This kind of thread is ridiculous, but Osomatsu-san was the best anime of 2015
>>149992747

>fujoshit's delusion
>>149992973
>I didn't actually watch it
>>149993041
But I actually watched the first season and two episodes of the second one.
It was fine but eventually started to get boring, the threads were absolutely the worst part of it; they were embarrassing and cancerous at that point. Trying to prove otherwise is straight up pitiful.
2015 was the worst year since 2000. When OPM is the only thing that will be remembered in a few years you know you've got a garbage year on your hands. This make the title of AOTY completely meaningless.
>>149993591
>muh fanbase that ruined the show
If that was true, Flip Flappers would be the worst anime of this year.
>>149992462
We already decided it was Etotama, lurk more and fuck off.
>>149993639
YKA will literally always be remembered by virtue of being made by Ikuhara.
>>149993639
And from 2016 people will just remember Reddit: Zero and Yaoi on Ice. Who fucking cares?
The best shows rarely have wide appeal.
>>149993711
Fuck you, we're fun.
>>149992462
Among those ones?
One Punch Man.
Was Kuromukuro and Gundan Iron Blood Orphans first season played on 2015?
>>149993766
Being remembered as by far the worst work of a guy isn't really an accomplishment.
>>149993792
Are you new to anime?
Rokka no Yuusha won 2015.
It won so hard that season 2 will never come as the studio who made decided that the masterpiece shouldn't have a season 2 made by them and dissolved.

You are clearly a newfag if you can't discern that in contrast with the FlipFlop threads, the Osomatsu threads were harboring an immense amount of crossborders.

It's not like you could get people to agree on what was better than OPM even on /a/, so whatever special snowflake opinion you have it doesn't matter.
>>149994042
Now I`m in doubt between One Punch Man and IBO.
OPM is best non-/m/ anime of 2015 and IBO is the best /m/ anime of 2015.
>>149994104
Butthurt FlipFlop autist detected.
>>149993845

>>149994159
A lot of "hipsters" will like OPM because sakuga. The refined and sophisticated things to like in anime don't really correlate with popularity. A lot of those kinds of people approach it more from a standpoint of production quality which is often independent of popularity.

the reason shows with wide appeal are not as good is that they try to do everything, but do it badly, instead of trying to do only one thing really well.

AOTY isn't just about quality, it also has to reflect the zeitgeist of the anime subculture in of given year.
Moe SoL is dying and on its way out, so it can't be AOTY by definition.

One Punch Man. to be honest.
This is a reminder that Non Non Biyori Repeat episode 4 is the greatest anime episode of all time, transcending its genre by illustrating the beauty of life's simultaneous transience and permanence with a masterfully directed juxtaposition of life and death.
Guys, Death Parade was pretty bad.
>>149998231
No, it was a solid 8/10.
Probably my favorite from 2015.

Anime movies are anime and therefore contend for the title of anime of the year in my books. I dunno how it's "rated" so call it what you like, it's still notches above everything else last year.

>>149999361
he says, calling death parade a solid 8/10
>>149999418
That's right.
shit parade was horrendous, literally fedora tipper the animation
>>149999361
Praising mediocre, didactic shit as an 8/10 is far from "better taste and judgement".
>>149999485
I'd put it around a 2 to a 4 depending on how liberally you throw around your scores.
It was Hibike.
Are you that one guy with an inexplicable boner for Death Parade? It was decent, and that's all.
>>149999587
Death Parade is far away from mediocre and didactic.
Death Parade went to shit when it decided to have an overarching plot instead of staying full episodic.
Also the comedy episode was insulting.
>>149999620
Unless you name other shows and relative scores to have something to compare it to, throwing numbers itself is meaningless.
>>149999718
>Also the comedy episode was the best.
Ftfy
>>149999652
Please, all that preaching about humans never changing and muh primal fear was didactic as fuck. If it weren't for the ending, it's barely a 6/10 and was far worse than Death Billiards.
>>149999631
>It was Hibike.
Ahah
Kekkai Sensen, but it was a shit year.
Lesbian Bear Storm was the best anime of 2015.
Digits confirm.
>>149999770
I don't care
>>149994104

Kekkai Sensen, followed by hibike.
>>149999883
>preaching about humans never changing
That was barely even touched.
>muh primal fear
Part of a larger discourse.
There was nothing didactic about how DP handled its themes, and seeing how you mention the finale, as if it wasn't the natural narrative and thematic outcome, and DB with its limited scope, makes me wonder if you even thought about it.

Hibike Euphonium is a better anime than Kekkai Sensen.
>>150000848
They're both shit.
>>150000574
The finale wasn't good for the "natural narrative and thematic outcome", it was only decent because of the pathos of its directing. It was mediocre throughout, nearly every episode was didactic. From "He mad the wrong decision because she was obviously lying despite the fact she did cheat on him and he was wrong for suspecting her because of the most contrived bullshit ever" to "Beating up a murderer who killed your kid is evil, he'll be reincarnated to kill again because people never change while this guy will go into the void because muh broken system".
Literally nobody in the whole thread even fucking mentioned Lupin, despite it being in the OP.
Watch it, faggots.
>>150000968
I did, it was good. Not my AotY, though.
>>150000921
>The finale wasn't good for the "natural narrative and thematic outcome", it was only decent because of the pathos of its directing.
No, it was good because it was coherent with what nearly every episode before built up, narratively and thematically.
>It was mediocre throughout, nearly every episode was didactic. From "He mad the wrong decision because she was obviously lying despite the fact she did cheat on him and he was wrong for suspecting her because of the most contrived bullshit ever"
They even made it clear that he would never have trusted her anyway, the "misunderstanding" was just an excuse.
>to "Beating up a murderer who killed your kid is evil, he'll be reincarnated to kill again because people never change while this guy will go into the void because muh broken system".
This wasn't even an episode, you're making up some story that wasn't in the series.
>>150001270
>They even made it clear that he would never have trusted her anyway, the "misunderstanding" was just an excuse.
Why would he trust her when she cheated on him? She was literally guilty of what he didn't trust her for, so how exactly it's "just an excuse" is beyond me. Even if you try to argue that she cheated on him because he was kind of an asshole from not trusting her, he didn't cheat on her or beat her. He was just mildly unlikeable. She didn't even last a year before she cheated on him. Seems like he was completely justified.
>you're making up some story that wasn't in the series.
It's been nearly 2 years since I've seen it, I was thinking of the Detective serial killer episode where the guy attacked him after learning it was his fault his sister was killed. My point on the episode stands.
>>150001609
She didn't cheat on him, watch the episode again.
>>150001775
uwotm8?
>>149992462
This is absolutely objective.
Had you actually watched the show, you wouldn't be able to disagree.
>>150001609
He already didn't trust her before she cheated on him. A man who trusted his wife wouldn't have come to that conclusion after listening to that conversation. That was the point they were making. Then he grew distant to her right after the marriage and she cheated on him.
Now explain why this is "didactic".
And about the murderers storyline, they were both sent to the void. The kid would have probably been sent there regardless of the final outburst.
>>149998318
>Hibike

ONE PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH
>>150002016
>A man who trusted his wife wouldn't have come to that conclusion
This is why I said it's the most contrived bullshit ever. A "Matchy" just so happened to marry a doctor around the same time his wife Machiko married him, a doctor. It's set up to the point you'd have to be an idiot to not have some suspicions about it, it wasn't just vague gossip with no details. She's clearly in the wrong, you don't just go and fuck someone else just because someone is being slightly dickish to you lately when you haven't even attempted to talk to them about it. It's didactic because they literally spent an entire episode preaching to the audience about how he was wrong, how the guy would never change, and how she was some martyr saving him. A non-didactic show would have presented the situation to the viewer from a neutral stand point and allowed the audience to draw their own conclusions from the evidence provided to them, like Death Billiards originally did. There have been shows that have done this, which is what leads one to believe you giving this show an 8/10 is the result of not having seen one of these shows do it properly before.
>The kid would have probably been sent there regardless of the final outburst.
Baseless assumption on your part.
>>150001979
Can't be helped. There is no saving plebs.
fafner for me
>>149993639
>an anime i don't like got AOTY
>this title is meaningless to me now!
>>150002600
Death Billiards didn't let the audience to draw their own conclusions. The old guy smirked at the end, you'd have to be retarded to not understand what was going on.
But that's beside the point, you're reading the episode (and I assume the whole show) like it's about judging who is good and who is bad, which isn't the case, despite it being the work of the arbiters.
The point of the episode wasn't estabilishing who was in the wrong (they both were) the point was their inability to communicate. Which is why his distrust of her and her inability to confront him were so important.
This is common for every case and ties into the storyline of Miyuki, Decim and Chavvot (did you think that had anything to do with good and bad?).
As for the murderers, people were sent to the void for petty bullshit, do you think a killer that acted for revenge would have been spared? But again, that's not so important.
