Monster

Former champion, now available on Netflix, I should probably have a look again.
So, is Monster Urasawa's magnum opus, or is it 20th Century Boy? or Master Keaton?

I didn't realise that Monster didn't make the field last year. One of the quirks of finally dropping out the auto slots.
Guess Pluto brought back some love for his works.

You'd think with the success of various death games series there would be appetite for more degenerate high stakes gambling.
I had to get my fix by watching Uncut Gems instead. There is so much manga left to cover.

The Dangers in my Heart

https://animethemes.moe/anime/boku_no_kokoro_no_yabai_yatsu/OP1-NCBD1080

I think initially I may have seen the ads for it and chalked it up as another series where the protag gets teased.
Like Uzaki-chan, Nagatoro-san and Takagi-san. But seems like this led me to overlook a series I may have enjoyed if I'd given it the a chance.
It's on my list of things to check out, don't have HiDive though, so that might be another reason why I overlooked it.

Also yeah, it hasn't escaped my attention that the OP is by Yorushika who I rate highly, but people were letdown with their OP for Frieren.

Odd Taxi

It appears we're down to just one OLM show, that studio seems to be structured into separate units.
Dark Gathering and Odd Taxi came from diffferent teams apparently.
In any case, quite a few good series came out the Pokemon anime studio.

For an original show to just come in and place 2nd right off the bat was unusual.
Then it turned out to not be a flash in the pan as it pushed through hard last year finishing ahead of DBZ and Baccano.
Bit of a comedown this year, but it's what happens when there's priorities.

Favourite pig anime character?

I was somewhat surprised to see this show even get nominated as I thought it'd be way too obscure.
But I did see quite a few eps back in the day. Those old VHS tapes had a lot of shows I've never really seen subbed.
