The only thing on the wiki that I care at all about is the best/worst lists, and I just kind of assume that Polsy has those stashed away if I need them.

i think that it's nice to have those lists around somewhere public so that people can see what's "good" for years they may have been out of it. but since that's sort of the only purpose of the wiki i don't care if the wiki survives, so long as those lists survive.

The wiki got me to watch Kimi Ni Todoke when otherwise I wouldn't so it is a treasure.

I just looked at it and someone replaced it with My Love Story, burn it to the ground.

Re:Zero
Yuri on Ice

I figure there's no point writing about them at this point, but my top 5 was pretty easy this year because I was also too busy to actually finish many shows!!!!

Oh actually, while I liked Yuri on Ice it's pretty borderline... It would probably be replaced by something if I ever finish half the shows I started.

so uh, honestly, wtf is gonna happen with the adtrwiki now the thread for it is in archives, the capcha for account generation is broken and presumably whoever managed it is long gone

Pierson and/or (more obviously) Nate still posts on the forums, but yeah if nobody is really interested in using it might as well let it quietly fade away. I or anyone else can maintain a best/worst page (is there even a page on the wiki for the worst shows?)

My involvement was mostly a serendipitous occasion where I just happened to get tasked with approving people (I don't really remember why) and then just never stopped since no one told me to. I don't know any of the inner workings or technical sides of the wiki.

E: Personally I feel the Anime Rec thread has more or less taken on the role the wiki originally provided. Keeping the Best/Worst lists and maybe the "New to anime?" stuff might be worth it though.

The anime rec thread consists of people responding to someone's tastes personally, which is more useful than the canned recommendations of the wiki could ever be simply as a matter of format.

Well, at least potentially more useful, there's always that certain element of IT'S NOT WHAT YOU ASKED FOR, BUT...

The latest non-seasonal thing, I'd think, or it'd just get clogged with current stuff that's better talked about in the seasonal threads/their own presumably active threads.

rate a show you finished seems fine, no seasonal restrictions needed since I don't think people post a lot of conclusive thoughts elsewhere anyway

I'm up to episode 7 or so of FlipFlappers and I didn't expect the feelings the dementia episode gave me. Didn't think it was the show to broach that subject but it was good.

It's not like you have to score it, just give a review. Talk about what you liked or didn't like. Talk about interesting aspects of the show that make it worth taking/not worth taking a look at.

Buglord
Best of 2016

Tonkatsu DJ Agetarou - Chill out
Please Tell Me! Galko-chan - The way it avoids making the characters stereotypical is admirable. A realistic and funny take on puberty.
Thunderbolt Fantasy - A thoroughly enjoyable Wuxia story told with great puppeteering.
Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash - The way the party struggled and overcame it really stuck with me. Also the quiet desperation of the lives in the world at times. And beautiful backgrounds.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable - Jojos is great, and this is my favorite part. Some of the best characters in all of Jojo.

Lots of great shorts this year. Lot of great anime this year.

Stuff that I also enjoyed:
Sekkou Boys
Keijo!!!!!!!!
Netoge / And You Thought There is Never a Girl Online?
Konosuba
Mayoiga / The Lost Village
Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans
Osomatsu-san
Re:Zero
Shokugeki no Soma season 2
Teekyu - s7 & s8

If Mayoiga or Iron Blooded Orphans had a stronger ending, they would have made my list.

This year Jojo:DiU was the best, then Mob Psycho 100, then Shouwa Genroku blah blah... I can never remember the whole name.

Hibike, My Hero Academia, ReZero and Erased were also pretty good.

If Your Name counts that might be like right next to Jojo, I actually went to see it twice in theatres so that has to count for something.

Also Thunderbolt Fantasy was dope but is that anime?????????
