Maybe it's just me but I totally don't get what is so good about ZS. But yes Mamoru did a good job as tatsumi's VA (that to me was the best thing about ZS).

Conan's still airing? I know it's a super long runner like Doraemon and Sazae-san, but I thought that anime would've ended by now.

I'll never understand Yuri on Ice's popularity. Never. It's like a typical, cliche Shoujo romance, but with a gay couple. Oh well. I still say Banana Fish deserved better for many reasons, but congrats to the winner nonetheless.

Detective Conan Movie 22: Zero The Enforcer (Film)




Sure Detective Conan Movie is chosen as animation movie of the year, not Maquia or Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai? Why Japan?
Instead Zero The Enforcer is not the best enough among other DC movie in previous years...
So next year what...don't tell me that is LL Sunshine Movie...

Heck yeah Banana Fish!! Im happy BF got the attention it deserved. I just dont understand how Zombieland got best animation award when they used pretty bad cgi in their dances lol. Karakuri Circus would be good for animation award and the small amount of CGI isnt even bad it goes with the whole creepy creepy vibe. I dont like when people compare yuri on ice to banana fish because they are whole different anime about different things. BF isnt even considered yaoi? Its more then that it shows the harsh reality of the real world. And is a great thriller

Since they mentioned "original story", I'm assuming it's Sora yori mo tooi basho.

it was actually very good movie for the franchise imho... it cramming what i like from this series when giving interesting mysteries too... maquia while it's good, the character has no wide appeal and the story sort of ambiguity that's not something left much of impact... and kimi no suzu adaptation is lacking in perspective play the novel/manga mastered (which actually the only outstanding part of this series). so yeah, i wouldn't said it won because it masterpiece, but it still much better than the others.

personal rant, actually, i prefer "i sold my life for 10000 yen" than "i want to eat your pancreas" as movie.
"If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on."

Can't argue. Nothing else really stands out, sells like hotcake, and is appreciated by (almost) everyone.
