Made in Abyss was a pretty cool show. I don't know what my expectations for the franchise going forward but I really liked the original TV series at least.

Aria is very good. Cannot recommend enough if you like slice-of-life anime.

Uranus definitely my pick for most underrated movement from The Planets. It's so bouncy and jolly and I love it.

I don't like it quite as much as Mars or Jupiter admittedly, but that is true of like >95% of music.

I think I dislike more of Team Mycro's retirees than I like.

Also you mentioned this in the partial writeup on the spreadsheet, but I'm comparatively not a fan of the Evo version of Unfathomed Force, to the point that I would not even support it if someone else nominated it. I do like some of the Evo tracks for Zero/Ao but this isn't one of them.

I don't think you need to feel bad about not finishing a project which you don't have the drive/desire to finish. At least not from the perspective of disappointing us, because I'd like to think that no one here is going to hold it against you.

Great top 3. Also like Madoka and FMAB a lot.

Not a huge fan of Your Lie in April but whatever I guess I can live with it.

Wish Penguindrum was more widely watched than it is. I haven't watched Sarazanmai yet, but I expect I'll always view Penguindrum as Ikuhara's magnum opus despite the fact that Utena has a much bigger place in the anime culture or whatever.

I didn't like season 2 as much, though I primarily blame the author for that rather than the studio. It still had some good parts but also some not good parts.

I kind of like option 2. Option 1 I am not a huge fan of but it's not a dealbreaker by any stretch.

I am more or less neutral towards letting retirees back. To be honest I think a lot of people just wouldn't nominate them in favor of new songs anyways. I'd probably more inclined to do another Tournament of Champions if anything but I'm not sure this topic has much impact on me regardless.

The praise for the bullying arc is something I will never understand about March Comes in Like a Lion. People mostly talk about it as a highlight but for me it almost got me to drop what was otherwise a top 25 show easily.

Asobi Asobase very good. One of the only comedies that would make it anywhere close to the top of my list. I love how over-the-top the humor is and also yes the faces are amazing.

Welp. Those might actually be #1 and #2 on my least favorite OP's if the decade list.

Flyers is a solid song but doesn't fit the show at all and actively detracts from the emotional state the show is aiming for. Kimi no Sei I actually just hate everything about it D:

Pretty big fan of this OP. Also the one from season 1 but this one is better.

I care about MHA! I just don't really have anything in particular to post here about it.

I really liked Mirio's and Kirishima's episodes, but I actually haven't been as big on the Deku vs Overhaul fight that's happening now. It's still good just not really the highlight of the arc for me when it feels like it's supposed to be.

Heaven's Feel movies so good.

Early Heaven's Feel is possibly the worst part of the entire visual novel and yet the movie was still fantastic. Once the route gets going it really gets going though and the 2nd movie did not disappoint. Hopefully the 3rd one continues the trend.

So was O Maidens actually well received enough to be in consideration for that list?

I thought it flew under people's radars and also personally thought it was kinda bad? I don't really know how the people that did watch it reacted to it however.

Aw yeah Kimi no Furete. Great show and great OP. All of the flowers in the OP are very pretty.

I think Ebb and Flow would be a favorite of mine if not for the segment where the singer is talking. Putting talking segments in songs for any length of time is most often a good way to drop a song from top tier to bad tier.

Chihayafuru S3 Episode 13

Friendship ended with Chihaya/Taichi. Chihaya/Suo is my new best friend.

(Ok not really but they are pretty hilarious together)

Still hoping Harada-sensei wins the match but it seems unlikely thematically after they went through the trouble of doing the thing where Arata is emulating his grandfather. Match is pretty cool either way though.

I want a season 2 of Bloom Into You so badly. The anime is a top 10-15 anime for me despite not even getting to most of the best scenes from the manga. But yeah the manga is also good.

Also glad to see Baka and Test. Actually one of the first 20 or so anime I watched and I've always been a fan of it.

Yes I agree Yuu/Touko is an easy slam dunk for best couple of the decade.

If you really want the answer;

He does not get his powers back. Him potentially getting them back one day has been brought up and discussed, but there is no indication that it will actually happen. He's still a fairly active character in the series.

MHA manga spoilers

I already knew the answer to the first question because I was already spoiled, to be fair. I just didn't want to unintentionally spoil anyone else who was following the anime. I was only really asking about the second question.

Anyways, so is that like they only mention the possibility once and then forget about it, or has it been a recurring plot thread that's brought up multiple times?

I guess if he's still an important character it's not such a big deal either way. Mirio and Overhaul are two of my favorite characters in the series and I don't want both of them to be gone after this arc. (I don't know what happens to Overhaul but him being beaten and then mostly left behind seems like the overwhelmingly likely possibility. Don't tell me if I'm wrong on this.)

Question for those that are mostly caught up on the MHA manga

Spoilers for the most recent episode of the anime
Does Lemillion get his powers back and the end of this arc? Assuming not, how seriously if at all does the story consider the possibility of him getting them back at some later point in time?

!!!!!

I thought I was the only one who liked Aoi Shiori. It's probably just because everyone always talks about the ED instead but oh well. (The ED is also great to be fair) Sure for me it's like a top 5 OP of all time but whatever I'll take it.

Also a big fan of the Nozaki-kun OP. I was hoping to see the OP to Tada Never Falls in Love on the list, which is by the same singer, though it might be a bit weird to see it place higher than the Nozaki-kun OP which I like much more

As far as Durarara OP's go I much prefer Uragiri no Yuuyake, but Complication is pretty good as well. I think the higher energy song suits the show better though.

Yona of the Dawn a very underappreciated show. The ending (or rather lack thereof) is unfortunate but everything else about the show was great. Yona was a really good character imo

MHA S4 Episode 11

Very good fight. Overhaul and Mirio are two of the best characters this show has produced and it's really going to be a shame that I'm guessing both of them will be taken out of commission with this arc.

I hope Mirio can get his power back somehow.

Rise of Skywalker beated.

Unsure on where exactly it fits in the ranking but it's solidly mid tier Star Wars. Action was great as usual. Some of the parts of the movie were overly cheesy (like when the cavalry arrives at the end), but it's kind of supposed to be a feel-good movie so whatever.

I don't know how to feel about Kylo Ren's arc. I feel like the opportunity to give him a redemption arc already passed last movie and this just feels haphazard as a result. Would have liked it more if he just stayed a villain. It's unclear whether my criticisms of that arc should be directed at this movie or the last one, but I liked The Last Jedi more so whatever. Also I don't know why Palpatine was back but he was great in this movie so I won't complain.

Low-key the best thing about the movie was the song that was playing as Rey was exploring the ruins of the Death Star. The haunting and ancient sounding harp notes overlaid with the strings playing a somber version of the Imperial March was just *chef's kiss*

What it amounts to is that I don't think the story/characters of the Star Wars series are anything noteworthy aside from maybe the top 2-3 in the ranking. But, at least all the other ones in the middle have good directing/special effects/action sequences such that I can find something to enjoy with the combination of all of the above. Episode 4...doesn't and is just bad all around.

I guess I will continue being the only person who enjoys episode 1. Jar Jar is dumb but I pretty much like everything else about the movie. Naboo is just a cool planet in general; I liked the podracing scene as well as the stuff with Palpatine; and the entire ending sequence is great.

My ranking of the movies I've seen (episodes 1-8) is probably something like 5>8>3>6>1>7>>>4>2
