Hey how have you been? I'm sorry for the late reply or if my other one was a bit bad! The shows I'm definitely most excited for are High School DxD Hero(which is starting to adapt some of the best parts of the Light Novel, with Cao Cao and the Hero faction), Steins;Gate 0, BnHA3, and Persona 5 the Animation! Some of the shows I will be watching other then that are Tokyo Ghoul:re(since I've read Tokyo Ghoul manga), Gun Gale Online Alternative, FMP Invisible Victory(if I manage to finish the first season while it's airing or before), Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii. If there are any first episodes for series that look really good I'll definitely watch those shows as well!
I'm feeling good in life at the moment, how about yourself? I think it's really worth it to watch the movie if you love Fate, it's definitely best to play the visual novel first but it's definitely really nice seeing it animated in a movie! It is my favourite route
I see you dropped Fate/Extra, what did you dislike about the show?
literal in the case of the ending, did you mind the resurrections?
. Glad you loved it as much as you did. Episode 18 is one of the only times I've ever cried at an anime before, and that says a lot
you know, Tomoya with Ushio in the flower field, Tomoya asking why the gift is so important to him as Ushio says "first thing from daddy". And also saying one of the only things he was told was crying in daddy's arms.....owwww, gets to me so much.
It was for the best that they eventually got out of the harem rut and lead to an actual budding relationship. Also loved the way Tomoya decided to make things up with his father after all those years, all those talks with Yusuke, etc.
Here's hoping you like Your Lie in April. The comedy tone shifts can be intrusive at times, but it looks beautiful, sounds great, and nails the ending.
Now your data is all on the site. Go into Ratings where you should see a graph representing what titles you rated with what number, and hit the Export button on the side. Then color the graph whatever color you please, copy the link shown there, go into Edit Profile on MAL, paste the link whereever you like on your page and BOOM! Graph completed. You can even click on the graph to take you back to the graph.anime.plus page where you can refresh the graph and see your history, favorite genres and anime achievements.
The awards will cover genres (i.e. Best Action anime, Best Adventure Fantasy, Best Romance, Best Drama, Best Mystery, Best Thriller, Best Horror, etc), but it will also include things like Best Animation (TV), Best Atmosphere, Best Aesthetic, Best Artwork, Best Character Designs, Best OP 2017, Best OP (All Years), Best Insert Song, Best Soundtrack, Best Worldbuilding, Best Fight Scene, as well as a variety of character based awards. There will also be a Razzie section, shorter than the main one, where I "award" the worst elements of shows I saw this year. Then, the biggest awards will be after that, with double the nominees, to ultimately close off the celebration. I'm fairly far into the process, just need to write what precedes and succeeds where I announce what won every award.
If you want to show off your favorite fight scenes or characters, simply write down what you pick, for instance, Deku (My Hero Academia), then use [spoiler][img]link to the GIF you want to represent the character or fight[img][spoiler] again, only this time put a / in front of img and spoiler on the 2nd one. The end result will look like this.
Deku (My Hero Academia)
You can even bold text by using [b] and [b] with a / before the b.
Actually, later this month, I plan to do an Anime Awards for every show I saw in 2017, including both 2017 airings and older shows.
But my favorites of 2017, if not including sequels, were Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, Re:Creators, Little Witch Academia, Tsuki ga Kirei, Made in Abyss, Recovery of an MMO Junkie, and Land of the Lustrous. If including sequels, then My Hero Academia 2 and Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu 2 would be added on.
Yup. Monster is fantastic stuff. Hopefully you'll like the ending; makes a lot of sense when you think about it.
If Supernatural, Thriller, Comedy and Character Driven are your stipulations, here's some recs:
Supernatural: I already brought up Shinsekai Yori, though so far I'd recommend DRRR, and Mononoke is a surprisingly great horror series that's about the supernatural. Hellsing Ultimate as an action supernatural blockbluster type series. The original is skippable.
Soul Eater is a supernatural Tim Burton-esque Shonen with fun style.
Thriller: Definitely Paranoia Agent. A mind boggler for certain, but quite the intriguing show when you boil it down. Kon will dearly be missed. MAL also counts Ga-Rei Zero as Thriller, and though that wouldn't be my first tag for it, I'd recommend the series a good deal. When They Cry seems to be in line as a solid thriller series, and you may like Shiki for that. Rokka no Yuusha has a fun twist even if the ending is....not great.
Comedy: Plastic Neesan and Detroit Metal City are great for how short they are. Humanity Has Declined is a really smart comedy satire. Kobayashi's Dragon Maid is a very fun show that's actually able to pull off legitimate drama which surprised me. No Game No Life is funny for just how INSANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNE it can get. Golden Boy is one of my favorite ecchi comedies. Panty and Stocking is a very fun, if occasionally hit or miss, tribute to western cartoons.
Character-Driven: SHIROBAKO. This one is very special, probably my favorite slice of life. It's both fun and mature, with a great concept about anime production. Toradora and Hyouka are great character-driven dramas. Gungrave is basically Mafia Berserk with an ending. House of Five Leaves is underrated drama
Shinsekai Yori might be a bit slow, though what it becomes overtime is something very special.
On a different note, I highly, highly encourage you to give Shinsekai Yori another chance. Sure, the art direction is not the greatest thing in the world, but by the fantastic end of it, I found it to be one of the best dystopian stories I'd seen in fiction. Friends of mine loved it even more. Likewise in the case for Gankutsuou for thrillers.
(This will be assuming your list is up to date, so sorry if not all of it is applicable.)
Anything on my profile's mosaic is something I really love, so I'd highly recommend any of those. You've seen or started quite a few of them, but some that you haven't are Mushishi, Chuunibyou, Death Note and Clannad. A couple others not on there but I think quite highly of are Toradora and Nichijou (which I'm rewatching right now and is spectacular). The original Fullmetal Alchemist is very worthwhile, and to some better than Brotherhood (though I would have recommended you see it before Brotherhood, which is unfortunately no longer possible). I'd also say to finish Bebop and Haruhi sooner than later.
But those are all general “these are good series that most people will probably enjoy” recommendations. What specifically do you like? What are your tastes in genre and story?
Also, there are plenty of series that you've dropped despite a decent score, like Eva, Bahamut and Flip Flappers. Why is that?

Also, while the Spice & Wolf anime is great, it's on my mosaic for the light novels, which truly go above and beyond.
