But most good RPGs also don't suck for 6 hours.

FF13?

Honestly that game got bad to me when it opened up. First 6 hours was the best part!

People come on.

6 hours is a long time.

If a game is bad for the first 6 hours then it's still a problem, even if it gets better. Even Tales of Graces insane awful opening was 4 hours.

I dunno, a lack of soul seems pretty accurate. The demo felt like an RPG Maker game.

People usually don't finish stuff they truly think is bad, so worst anime is a bad idea. Also leads to people wanting to vote for things they didn't actually watch.

I don't think Dunkirk is a bad movie, it's clearly very successful at what it wanted to do. For me, the only thing keeping me from falling asleep was the explosions.

"I think Cuphead should be higher." - Abby from Brooklyn

The demo was shockingly boring. I had no idea this was supposed to be a big release.

The pervasive desire to present unnecessary negativity in any situation in order to create a hostile atmosphere is why Nanis has to be a bottom ten user on this board.

You realize Seph's made multiple posts about Affirmitive Action nominations, right? <_<

Loving Vincent got nominated though, so that's cool.

Well they do always have to go with at least one artsy foreign animated film that nobody has heard of.

That said it looks cool as shit and I wanna know what I gotta do to watch it.

also how the fuck did The Boss Baby get nominated best animated

Pissed off and of course completely unsurprised at the lack of A Silent Voice in the animation category.

I think the past has shown that the reasons for both of these are obvious.

"I'm insulted they're asking me to vote on a cartoon."

"I voted based on what my kids liked."

"I just picked at randomn, as long as it wasn't one of those Chinese cartoons."

I think it's 100% reasonable to not be super into FRANXX yet or even think it's bad. I fully expect something amazing, but it's been super weird so far!

The idea of Trigger "ripping off" Evangelion is just all kinds of wrong. Not trying to be mean about it, but considering it's Trigger that just doesn't work. There's a good chance that several people recreating those Eva shots actually worked on them to begin with.
---

"I think Cuphead should be higher." - Abby from Brooklyn

I would keep Most Dissapointing but also add Best Surprise. I don't think negative awards should be shunned, they can be fun too. Worst character is something I'd like to see, for example.

Worst show doesn't really work, though, as you've said.

I'd like to see more out there awards in general, like some of the stuff Giant Bomb does. No harm in it.

I do agree the setting and premise so far are like an Evangelion rip off so we'll see if they can make it more realized

Ripoff and homage are very different things. Several scenes have been DIRECTLY lifted from Evangelion on purpose.

Cross Ange was a nightmare. I actually realized earlier yesterday after Killing Bites got brought up that, no, there definitely was a worse first episode than that.

Sunrise lost their exclusive privileges when they made Reconguista in G. Gonna take a long time for them to make up for it.

pls

I want to forget this existed, it's the literal worst Gundam I've ever seen and I've seen those shitty CGI IGLOO Gundam OVAs. Literally nothing happened in 26 episodes. Tomino jerking off to his shitty formula of "argument by protagonists > pointless bad guy mecha of the week > bad guys retreat > nonsensical monologues by protagonists > episode ends".

the early 2010s have been dark times for Sunrise mecha but fuck that shit Unicorn makes up for everything

I was so hyped because of the character designer, but alas!

swordz9 posted...

There have been some pretty shitty Sunrise mecha the last several years. Those Geass movies nobody cared about, Valvrave, Sacred Seven and Buddy Complex to name a few

Holy shit I totally forgot about the absolute nothing that was Buddy Complex.

As for Valvrave, I will regrettable never forget about Mecha Piloting Rape Vampire Body Swappers the anime.

"I think Cuphead should be higher." - Abby from Brooklyn

....Really? The part I expect the anime will cover was so awful that I permanently dropped the manga. I'm expecting it to be 2018's biggest shit show, and I'm pretty sad we're dropping most Dissapointing because of it. I would consider this stretch of the manga "hilarious".

Different strokes, I guess!

"I think Cuphead should be higher." - Abby from Brooklyn

The only "mech" anime currently announced is Trigger's Ultraman.

I enjoy it a lot but I understand the people going WTF. To call it blatant with it's sexual references would be an understatement, there isn't a minute without innuendo. The characters have been intentionally kept in an environment where it all flies over there heads (no idea what kissing even means), though, so it makes for quite the dialogue.

Still probably hovering around 4th for the season for me, excluding Devilman.

"I think Cuphead should be higher." - Abby from Brooklyn

Vento Aureo I like even more than Diamond is Unbreakable, which is the third best to me, though that's not a common opinion. It's easily the one that I think will be the one to benefit from being animated the most, if they pull it off. Of course Steel Ball Run takes the #1 slot for both regardless, because it's just insurmountable.

I like Stone Ocean but it's certainly going to be the stepchild of the series once the anime starts.

"I think Cuphead should be higher." - Abby from Brooklyn

I'm extremely interested in reading the original to compare.

I made a big post about why I voted for the studios I did back when voting started and not a single person even made an effort to humor me with a response, lol.
---

"I think Cuphead should be higher." - Abby from Brooklyn

I know. It's just frustrating. If that's how the votes go then I agree it should go.
---

"I think Cuphead should be higher." - Abby from Brooklyn

I very much disagree, but that's gonna vary person to person. I don't give a shit about Made in Abyss animation, but it sure has a vote for art. Vice versa for some people would be Land of the Lustrous, though I don't personally agree.

Studio is hard to vote for. I watched around 40 shows that came out last year and that amounted to only three studios where I watched three or more anime from. I would need to watch way more than that if I want to avoid making my Studio of the Year nominations just a mirror of my Anime of the Year nominations.

I don't really have a problem with the Most Disappointing category. But I guess it's easy to say that when I haven't had any problems with the results.

You see I just don't think you should have to watch a bunch of shows from a studio to vote for them. I hate the idea of Best Studio being determined by volume, makes the award seem pointless. It should awarded based on some kind of triumph or advancement for the studio, not "oh well I liked 3 Shaft shows" or "BNHA was my #1 for the year so I guess Bones".

Speaking of warped results, The Anime Awards at Crunchyroll are currently allowing me to vote a second time with seemingly no way to stop it. Maybe because I wasn't on Wi-Fi earlier? I'm using the same phone...

Last year especially I thought it ended up really fucking with the results.

Didn't voltch remove it last year?

It may have been the year before that. I can't ACTUALLY remember the specific issue, sadly. I just remember being super annoyed after the results came in and arguing about it for a long time, as I tend to do.

I'm most likely axing Disappointing (Not an award, invites negativity for no real reason) and Studio (I feel like nobody actually cares about this one)

I care about this one a lot but hate how people go about voting in it, so I wouldn't mind the axe.

tazzyboyishere posted...

Combining art and animation might be the best way to handle it. I do think there's some shows that fare significantly better in one category, but they mostly go pretty hand-in-hand.

I'm actually super against combining these, as I've said in years past. Last year especially I thought it ended up really fucking with the results. To me it's no different than combining Best Soundtrack and Best OP/ED.

Aha. Honestly, I could kinda see it being the opposite with MIA or LotL, since a fair number of people thought the early parts of those shows were the weakest (and might've dropped them if watching while airing). I still managed to watch 50 series from 2017...

I feel like people would pick them back up once word of mouth started coming in, even if they had.

After reviewing the year I can say without a doubt that I would not have watched 10 shows in 2017 if I was waiting until they were over.

Mac Arrowny posted...

What do you mean by this? I don't think waiting til things are over really affected anything here, other than maybe Magus's performance.

I think a lot of the "wait" people end up watching a good half dozen to a dozen less shows a year than they would have otherwise, under the guide of "well I am only gonna watch the best of the best".
