Anime in the 1960s looks completely alien today.
But is this the oldest show to ever be part of SMFAS? Astro Boy has never been in the running.

Another new entrant, but this seemed to have done well come end of year discussions for AOTY across various locations.
Is this on Crunchyroll, OP's provided by Funimation so this is coming to CR sooner rather than later. Could be worth checking out!

What are the biggest door manufacturing companies?

Michelin, Bridgestone, Goodyear are all in the 9 figure range per year like lego.

As someone who has Suisei as a firm oshi, gosh this is a good cover, best one since Phony.
Though tbh, it's the MV that helps massively since it works really well with the story of her ascension. This wouldn't work with so many others, but they have different stories to tell.

I'm feeling an original song this month to celebrate her Bday/Anniv combo. Ghost and Stellar Stellar are the ones she released for her top tier landmark moments, so hoping we get something on that level.

Oh dear this is a disaster.

Any Japan Post service to most Euro nations using air freight has been suspended.
DHL or boat, no way am I letting nendoroid sized boxes on a boat.
DHL tho is akin to price gouging these days.

Bottom 10 get the boot, so those new shows might be seeing their legs cut off before they ever had the chance to make a run

Smash hit in terms of manga sales, think it had a live action property women went absolutely wild for as well.
I don't know much beyond it having gangs and a lot of hot blooded dudes punching it up.

Laplus got stuff leaked, but instead of creating a Sio nuclear scenario it ended up making her more likeable.

Whew, she great

th3l3fty posted...

when are we starting

When I'm back from work

At least combining Lupin absorbs Castle of Cagliostro into it.
I believe that film is just a storyline set during Part III?

Oh it was Part 2.
That and the Mine Fujiko anime is sort of it's own thing too.

In any case who be winning it all this year?

And so this should be our field for the year.

The only part I am unsure on is if Lupin III part V should count as its own thing or if it should be welded into a general Lupin III.

Jojo and Monogatari include all parts and in the case of Jojo we've got a different protagonist each part. But Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works are same timeline and share characters but I have split them. For now I'm ok leaving it as it's own thing.

Speaking of Hololive merch, getting worried about the Fubuki Nendoroid.

Got the A2 Nendoroid which is from Toytech who are handling the Fubuki. I thought after the Chika/Kaguya disaster they would up the quality control. But while the 2B is ok, the A2's paintjob seems to be of lesser quality especially when compared with other Nendoroids I have like Musashi or Aqua.

Didn't help one bit at all, that the box came damaged in shipping, so while the Nendoroid itself is fine, the cover used to display Berserker mode is bent pretty badly. A disaster. Though at least so far it seems to be the only time it's happened.

Would have me terrified to ship anything like a mug or plate or anything that can break easily in transit.

Miko finally put to bed the PekoMiko stuff

Basically sounds like while they are friends, they got a little sick of the pressure from fans to create more teetee collabs.

Can sorta get it, just cos they have good chemistry together doesn't mean you have to ship them. Unless they play it up like Noel Flare or Okakoro.

Yeah the conclusion to the Nene drama is more or less how the Miko x Marine Tokimeki stream should have gone.

I guess shittalking Council, would harm any collab that could have happened in the future.

But Vtuber fans seem to be on the younger side, so I can understand them getting into a console war type tribalism. It happens for everything people consume.

We've seen over the last few weeks that even minor incidents turn into big dramas because the audience decide it wants this to become a big deal. The Nene stuff in particular was bad but at least it looks to have blown over.
So yeah kind of up to the fanbases on this one.

More drama incoming?

Demon Slayer

The artist being the Yuru Yuri mangaka.
Who has made official merch for them as well.

This burger has nothing in it.

at least one of the stars gave him a shout out.

Mikeneko's channel uploaded something, cat video.
Unsure if she'll be Vtubing or not, but if she does choose, wouldnt be surprised if artists lined up for the opportunity to be the mama.

SMFAS returns for another year, but this time around it will be a bit of a slimmed down version.
This is in part because lockdowns are over, but also to reduce some of the filler.

The aim is to have a 60 entrant contest, but I may bump it up to 70 at most.
I have some very high hopes for some of the expected new entrants this year

Nomination Rules:

-You can nominate up to 4 shows, with 2 double noms
-Bold your double noms or they won't count
-35/45 (depending on reception) shows with the most nominations will be entered into the contest
-Feature films are not allowed, films that are part of a series will just count alongside the show (Ex: Kizumonogatari or DBZ movies get integrated into Monogatari and DBZ)
-OVA series (ex: LotGH or 08th MS Team) are allowed, as are established film series like the Kara no Kyoukai series
-If I don't think a show should be in the contest for any particular reason, I'll remove it from the nom list.
-Make it clear which show you are nominating, there are many YGO/Digimon series and other shows have been remade.
-The top 25 shows from last contest are automatically entered.
-With a reduced field, top 20 shows qualify for next year (subject to change), bottom 10 shows get booted for from next year's contest.
-Nominations period ends around Sunday night (GMT)
-For the last few spots, if there are ties, I will eliminate some using random.org.

The following shows are in as automatic entries:

We got HoloEn fans here, Ina/Ame fans for sure.
In any case, free download off Pixiv for some pretty good fanart.
Pretty good way to see which artists are making cool shit that makes you wanna check out their other work

Ai's live concert tech is so good
This is feeling like the end of an era, but at least she gets to have a proper sendoff unlike the other big names from the period.
