It'd be easy to just write the same thing I did in my post for the Best Anime of 2015, but I'm gonna put some (small) effort to this:

  1. Rokka no Yuusha: That ending was goddawful. Seriously, gently caress this show.
  2. Chaos Dragon: This was a no-brainer. It's really easy to screw up the narrative of an RPG session. It's as if Hajime Kanzaka taught us nothing.
  3. Dragon Ball Super: The 2 movies were okay in that feel-good rose-colored drive down memory lane. This is a poo poo-shower.

Dishonorable mentions:
  • Psycho Pass Movie: For all this had going for it, it was still really boring. Get it together, Urobuchi!
  • Gangsta: A sad descent into a wet fart of a conclusion.

Oh! And I forgot one more thing: The male singer from Ling Toshite Shigure gets on your nerves really fast.

Owari is great, but it's kind of a drag because you do need to have some investment in the -monogatari series as a whole. And we're talking about 77 episodes so far, plus 12 more coming along with at least 2 if not 3 movies.

That's a pretty big investment for most people. That's close to the run time of the LoGH main series.

Yoshiyuki Tomino's opinions on the latest Gundam show.

Did Tomino the Killer came back? Or is it just grumpy ol' Tomino?

I'm sorry for starting this derail can someone please vote for something now

Most avoided show:

Cross Ange: After watching the 1st episode, I decided that it wasn't for me, and not even cool new songs by Nana Mizuki were going to convince me otherwise. Then my daughter started watching the show and she thought it would be cool to make it part of that chunk of time where we watch stuff together and then play video games. She got bored of it at around episode 9 and we started watching Hunter x Hunter instead.

I was mostly talking about how everyone used that one fake interview with him to say that he hated Gundam SEED with the burning passion of a thousand suns. Don't know if he's said anything about Gundam: IBO (which is good and does not belong in this thread).

Ah, old stuff. I enjoyed the interviews he gave to Newtype about disliking the way most voice actors from these few past generations tend to sound really samey and how the new Gundam (at the time; the one he made) was more for newer generations and that maybe the old guard might not dig it.

I remember one of my boys over there actually commenting on it during this one chat and how he wishes to never be on Tomino's shitlist.

i think it was that the male lead was actually brainwashed to love the female lead (who has super intense trust issues), at some point before they met. their relationship was a really :3: thing to come out of the show.

Oh, gently caress you, Ishio Yamagata. Why didn't you stay in your wheelhouse?

Nostalgia actually makes the show even worse - you sit there fondly remembering the old show while the new one does its best to strip out all of the charm from the series. Adapting the manga isn't a bad idea, but doing it as fast as possible - to the point of stripping out some content - with bad animation is a recipe for disaster.

Wait, they actually took stuff OUT? Isn't the manga... like, 15 or 16 volumes? They could've made it like Stardust Crusaders which actually added neat stuff.
