Hello Best Anime 2015 thread, you made me watch Shirobako these past few days. I doubt anybody gives a poo poo, but I'd like to recast my vote to include Shirobako instead of Prison School. Sorry, Prison School. Shirobako caused feels that were too powerful.

Done. All glory to Shirobako. I seriously can't think of anything wrong with this show. (...okay, new animator girl in the later half was annoying. Oh well.) It's not even a little bit spiteful, and even though the shows they're making look like run-of-the-mill standard fare (...are they? Still gotta check out the additional episodes), I've never been so invested in the fate of an, uh, anime's anime. May not beat One Punch Man for me personally, but oh well, ranking's meaningless in the top 5 anyway. ... ...my favorite character was Taro, because he's every annoying office dude you've ever known rolled into one, yet he grows on you

1) Shirobako 2) Ore Monogatari!! 3) Hibike! Euphonium 4) One Punch Man 5) Maria the Virgin Witch Other near top-5's: Shimoneta Prison School JoJo Egypt Arc Gatchaman CROWDS Insight Gundam Reconguista in G kinda regret dropping off on a bunch of shows this year, since they'd probably be good contenders/i'm seeing them on other posters' lists.

#1 Shirobako I had forgotten that Shirobako was this year, because all I remember is that it's been too long since Shirobako. Going into it I was afraid it would end up being a really boring show that just drowns the viewer in an experts wealth of knowledge about the industry, but it actually has some relate-able conflicts going on and mentions just enough about the actual processes involved to remain interesting. And in no particular order: One Punch Man A loving parody that often manages to be a better fightmans than the material it makes fun of. Some good jokes and some pretty sweet animation too. Ore Monogatari!! Has an adorable couple and the best bro. Snow White with the Red Hair It was pretty chill. Gatchaman Crowds Insight Fun to watch and had some good music.

Determining my top five was way easier than bringing them into an order would be so here they are more or less ordered by how much I was looking forward to the next ep: #5: Hibike! Euphonium (Sound! Euphonium) A good Kyoani show. #4 Gundam Reconguista in G Weird. Fast-paced. Great. #3: Gakkou Gurashi (School-Live) I wouldn't have expected to watch a cute school girl show with so much dread. It's also one of the few where I didn't skip the opening. #2: Akagami no Shirayukihime (Snow White with the Red Hair) Sometimes you just want to watch a cool (and cute) girl getting together with a cute (and cool) guy. #1: Shirobako. See basically all other posts. Honourable mentions: Arslan Senki (The Heroic Legend of Arslan): A sprawling epos, a bit too drawn out, but that's fantasy history for you. Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken s2: Not as cringe-inducing as S1 but cute. Kekkai Sensen (Blood Blockade Battlefront): Super cool, but I think they could have removed most of the anime-original drama, and paced it a bit slower. Rolling Girls: It's a pretty weird little anime and the side-characters tended to be cooler than the main characters, but it had heart. Sore ga Seiyuu (Seiyu's Life): Do you want a drill down into the profession of that girl that was slipping into alcoholism and depression in Shirobako? Here's the anime for you. Teekyuu s4+s5+s6: How do they manage to keep this up for so long? Oh, probably because the opening is longer than the episode, which is good because that's the perfect amount of insane jokes. Wakakozake: Probably the best of the rest, and the one with the most impact on my daily life.

1. One Punch Man 2. Fate Stay Night 3. Shirobako I don't watch a whole lot of anime, but I always make sure to check in to the best-of thread to see what I might have missed on for the year. Shirobako is not an anime I would normally give a second glance to, but since so many goons said they'd like it, I decided to give it a chance. My eyes started rolling into the back of my head as soon as the high school girl main characters were introduced and I *almost* shut it off, but I'm really glad that I didn't. When Zuka stops the main character from introducing her to the bosses of the studio and then finally gets her role at the end, I got legit choked up. I got some time off for the holidays so I went to check out one of the other popular choices, the Euphonium anime. Sorry, I can't do it, I'm allergic to this kind of stuff. And I even watched all of Haruhi. Maybe next year!

going by his dumb-rear end reaction to the part of shirobako where the protagonists are high schoolers for two minutes, he probably only watched two minutes of euphonium, and saw GIRLS so he turned it off

While there's a lot of moe that's clearly a niche kind of thing, I think they probably would like a lot of it if given a chance considering they got through ShiroBako. It would be good for their soul get to over their prejudices.

Yeah, highschool-girl-centric anime is not my favorite genre. And without this thread I would have Nope'd right out of Shirobako after the do-do-donut cheer, but because of you goons, I stuck with it and ended up enjoying a wonderful series, so thanks! BTW, the same thing happened in years past with Haruhi, Toradora, Madoka Magica, and Chihayafuru. kickascii fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Dec 26, 2015 |

I think I read it somewhere in the resident Shirobako thread: "Shirobako is made by idealists trying to be realistic". Sounds true. They're not exactly sugarcoating it, especially when it comes to the damage a lack of professionalism can do, but the show is never bitter. I really liked that hopeful realism, or whatever you want to call it. Can't help but be swept up in it, very soothing. Go do your dumb doughnut anime pose, you've earned it.

Motto posted:lol, "the protagonist is a girl" isn't a genre Nope. But moe-centric poo poo is...well, poo poo. There, I said it. I probably wouldn't have given Madoka a second thought if episode 3 didn't end the way it did. And I probably wouldn't have gotten past the first episode of Shirobako if it was just K-On! with anime instead of music. K-On! failed the 3 episode test for me. You may now bask in your hatred of me.

I think it's fine deciding you don't like something enough to keep watching after a few episodes, but not liking K-On should be a crime, IMO.
