Tesagure was a pretty great show, but I just couldn't see it unseating any of my top 5 in the end.

None of my top 5 ended up in the top 10, but it was a fantastic year for anime on my end. Thanks for the incredibly hard work, Lucy.

Animes that showed up on both the good and bad lists with more than one mention in each:

Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken s2
Gate: Jieitai Kano Chi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri
Kekkai Sensen (Blood Blockade Battlefront)
Prison School
Rokka no Yuusha (Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers)
Yurikuma Arashi

Rokka (7 good/11 bad) and Yurikuma (4/9) are hands-down the most controversial of the year, which makes perfect sense.

This could indicate a lot of things depending on average ranking or the difference in how people who raked series versus people who didn't rank series felt. It definitely indicates a greater amount of hype and mainstream appeal on OPM's part, but I imagine that Shirobako was much more memorable in comparison (if this vote was done later, I'd imagine OPM might be ranked a little lower when weighted)

My Love Story went from beating Jojo to tying, which isn't surprising.

I'm too lazy to confirm my suspicions, but I'm pretty sure that One Punch Man and Jojo were closer to the middle of the pack at the start of the thread but got stronger and stronger as the nomies started posting. :patriot:

I'm remembering that Shirobako came out of nowhere, with no previous material to hype and not a lot of prestige attached to it, and went on to grab this huge audience of people who really love it. That's a good feel.

graybook: Oct 10, 2011; pinya~

As I noted, I had only tried Glasslip from PA Works before, and had dropped that 2 episodes in, partially because the new guy to the group was a gigantic tool-dick. Hadn't heard much good about it after that. And then when I read Shirobako's premise I was heavily unimpressed by the "anime about making anime" angle, thinking it was cheap and lazy.

I'm so glad I gave it a chance. I went ahead and started my rewatch last night and was amused at noticing the very out-of-focus Jiggly Jiggly Heaven still when Kinoshita was panicking at one point.

I remember reading the synopsis before it came out it seemed to be billing itself as a slice of life show about high school girls in an anime club, which is true of the first 5ish minutes of run time.

I feel bad for Yona. It was clearly hurt by excessive padding and at the end very little romance or plot movement despite a large amount of character development. Yona is IMO a stronger protagonist in a stronger setting with a better more well rounded love interest.

I feel bad for Yona. It was clearly hurt by excessive padding and at the end very little romance or plot movement despite a large amount of character development. Yona is IMO a stronger protagonist in a stronger setting with a better more well rounded love interest.

sa - same...????

but yona (the show and the character) gets much better in the manga, pretty much immediately where the anime left off.
