So Hibike is officially /a/'s AOTY since we should ignore OPM.
Thoughts?
it should be everyone's aoty, no other tv show came even close
>reddit likes an anime
>we're just going to ignore it!
I'm watching it now. Holy fuck is it good. I'm starting to think modern KyoAnifags might be onto something.
I approve.
>>135694218
No. NNB is.
>>135694305
Literally no better than /v/ at this point, honestly.
I am Ok with that decision. Kumiko is certainly the best character of the year and my waifu.

How low did we fall?
>>135694395
It was the best of a bad year
>>135694395
tv anime would be in a much better state if eupho were the average
>>135694218
I agree, I've been finding myself watching snippets of each episode often, it's fucking great.
>>135694319
NNB was terrible even as Iyashikei. It was just escapism. A security blanket for manchildren. And waifushit clashes with the genre, so autistic waifufags can buy it.
How many times do I have to tell you to quit calling it Hibike?
>>135694391

I liked nnb repeat more.
>>135694218
Well, it was the best show last year indeed.
Will Kumiko turn out as cute as her sister when she gets older?
>>135694508
Kinmoza is not good.
As for ignoring OPM, that's fine. Just like in statistics you ignore the outliers. Since it was very popular with normies too you can't really call it /a/'s AOTY, since most of them probably skewed the survey results as well, wanting to make their opinion known.
>>135694508

>>135694531
I liked it too but I was definitely more impressed with Eupho.

It was pretty good actually.

>>135694708
It was ok, better than Hyouka, Free! or Amagi Brilliant Park at least, not the best shit in the world but solid enough to be the best in a mediocre year.
Would /a/ date her?

Hyouka is the 2nd greatest TV anime of the decade.

Well that's stupid, I'd also consider some of the animator expos as contenders.

The lighting and sound design is what pushes it up there for me.
>nice of you to flaunt your oh-so-patrish taste though
Nice of you to assume everyone who really cares about animation and wants to share it with others is just showing off.
>>135696041
Actually they love it.
>>135696077
>Well that's stupid
No it isn't. Shorts are an entirely different medium from episodic series. The expectations and possibilities are completely different, so comparing the two is pointless.
give me one good reason why OPM shouldn't be AOTY besides
What's OPM?
Output per man?
>>135696162
Because Hibike exist and its better on every points.
>>135694218
2nd half of Shirobako was still better.
I guess no one remembers it since it was airing in the winter.
>>135696162
Because it's unfunny shit with no substance
>>135696026
not that guy but there was very little "social commentary" in the show
like, there were some meaningful moments but they occur in isolation, fragments of a larger picture which lacks any kind of cohesive commentary
>>135696077
you ARE showing off though
I bet if I were to look your list would be an exact copy paste job from that one blog's end of year list
that aside, cyclone is what I was most impressed by this year too, but I'm not so silly as to go about comparing independently animated music videos to full length commercially produced television

>>135696209
>I have no sense of humor
>>135696202
It's a shame people forgot considering how liked it was when it was airing.
>>135696162
outside of a few cuts per episode I really don't think it's anything all that special
the humour is definitely funny but the comedic timing I felt was off, and there was little to no character animation at all
it's just a regular old superhero show which thrives on building "hype"
Did that anon who was taking a survey for aoty before Christmas ever post the results?
>>135696250
Sure I do anon, comedy is one of my favorite genres actually
>>135696199

Ah, OPM means one punch man?
Then you don't have to ignore it, without that, Hibike is easily aoty, clearly

He gave up and post the spreadsheet on /a/, it was spammed to death with OPM anyway.

well if you want the official Nico anime ranking for 2015 which counts the second half of Shirobako as 2015
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm27918547
01. 933 Shirobako
02. 643 Hibike! Euphonium

05. 285 Non Non Biyori Repeat
06. 280 Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso
07. 250 Overlord
08. 229 Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata
09. 228 Soukyuu no Fafner: Dead Aggressor - Exodus
10. 191 Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry
I think we could agree on this top 5

>>135696469
totally possible, what else is a big name tv show this year?
>>135696481
Then you should now that people aren't watching TV anime purely for animation, just like people don't watch movies purely for cinematography
>>135696469
>>135696469
Only if FMP don't air this year.
It already have the 2015 Aoty though.
>>135694218
No. Shirobako and OPM are both better in what they set out to do.
>>135696523
OPM set out to be garbage then?
>>135696339
Oh man everything is always botched.
If OPM one by fair and square votes I'd accept it but if it's spammed then we'll never know.

watched it, was shit. kyoani shat all over everyone this year
>>135696523
Shirobako's a '14 show imo. If it's '15 it is hands-down AOTY, but I think we generally agree it's '14 because of its start date.
>>135696686
have you watched all of it or just the OVA?
I couldn't stand all those shots on pigeon-toed fidgetty feet.
Was more annoying and retarded than kawaii.
>>135696665
I watched it, and it was awsome, but Hibike was better.

I did not care much for Prison School or Overlord. A couple of those I have not seen.
Honestly my tops would be Euphonium then OPM.
>>135696513
>he watches non-abstract film
Prison School
Overlord
One Punch man
Death Parade
Shimoneta
Those are top 5 of the year.
I go off mostly creativity and not moeshit factor.
I also don't go to Reddit so this list is completely unbiased and genuine.
>>135696745
Everything that wasn't Shirobako was shit.
>>135696745
Only hibikek. OPM is great and shirobako is mediocre at best.
>>135694218
Anyone who says otherwise is likely a crossboarder. It has the best writing this year, and hands down the best cinematography I've seen out of any anime I've watched.

Fate is kinda controversial, not sure it's that good. And it wasnt really liked that well either.
On the other note, what was the last good show that was popular?

>LN adaption

Yeah KyoAni are such good writers by directly copying a story made by someone else.

>Not liking Kyoani's Whiplash
Shit taste desu sempai
out of what i watched this year (still missing stuff like lupin) euphonium was the one i liked the most.
i really liked rokka no sales too, but i can't really say it was as good as (or better than) eupho.
