whats your show of the year so far?

I only finisheed Rakugou, ACCA and LWA so those 3. I also finished FlipFlappers but I wish I had dropped it.

LWA and Bahamut

LWA isn't Anime

Seems legit.

You'd have a point if we were talking about the Castlevania adaptation, but whether you like it or not LWA is anime. It was directed, written and had its music composed by japanese people. It just happened to also have westerners as the target audience, whcih is unusual.

There's so much wrong with this show -- pacing, exposition, plot holes, but what bothered me the most is the tone. They failed horribly at mixing the serious nature and the comedic timing that it comes off manic, awkward, and sometimes just weird. I drudged through the first season in hopes the second season would have new writers and a better story. I was wrong. The only reason I went against my better judgement and ignore the two episode rule, was because /a/ hype. This happens every fucking year. I fall for a meme, then spend months following a show getting angrier and angrier every release. this isn't good for my mental state. I would say I won't listen to /a/ anymore, but I wouldn't even believe myself at this point.

fml and fuck the anime industry for shitting out these low effort, crash-grab turds that masquerade as quality to rope in brainlets and plebs..

ACCA was one of my favorite shows from winter but my AOTS was Akiba's Trip. As for AOTY it's would have been Akiba's Trip but the ending of Tsuki ga kirei made it a potential candidate for AOTY.

I never finished ACCA having lost interest halfway through. It would have worked better as a film. My favorite show this year is probably Tsuki ga Kirei. It's flawed and receives undue praise in certain regards like directing, but I enjoyed and was engaged with it more so than anything I've seen in the last several seasons.

Epic reaction image /v/ermin, fuck off. And, yes, ACCA have great visuals, backgrounds and soundtrack, but that's it. They wasted 8 episodes building up to some coup that did not happen in the end. If the show was just about Jean traveling Dowa and exploring the different states while doing his work it would have been my AOTY hands down, but the whole plot was just a waste.

Bahamut.

>>159683201

There is nothing pretentious about ACCA, the only problem is that the ending was lackluster and it felt like nothing really happened, the twist was okay, I guess.

Dropped halfway through so I didn't even get to the ending. It was interesting in the beginning but it went nowhere fast.

>Impliying that's a bad thing.
It isn't. But while comfy, shows like that feel pretty generic and tend to be forgetable. Isekai Shokudou would be a good example of this in the season.

normally winter is a throwaway season of shoddy anime but now it's shaping up to be the best season in 2017.

Is it due to global warming?

Nothing particularly bad or exceptional. I guess it's well paced enough to maintain interest until the end? Insert typical mobster story ambigious ending trope.

>>159682154
I don't think there's been a "proper" good show or anything, so I pick Kemono Friends.

I'd use Rakugo, but that was season 2 so it doesn't quite count.

The way Bahamut is progressing I'm holding out on naming it my personal AOTY. It's getting worse every episode now.

>Julius Caesar is made into the antagonist of an anime.
>Also a part of a romance subplot that's about as mature as anime gets with the theme. It's not cynical or crass like scum's wish, nor is it unwarranted, contrived, or overly rosy. Charioce is a sweet guy, bound by his own sense of responsibility and perception of the world to embrace his most monstrous qualities.
>He's all-around an interesting character for his merits and his flaws. He calls Kaisar naive, unworldly, because arrogance is one of his own flaws. It's not a mistake that the show has Kaisar disarm him a few episodes after that using the metal arm that Rita fashioned for him. It's a statement about who's actually the veteran in their relationship, who's properly disillusioned about the horrors of their world.
And that's just my favorite character from the show. The whole thing is intensely beautiful too. God bless the nips and the retarded amounts of money they blow on GBF.

>>159685316
I meant to download the OP when I was really into this but then it ended and I lost all interest. In the end it was nothing more than a comfy fashion and bread show, the actual "plot"/conspiracy was just kind of tacked on as an excuse to show hot guys being mysterious and sexy.

That pretty much describes ACCA. I enjoyed it for what it was, and the threads were comfy. But the ending was such a blueball. It was all building up to some shit going down, but shit barely goes down and in the end nothing has changed except for the fact Jean's love was unrequited and she was pretty much leading him on for information.

>>159687236
The implication of Rakugo's ending regarding Konatsu's child left a bad fucking taste in my mouth.

>>159682154
Definitely Acca-13. It doesn't have the terrible plot twist of Rakugou.

>>159682154

As of right now:
1. ACCA
2. Kado (ep. 1-9, series ended at that point)
3. Frame Arms Girl
4. Made in Abyss
5. Magical Circle Guru Guru

But in the end Made in Abyss will end up in #1 for the year if not the half-decade.

>>159682154
ending sucked
Would not nominate for aoty

This was the year of great potential and terrible endings. I can't call an anime a masterpiece if it fails so badly during the ending

I am enjoying Atom.

Where have all of you ACCA bros been? I loved it because it was nuanced, character driven by actually likable people, and completely consistent. At first I was underwhelmed by the ending, but in the end it fit. Though, the princess promising her father that she would be useful to him one day really made me believe that Jean would return to be king. Oh, well.

Though, Kado surpassed it as AOTY for the first 7 episodes, then it backslid so far it's become a source of resentment. So much for political sci-fi.

Right now SnB:Virgin Soul. I liked ACCA a lot but like others said the ending was shit. That said it also depends on Virgin Soul's ending too. A lot of shows that have great potential usually have shit endings for some reason.

>>159682154
definitly not acca13, that shit was the biggest dissapoingment this year.

it was a big false alarm because the opening was a masterpiece.

if it comes to anime in general. snk s2 so far.. if it comes to original anime, kobayashi (yes, this year is so bad kobayashi has chances of being the best), but made in abyss, kakegurui and ballroom have chances of being better and better

>>159687953
>Abyss
If they adapt it faithfully (and the producers said they would), it's going to be on several AOTY lists.
If they ever do a second cour, it would be on some people's AOTD lists.

LWA, though that's pretty much the only show I've watched this year as I've mostly been working on my backlog

>>159687975
Youjo Senki's ending wasn't terrible, the story just wasn't completed

I really liked the guy they sent to Not Vegas.

Honestly, Acca-13 needs an sequel to actually show what the aftereffects of the coup were before I can consider it a masterpiece.

You have a very set taste in anime if those are your favorite.

>>159687736
Am I the only one that liked the ending? While I was watching I realized that they were spending a ton of time on world-building and that the show was not supposed to be about the actual operation of a coup. Seeing how they resolved it while simultaneously ensuring ACCA's future seemed pretty smart to me.

Interesting. I felt a bit dissapointed by S2. Somehow the world building of the first season felt ruptured. I felt that aside for the great impossibility of some of the locations, which was much more prevalent in S2, a sense of the magical realism within Kyoto was gone. Maybe it was due to a greater lack of familiarity on my part of Kyoto and it's traditions, but I felt that this was no longer grounded in the same realm as S1. That being said, I really enjoyed the second half of S2.

Probably ACCA.
Runner-ups would maybe be Onihei or ID-0.

>>159682154
Uchouten kazoku
Unironically one of the best of the decade

Like many others in this thread have said, my top 3 are Rakugo, ACCA, and Uchouten Kazoku.

>>159696474
How was ID-0? I dropped it a few minutes into episode 1 because the CG was bugging me, but if the rest of the show is AOTY material I can probably get used to it.

ACCA bros I love you. to the other bros that didn't like the ending: is it because there ended up not being any violence or action? to me the fact that the entire climax is some expert political maneuvering really fucking stands out. you know the show is doing exactly what it came to do when they make a man grabbing another man's hair of all things feel so jarringly violent. it's the most violent act of the whole show and that's so damn cool.

if you're still upset there wasn't any actual combat, then the other 35 shonen battle anime per season have you covered.

>>159682154
This year has been pretty outstanding so far imo.
Rakugo, ACCA, Uchouten Kazoku, and Alice to Zoroku were all great stuff, when it's rare that I can find even one show I really love in a season.

I'd have to say Rakugo is the best though.
