So we all agree Youjo Senki and Mahoutsukai no Yome are the only real AOTY worth this year?
Whether you admit it or not anime like Kemono Friends is just memeshit, Dragon Maid, Eromanga are moegarbage pandering, and Fate Apocrypha, Symphogear are waifushit.
Kevin Price
Sounds about right but you forgot meme in abyss
Elijah Ross
>edgy meme loli >shoujo shit >aoty No.
Hudson Gomez
We all know who the real winner is.
Anthony Murphy
Gembutts is my AOTY It would be MiA if the middle episodes weren't so boring
Jeremiah Campbell
Little Witch Academia is AOTY. Youjo Senki and Ballroom e Yokoso are runners up. Mahoutsukai no Yome should have been in the ranking but Studio Wit's adaption is lacking.
James Davis
LWA
Matthew Ward
Good taste. Gembutts is easily AOTY for me.
Bentley Taylor
What's up with all these MnY fags hyping this shit up? Is it all trolls or does this series just have the worst fanbase at the moment?
David Fisher
I'd agree with you but you're a faggot so no
Luis Gutierrez
Mahoutsukai has been disappointing. The pacing is all over the place, a lot of the dramatic scenes have fallen flat, and there's too many scenes where you can tell they worked better in manga format than anime. It's still an okay show don't get me wrong, but that's mostly due to the source material being pretty good. As an adaption it's been pretty rocky.
Chase Adams
I like MnY but I don't get the hype, it's not that good.
Brandon Adams
This. OP is 12.
Caleb Smith
agree the manga had a bigger impact on me. i feel like the anime, despite it's INCREDIBLE production values, is suffering from a lack of direction to match the money being dumped into it.
David Cooper
Mahoujin Guru Guru
Christian Lopez
Same here. It's one of the better anime out there but it's not really something special, let alone the best anime of the season/year/century. I think I would like it much more if it didn't feel as much as a semi-otome as it does.
Joseph Adams
I'd give it to Made in Abyss
Xavier Smith
It's one of my favorite manga, but it's never been about the drama between the characters to me. It was about the world and the mythology. It feels like reading a short story about some mythic being in a warm room. Honestly the anime does it better than the manga.
It reminds me of Mushishi a lot. Meh episodic stories, but wrapped in such a way that it felt like sitting by a warm campfire listening to oral stories.
Joseph Parker
Inuyashiki is my AOTY. Every episode was consistently good.
Kayden Allen
Friends.
Bentley Nguyen
Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou was by far the best thing to come out of 2017
Ryder Wilson
>Honestly the anime does it better than the manga. you have a poor imagination. the manga is VIVID. and inspires more wonder than the anime.
Brandon Mitchell
Actually this is the only true post in the thread Uchouten Kazoku is amazing, but houseki no kuni deserves a mention as well
Leo Lewis
BANG
David Young
There haven't even been that many purely episodic stories in the anime so far.
Leo Butler
The anime has been an extremely faithful adaptation with art to match it, and the anime has a fantastic OST to boot. In my opinion, anime is just easier to get immersed into, and the adaptation takes full advantage of it.
I was referring to Mushishi's episodic nature, but Mahoutsukai does wrap everything up in 2 or 3 episodes. I think the cat arc and the wand arc were both 3 episodes.
no question. doesn't change the fact the DIRECTION has been subpar resulting in much of the impact from the source material FALLING FLAT.
Jose Lee
Fate Apocrypha is way better than the literally what anime you are posting
this is despite it being probably the weakest add to the fate series.
Ayden Nelson
This one and Rakugo 2 are my picks.
Eli Taylor
To anyone still wondering, any of the following options are correct: Kemono Friends Little Witch Academia Maid Dragon Sagrada Reset Sakura Quest Tsuki ga Kirei Made in Abyss Mahoujin Guru Guru 18if Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou Urahara Congratulations everyone and merry christmas!
Justin Howard
>missed based jii-san Now I feel embarrassed.
Kevin Taylor
It's very faithful yes, but I disagree with easier to get immersed into. The direction takes me out of it pretty often. There's been some well done episodes but it's been more misses than hits
Easton Wilson
Don't include Youjo Senki with Mahoyome please. It was not even half as good.
Oliver Flores
Nah, MNY is overhyped shit.
John Reyes
>no Shingeki no Bahamut is the ending so bad it drops out of AOTY contention?
Easton Miller
Inuyashiki for me. Not often something makes me cry like that.
Elijah Sullivan
Reminder that YSfags are invaders from you-know-where.
Sounds like you enjoy shounen trash/edgelord shit the most, op. Post again until you get better taste, or you cease being 13yrs old
Henry Jenkins
Mahoutsukai is great, I didn't really enjoy Youjo as much as I thought I would, Japan's fetish with Nazis and Nazi Germany gets a bit bland for me.
Julian Hughes
The only anime I saw that was AOTY-worthy was Night Is Short, Walk on Girl. And even then, it wasn't amazing or anything.
Camden James
Youjo Senki was the best directed anime of the year that's for sure. I see how not everyone would like the story but man, this show had perfect flow during the whole season despite the first episode.
Mason Lewis
For me it's between this and Tsuki ga Kirei.
Michael Roberts
Either 3-gatsu or Uchouten for me.
Elijah Edwards
>only 3 series are actually good user...
Matthew Watson
>implying you actually watched more than 3
Tyler Johnson
both not even aots fuck off
Luke Price
>oh fuck someone disagrees with me >think up a pathetic response That's pretty pathetic my dude
Adrian Cook
Mahoutsukai no Yome is the only show from this season that I actually fell asleep watching.
Gabriel Perez
Replace Youjo Sneki with Made in Abyss and you got the only legit AOTY
Elijah Garcia
Not going to lie, really enjoyed bone husband and super depressed gf, even though it can get really sad during some points.
Luke Williams
>meme meme meme You're a faggot and I really hope you kill yourself. May you learn how to actually form sentences and maybe even have taste for the next year. Merry Christmas.
