tbh i wouldnt be surprised if they cut best couple just so they weren't accidentally advocating pedophilia again

though apparently the initial draft of the poll that they sent out to other anime news sites had nanashi from MiA as an option for best girl, even though nanashi isnt gendered :thinking:

one of the best couple nominees was the guy from erased, whos a 30 year old who gets brought back in time to his child self, and the like ten year old girl hes trying to save. he specifically tells himself that he has to erase whatever crush he had on her at that time from his mind because itd be insanely hosed up for him to even blush while looking at her. best couple.

fine.

1. sachie and kaneko


kaneko was just your average girl, part of a schoolband and always hungry. then sachie came into her life and they developed a beautiful relationship. always ready to help a 'good friend' sachie is here, queer and ready to jam hijiki in .... her

2. viktoriya and potato



i wish i was that potato

3. the various machiavelli lasses



in a world of weak willed lasses, i applaud the machiavelli girls for violently taking whats theirs

4. aho



now this girl knows what she wants. and its bananas. that's healthy

5. kaori and film club senpai



with its 7 year duration, this is one of the longest lasting relationships in anime and we can all applaud kaori and masaki for showing us all even men and sex dolls can have happy relationships. keep it up!

Maybe we should have a best continuing series category for anime that started before last year and are still going as of the end of the year.

I'd phrase it as anime that has aired at least 30 (or maybe 35 or 40) episodes in the year gone, and is expected to continue in the new year. Then it includes new long-running series that have had a good chance to prove themselves as well.

Oh I see! This must be the Bad Opinion Zone!
actually wait, let me use STATISTICS.

Well, now it's clear to see.



2017 was a year which was dominated by one question: how much did you like Magical Circle Guru. On the one side you had the Cool People, led by me, Fangz and a few others. On the other you have those behind the ACCA-Landlust line, which can only stare enviously at those with good taste in anime. We should not hate these pathetic wretches, only pity them, for they have not seen the glory of kukuri and juju and the buttsword and the naked dancing old men.

Let us throw them a bone and pretend we live in some awful wretched universe where Guruguru wasn't even in the top 10.



In that disgusting, sickening nightmare, forum users are mainly divided, in the horizontal axis, by what I'd call the Anime Strike Axis. On the left hand side you have the good and pure Crunchyrolls, and the on the right you have the hostages of the Amazon machine, which I suppose everyone on the right paid to watch legitimately because lol. The Crunchyroll side has two main groups of anime - the drama shows with adults, like Rakugo, ACCA, March..., and the you have the lighter more comedic shows, like Konosuba, MMO Junkie, Dragon maid. (The y-axis is probably a measure of grimdarkness or something, which checks out from what I hear of Rakugo.)

Anime strike had four main shows: Landlust, Made in Abyss, Princess Principal, Girl's Last Tour, with the last two fairly correlated in appeal.

As always, simplifying somewhat, people close to you on this are probably similar in taste, though the amazon-strike thing probably makes this year a little less meaningful than before.
