AOTS,Winter 2017:

Little witches won't win the poll, but they won my heart!!

Onihei

Kuzu no Honkai - Scum's Wish

>riggedpoll

Rigged.

>Kemono Friends
Is this a meme?

>>155266093
So this is truly the season that separates the reddit from the 4chan

If your aots is konosuba or maiddragon, you are unquestionably reddit

>>155266106
Pretty much.

People are sperging out because it was a little darker than the premise would suggest, but it's no madoka.

Akiba's Trip is criminally underrated.

>>155266161

I watched only a couple eps of other shows and dropped them, but watched all of Konosuba 2. Does that make me reddit? I don't even have a reddit account.

>>155266545
Well if you only watched shit shows then it's understandable that you would conclude konosuba to be the best.

On the other hand, if you watched the good ones and dropped them then you are reddit.

>I don't even have a reddit account.
Reddit isn't just a website. It's a mentality. You might have the reddit mentality if you
>seek out western reviews when deciding what to watch
>worry about how "mature" an anime is
>think fanservice detracts from a work unless it's used to generate humor
>are open about your anime hobby to others

>>155265204
Is 3-Gatsu not considered to be part of this season?

>>155266848
I agree with the rest but this:
>are open about your anime hobby to others
If you're not insecure about your hobby you're Reddit? As long as you don't sperg out and bother people that have no interest in anime then it's fine.

>>155265204
Konoshittersc blown the fuck out.

What happened to Seiren? I remember it being really popular at the start of the season

>>155267111
Several awful to mediocre arcs to start the series. Not sure what the writer was thinking.

>>155267111
Shit girls, shit MC, shit end of routes. The moat hated girl was the best written in the end.

I'm vote for Shouwa Genroku and I didn't even watch it. Nothing looked remotely interesting so I only watched Konosuba 2 which was okay at best.
This was a shit season, I hope you boys put work in on your backlogs while you had the chance.

Yeah that's basically what I meant. You wrote it better than I did. Nothing wrong with saying you watch anime if someone asks.

>>155267230
This was one of the best seasons I've seen in like 2-3 years. Many surprises and good shows. Hope you had fun with that backlog though, those 6 naruto episodes you missed must've been great.

Hikari got some closure in a different route?

>>155267111
It started out really strong, but then the first arc had a fairly crappy ending, and the second arc was kind of a mess, and it just ended up not being anywhere near amagami tier.

Tsuneki still girl of the season, though.

I had a lot of expectations honestly, LWA, Gabdrop, Demi, Kobayashi and Konosuba all looled very promising, but all of them were barely mediocre. I missed ACCA and Rakugo for dumb reason and the Youjo Senki hype died fastly. The only thing I kind of enjoyed was Rewrite and that's because I played the vn.
Gladly I could finish some backlog.

>>155267388
She basically carried all the other routes in different ways.

>>155267230
So basically you watched nothing but konosuba and only voted for genroku because it is "different" since konosuba is an isekai shit? Too insecure to admit you like konosuba? Why are you here again? Is anime even your hobby?

People voting for Kemono friends are doing it ironically to mirror Japan´s tastes since /a/ loves sucking their small cocks.

People voting for KonoSuba are mostly crossboarders from /v/, so it gets disqualified.

That's how I felt about this season too. Dropped Demi and Gabdrop, 2-3 episodes behind Maidragon, Gundam, Akiba's Trip and LWA, put on hold Rakugo, Onihei and ACCA. The only show I truly enjoyed watcing every week was Urara. At least next season looks more promising

It's classic "I disagree therefore reddit" shitposting, just ignore

>>155267478
I have the same general feeling about the season with the exception of Konosuba, but that show is pretty hit or miss so I get why people don't like it even though it's a 10 for me. Dropped Gabriel, LWA, Maid Dragon, that cuck show. Finished Masamune and Youjo Senki, which are a 4 and a 7, nothing special.

Kemono friends had the most satisfying endings in a long while

I wanted to like Urachou, but it only developed a decent story toward the end ("TRAITOR"). Also, the tension peaked by episode 11, with 12 seeming like a fanservice episode tacked on to the end.

I have a soft spot for Kirara anime and it provided exactly what I was expecting i.e. fun and cute girls and it even had some plot. Also worth mentioning that the visual part was really good, really loved the colors JC Staff used.
I'm not saying it was "so good", I'd rate it as decent 6/10

So what makes Kemono Friends a good show then? That CGI animation wasn't appealing, I found the characters irritating and forced for the most part, and the story didn't seem interesting.

It usually takes three, occasionally four, episodes. Once you get halfway through the third episode you'll know whether to keep going.

The first two episodes are kind of tepid.

>>155268262
I remember everyone saying the first episode was as unwatchable as Hand Shakers, then suddenly everyone loved it at some point. I think it's probably just a forced meme that everyone jumped on, not the show actually getting better

No I didn't find season 2 as good as season 1, which was AOTS when it aired. If Kono2 wins AOTS I don't want my vote to have been partially responsible for that, because I don't think it deserves that praise. Shouwa Genroku on the other hands I've heard nothing about and at least it's not Maid Dragon.
I checked out a few other shows at the beginning of the season and none managed to hold my attention longer than 2 or 3 episodes.

>That CGI animation wasn't appealing, I found the characters irritating and forced for the most part, and the story didn't seem interesting.

KF indeed has shitty CG because the animators made the series on fucking toasters with piss poor budget, but its ensemble of cast was honestly the most charming of the season. They are stupid but they behave like how animals which suddenly turn into humans would, not how humans with animal characteristic would. This also make it very appropriate for the main character to come along and solve their problem by introducing human concept like cooperation, work assignment and games. The animal-ish behaviours in that sense only make them more genuine and charming actually.

Secondly, KF is not an anime meant to be watched for the story. It has a story which is gradually unveiled from ep 4 onward, but I doubt the fags who watch the series just because of the suffering in ep 11 and just want some thrilling shit would be able to enjoy KF at all. KF is more similar to a roadtrip movie, you're supposed to immerse in the journey with the main and enjoy their adventure at your own pace. And I think it has done a wonderful job in creating the atmosphere of adventure, the execution is flawless.

>>155268394
Just so we're clear, tepid and bad are two different words with different meanings. (One important clue being that they're spelled differently.) You do know this on some level, yes?

It's sad that despite both are aimed at the general audience (both creators stated that they want the anime to be widely received by both kids and adults) and having similar execution format (episodic adventure with plot in background), LWA is getting so little love from Jap.

I blame Akko. I want to love the series, but honestly in the first cour Akko just isn't a very likable character. First few episode she was shallow and just a brat, when she actually gets development she still gets shafted hard and shit on. Underdog story is not bad in any metric, but honestly for a show that meant to be fun and enjoyable there is just so little enjoyment to get from Akko at all.

Why would I nominate one of the shows I dropped, I dropped them because they were terrible. Konosuba was better than them and I don't even think it was good enough to be AOTS.
I'm partway through Genroku S1 and have it on-hold, if S2 is of the same quality it should be AOTS because this was a very bland season imo.

>>155269148
thiicccc

>>155269356
Weird because Trigger seemed to be very aware that Akko was the problem, but they just couldn't fix it. Yoshinari said he didn't like writing Akko or didn't know how to, and Tattun said people in the office were surprised that Akko seemed to be popular on /a/.

>>155268942
Because it's innocent and interesting. There's no "twist" at all, ever.

>>155269356
I feel the same way, I was really expecting good thins about LWA, but Akko barely making any progress and constsntly teasing a plot that shows at last minute was really annoying. I really hope they make up in the second cour, or it is going to be the disappointment of the year.

LWA is objectively the greatest thing this season in terms of character design, and heart. Fucking otaku cancer.

its an unoffensive relaxing show that makes you just feel happy. Yes, its CGI but considering the budget they were on and the low manpower behind it, its excusable.
The amount of detail in its storytelling is also amazing, something you dont see often anymore in recent anime (because current anime is just a realy long commercial for the source material)

Watch 3 episodes (because the its a perfect example of the 3 episode rule) and then decide if you want to keep trashing it or enjoy the rest of it.

>>155269510

we need another season

>>155269958
Basically this.

>>155269896
I'll admit I should have better explained in my original post; I've seen part of Genroku S1, and am just operating on the assumption that S2 is as good as S1. I feel it's a safe assumption because I haven't heard anything bad about it, only good things.
S1 was better than this whole season, therefore S2 was probably also better than this whole season, which is the reason for my vote.

>>155269967
Perfect redditor post.

Maybe you should stop being a fat NEET than. Mom and dad are dissapointed in you.

>>155270013

Enjoy your usagi droppef

Anything this season with good settings or world-building?
Well done settings are my show fetish.

>>155270072
Educate yourself on what fanservice is.

>>155270013
ah makes a bit more sense, but it means had you not watched konosuba s2 you probably would have decided it was best based on enjoying s1 right?

>>155270132
Kemono Friends. I'm serious.

Yeah just like "litteraly" and "nazi", the meaning of fanservice kind of became something else. And I absolute hate fanservice nowadays because its litteraly just this: tits and ass.

Maid Dragon has surprisingly good worldbuilding

>>155270132
dont listen to >>155270255

Maid Dragon is realy great. Once you finished it and rewatch it again, its small details will be shown. Its realy the anime of the season, no joke. Kanna is a realy deep character

>>155270132
Unironically, Maid Dragon and Kemono Friends. The world building in both are more subtle instead of in-your-face infodumps though.

What happend?
Why did memes become more important than quality?
What an awful poll.

>>155270352
>Kanna is a realy deep character
not sure if bait

>>155270202
Absolutely true. I know my methods and reasoning are not the most objectively sound, but luckily the idea of crowd-voting for the best Anime of the Season is already a flawed and meaningless excersize in the first place. Ultimately it doesn't matter how many people agree or disagree with you, you'll still have your own favourite show from the season regardless.
If I had to write something or make an official yet personal impressions/reflection list on the year as a whole and each season, I would just say that it was a bland season with nothing really noteworthy. There's no real reason to pick a best anime in each season in the first place.
If you're looking for a kind of time capsule for the interests and anime scene as a whole for any given time period, I'd say that a season is too short a time frame to be bothered with. A year is also pretty short, but a much more understandable time frame. It will ultimate come down to "what are your favourite anime" regardless of the time period in which they aired, though.

Glad we could all agree Kemono Friends is the best show this season.
Well done, /a/nons.

>>155270503
Why not now? Oh right Megumemefags are still in school.

Anyone that didn't vote for Akiba's Trip is a fag. And yes, I watched all episodes of Kemofure, LWA, Konosuba and Maid Dragon. Second place probably goes to Rewrite S2 or sangatsu, Seiren would be here if all the routes were as good as the last one.

>>155270512
Give it 3 episodes and you'll be surprised by how entertaining it is.

>>155270503
Keep it up with the MLP accusations. One of these days someone might even take you seriously.

>>155270497
The premise can't carry its awful execution. It was the show I looked forward to the most this season but I couldn't even finished episode 3.

Typically you'd expect fandoms of the season's number one and two duke it out in the thread, but instead it's the kyoanifags that's taking a piss. Why is that?

>>155270512
how many episodes have you watched?
Just one? Just two? If you watched three and still dislike the series, than you just dont like that style of storytelling or you simply cannot accept the CGI.
If you imagine its a gamecube game made by Nintendo, the CGI might grow on you

>>155270628
Seiren was dead in the waters with how Tsuneki's arc ended. Only Kyouko's arc felt like a true Amagami spiritual successor. Akiba's Trip is painfully underrated, but unfortunately I like KF just a bit more so I had to vote for that instead.

Kyoanihaters and lovers are way too fucking obnoxious. And most people delude themselves that KF is just a meme winner. In their safe little bubble Konosuba is the winner, reality can go fuck itself.

good points, ignoring the reliability they are kind of useful as a 'what was everyone enjoying' meter, especially on /a/ where anons turn on stuff and say 'it was always considered shit' all the time

It's really the exact opposite of "zero effort into it".

>>155270673
Because they were convinced KonoSuba and KF had shitty animation and is therefore automatically inferior to KyoAni's "perfect" animation.

>>155270731
>zero effort into it
The studio was literally (as in, literally) 10 guys with an incredibly small budget. They put a lot of effort into it, and you'll see that's the case by the 3rd episode.

Honestly when you get down to it neither does /a/, just look at this thread to see tons of people bashing Kemono Friends and accusing of the people voting for it as ironic memesters. Ultimately I find the AOTS polls to be at best a recommendation list, and at worst a vehicle to fuel shitposting for years to come.

Actually you could say nihilism is the ultimate decline of humanity. The minute the common man decides to just "survive" or otherwise grind it out solo on a low paying easy job and devotes his being entirely into escapist hobbies is the minute that the entirety of society will begin to decline. And the most devastating part of it all is that once that feeling of not caring sets in, even if you realize or get told it we still won't care enough to fix it.

As for Konosuba, this season was complete shit. The humour isn't funny anymore, and Lalatina needs to find a new schtick, especially if she had that many fucking episodes centered around her.

If you see voting for something else as "voting against kemono friends" then you're just retarded and doesn't accept different opinions. I watched and enjoyed it, but it was not AOTS material for me. Not everyone has to follow the "this is so good and different, ANIME OF ALL TIME" bandwagon.

It is a valid complain tho, or are you a fan of the new Berserk as well? The show was okay, no where near AOTS, but to negate valid criticism is just plain retarded.

Short answer, yes.
You also have to consider that not everyone thinks the CG is horrid. And CG is a sound choice for this series as animating the animal pattern of some of the characters would have been an ordeal with traditional 2D animation.

/a/ must be Friends that love Kemono Friends! Waaai! Sugoooi!

>>155271962
You mean "pretend to enjoy"

Kemono Friends is kinda similar to Shadow of Chernobyl.

Amazing products hidden behind obscurity. First episode is equivalent of Cordon, a huge casual filter, with people who went beyond it gradually falling in love and everyone else wondering what the hell is wrong with those who enjoy it and even better, call it a masterpiece.

>>155271711
You do understand that it's an AOTS poll? Urara not getting votes doesn't mean it's hated.

Kemono Friends easily better than everything else. Most of the low powerlevel posters that occupy /a/ would never be able to see it but it's a legitimate classic and one of the best shows of the 2010s.

>>155271711
I really wanted to like Urara, the girls were so cute. But it was so fucking boring.

>>155271788
If the storytelling is amazing, does that realy mean you can put it into the garbage bin just because the visual presentation is flawed? Also its cute how you always need to point out that "you watched it but its not AOTS material". My argument is not for you but for those faggots who dont give it a chance.
And yes, I watched the latest Berserk but its not to my liking since the story telling isnt that great. Besides, Berserk's CGI looked way worse than Kemono's CGI since Berserk tried to use way to many dark colour tones in its presentation. For CGI, a simple colour scheme works the best (flat colours). But thats beside the point.
Last but not least, I thought it was fitting to use a /v/ reaction image. Considering that my post targets those idiots, they might notice it better.

>>155271942
>50-something comments all insulting people who think Kemono Friends was better than the other boring, poorly executed anime shlop which came out this season
It's sad to see so many intolerant manchildren in one place.

Anime is a visual medium it's not a board game or a book and while I do agree that negating an entire show based on looks alone (with exceptions) is wrong but in the grand scheme of reviewing the show the awful visuals should not be ignored or brushed under the rug because if you do you get fanatics like >>155272120 that try to spin a glaring flaw into something more/something positive.

I might be in the minority of minorities but from start to finish the visuals never stopped being a thorn in my viewing experience, a distraction, I never "got over" it despite really enjoying the other better made aspects like the characters/world etc.

>anime with highest entry barrier is getting the most flak
Gee, wonder why

>>155272309
>>Worst of the Season: Fuuka
That's not Exorcist.

>>155272323
The script is written by the guys who wrote for childrens show

>kemono friends is actually winning, on a shitty place like /a/

how?
how is that happening?

>>155272431
Honestly if you are unable to appreciate that animation is a tool used to tell a story and that different kinds of animation can work better than others for different kinds of stories you probably know very little about animation.

>>155272505
It warmed our cold hearts.

>>155272485
Type your post again but make it legible

>>155272484
Debatable.

>>155272431
well Im not arguing that Kemono Friends is the AOTS. Im simply arguing that everyone here should give it a fair chance, since a lot don't.
I voted Youjo Senki since Tanjya as a character is the most entertaining shit ever and Im german, but Still consider Kemono Friend an anime full of love and passion that deserves a chance.

>>155272548
Are you dumb?

>>155272431
For most people it's not about ignoring the visual flaws, but more about the positive aspects outweighing them by a large margin.
I do think the CG in Kemono Friends is charming in a way, but I'm not going to defend things such as clipping errors or textures disappearing in some shots.

>>155272265
there's also how both are about friendship with animals and how the fans talk about how easy it is to make their own original characters for it

>>155268220
I wonder how many plebs double time now. Just thinking of the possible number is making me sick.

Kuzu no Honkai easily wins this by a landslide

>>155272431
The animation in the show is amateur and flawed but it adds to the underdog charm and moe factor on the production aspect. Like watching a child drawing something far from technically accomplished but still you can feel the effort and sincerity in his attempt.

you know nothing, now fuck off to /mlp/

>>155272556
I'm guessing a lot of those who would give it a chance already have, of course there's those who genuinely don't like it but there's a lot of obvious shitposters that have come out of the woodwork, but that's just the way it goes on /a/, people love to argue and reply to obvious bait.

>>155272421
The problem is that 1k users participated in one of these cancerous threads.

But the CGI doesn't work in favor of KF, it's an obstacle or barrier you need to overcome in order to enjoy it. It's the exact fucking opposite of "working in favor of".

>>155272309
I feel Rakugo is a little bit fujo but even fujos don't care about it. It just cannot win the poll. I liked S1 though.

>>155272577
Possibly, what did you mean by "wrote for childrens show"

>>155272637
Good point.

>>155272660
That they worked on making scripts for children shows in the past.

>>155272556
Looking at Nico viewer stats, the average age of viewers was 30.

Most of /a/ is underage/teens, so it makes sense why it has some hate.

>>155272700
This is why I want sales threads, or the /a/ equivalent to console wars to stay, while they are absolute cancer they at least contain a lot of the shitposting.

>>155272549
Not really. There is nothing redeemable about this second season shit.

>>155272654
It works perfectly well for Kemono Friends. The only place it hinders its popularity is among 15-20 year old casual western anime fans.

>>155272505
Shitposters are nothing but just vocal minorities and most of /a/ avoids shitposting threads such as these, especially "core" Kemonofags, since they know it attracts shitposting solely for CGI reasons. Honestly, these threads along with stalker threads are closer to /v/'s console wars and should be pruned.

Gintama

>>155272588
I felt the same way, the flawed animation gives it this childish, innocent charm that drew people in, but that doesn't really excuse it in the first place and I haven't seen anybody on /a/ yet that says this, with all the money they're raking in we should have a better looking season 2 if it happens.

Unless someone found a way to bypass Google's ReCaptcha, it's not rigged.

Niconico made an article on the success of Kemono Friends and how it shattered records on the site.

http://originalnews.nico/17371?from=ncenq

>75m total views of related contents
>13.5% of viewers of ep1 are female
>Most people are in their 30s, with about 32%. Students are 25% and and 24% in their 20s.
>Growth picked up very quickly by Feb 6th.
>Ep1 on its way to become another sanctuary like GochiUsa ep1
>10x growth in viewership from ep1 to ep12
>ep12 had 280k viewers, 1.2m comments, the highest in niconico's record.
>Only Touhou, KanColle and Im@s has comparable total view in content.
>Nico's total male to female ratio is 66:34. Conclusion is that people who are working and are connected to the net culture make up the KemoFure core cohort.

You cannot contain it. It has finally succeeded in solidifying itself as a franchise. Also notice the age gap between adults and people under 20, which explains why nu-/a/ hates it.

>>155272730
Is that supposed to mean that those people can only produce childrens' shows because they worked on childrens' shows before?

>>155272827
>points out a legitimate fact
>You are just deluded!

I guess you really have no point.

Disgusting, the fact that people actually find entertainment from shows like Kemono Friends, Maid Dragon and Little Witch Academia makes me lose faith

>>155272265
You don't like Disney movies or something?
You're no man to me.

>>155272871
turning your phone data off and on lets you vote multiple times

>>155272079
Just like how last season your favourite was Fune wo Amu and your favourite next season will be Uchouten Kazoku. How predictable anon, just admit you hate shows with female main characters unless they're more masculine like GITS and RoV.

>>155272884
Teenagers just aren't able to enjoy Kemono Friends they are still stuck in the phase of thinking that anything to could be construed is childish is bad. The demographics polls we did for /a/ Kemono Friends threads were much the same. Skewed towards mid 20s and early 30s.

>>155272926
What fact? That in your opinion the CGI works in favor of the show?

That is a much a fact as the earth being flat is a fact. Keep on being deluded tho instead of recognizing that something you like has flaws, like everything created ever.

>>155272961
You still have to do the captcha regardless, and someone can easily do the same by switching proxies. Of course, that'd require an extreme amount of autism. Doesn't matter if its legit or not,someone will always argue its rigged when their favorite show is losing.

>>155272989
The fact that the CG in Kemono Friends only acts as a barrier to enjoyment for casual western anime fans of 15-20 years of age.

>>155265204
Where's the new Ghost in the Shell movie?

>>155272827
I think people just subconciously start applying show's overall quality even on its' weaker parts.I didn't mind the CG of the first go, but when rewatching sertain scenes it caught my eye just how awful it is at parts.
You both hold valid pints on the matter, but the fanart is superb, I hope we agree on that.

>>155273038
1AM time slot during the week, so pretty much no child would have been up to see it. They'd have to catch it on Nico.

well probably because we get a lot of /v/ and /b/ users now. Especialy with /pol/'s role during the 2016 election, 4chan got a shit ton of prime time media coverage.

Seriously, the year 2016 was a mistake
