I honestly have no idea what my list is, because trying to remember every single thing I watched, when I've watched well over 1,500-2,000 episodes of anime this year, would be difficult at best....

Do you not track it on MAL?

Does MAL have a way to tell the date you added something? I wanted to try and list everything I watched this year but I just know I'll miss some if it doesn't

It does, but you have to manually add the date.

Good job on all the anime chaps. I've got like eight shows lined up and haven't seen a single episode in weeks :\

I guess my 2019 resolution oughta be watch more.

oh, well that won't be very useful for me then. at least I tended to add things right after watching them so if I just remember what I watched around the start of the year I have the cutoff point to find the rest

wait... nvm not only does it not have date display you can't even sort by added date why does this site suck so much lol

I have completed Goblin Slayer.

I haven't been as conflicted about an anime as I have been about this. I find the character design, audio design, OST, and general "feel" of the anime really high quality. I watched the sub and it is well acted. The battles and tactics really reflect a reflexive D&D thinker, and it is really refreshing to see an anime based in a Fantasy setting that is more about tactics and just "what works" over fancy techniques and abilities. Need to kill a large enemy? Lure it over a tripline, have it fall down, stab it in the back of the head. No need for some amazing STABBY DEATH move.

Yet, its overabundance of fanservice and the disappointing shock-value use of sexual assault is really disappointing. Especially since the first episode when it aired did not have a warning about it. My wife, who LOVES anime, was negatively affected by some of the imagery to the point she couldn't watch the rest of the series. It is "triggering" to those who have lived through sexual assault, and there was no warning, no indication that such content would be part of the series.

It seems they learned their lesson, as nothing was as... exploitative throughout the rest of the season, but it was still disappointing.

I will personally watch whatever they do next as I feel everyone deserves to learn from their mistakes. The quality is up there, and if you want a more gritty fantasy setting with an intriguing, oddly complex main protagonist, I'd definitely give it a shot. Just be warned, the first episode is VERY graphic. Like, Berserk 1990's level of graphic.

This is on point pretty much how i felt after reading the manga and why i skipped the anime.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Funny that the only character they voiced in this "collaboration event" was the one whose voice actress they were already paying for a role.

1cc'd ten desires. Lost 4 lives trying to get 3 bombs for the parallel ending before deciding to fuck it and get the normal ending

Finally finished Caligula Effect, god what a terrible anime, i'm forced to give it a 5/10 and not lower because it did some things i did like, most notably the music.

The characters were between boring almost non-existent, it took the show 7 episodes to start fleshing them out, before that i didn't know who they were or what their names were since they were never properly introduced or mentioned at all asides from the MC.

The story is kinda interesting, pretty much talks about escapism as a form of coping with real life but taken to the extreme and miu's misunderstanding on what "happiness" means and traps them into this perfect world; while some people loved this (the "villains" of the anime/game), some people started realizing that it's not right and wanted to go back to their real lives to try live their lives properly and try to push through the adversities they live through.

From what i read the game itself didn't have a proper budget and suffers from the same issues as the anime so i guess that's extra points for being faithful to the original story? lol

At least this saves me from actually buying the game and ill just get the OST online or something because man the OST is great.

There have been a number of anime I've seen where the actual shows themselves are middling at best, but have god tier soundtracks

The song for the commercial break was the most memorable part of 35th Test Platoon for me.

I added an entire extra point to the score I gave Absolute Duo on MAL because the OP/ED songs were just absolutely godly. The show itself was average (or maybe slightly above) in pretty much every way.
