3. Yuri On Ice: I didn't watch any of this and I won't because it has no elements that interest me. I don't have a problem with the subject matter but it boggles my mind as to why anime fans found it so popular given usual proclivities.
so how does that make it the worst anime of the year if you didnt watch it

also anime fans liked yuri on ice because women watch anime and like hot dudes in skintight skating outfits flirting with each other

anyway uhhhhhh grimgar was the worst show i actually watched any of so i guess that

the first two eps were sort of interesting but the mage dude's death scene was handled so hamhandedly that i didnt want to keep watching. it's like, the only show i dropped this year.

1. Berserk had many faults, but the one thing that really blew it out of the water was the terrible CG direction. The #1 most common issue was a fixed FoV making everything too tight and square, especially when comparing to manga panels that, with a little fisheye, they could have nailed. An honest "Do you even know what the gently caress you're doing?" to the director and animators.

The director's actually really good, but he'd never worked in 3D before.

he's a talented director of fast, 2d, experimental comedies. his strengths are in quick cuts for comedic effect and frantic, exaggerated motion. those are definitely things berserk 2016 tries to do, it just fails because they don't know how to accomplish those things in 3d. check out the monogatari op he animated himself or any given ten seconds of teekyu for him playing to his strengths.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9wiuoRCcwE

he's done 2d action shows, like black cat and devil may cry, but they were similarly kind of dull and shot weirdly. It also seems like he's a very hands-on, 'i'll animate this shot myself' kind of director. (he animates Teekyu all by himself, and whenever he's brought in to pinch-hit he seems to do a lot of the work all by himself, like on Gurren Lagann or with that Monogatari opening), which naturally you can't do at all in 3D. I think he's just a guy who's good at comedy and not that great at dark action, and combine that with being unfamiliar with 3d and 3d limiting a lot of the things he likes to do, it's not hard to see why berserk 2016 didn't go down that smooth. He's not a hack or lazy, he just wasn't in a position to work to his strengths.

good point. honorary mention to kiznavier for having a good 2-3 episodes about the manga girl and basically nothing on either side of that.
the 2-3 eps about the manga girl were bad because they ended up with the implication that she was gonna be straight now

Princess tutu went above and beyond :colbert:
i think princess tutu was aimed at teenagers more than kids, the manga ran in a seinen magazine and while the show aired on Kids' Network that channel runs more teen-focused stuff late at night. And it ran on NHK too but I can't imagine it had an early morning timeslot.

the original show is barely animated, but 'ugly' isn't a word i'd use for a show with such great background art.

That'd be fine if he'd just up and asked for it, but the first 15 episodes was just them cleaning up his poo poo.
because he needs to get over himself enough to realize he has to ask for it. this is what's called a character arc.

konosuba and re:zero have almost nothing in common besides 'guy gets taken to fantasy world' so iunno why you keep making that comparison. One's a broad sex comedy, the other's a fairly serious action thriller. Konosuba's about how being a lovely person doesn't mean you can't enjoy the world around you, Re:Zero's about how a lovely person learns to stop being so lovely.

their premises aren't the same at all tho. konosuba doesn't even have the timeloop aspect that makes re:zero re:zero.
