| Ok guys the the thread has been reopened and remember to try and discuss and explain your faviorite 2014 anime this time. I'll show you an example from another anime I think will stand out in 2014. Akame Ga Kill is a amazing manga series by writer Tashiro Tetsuya and artist Takahiro. I've been hearing that the anime adaptation may be released this year. Akame Ga Kill is brilliant it is dark,violent and a little gory and I can recommend it to Attack On Titan fans going through withdrawal until the second season airs. It is set in a dark fantasy world and focuses on themes such as friendship, war, inequality, discrimination & tragedy. It is a wonderful tale of adventure and you will really want to get behind the young protagonist Tatsumi through his journey in the dark, cruel, fantasy world of Akame Ga Kill. Your also going love the supporting characters as they together with Tatsumi truly bring this series to life. For some this anime will send you on an emotional roller-coaster of feels and I think it has potential to be one of the best of the year, that is if it gets released this year. |

Higashi_no_Kaze said: Sure.Makomonogatari said: YorozuyaGinSan said: I prefer to go by when shows finish airing. Makes more sense imo.I think it's considered a 2013 show. Could you elaborate on that? I never got why this would make more sense. When any show starts for the first ~13 episodes (and the whole time period before airing) everybody refers to it as a show of the current season (Fall for Kill la Kill) and compares it to the other shows of that season. But once a series enters 2-cour half the people suddenly see it as a show of the next season/year(winter/2014 in this case). How does that make more sense than just continuuing to refer to it as a Fall show like we've done all the months before that? When you're making "best anime of ____ " considerations, it's implied that the anime under consideration have aired to a point where it would be reasonable to assess them as complete products. In my opinion, that point is almost always during the year in which anime finish airing. Longwinded explanation that kind of turns into a rant: As for the problem you mentioned, I've never run into it because I don't usually refer to show by the season they began airing. I just say hasn't aired yet, currently airing, or aired. To use an extreme example, it would be a bit ridiculous to refer to One Piece as a Spring 1999* anime or whatever. *I made that date up, lol. |

| @Makomonogatari But it wouldn't be ridiculous to say One Piece is a 1999 anime because that's when it started. With your method you wouldn't be able to refer to it at all until it finishes. Long-runners are an exception anyway, because you usually name them in a separate category (long-runners) instead of talking about them in terms of seasons. I don't get the ambiguity you fuss about though, obviously I can only make a final judgment on my 2013 toplist when all the 2013 shows have finished. Doesn't suddenly make the show be from a different season or year though and it's not making things complicated at all if you ask me. Your way or my way - you'll have to reserve final judgment for the final epsisode. I don't see the connection between that jdudgin process and the categorization in seasons/years. But, well, let's leave it at that as we seem to disagree about it. Just one more (natural) example from real life. The semester at uni that goes from september/october until about february/march is called the winter 2013 semester even though the last 2 or 3 months are in 2014. It always seemed natural to me to name and categorize things like that until I met the anime community. |

But, well, let's leave it at that as we seem to disagree about it. It's the same list, you just edit it :P. I may be ambiguous for one season until the 2-cour shows have finished, but the other way round is confusing even years later :>. The thing is that I doubt that you and most people like you don't still mention shows like Kill la Kill for best/worst/whatever show 2013 while it still is 2013 and compare it to other (Fall) 2013 shows at that time. In theory it makes sense to use the date at which you can judge a show in it's entirety as the criteria, but the majority of people will still actually talk about and compare and rate/judge the show while it is airing so using that argument seems hypocritical to me unless you really hold back on sharing your opinion on any show before it has finished airing and you completed it.

Higashi_no_Kaze said: Nope. At Canadian universities, Fall 2014 will go from September to December 2014 and Winter 2015 will start in January 2015. So 2014 semesters are strictly in 2014, lol.Rofl. Isn't it the same everywhere? It sounds like you only have two semesters (vs. our three), which I suppose explains the difference. Everyone wants to start in September, because that lines up with the high school calender. Unless high school doesn't start in September in Austria, in which case my mind = blown. |

Higashi_no_Kaze said: Oh, oops. I didn't realize that 'semester' actually meant half of a year, lol. I thought it was just a synonym of 'term'. We call them terms and have three per year (four months each). There isn't much of a break in between them, but most students don't go to school during the Spring term—essentially allowing them a four month break.
