Now, this here: I would totally agree with you on the former and support your crusade for the latter... if it was an average-to-good year for anime and all. Because, as insanely good as it is, there is/was a lot of great anime this year, and honestly it's hard to make such a call. Especially given the fact that (say it with me now) there were an rear end-TON of great anime shows this year. It'd be like saying "David Bowie put out the best album in 2016! gently caress you, half-deaf poo poo-munchers who also enjoy a little piss on the side!" last year. I mean, it was a pretty drat good record and a reminder that Mister Jones was an insanely talented man who also surrounded himself with equal parts talented and hard-working musicians, but it honestly was not the best record from 2016, even if it was a strong contender.

It was me. I did that statement about Bowie's record, especially after I saw it get snubbed against the least interesting record Twenty One Pilots made. I also may have or may have not also thrown my shoes at an amp in an impotent display of disagreement against "those skull-hosed dipshits" from Billboard. :cripes: Don't pull a Wark, Colonel. Be a better Goon... I mean Goonette. :D

no i'm going to say that i really like the thing a lot

this was a really good year for anime but houseki no kuni is the best thing i've seen this year, imo, and i hold it in really really high regard. it knocked lwa and girls last tour off the number one spot in my top five, and i wish to say it

poo poo, I forgot to include that last part! :cheeky:

Like, yeah, if it's your favorite anime of this year, I totally understand that. Hell, I can objectively say that it kicked the asses of what was going to be my 3rd and 4th place on the top 5 thing, but I'm not sure if it's "Best Anime of all time" material.

Oh, well. You already quoted my post.

Aside from the fact that both my daughter and yours truly just engulfed four ridiculously-sized burgers and we are, as a result, stuffed, everything is super in Casa Say. :)

I missed her terribly because it's just not the same thing to Skype once or twice a week than it is to actually hang out with her. Also, that new Will Smith movie on Netflix does not suck completely, so yeah.

Having just started Garo: Vanishing Line is there really no thread for it, or for the Garo franchise given that it seems to basically be continuous? Was it just not popular enough to sustain conversation or something?

Garo started as a tokusatsu series, and has had a few sequels since.

I'm aware. I've seen several of the tokusatsu shows and considered asking this in the the toku thread for that reason. I fell off over time since some of the sequels weren't that great but I hear Vanishing Line and the original anime are good so I'm jumping back in. I'm just curious if it's that unpopular or something? It presumably could have it's own separate thread since some of the older toku shows did if I recall and I'm pretty sure the first anime season did too.

I feel like it's just that these days there have been more and more decent shows not getting a thread of their own, that's all.
