Nothing this year will literally top this, but that's okay. Shows can be good (or bad) in very different ways.

I can certainly see it being AOTY for a lot of people, but I have a feeling recency effect will color the discussion in December.

ear, especially after seeing what spring and summer announcements hold.

If you put a gun to my head as far as anime this season go RIGHT NOW, it would be really tough between this and Pop Team Epic since despite the fact this show is leagues better in technical, writing, and showmanship, both have been on my mind about equally as much. Plus Darling in the Franxx might end up good, it's hooked me after a weak episode 1.

That's like the March comes in like a lion or Rakugo of the season though, aka everyone says it's good but nobody actually watched it, even if they should.

The "LotGH" of the year, if you would.

I mean yes but can you count enough people else watching it to use all your fingers and toes?

It won't be like Made in Abyss or Land of the Lustrous which have compelling fantastical elements to get the following it probably deserves, and it's on crunchyroll so access shouldn't be an issue.

it feels like a decent number of people with Blogs and stuff are recommending it and it has a non-zero amount of twitter fanart so some people will probably watch it

also, the discussion was the best show of the year quality-wise, not the show that will be voted best of the year by a jury of our peers

Crybaby and Antarctica are both real good, but I'll hand it to Crybaby thus far for staying on my mind so hard. Maybe by the end of the season my mind will change, though.

I love Pop Team Epic but it just doesn't have staying power in my mind like the other two I actually bother to watch this season.

Fair. I think Pop team epic had me by the metaphorical balls since I was a fan of the web comic and the anime had only expanded upon it for me and given an easier thing to share with friends who didn't initially "get" the comic.

I like how much Yuasa characters squash and stretch when they eat and drink.

I mean, I guess that you could argue theoretically that Ryo wasn’t gay, but only because it’s unclear how deep the Ryo personality is and how much Satan identifies as male (or what they identify as at all). Certainly not something you want to really go to bat for, though.

If Ryo is nonbinary due to being Satan that just makes Ryo/Akira an even gayer pairing

so when Ryo was a little Satan-tyke why were there a bunch of special ops soldiers there trying to kill him? Were they some sort of anti-Satan task force or were they just there to kill a bunch of indigenous people for shits and giggles?

Honestly, I assumed the latter. I wasn't exactly sure what was going on at that point in the story.

Finished watching Go Nagai World. I'd rank it just above the OVAs and just below Crybaby in terms of enjoyment. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did.

Now we're done diving through Devilman adaptations and it's time to wait for the preorder of the manga to come in.
