asked no one. but here it is. It's two months late and I just finished flip flappers so I thought, what the hell, lets do it. So what did you think of last year? Some pretty good anime, right? Did anything catch your fancy out of the blue? Did the alien in Jojo live up to your expectations? Did the kuma miko conclusion hit home with its accurate portrayal of mental disorders and then leave you without any sort of resolution? Who was best girl? Winter Spring Summer Fall Here's the template again, I have fun filling it out so

I watched a lot more new/currently airing anime this year than usual (4 or 5), so I'd call it a solid year. JoJo was great, as expected. I don't see how part 5 is going to top it unless the King Crimson memes are on point, but that's just because the Duwang Gang are such an endearing band of lovable motherfuckers that it's hard to top. Boku no Hero was a bit of a surprise to me because I hadn't read the manga. I expected it to be average to good shonen fare, but MAN I love Deku, and his rivalry with Bakugo somehow manages to feel fresh and exciting. Maybe because I actually like both characters in their own way instead of hating the edgy rival guy. Tiger Mask W was my biggest surprise of the year. I don't even like wrestling, but I gave it a shot just for shits and giggles and I'm really enjoying it week after week. Watching Tiger Mask and JoJo back to back nearly gave me testosterone poisoning when they were both running concurrently. Konosuba is great, though I jumped on the bandwagon a bit late (as in I caught up about a day before the most recent episode of season 2 came out). That show is genuinely laugh out loud funny, and a gold mine of reaction images (with Aqua's snerk in the most recent episode being perhaps the best yet). My MOM watches and laughs at the show, and she doesn't even like anime. And I think those are all the ones I watched through this year. I need to watch Mob Psycho, just haven't gotten to it yet. Anime I attempted to watch: Magi: Labyrinth of Magic (not as good as season1, dub took a steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep nosedive in quality) Dimension W (boring, overall meh) Drifters (seemed interesting, for some reason I just stopped after 1 episode) Endride (not even Ian Sinclair could save this) Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash (my brother and I took bets on how long it would take the Cleric to die around the middle of episode 1. We watched up to that point, then stopped.) And special recognition goes to Taboo Tattoo for "most generic anime of the year", which I dropped after 1 episode. Endride gets second place.
