I voted for every Category in the Crunchyroll Anime Awards except Best Couple and Best Comedy.

  • Anime of the Year: I wrote in Jojo. I like Erased, Mob, and MHA, but I prefer Jojo.
  • Hero of the Year: Deku. He'd be cliched as the protagonist of an American superhero comic, but as a shonen manga protagonist, he has a lot of unusual traits.
  • Villain of the Year: Kira. He shows that you can be unambiguously evil (without even any excuses, really) and still be a complex character. Gaku Yashiro from Erased is basically Kira with less depth, and Shigaraki's motivations are a little too abstract for my tastes (although I like the way he develops as Deku does).
  • Best Boy: Deku again.
  • Best Girl: Rem. My head says Uraraka, but the criterion for this category mentions the heart, and Rem is in some heartstring-tugging scenes.
  • Best Fight Scene: Deku vs. Kacchan. It has clever tactics, but it's also used to explore the characters.
  • Best Animation: Flip Flappers. Definitely the most visually interesting show.
  • Most Heartwarming: The Kayo scene.
  • Drama of the Year. I wrote in Jojo again, although after reading the criteria more carefully, I should have wrote in Re:Zero.
  • Best Couple: I'm waiting until I finish Flip Flappers and Izetta before I vote for this category.
  • Best Comedy: I haven't watched any of these shows...
  • Best Action: I wrote in Jojo again.
  • Best Opening: Mob. The song really stands out. Rakugo has great art in its opening, but an average song.
  • Best Ending: Space Patrol Luluco. For the distinctive use of actual photographs more than the song.

That Hand Shakers PV is doing all sorts of technically difficult things with those rotation shots, but it looks all so bad. Weird.

akiba's trip does the character interaction stuff i like in undead & undressed pretty well but the art and animation is really inconsistent and the fanservice gets weirder than the weirdest parts of undead & undressed

This thing looks sort of like Izetta if Izetta were uglier and replaced its fluffier bits with more cynicism.

Doesn't sound like a great pitch.

Ai Mai Mi was pretty funny, never heard of this series before and this appears to be a 3rd season. Will probably watch the previous ones at some point since its so short.

There's a certain tone I'm expecting of it, hyper-serious super soldier is actually in a squad of rejects and goofballs who frequently get sent on suicide missions, so I might be disappointed.

So basically Votoms season 3 with Magical Girls.

I've few things I care about this season and those I'm going in with low expectations. So far that's worked for me with Akiba's Trip which I'm already enjoying. I hope it'll continue working for me with Youjo Senki.

i'm pretty mixed on the akiba's trip anime cause while i like the cast and it looks like it'll have the kind of goofy character stuff i liked in undead & undressed, even for an anime based on a pretty fanservicey game, i feel like the way it handled the fanservice got weird sometimes

my expectations were very low, and it didn't exactly exceed them by much. I might still drop it if it starts to creep me out more than make me laugh, which is not a possibility i'm discounting

tanya looks bad to me, but the voters have spoken and i will be forced to watch it. since voting seems to have died down, i'm culling the list and here's the deal on the stream:

The first Winter 2017 Seasonal Stream will happen this Sunday! I'm aiming for early afternoon (2pm CST?), but since a few shows air that day, we're going to be at the whims of any airing delays/sub delays for unlicensed shows. The planned lineup is:
- Little Witch Academia
- Akiba's Trip
- Youjo Senki/Saga of Tanya the Evil
- Demi-chan
- Idol Incidents
- Seiren
- Minami Kamakura High School Girls Cycling Club
- Nyanko Days (short)

Time updates will be posted day-of in the lovely livestream thread.

and because why the heck not, the second stream shows have been decided on, by me! it's a much lighter week of premieres and i don't think anybody would strongly object to Hand Shakers, Marginal#4, or Chaos;Child being left out. it'll be sometime the 13th/14th (updates later), and the lineup will be:

- Gabriel Dropout
- Onihei
- ACCA
- Kemono Friends
- Chiruran (short)
- Piacevole! (short)
- One Room (short)
- Kobayashi-san's Dragon Maid
- Kuzu no Honkai/Scum's Wish

Urara Meirochou seems extremely cute. The premise is that the main character Chiya comes to a city where girls from around the country go to become uranaishi who divine fortunes, and becomes an apprentice uranaishi together with three other girls with the intention of becoming the greatest fortuneteller, an Urara. Well, that's the premise, but mostly they seem to just eat a lot.
