Best 1. Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu My favorite show of all time, and it happened to come out in 2006. Humor, voice acting, suspense, music, drama, mystery... even romance, the show hits high notes in every category. At least... in original broadcast order. The reveals are perfectly timed to make for an engaging and satisfying learning process about the world in which the ensemble lives. 2. NHK ni Youkoso! Slightly depressing, but still a masterpiece as far as showing the growth of very deeply flawed characters. Like Haruhi, you're not given the full picture from the outset, but instead need to pick up the backstory in bits and pieces across the duration of the series, and unlike a lot of shows from that era it manages to wrap things up neatly with an extremely satisfying final arc and ending. Possibly my second favorite show of all time. Worst 2. Otoboku. Based on a porn VN, just with very juvenile humor and one of those overpowered harem main characters that manages to make every girl in the girl's school fall in love with him. Doesn't really add anything new, and the humor is long in the tooth. 1. Magikano Art is ugly, but the show is amusing enough for the first couple episodes or so as a light-hearted comedy. Sure, there are typical harem jokes, like a set of monster cat panties that chase the main character around for an episode, but the worst things in the initial half of the show are the hints of "a bit too much/a bit of the wrong type" affection from Haruo's sisters towards him. Then.. the show flips 180 degrees in the last couple episodes and turns into a dark and unforgiving horror show that, as I recall, ends with [spoiler]the main character's suicide[spoiler]. Not what I signed up fo. Unscored most avoided I'm not 100% sure myself, but I've managed to avoid watching Ouran High School Host Club for all of these years for some reason. Maybe this thread will be the thing to finally goad me into watching it. It's always been just on the edges of my attention as far as what to watch next. "Cantaloupe, you have to sign your checks 2017 now!" choice Seto no Hanayome. Makes me laugh my rear end off through its entire runtime every time that I watch it. 2007 though, so unrelated to this ranking.

z0glin Warchief posted:This sounded pretty nuts so I went to go read a spoiler for the ending, and apparently they're actually all trapped in a one year long time loop that nobody remembers, and the anime ends with a 90 second rewind of the entire series followed by the opening scene of the first episode. Oh, yeah, that's right. I watched it years ago, not sure where I got the idea I did. Anyway, it would almost certainly be on my "Worst of 2006-2016" list overall, but I must have blocked out some of my memories of the frustration I felt at the end.
