Not bad honestly, this year had some good shows. Sweetness and Lightning, Hibike Euphonium 2, Monster Musume OVA, Schwarzesmarken. I don't know about anyone els but this wasn't a bad year, i'm looking forward to what's in store for us this year.

>In general
Oh boy where do we start? We had Brexit, Trump, refugees, terror attacks, further fuck ups in the Middle East etc. 2016 was very interesting year but I have a feeling we're only getting started.

>2016 was very interesting year but I have a feeling we're only getting started.

This. 2016 was just a taste.

It's like 1929 all over again. Big event happens (Trump election), things settle for a while (bear market rally), but then things get much worse when people start to grasp reality.

I don't care who's president, but I do know this economy is heading for deep shit real soon thanks to interest rate manipulation and global tensions rising. It won't be pretty.

Better than 2015 but worse than 2014. A lot of decent shows but not really anything too amazing besides from Rakugo. This year had a lot more memorable announcements than it did Anime like FLCL 2 and the new Code Geass although they'll probably end up being shit anyway.

>>151700800
This one is shit. There's so many pointless ass images from Anime no ones going to remember a week from now.

I was about to say something, but then I realized you're one of the hipsters so desperate to pretend to have refined taste that you think Rakugo was anything other than melodramatic josei.

Rakugo is a show about a death of an artform where worldbuilding is done by examining lifestyle changes of regular men throughout the century.

And you may be a raging faggot if you're pretending that run of the mill josei relationship drama and homolust undertones aren't melodramatic. But they, throw in a historical setting and make it about any kind of dated artform, and suddenly hipsters will pretend it's great by virtue of being different alone.

Kimi no Na Wa is itt overrated shit in spades. Shinkai literally copypasted 5CMPS and put a thin coat of paint over it. For the same exact story as all his other shit it didn't need to be as long as it was. The fact that every website known to man including /a/ is praising it as the best thing ever, as in better than FMAB, is ridiculous and bullshit.

Yes, I am quite confident that all of those posts are yours since they use the exact same buzz words and phrases.

>>151704605
Orange, Tales anime, and YoI were all trash, fuck you.

>>151707199
Anon, you're deflecting. Your opinion is self contradictory.

>>151707240
Actually josei isn't a buzzword at all. It's objectively josei, and that's not up for debate. You could argue that melodrama is a buzzword, but it's really not. So that's one word you found that people use, and that's because it applies. If you look through those posts, one guy calls it a period drama a few times, one calls it generic and most of the rest aren't even about Rakugo, because those two words are completely normal for talking about a josei series. You really have no grasp of how anime discussion goes, because you likely don't watch all that much anime given how good you're pretending Rakugo is (because in you're mind it's different and not "otaku anime" and therefore good) and on top of that, your inability to differentiate different posters based on prose and vernacular highlights how stupid you actually are.

Keep at it, though.

>>151707267
>deflecting
You don't know what that word means.

>Your opinion is self contradictory
No it's not. I said that people like the show for it's setting despite its using cliched archetypes and ideas seen in josei manga because it manages to fool them into thinking it's truly novel and nuanced. Nothing in my posts are self contradictory. Stop using words you don't understand to try to sound smart, you just come off stupider for using them incorrectly.

>>151707412
But they are you, stop denying it.

>>151707448
What a compelling and well thought out argument that addresses what I said, and isn't just cognitive dissonance to reconcile the fact that more than one person disagrees with you for the same reasons.

Oh that was a serious question. You brought up the IBO guy. He spams images in every IBO thread and makes dozens of posts per week. The guy in this thread linked a couple of posts that called it a melodramatic josei and then a bunch of posts that had nothing to do with Rakugo, and then claimed that only one guy didn't like it.

But anon, I'm the one guy that doesn't like Rakugo and I shitpost all the threads about it the same way. How can I be that guy but also not lurk the threads? Please explain it to me.
