| It makes the weeaboos cry and cut themselves with it's westernized style. It's the complete opposite of the usual "deep" and "meaningful" stuff that a lot of anime try (but often fail) to aim at. It's crude, rude and just horrible in every single way. It kicks ass. Let me tell you, I first got introduced to this anime while lurking on 4chan. Saw some screenshots, immediately loved the art style and got interested. It was pretty late at night, so I was only half awake when I began streaming the first episode, having decided to watch it before falling asleep. The morning thereafter, I could hardly remember a thing about it. It felt like I had gotten drunk that evening and now woken up with a hang over. The only thing I could remember was that I had seen something mind blowing. So I rewatched it. And I loved every minute of it. Not only that, but it just kept on getting better episode after episode. The current episode that's out right now is number 6, and holy shit was it amazing. The animation, the style, the soundtrack, I love all of it. Wonderful work, Gainax. <3 Thank you for giving us something new and fresh. (Wow, never thought I'd refer to a show which goes through pretty much every single human bodily fluid as "fresh" but there you have it.) |

| Yeah, i knew about this series 'thanks' to 4ch*n and i get mixed impressions about the series. I though "this is gonna suck" and "this is gonna be awesome". Of course this anime got some awesome scenes (being the most awesome of all, the episode 6) and also has awesome music (damn, i want that OST). Anyways, i can call this series "one of the best anime of the year", but no "the anime of the year".... i think that's too much for this anime |
 Vrrrrroooooooommmm! |
| uhmm imho nope.. It obviously goes to FMA brotherhood by alot... |
| I don't know about anime of the year, but it has the OST of the year. |

It is far from anime of the year material if it can't even hold up on its own. GarLogan78 said: Definitely this. I don't know about anime of the year, but it has the OST of the year. Episode 6, Les Diaboliques (Sp?) Should win awards for screenplay/story boarding/ fight choreography. There isn't a single wasted word in that episode. then what is the best anime of the year then? oh and I disagree with your statement but it's only a matter of taste. everyone thinks differently. |
| Anime of the year? Far from it. I will say it does depend on the quality of the next episodes. Episode 6 and 7 were pretty good, but the rest of the show has shown a huge inconsistency in quality of entertainment. The show has good animation and OST, and the voice actors are pretty good (Engrish jokes are NOT funny. Period. If you find them funny, you should feel bad, because it's forced and doesn't have a real place). Recent episodes also demonstrated that they have ideas for action coming up and something that might be a plot direction. Previous episodes, this show lacked anything resembling a plot or real characters. Plus the comedy was TERRIBLE. Just the jokes in general were forced and irrelevant. And before you say crude humor can't be creative and relevant, watch South Park. Some of the crude sequences were cleverly animated though. At any rate as I stand, this show could be rated a 7, very small chance of an 8 if they manage to keep the quality of the recent episodes. Before then, I would have rated the show about a 5-6. |

| I doubt I can say it's the anime of the year, but it is definitely quite different from most anime in terms of art and stuff that happen in the series. |
| Well, it's not anime of the year, but it sure is one awesome show. I agree with you on almost every point OP, but I don't think this would be the best of 2010. |

ANIME SUCKS. HURRDURR I'M ON LAST.FM, MUSIC SUCKS. Anyway, it's okay. I mostly enjoy it for the Moe/Powerpuff Girls in Potty Humour. But it's not better than Shinryaku! Ika Musume. And it reminds me of why I so hate Gainax fans. They will lap up and garner positive attention in ANYTHING they do. And viciously defend it in the most trolling, offensive way possible. The type of people that I can sit down and watching something and say "hey, this is pretty good", and then after being expose to it's fanbase, go "wow, what a guilty pleasure. I am ashamed for liking this at all, is there any way I can stop?". |

| Is funny tat tis anime has some sort of energy tat keep u watching. Ya, some of the episode is so shit tat u really wan to kill yourself n hate Gainax for making something so stupidly shit. But sometime, some of the shit can let u call either EPIC or SHITY or FLCL or whatever u could say it. Cos it's different anime style? full of F? it's mature nature? I don't know. But somehow, Gainax was able to grab our attention to them. It u ask me how they do it? They are bunch of smart crazy lunatic tat done something different and special. |

Mortrialus said: No. Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood doesn't even stand up on its own as its own creative work.

It banks on the fact that you're already attached to the series prior to watching it. The first episode is a good start. I agree, everybody who watched FMA:B (72,692) should boycott it because they've sped up the parts we've (119,522) allready seen ! No but, srlsy, as for now, I bet there is only an tiny number of people who watched the second series first. I agree with you that in the original run the death of Hughes was really dramatic and emotiona because they had more time to develop the characters and make us love theml, on the other hand, a shitload of people wouldn't watch the first part of FMA:B (or buy the DVD) if it took ~30 episodes (a whole season) to get to the part that's fresh and new. For future generations: well, I don't care if they watch FMA:B first and then FMA. It's not like it reduces the shows quality or enjoyability so significantly that it'll lose it's position in the top 10 anime on MAL. |
| Yes, but the fanboys will say it was Angel Beats or Durarashitrarara... |
 |
| This show, this thread, run entirely by the power of penis. Hilarious. |
 |
| You're bad a judging people, stop thinking inside your box and take a look at my anime list. Wanna tell me that I watched Clannad, Evangelion, Perfect Blue, LOGH, Kimi no Todoke, Serial Experiments Lain, Air, Tokyo Magnitude or Revolutionary Girl Ultena for the fights? If I had to watch the first half of the first FMA again to see the new stuff happens, I think I'd say no and just skip to the part I don't already now. Anime (and TV in general) is supposed to be entertaining. And it's not like I have infinite time. |
| Never mind anime of the year, so far its one of my favourites of all time. OF ALL TIME! Its a hell of a lot better than all the generic school setting and ecchi anime that gets pumped out all the time. And it probably has one of the best OSTs I've ever heard. |
 I am proud to have Clannad as the only thing on my dropped list. |
| The problem with this being the best is that it caters to a very specific target audience. It is nearly impossible to compare all categories of anime and to arrive at a best of the year. FMA might be the best action. This might be the best comedy. Kimi Ni Todoke the best romance. In the end this is just a pointless argument between fans of different categories (most of them being for this show since they are on this part of the forum). Not that there is anything wrong with having an discussion with no answer. I would just like to point out that while it may be drastically different this is a western show. The catch is it is made in Japan first and has seiyuu. It is awesome, but i don't know if i can consider it as a true qualifier because of that. Sort of like my view on watching subs instead of dubs. =P |
| It's definitely the funnest one of the year. Durarara was disappointing, and as much as I respect Tatami Galaxy's sharp writing, it never went above arthouse fanfare. It's the kick in the ass that I think the industry has needed for a while now. |
 |
| This is seriously the worst show I have ever seen. It isn't funny. It isn't entertaining. It's just repulsive in every way. |

Talk about respecting someones opinion. Do you interrup people when they speak? If you really cared about the story, you already have the manga and have probably already read it. Again, don't talk abou stuff you don't know, especially when the research takes 2 minutes. Look at my manga list, I've read it. |
| It's faaaaaar from the best show this year.About the only good thing about it is the ost... |

| I wouldn't really say it's the best of the year. I love the OST, and the animation is pretty neat, but the actual content in it just doesn't appeal to me too terribly much. And you guys going "HATERZZ GON HAEEETT", well I'll just say the same thing to you. If you're allowed to have an opinion, then so am I. Jeez. |
Intro said: the haters are 100% moe bl0bs anyway. We, moe bl0bs are just not willing to watch Japanese "Powerpuff Girls". Sorry. Why do people keep comparing this to Powerpuff Girls? First, the content is entirely different. Second, it doesn't even look the same animation-wise in my opinion. |

"TEH ART IS DIFFERENT FROM MY MOE ANIMES SO I HAET IT BAAAAWW" Can't you moe guys say anything different? I mean, the art is OBVIOUS I-RO-NIC, how in the name of FUCK can't you understand something so simple? |
| I liked PSG better when it was called Dirty Pair. |
| Hurr hurr steal western references, humor, art style, format, music, and not even use it correctly . Pass it off as some thing new and ground breaking, wannabe edgy retards eat it up. |
| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |
| It definitely different, but I wouldn't say it's anime of the year. I love the show but there are a lot of people who definitely disagree. |
SunshineNoka said: It definitely different, but I wouldn't say it's anime of the year. I love the show but there are a lot of people who definitely disagree. This. It's entertaining, sure, but I wouldn't say it's the best thing this year. I think people seem to forget that while the style and humor is pretty fresh and different in regards to current anime trends, it isn't anything super revolutionary overall, nor does it automatically make it a masterpiece. |
| If any of my posts seem odd, it's probably because I'm tired. Sorry. I have sleeping issues. |
| Tatami Galaxy is the anime of the year overall. However, I don't think I've ever wanted to own an anime soundtrack as much as I want the PSG OST right now. It's incredible. Also, episode 6. Whilst the entire thing doesn't meet anime of the year standards, that episode is easily worthy of being within the top 5 episodes of the year, if not the best. Everything just flowed perfectly there. |
| @^ I don't get your comparisons. I recommended Dead Leaves, Powerpuss Girls are nothing like this and South Park is awesome. Your point? |
| nop. not even best anime of the season if you ask me. And honestly I'm not a hater of this show. I actually thought this had potential to be the best anime of the year after watching the first episode, but now at episode 11 I can say that this show just becomes repetitive and boring at some time. If this would be an small OVA like Dead Leaves, then it might have been much better... Unfortunately, as a series, it sucks. Although, I agree that it has some kickin' ass OST! |
| Naw, I'm pretty sure Gintama is anime of the year, every year. Powerpuff and garter belt can be mindless fart joke of the year though. |
