drat I haven’t watched as much anime as I used to due to finishing school and having a job that doesn’t allow me to stay up until 4am every night binging anime. 5. The Eccentric Family 2: A great anime about a family of Tanuki and how they interact with each other and society as a whole after the death of their influential father. Definitely one of the more thoughtful and heartwarming anime of the year and its themes are all winners. It’s a great follow up to the first season and I hope to see more of these characters in the future. 4. ACCA: A compelling story with intrigue and politics as it follows one man going around auditing(?) the different regions in his country. There is also lots of cigarettes, cake, and one of the best OPs ever. 3. Kubikiri Cycle: Aoiro Savant to Zaregototsukai (AKA Zaregoto): Not in the list provided in the op but it’s a 8 episode OVA that started in 2016 and finished this year. It’s an anime by Shaft and an adaption of a Niso Isin work which should give you a decent idea of what you are getting into. Yes, its kinda horny and gazey but not on the same level as -gatari, also the main girl is 19. Technically a murder mystery but I didn’t find that to be the main draw of the story. The main characters worldview and how his interactions with the other characters in the story challenge it where the real meat of the story lies. The 2 last episodes are things of beauty and totally worth experiencing. I had a hard time deciding between these two which was the best anime of the year. 2. March Comes in like Lion: A good anime about a sad boy who plays professional shogi. The highlight is definitely his interactions with three sisters who become a sort of surrogate family for him. Also how he deals with and handles his depression, isolation, and loneliness. The Shimada arc was great; focusing on what shogi means to him and what he has sacrificed to pursue his dreams. Absolutely amazing. 1. Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu: The biggest snub of last year. A great second half that focuses on the decline of Rakugo and how it manages stay afloat in a time when people have moved on. Also feelings of grief, resentment, and moving on. A masterpiece of storytelling. It’s portrayal of Rakugo, an art form I had no knowledge of prior to watching it, is completely fascinating and I wish it was more popular in the west. littleorv fucked around with this message at 19:31 on Dec 26, 2017 |

AnacondaHL posted:actually I don't have to do poo poo, and I'm not informing anyone of anything new, I just happen to see which votes are invalid because I count them up, and am happy to do the extra work to give people a second chance to vote because it's always so close. I'm sorry I voted for an OVA my friend.

Not part of my anime of the year list but I want to give a shoutout to the two Yuasa movies released this year; The Night is Short, Walk On Girl and Lu Over the Wall. Night is Short in particular is amazing while Lu has some really visually interesting sequences.
