esselfortium posted:The World God Only Knows: There are so many shows on this list that I came back to and loved after initially dismissing them out of hand. "Dating sim-obsessed shut-in is forced against his will to use his game techniques to conquer girls in the real world" is a premise that could backfire in so many pandery ways, but TWGOK was great. The first two seasons were well-written comedies riffing on genre conventions, and then its third season took the whole show to another level by adding real emotional consequences to Keima's conquests. If you liked the anime you should really read the manga. The anime skips arguably the best arc, and while the ending is a bit weird and feels kinda rushed, it is still well worth seeing through.

esselfortium posted:Steins;Gate: I've often heard the first half of this show described as "boring until the plot picks up". I thought the first half was great fun! (The second half was also great!) I love a good time-travel story, and writing this one around the preexisting John Titor hoax was a brilliant move.

Evangelion 3.33 was the only thing I watched this year that wasn't from this year, so that, I guess.

Some of these might have been watched in late 2015. Plex doesn't tell me. Haibane Renmei: No joke, I watched this because of the art somebody slapped on a Hammock song on Youtube and because it had recently(?) gotten an HD rework. Sometimes the background scrolled at a higher framerate than the characters, which looked a little funny. "Shadow of the Colossus as gently caress in here" and other fun comments. Steins;Gate: Including the movie, solid. I read the real John Titor thread back in the day only a few days after he stopped posting. Developed a new love for nixie tubes and a new waifu. Magica Madoka: This might have aired before I started watching fansubs and nobody ever recommended it to me. I just finally got interested by all the seemingly humorous animosity for Kyubey. Zombies? Technically you're Liches. Snack shows: Shin Strange+:  Orenchi no Furo Jijou Only started Shirobako, will it count next year if I finish it? Still have Welcome To The NHK to watch too.

I watched all the Hidamari Sketches, Eccentric Family and Hanasaku Iroha and they were all absolutely fantastic but I think the best thing was probably Michiko e Hatchin It's such an excellent story

Watched all of the Kara no Kyoukai movies. They were pretty awesome. Usagi Drop, super endearing. Angel Beats.  I'm also in the process of watching NHK. It seems that it's been mentioned a couple of times already!

Endorph posted:birdy the mighty decode is literally the perfect anime nah maybe if they hadn't spend an entire season teasing that Sayaka remembered something and then never resolved it it's a real good show and probably the best non-2016 anime i watched this year but i'm still cheesed about that

I unknowingly went on a Kamiya Akira binge by watching both Urusei Yatsura (because I was curios from all the Lum avatars, thanks mystery Lum avatar buying person) and then Hokuto no Ken in 2016. I then read the entire Hokuto no Ken manga afterwards, and while it was quite good, I think the anime adaptation was actually better aside from a few too many recap episodes. I also just recently read the entirety of Angel Densetsu which was excellent, it reminds me of Jitsu wa Watashi wa in that it can reuse the same joke over and over again without it ever getting old. Put this down on the short list of mangas that I want to see adapted to anime but probably never will be aside from an old VHS ova.

I watched Dirty Pair, which was marvellous. Very 80s, very fun, riffs on quite a few familiar sci-fi tropes. Just nice, lighthearted space hijinx. And a great OP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTMe1vhUxh0 R-r-r-r-rushi-an rou-oureeeette!
