Romanes Eunt Domus
My head hurts but something about this stood out as it exemplifies not only their shit taste but their complete intellectual laziness when it comes to even the most basic fact checking:
Duo of the Year
Theron's Pick: Lynn Lambretta and Jenny Doolittle, Bodacious Space Pirates
Theron: I was sorely tempted to go with Asuna and Kirito from Sword Art Online, who were arguably the year's premier power couple,
LOL. Hey guys I was almost gonna pick this just to appease the masses like almost everything else we write!!!!Theron's Pick: Lynn Lambretta and Jenny Doolittle, Bodacious Space Pirates
Theron: I was sorely tempted to go with Asuna and Kirito from Sword Art Online, who were arguably the year's premier power couple,
and Waver and Rider certainly deserved consideration again for the second season of Fate/Zero. Some of the romantic couples which formed in the fall season's romances also merited consideration, too. I ultimately went with this duo because of how unexpectedly neat a pair they turned out to be. The moment in episode 17 where they finally officially admitted to being a couple (as depicted above) was a glorious revelation and doubtlessly made fans who had been shipping them together since the early stages of the series (despite little evidence of such a relationship) deliriously happy.
I'm 200% sure people we're pairing them together because of it happening IN THE FUCKING NOVELS which had been out WELL BEFORE THE SERIES HAD EVEN STARTED. Great research there ANN.com aka THE INTERNET'S MOST TRUSTED ANIME NEWS SOURCE.
Sorry!

Inconclusive end. Expected since it's not like there were many good stopping points. Guess depending on how this does, we can see another season once there's more material to adapt.

A very special final beam of the week that is completely indiscernible without the following scene.
I'm almost certain that they don't actually believe the vomit they regurgitate, they're just trying to satisfy the masses who love this crap. Same thing with Angel Beats winning AOTY.
The show got better along the way. The arcs and character development have been pretty good.
I assure you they do believe in what they are saying.
I'm pretty sure I can see a dip of a back and the start of a tail, in which case I know exactly what I'm looking at.
I found the third arc starting out really interesting and then ending really shitastically.

Only one outburst? There's no need to save them!
So we get our required infodump while the Kugiloli is stripping. I am disappointed that the busty lady with the funny book ends up fighting as a giant bear. Boring. And I guess the harem is gonna grow.

Nope, it's an old man with a hot dog glued to his forehead.
Eh, maybe I should give it another try then. The visuals were just so flat that I couldn't be bothered to watch another episode.
If you say so. I don't really know much about their staff.
Already!? Eh. I'll make my gif tomorrow since I said it would be a daily thing.
Those who watched all of Bodacious, does the yuri couple even figure into the show that much after the reveal? "This was my choice because the fans liked it" is such an evasive, empty non-justification for the choice that unless they're actually significant characters from that point on, I have a hard time believing that the ANN writer has any other reason than "lesbians are HOTT".
Something about the hyperboles in that write-up ("glorious revelation", "deliriously happy") make my face twitch.

They had an arc dedicated to them. They weren't exactly throw away characters.

Scene of the Year
Theron's Pick: Madoka makes her wish, Puella Magi Madoka Magica episode 12.
Carl's Pick: The school festival concert, K-ON!! episode 20.
This is 2012 right?

Okay, that makes things more understandable, then. His justification is still shitty and vague, though!
Prism nana right now is a huge tease.
Madoka whet appetites for the magical girl genre.
We want more damn it
Naturally.
Madoka is a perfect anime series.
It does everything right.

Their criteria for this is:

Oh right, they were released just this year.

while the pillows are really perverted, it is also revolutionary at the same time.
Did you edit your post? I was ready to follow you until now, milord.

I'll have you know I went to the Tate Britain yesterday and I didn't touch any of the art since they asked me not to.
Also that pillow is the best news to welcome 2013.
Also I clicked that ANN article and saw it was called Anime in America. Seeing as most streaming is pretty much universal that title is quite ignorant.
EDIT: And I just read the first sentence and even in my drunken state I can tell it was written by a knob. Closing the tab now.
I can fill those five empty slots for you.

How can one hate a pillow?

So, are you saying you are open to suggestions?
Don't have time for that unfortunately. Space Brothers and Jojo are enough.
And I prefer reading mangas over watching animes anyway.
welp, I went ahead and read the entire ANN article, and all I have to say now is that I really regret doing it.
SAO is the impurity!
SAO is the impurity!
Somehow one of the weirdest parts was how bluntly and openly they threw spoilers into the open. I guess it's a good thing most of what they are discussing is really old.
Why did you do that? When someone starts their article with "I'm Captain Cock of the SS Cock" you know it's time to close the article.

Bad memories.
Terrible.
Why? Why?
I can never go back...
I cannot unsee...
The horror...
Mommy help me...
Dont give in! Fight the urge!
Im sure several use 50 ppp.
Myself included.
For me, senjougahara was such an immensely amazing character that she carried Bakemonagatari.
I dont mind Araragi either as the protag.
The show is such a strange beast.
Literally.
Should I check out Campione? I dropped after the first episode because I didn't enjoy the first episode.

What's a knob? Is that sexual because if you want to have sex with me, I'm not ready yet. Also, I'm not sure if you were thoroughly satisfied by my handling of the situation and closed the tab or if you found me repulsive and closed the tab :S
You'd do things you wouldn't, in good-conscience, do to a pillow like: put its casing on backwards, pee on it or replace the stuffing with bees.

Watch 13.
Standard battle harem really. Cool CG swords and wikipedia read battles, it's not very impressive. The harem antics don't help either.

For the first arc but have liked her less and less since, while everyone other than Snake Girl I like more and more.
Was this the battle that flashesoflight.gif came from? Because if so........no words.
Seriously, I'd be pissed if I hadn't seen Madoka and Dusk Maiden already. A "death scene of the year" category? dafuq?

If ever a kiss could get someone pregnant then it would have been the one in this show. It was a bit much but I enjoyed the series.
