Weird. I'm at job #2 now, so I can't cross-reference the numbers until I get back on my laptop in the office tomorrow morning.
I literally counted post by post and seperated the counts by page.
EDIT: Are you guys just fucking with me yet again?

Animegaf Discord when...
yeah that is what I did as well.
nintendoman and I are close on our numbers though.
they are currently recounting two others that could swing if the votes are off. I am unfortunately busy for the rest of the night though. I have my weekly game night with my college buddy and a marvel puzzle quest alliance event thus I can't count anymore tonight
nope, if you can check your PMs you can see my page by page counting...
well mostly page by page... there was so much chatter on page 6 that it didn't have many votes so I just combined it with 7

I'm certainly not. Some results were waaay off from what they were. Zulux can confirm this as well.

As you might expect from a 1960s Tezuka TV anime at Mushi Pro, the animation here is super janky. The shortcuts taken to limit the animation are really obvious, and clunky in a way that diminishes the illusion of a three-dimensional space that the characters inhabit. Sometimes characters are in different physical positions when the same scene is viewed from different camera angles, and in at least one case the background actually randomly changes behind static characters:
Osamu Dezaki directed this episode (under overall director Gisaburo Sugii), but here he shows little of the talent for making compelling direction and animation decisions that he would show in his series debut on Ashita no Joe the following year. Only in a very few places, such as the bridge collapse towards the end, are there any moments in this episode in which the animation itself is effective.
That said, this episode does have a good handle on disturbingly decrepit imagery. The world of Dororo is harsh and bleak, filled with poor people starving to death, soldiers brutalizing children, and demons melting people's faces off. While in 1969 TV anime was already transitioning to color, Dororo was still produced in black and white - the last TV anime to be so. Allegedly this was at the request of broadcaster Fuji TV, who was concerned about the amount of blood in the series. The black and white ends up working to the show's advantage, as the lack of color enhances the barrenness of the landscapes:
The world is drained of all color just as it is drained of life:
This commitment to stark imagery helps to create an evocative atmosphere despite the lack of polish.
I will say that Tezuka's character designs, while distinctive, can sometimes feel too goofy for the overall tone, although the spunky personality of Dororo himself serves to somewhat offset the grimness of other characters such as Hyakkimaru, whose father kicked off the series' premise by sacrificing 48 of his body parts to 48 demons for the power to rule the country.

Yeah I was wondering why I couldn't find one a few days ago
There's an old ass IRC but no discord?
We had one a couple months ago because Negator wanted it and I think it lasted a couple hours before novelty wore off. There's some stability offered by IRC given its existence as a protocol that's appreciated rather than the nomadic angle offered by services that eventually attempt to monetize and end up driving users away.

Trickster Episode 15 Beetle of Conviction
Happy boys in anime are the best, Kensuke finally feeling somewhat happy even with the distance from the Boys Detective Club and not being active participating in mysteries is good for him. Though I hope he starts answering Koba's calls. Hide is hilarious.
Koba is really doing good as a replacement for Akechi, everyone is so reliant on him now.

If AnimeGAF was good at following the rules, we wouldn't have the annual purge.
GAF in general is allergic to actually following voting rules, that's the only way the GOTY threads make any sense.Well I did kind of go to college for math and take some accounting classes >.>

Gintama Ocean Dub - 266-268
That... that... that was not bad. One can't replace the Japanese voice actors in my mind but that was very watchable. While the voices don't sound the same I think they did a good dubbing job. Time stop in English was still great fun. I think Scott McNeil even did the voice for Pic****.

Yowamushi Pedal New Generation Episode 3 Teshima's Ride of the Soul
But Aoyagi...
This is great, I love captain Teshima and the way he is being captain, but once again it seems the curse of being captain and not being the ace player remains true, sad.
Hotshot trying to tell the new Hakogako his name was the best part, lol as well as the cheering.

Somebody call SDBurton.... IMMEDIATELY.
Also, FUCK this crazy-ass, super-bitch, evil-minded, slut of a teacher, seriously....
Villian of of the year for real.. uugghh, so many things wrong with this episode...
I will say that this show does an amazing job depicting the confusion and range of emotions that she is going though. The show hits way to close to home with this stuff and it's almost as painful to watch her go through this as it is to watch Rei in full on depression mode in 3-gatsu. The presentation is amazing in this regard..

Yo. This show is just outstanding. Had there not been a second season of a certain Rakugo, this would easily be my show of the season. This stuff is heavy, but it's so well handled that I just cannot help but be entertained and engrossed in all of it.

That short ninja battle was pretty dope. I wish they had more of those! While the show hasn't stayed as good as I thought it would be after the first couple episodes, it has been pretty fun to watch.

KING OF THE BRAVES GAOGAIGAR #38 Showdown in the Darkness.
This was kind of a scary episode, though it made me kind of wonder if there was every a serious show that ended up revealing that it was all a dream that the protagonist had gone through. Seeing Gai all panicked about it in the dream was scary.

Looking at those Narag screenshots reminds me of how much I loved that style of anime back then.
When I think 'anime' I think of that style.

One of the rare times that Kai is smiling with everyone else, this is great.
I dont like any of the new character designs, they all have odd designs.

This episode was able to find better techniques to compensate for the limited animation than the first episode, with its greater embrace of symbolic emotion-driven visuals. For example, since the show doesn't have the resources to actually stage an action scene, in the confrontation between Hyakkimaru and the soldiers who burned down the orphanage it focused on portraying Hyakkimaru's anguish over losing Mio more than the particulars of his combat with the soldiers.

Here an animation loop was reused from earlier in the episode with fire overlaid to illustrate how Hyakkimaru's dreams were cruelly cut short.
Here Hyakkimaru's sword cuts are transforming into cutting up a picture of Mio, a vivid illustration of his frustration and despair as well as his cutting ties with the brief period of happiness he enjoyed.

I felt like this was intentionally made to be a breather episode given the turn the first two episodes took.
