights exactly why this should have been 24 episodes and they should have been. More focus on the development between these two characters would have made the final scenes that much more impactful, which is why this is so frustrating to watch because the opportunities were there, but they rushed through it. Also, the foreshadowing in this episode was heartwarming and impactful in hindsight. Anyhow, this was a great revisit to the world of Charlotte since Nao and Yuu were definitely my favorite part of the show and their interactions were always great.

Dimension W 13
I'm kind of confused about what happened. Didnt answer all the questions but I suppose its a better "read the manga" ending than most other series'. Overall, I liked the show a lot.
There are a few more poorly animated episodes later on, but the story and content of the episodes make up for it.

I actually like Junichi Hayama's version of the character designs in episode 5 better than the normal version of the character designs. Typically the character art is not just flat in shading but also flat in expressiveness; the art in episode 5 conveys much more emotion and paints the characters as more than blank slates.

Watch Sekko Boys. And Sushi Police. They were great and especially Sushi Police is totally under appreciated in here.

No they aren't. The top rated show on MAL is Gintama° now after people spammed it with 10s to shoot it above FMA: Brothehrood. Might as well put Gintama° on the list and nothing else then.
If I would show around my MAL score people in here would probably murder me.

Those were just the ratings for shows that aired this past winter (1 or 2 cours), I believe that scores with 50,000+ votes is pretty valid representation of it's overall quality and can be considered valid recommendations. Obviously, it's not always right and/or just and everyone has their own opinions that are not always accounted for.
This is just the ratings for the shows that aired this past winter. (1-2 cours) I forgot to include Gintama, Fairy Tale, Duradurrarraarrara, etc., but they can also be added as recs, no problem; it's just an example of how that list plays out in comparison.
On no list anywhere on earth, (unless it's the shows own home page) should three of those shows appear as "recommendations" above some of the others unless we really want to troll people, lol. Ok maybe a slight embellishment, but still... Obviously, as a community, there are a ton of biases towards a few things/shows, it's very transparent which is should be... It doesn't really matter at the end of the day and whatever or however it is decided is fine by me and it's not worth rocking the boat over. It's just silly to me how these things play out at times, lol.
I believe so, it's up to BGBW. I know he usually posts them really late/early in the morning here on the east coast, lol.
I've rescored a few things now that I have seen more anime, but opinions change for everyone for some stuff.

My problem is I start at 6-7 rating, but I need to start lower as my base score...

Usually my ratings are 7 and above. Anything below that I just tend to drop. Way too much stuff to watch to settle with mediocre shows. But again an 8 for me may be someone else's 4.

That was bad, bad, bad, on so many levels, not least of which is the eye-searingly ugly post-processing you can see evidenced above. Just about all my goodwill for this series is now gone. Ugh.
What is this, GoHands?

Kuromukuro seems is mecha XCOM according to pre-screening report.
I actually find it can be interesting, plus it's 26 episodes, so should't be removed(yet).

The Rose of Versailles 37
When the oncoming Reign of Terror isn't tragic enough so you need to put your main characters into a doomed romance with survival chances quickly approaching zero
From the first episode it was apparent that most of the cast would perish from a historical standpoint but this is just salt in the wound
