AOTY So Far?
| I am saving my vote until Railgun 3 comes out. |
Thanjh said: Ferien said: Thanks I didn't realize how early it is and nobody else has replied with how early and pointless this thread is. Couldn't just pick an anime or say which is better?These early discussions are so pointless when the current anime of the season have not finished airing yet and we still have one more season to go. Calm down, no need to heat your head up. And I don't know, haven't completed any 2019 show so far besides Mob2 and I didn't like it , so I can't really answer. |
| Why is this already being created, when there is 1 and a half season left. Leave this shit for the end of the year, please.... |
 |
| WHERE IS "MIRU TIGHTS" YOU FUCKING SCRUB? >:O |
   |
| Kimetsu no yaiba episode 19 is my pick. |
 |
| i see some comments saying AOT or KnY can take best animation from mob100 , I just don't see it BlakexEkalb said: That aside, I think Mob Psycho II is AOTY. If it were top 3 I'd choose Mob Psycho, AoT, and Kaguya-sama. I'm fine with either Mob or AoT getting AOTY though, both were superb. Same here |
| If I had to pick a top 5 through the first half... 1. SnK Season 3 Part 2 - SnK has had quite the seven year journey...never would have thought it would get to be this good. 2. The Promised Neverland - Not too many anime are so good, it inspires me to read the manga...The Promised Neverland was one of the few that accomplished that feat. 3. Dororo - Definitely my surprise anime of the year so far. I’m generally not a junkie for samurai anime, but Dororo caught me, hook, line and sinker. 4. Fruits Basket - I mean, I loved the original that aired in the early 2000s and so far the remake is blowing it out of the water. 5. Demon Slayer - This one could easily move up, especially considering how episode 19 ended. Still, this one hasn’t “captivated” me like it has with some. I’m not really in love with the characters and the one main character I REALLY like gets some rather seldom screen time (Nezuko). Summer Dark Horses Vinland Saga - Of the summer anime I’m watching, I’d say this one has the most potential to climb into my top 5. I don’t want to “rate” it until it at least completes a cour. Dr. Stone - I’m not really a “science guy,” but I find this series fascinating. Also has a contender for “best girl.” Fire Force - I mean, I LOVE Soul Eater and this is practically Soul Eater with firefighters rather than witch and demon hunters. On the plus side, at least the cast of this anime is far more tolerable (seriously, fuck the person who came up with Black Star’s character. Easily in my top 5 most annoying anime characters of all-time...yes, even above Shinji from NGE). |
| AoT season 3 part 2 is AoTY for me. Kimetsu no Yaiba is 2nd. |
| way too early to tell but so far aot s3 p2 for me |
 |
| Of what we've seen so far, Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo, Carole and Tuesday and Machikado Mazoku seem the top contenders. But Chiyafuru 3 is coming... |
Thanjh said: thepath said: Because it started in Fall 2018. Also I thought Golden Wind was a step backwards from Diamond is Unbreakable personally. Why JoJo is not on the list ??? I say my top 3 are these so far JoJo Attak on titan 3 part 2 Vinland Saga Other good show worth mention Yakusoku no Neverland Dororo It starting in 2018 is kinda redundant considering a majority of it aired this year. It only aired 3 months in 18 opposed to 7 months in 19. Counting it towards either year is fair. |
What a beautiful Duwang |
| I was lowkey tempted on voting for Kaguya-sama but ended up voting for AOT S3 P2 instead. |
sodomized said: Edylson said: Or maybe just maaaaaybe, you shouldn't care about other people's opinions, i mean that statement of yours is filled with buzzwords, but yeah i agree with Vinland Saga that shit is fire 'melodramatic' and 'convoluted' are buzzwords now, top kek I'd say "melodramatic" is indeed a buzzword. At this point is just used to describe a drama that didn't resonate with you/you were not invested in. OT: Kaguya-sama is my pick for now. |
Ferien said: These early discussions are so pointless when the current anime of the season have not finished airing yet and we still have one more season to go. when they announced aot for this year it was already decided it will be AOTY, so the discussions are indeed pointless. |
| Mine is Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo followed by AoT. |
| Vinland or Boogiepop are for a facct AOTY. |
 |
| There are a lot of AOT fanboys on this server. I will not be surprised if it finishes 1st right now or at the end of the year. |
 |
| So far, it's Kimetsu no Yaiba for me |
| I vote for KnY. Aot and Mob definitely deserve to be aoty, but I enjoy Yaiba much more than those two. |

| 1. AOT Season 3 Part 2 2. Vinland Saga 3. Promised Neverland 4. Shield Hero 5. Kimetsu no Yaiba 6. Dororo 7. Mob Psycho 100 II Others dont care |
| Vinland Saga is the real AOTY. AoT gets more attention because season 3 lole. |

HopefulNihilist said: I voted Vinland Saga I think what makes this show great so far is the slow pacing; whereas other anime just rush straight through Act 1, Vinland Saga takes its time to go through Act 1 so you can really care about the characters, or at least, feel the weight of Thors' death. Rather than just skip straight to Thorfinn being the adult cold-hearted killer he is in the manga, the anime really shows his gradual development from an innocent child into that cold-hearted killer. Vinland Saga is dark, brutal, horrific, but in a way that is perfectly natural, given its setting. It doesn't shove its dark themes into your face the way many anime do; no dark scene feels unnecessary. Every episode has me drooling for more. If this anime continues at this pace, and a second season is guaranteed, this may become my favorite anime of all time. Themousen said: So far, it's Kimetsu no Yaiba for me Interesting. Given it's reputation as being a generic shounen, I'd love to hear why you really like this show. Let's see : - I love the OST, the best of the season for me - love the opening too - animation is really interesting and sometimes even gorgeous - I like the characters (especially Tanjiro and Nezuko). Tanjiro's personnality is pretty unique and he's more clever than most shonen MC - the story is interesting, simple but interesting - there's really touching moments, sometimes involving the demons (which shows the anime isn't one-sided) - so far, the main villain is great : enigmatic, cruel and badass but also really interesting - the whole atmosphere of this anime is mostly dark, with comedic situations occuring sometimes. This type of narration didn't bother me in FMAB and it still doesn't in Kimetsu no Yaiba The other AOTY opponents are Mob Psycho 100 II and Yakusoku no Neverland, but I didn't enjoy them as much as KNY (even though I enjoyed them a lot) |

I've only watched 2 episodes so far so I can't be sure, but it can be my favourite 2019 anime. |
| Another anti-Jojo poll eh? Seen tons of similar topics already and somehow all of them tend to ignore Jojo while adding many meh things which don't even deserve to be mentioned |

Thanjh said: Themousen said: I actually had it there but took it away cos nobody watches it compared to anything Japanese. You liking season 2 at the moment? I think the current arc is good but I’d prefer if they go back to where the flashbacks left of last season in the next episode or two.Doesn't bother me at all Oh, silly me, it didn't came in my mind because it wasn't in the poll, but if the second season of Mo Dao Zu Shi is as good (or even better) as the 1st one, then it'll be without a doubt my 2019 AOTY, beating Kimetsu no Yaiba. I've only watched 2 episodes so far so I can't be sure, but it can be my favourite 2019 anime. Hard to say, I loved the whole flashback and especially the relationship between Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, a relationship which obviouslu isn't there in S2 (yet...) But the demon hand arc seems interesting. It's also creepier than the rest of the anime, and I love it. But, like I said, I only watched 2 episodes (against the 15 from S1), so I can't compare yet but these 2 episodes alone are great |
| The score was already a reflection that snk is getting the AOTY and the votes doesn't surprise me either. If kimetsu didn't have that last 2 minutes of sakuga, the votes would be a lot lower. |
| For me, Kaguya-sama. But, it's not actually been a great year for me so far. Lots of 7/10s. Kaguya just really worked for me. The comedy had me laughing out loud hard every episode. I love the art, and character designs both in appearence and their personlities. But it was the way it blended the comedy with a more dramatic/romantic tone towards the end that really pushed it to 10/10 status. All that said, I still need to catch up with AoT and I have no doubt it's thoroughly deserving of all the praise. Right now, if there were any awards given out, I would be happy with AoT or Kaguya getting recognition. I wouldn't mind MP100 getting some love either, even though it didn't work for me at all. That said, I feel like MP100 falls in to same category as KnY in that they are carried by their animation and story should trump animation. KnY is generic as all hell and MP100 had some good character moments with Reigen but beyond that didn't impress me as a narrative. Also, as much as MP100 does have technically good animation, the art style is beyond ugly, unlike the beautiful stuff that ufotable makes. If we're reducing a story-telling medium to just visual asthetic, anime should look good in the still frame also, and KnY >> MP100 in that regard. inb4 "but anime is short for animation so that's the most important factor" That attitude is analogous to someone who doesn't know good food, praising a restaurant for it's presentation rather than how the food actually tastes. |

| I think talking about AOTY is kind of... not pointless, but... it's decided by what the most popular genre is. Action stuff is always more popular, so a decent action show would win a contest over a masterpiece romcom every time. Talking about romance or comedy or drama of the year rather than anime of the year is a lot more meaningful, in my opinion. It becomes less a genre popularity contest that way. |

sodomized said: madscientist0001 said: Or may be AOT is actually good and most people are accepting that fact. Wow, I love shingeki now! Thanks for opening my eyes with that concise argument. Brb, gotta go appreciate AoT a shitton now, might even cream over isekai animu later. I mean, you had no argument either... |

A place further than the universe was last year's AOTY tho |
| For shonen standards, Kimetsu No Yaiba is good. However, I feel like the spectacular animation blinds people from the underlying basic story. It's nothing special, calm down people. For me, I voted Vinland Saga. I prefer stories that slowly introduce and establish characters while some go through major development. Story is more important than art in my opinion. While Mob Psycho 100 S2 and AOT S2 P3 are both very great, but Vinland Saga managed to resonate with me the most. However, Vinland Saga's story has just truly begun and I look forward to how they approach it. |

| I voted for mob it was by far the best in overall production this year a̶l̶l̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶A̶O̶T̶a̶r̶d̶s̶ ̶h̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶t̶a̶k̶e̶n̶ ̶o̶v̶e̶r̶.̶ |
| Mob Psycho 100 II for the moment....but i hope come here in the future and say Vinland Saga is the AOTY |
