    Does anyone here have game/games they developed, let's call it, Stockholm syndrome, that one game that is either populated by cancerous players, has shit for brain dev team that does not even play their own game to know of the problems first hand, or is generally broken by bugs or stupid mechanics? Game that frustrates you all the time, and yet you come back to it all the time?

    Grinding 5.7 Germans tanks in War Thunder is really wearing me out this week, thankfully there is 24/7 eurobeat stream going on on youtubes and it's the only thing that keeps me from losing sanity.

    Ok so I'm not as disciplined as the others, so I'm doing what I did last year-my chart includes everything I watched this year, new and old. And I feel like I watched a pretty good amount of anime! It's my second year of really watching a lot of anime and it was rly good. We just finished watching Steins;Gate literally 7 minutes ago, so I think I am ready to post. 

     

    Here is the chart, open in a new tab to view best! I made it too big just like last year. I have a section for best seasonal stuff that was actually new, and then I bisected the year for everything else. The other superlatives are just everything mashed up. I hope u enjoy!

    Here are my thoughts!

     

    Spoiler

    I do not have the modicum of self-control that Alex up there has. Your Name was the best anime I watched this year and all others. It was just... really fucking good and I'm a sucker for love stories. Say it's overrated and I won't fight you or write an essay because I'm not that kind of person. Kizu was a masterpiece and as Alex said, it was a perfect slice of everything that makes Monogatari great.

     

    Man actually everything except for KLK were things I watched with friends and I think Alex summed things up well for Monogatari so I'm just gonna go on to old anime. 

     

    Konosuba was a really fun show. The first couple of episodes didn't grip me if I remember correctly, but I'm so glad I stuck with it. The later parts of season 1 were really fun, but S2 just blew it out of the water and I blew several gaskets. BNHA is fun shonen and I really love the characters. During the first season I remember smiling from ear to ear and just asking Tobias if he had time for another, I just wanted to keep watching. Season 2 just kept delivering. The only problem I really have with the show is that I find the villains absolutely devoid of interest. Hopefully All for One fixes that in the next seasons. Non Non Biyori was really damn comfy and since we're gonna be watching Clannad next, I know I'm going to need to watch some Repeat to tend to the wounds. Lucky Star was pretty great and still has the grooviest OP, but I found myself losing interest about 75% into each episode, but Lucky Channel and the EDs always brought me back. Mob Psycho 100 was really great, I liked it more than OPM actually. Every character was endearing and engrossing, and I loved the experimental animation and rougher style. Gunsmith Cats was a fun 80's action movie and the detail put into Chicago and the guns was great.

     

    Two of the shows we watched deserve recognition I think: Jikan no Eve (Time of Eve) and Shinsekai Yori (From the New World).

     

    I have Eve as my surprise of the season because of how I discovered it by chance and how much I enjoyed a show I would otherwise have never heard about. It was referenced to in The Talos Principle by an Easter egg, a game that shares many themes with Eve- the philosophical issues with AI sentience, human rights, and what exactly makes a human experience. The quality left a certain something to be desired, but the world felt... real? The slight melancholy of the situation felt real somehow, which added an underlying aura of tragedy to the show. Found it really hard to wait for the next viewing session for some reason. Good show.

     

    Shinsekai Yori was a show that Alex told me directly that he thought I'd like for the world, its mechanics, and how the story revolves around them. And he was right! While the animation quality was probably the lowest of anything I'd watched this year (barring Teekyu maybe?), the system and rules that society followed in Shinsekai Yori were great- there was a concrete way things worked, and the plot lied in how the characters could overcome these problems by discovering ways around these limitations. When the big reveals became clear it turns out both Alex and I were reminded of a certain couple of pieces of fiction which was a fun moment. Also it rly reminded me of The Giver and that book made me really sad in middle school so yeah.

     

    MC of the year was nabbed by Okarin late. Fucking incredible character, I'm happy his suffering is over... right?

    Konata was a good girl and the other two continued to deliver. Kizu Araragi was interesting to watch.

     

    I fucking love this frog holy shit. Good character, good person, I love her. Also the rest of the girls.

    Shinsekai Yori proceeded to reduce the veracity of my claims that I don't want to kiss old women.

     

    OPs were good! Alex summed up my thoughts on Monogatari's. Owari 2 had the best, but Mob Psycho 100's was the most impressive, even if it's a safe choice. Gunsmith Cats' is really nice, recommended watching. Dreamy Date Drive did really fuckin cool things artwise.

     

    Endings were good but lacking in general. I liked those two artsy ones the most.

     

    I tried watching Tamako Market since I thought the setting would be really fun and would feed my nostalgia of the places I went to in Japan, but the humor and lack of substance didn't do it for me and I had to drop it.

     

    Bonobo culture came out of nowhere?? also the dog was a good boy

     

    Worst folks speak for themselves, but somehow Shining Finger won a little bit of sympathy and I fucking hate Patricia. Other Americans are anatheme to me. Kiroumaru and Tessie were the MVPs for Bro, but Kirou has to take it. Fucking. Legend.

     

    Good year!!!!!

    I just had one where someone asked me to buy a bottle of water but I didn’t have enough money. So so someone opened a kickstarter for me to get a dollar to do so. Stretch goals involved Devolver developing and publishing a new Putt-Putt game by taking suggestions from 4chan if they got $1,000,000

    >saving people

    >satisfying the god of death

     

    Seems fishy

    The god is much more one of those “keep the balance between life and death, if it’s your time to go, it’s your time to go, and FUCK necromancers” kind of guy, it seems.

     

    Basically a while ago my character died in a pretty rough battle and through DM fiat we summoned the setting’s death god to make a deal to bring me back since we were all really bummed out and it was the first time we had a party member die. My guy came back with 60 days to find, coincidentally, the woman who had wronged him in the past and kill her since she had cheated death as well and had upset the balance.

     

    54 days later we get to my hometown and find a way to interrogate the girl who we’ve been toting around after (justifiably!) kidnapping her. Turns out she was magically restricted from talking about why she framed my family and how she cheated death, and she was able to tell us that this duke fucker had enthralled and cursed her. So we stormed his keep after gaining the support of the townsfolk and forced him to confess to his crimes against the public with Zone of Truth, which pretty much justified an execution, which restored the balance in the Death god’s eyes. This broke the curse on that woman so we were able to let her go. 

     

    And yeah i got my parents out of prison and got a fuckin sickass scythe and took a level of undying warlock from the death god for keeping the bargain. My character is becoming kinda edgy from all this but it all happened so organically from the story that I love it.

     

    well I guess we saved approximately 3 people rather than a bunch but hey
