So that's another season in the books friends, and with it, effectively another year, inconveniently-timed OVAs and the like aside
my resolution for 2018 was to watch more tv shows from the 1980s, I watched nothing MAL would classify as a TV show but I did watch a good number of OVAs, so I'll call it a half-win
on the whole I'd say 2018 ranks above 2017 - my grades don't show it yet but most of the 2018 movies won't be on the internet for a while keeping its score down. 2018 may have had a couple of flops but it also had over a dozen fulll length shows I gave an 8 or higher which hadn't happened since 2012. Either way, we're still out of the nadir we were in for 2015/16.
cutes of the year:
1. sophie twilight - her show may not have lived up to my expectations but she absolutely did
2. i guess other girls were cute
okay
2. hannen hiroe (tracksuit slob from slow start, i love her)
3. mitsuboshi yui, protect with your life
4. kokona is always extremely good and cute as long as they aren't undressing her for no reason
5. miss beelzebub mofu mofu
6. teresa wagner (tadakoi, why does it feel like this show was so long ago)
7. li'l platelet
8. kamuri (slow start)
9. medusa (jashin) actually wait what was with this year
10. hazuki (marchen madchen) braces for impact
bestgirl of the year
1. claire thomas happened, you guys know me by now
2. Pikari is always a high-level bestgirl
live mom of the year
1. claire thomas's mom
2. sacchan's mom, loses points for such an average kid
dead mom of the year (...what the hell japan)
1. misha's mom
2. special week's mom
3. shirase's mom, probably did some good work for science
best game of twister:
uma musume had one of these, for some reason
AOTY
1. Yurucamp/\- Caused the first change in my anime favorites in over five years, I thought it was going to be some middling of the pack generic kiraras entry but my god I love it. It's tough to imagine season 2 will be as refreshingly good but I'd settle for an 8/10
2. Grand Blue
3. Mitsuboshi Colors
4. Jojo Part 5
5. Hero Academia 3
6. Zombieland Saga
7. Persona 5 (not a sequel)
8. Anima Yell
9. Attack on Titan 3
Anise_Punter said:there's no way uma musume can finish in my yearly top 10 is there
please tell me this isn't going to happen
/watches megalobox, bunnygirl senpai and index III repeatedly, hoping for something to justify moving them upwards a bit more
//picks up like five anime at the last second hoping any of them are any good
Past me, I promise, I tried as hard as I could to prevent this. In only 385 days, I went from "what the hell is that" to "oh yeah that's one of my ten favorite anime of 2018".
10. Uma Musume Pretty Derby
May God have mercy on us all. |
