What was the best anime released in 2003?
http://www.strawpoll.me/10235040
Galaxy Angel
new strawpoll sucks ass
What was so good about the Animatrix?
Holy shit, so many good anime came out in 2003. Texhnolyze, Gunslinger Girl, Kaleido Star, Fumoffu, even KGNE was pretty decent
Kino a shit
It's interesting that Wolf's rain and Texhnolyze came out the same year.
No Bottle Fairy, Nanaka 6/17, Wandaba Style, Twin Spica or Narue no Sekai?
At least one anon here has good taste.
Texhnolyze for sure.
Still doesn't get the praise it deserves.
>>141635930

>>141635930
2003 was such a bad year, not only did we get Kimi ga Nozomu Eien but also the worst possible adaption of Tsukihime
As much as people like to meme about it not existing Turkeyhandle is better than most of the shit this season.
>>141638179
>kids born that year are now becoming teenagers and may already be browsing
>mfw results
I wonder what /a/ would think if those shows aired today.
I'm sure Texhnolyze would be decried as 2deep4u shit and left in the gutter, while everyone would be shipping the living shit out of Onegai Twins.
Huh, 2003 was a pretty good year.

All of these aired in a single year. Today we're lucky to get even one such high quality show per year.
>>141638458
This season is great though. You should have said that last season.
>>141638458
God, imagine KGNE aired today.
/a/ would be in a fucking shitstorm with the all the NTRs.

>kino's journey vs planetes
Damn, I wish I could just tie them. There were some other great shows that year but really if you vote something over either of those two you're disqualified from anime. Forever.
>>141638458
>>141636977
KGNE is legitimately awful, what the fuck are you on about? I've never even seen anyone try to praise it before.
>>141638568
Well it does make you feel awful, but KGNE makes me angry in a very unique way. Very few dramas do that. For example I feel that the drama in Nagi no Asukara is nothing compared to KGNE's level of NTR.
Obviously I'm a sucker for heart-wrenching shitty soap dramas, but it does its job very well which is why I think it was a great show, especially considering it's a VN adaptation.
>>141638568
>He didn't cry to the picturebook scene

>>141638466
>being this content with utter mediocrity
Years of following anime seasons has plummeted your standards to this point.
People forget how big and open a medium like animation really can be and are content with what the industry shoves out seasonally.

>>141638564
Kino had great stories but the concept with the mostly observing and non-interacting MC felt too static. And the talking bike was a mood killer.
Planetes had a great first half with some delightful comical scenes, then it became overwrought hit-and-miss drama. Never saw an anime shooting itself in the foot so badly.
My vote goes to Texhnolyze. Also, 2002 > 2003.
Planetes.
Cromarie, Kino, Texhnolyze and Planates. What an amazing year.
>>141638822
Kino's LNs are honestly a lot more fun to read than the anime is to watch. But it will always hold a place in my heart. I would love a "season two" with some other stories adapted.
A Troublesome Land should be made into a movie.
https://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Kino_no_Tabi:Volume7_Chapter1
What exactly was/is the appeal of Cromartie?
I thought it was very boring.
>>141638960
It was somewhat funny, although with a certain subset of watchers. I'd say some people liked it just because of its art style, Mechazawa and Freddy.
Winter 2003 AOTS = Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto
Spring 2003 AOTS = Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World
Summer 2003 AOTS = Fullmetal Panic? Fumoffu
Fall 2003 AOTS = Kimi ga Nozomu Eien (AOTY)
2003 best OVA = Daiakuji
2003 best movie =Tokyo Godfathers
>>141638995
The original was good.
Why was Senpai the Silver Wing so bad?
>>141638919
2002 was even more amazing though.
>Azumanga Daioh, Haibane Renmei (AOTY), Abenobashi, Princess Tutu, YKK2...
>>141636924

>>141639113

To think I would be forced to choose between these three.
>>141636924
Kid's Story is the best thing you can take away from that. Beyond is the second best thing.
World Record a close third.
>>141635930

Kimi ga Nozomu Eien was horrible in every way whatsoever
Shitty animation, horrible plot, retarded characters that could've easily solved their "problems" but instead chose to mope and cry and do nothing
It is one of the few things I watched that I genuinely regret ever having seen in my life as it has absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever

Old FMA, definitely. It's still one of the best shounen series (and if someone try mentioning Brotherhood, I'll fucking kill your waifu for having shit taste)
Planetes had an atrocious start that I just can't forgive and some later drama wasn't very convincing.
Texhnolyze wasn't bad, but it definitely was pretentious in an artsy way at least a bit and hipsterish.
Kino is pretty boring t b h f a m
Fumoffu for sure. I can't find any anime that are even close to as funny.

Woah, careful. All the people whose first anime was Haruhi will get mad.
It was a triple tie for me between Scrapped Princess, Cromartie and Fumoffu, but taking into account the buildup of the story, the plot and the likability of the characters, I ended up with Scrapped Princess.
Cromartie was great no doubt, but it took a bit of effort to get into the zone, while Fumoffu had great highs but had some questionable moments in between (the rich kid for example).
Special mention to KGNE because I was heavily invested into it emotionally (even had usernames and such referencing it), but the ending was lacklustre, and ruined it for me overall.

It stops being boring once you reach your mid 20s and starts being a lot more relatable. Rewatch it when you're older.
So /a/'s AOTY of 2003 was FMA?
Pretty bland choice.
>>141677478
That's an interesting way to interpret 13% of the vote (that Kino's Journey also has as of this post)
The only way to decide an anime of the year would be to run a voting system with multiple preferences to build enough consensus whereby a single entry reaches 50%. Or a tournament style vote.
This poll is entirely inconclusive.

Is it actually true that anime is shit these days?
>>141647376
Actually found that on my HDD the other day. Must have watched it but don't remember anything about it.
>>141635930
IT WAS A GOOD YEAR
LAST EXILE, PLANETES, ROD, GUNGRAVE, FUMOFFU, TEXHNOLYZE
ANIMATRIX DOESN'T REALLY COUNT BUT IT HAD AMAZING SHORTS, PARTICULARLY FROM STUDIO 4C
>>141635930
Man 2003 was a great year for Anime.
>>141647376
I don't get it. When does Hiro contact the AU version of Ichiru?

Stop shouting, moron.

There was an anime boom around 2006 to 2008 so there's a void realm of neglected anime that usually only get mentioned in a "anime only you remember" thread. than it stabilized a bit but of course the more anime made per season the more mediocrity prevails.

Literal cancer. You are part of the reason this place is shit.
Would gits SAC be considered 2002 or 2003?
Will there ever be a show that manages to top Texhnolyze?

I couldn't choose Planetes since I'm still in the middle of it but I love it a lot. I went with Kino though.

TEXHNOLYZE WAS A SELF AWARE GRIMDARK EDGEFEST
I'D RATHER BLAME! FOR THAT GENRE
WHICH HAD ANIMATED LOGS ALSO RELEASED IN 2003, BUT OPS LIST DOESN'T HAVE IT, CUS HE'S A PLEB
>>141687466
What have I done to anger you
Kino's Journey. There is just something special about it.
>>141687665
PLEBS CAN LEARN, BUT THEY NEED TO BE TAUGHT
>>141635930
What's so great about Kino?
>fucking children actually voting up shonenshit
Please fucking kill yourselves already
No wonder /a/ is so shitty all the time, this is direct confirmation of underage
>>141671279
I guess a lot of people just have shit taste. I'd put hxh, cromartie, rod, fumoffu, planetes and probably gungrave above it.
