Tsuritama is like the Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope International: quality titles that are just, by their very nature, going to be overlooked and neglected by most people for other titles that just scream mass market popularity appeal.
To this day people still havent heard of Tsuritama while everybody knows like JJBA or Sword Art Online. Rather unfortunate.
Man, comparing Tsurutama to SO4 is one thing, but to then to associate SO4 to quality...
I'm crying. How do you do this!? T_T
All of anime is pedophilia so this isn't a big jump.

Your sister has good taste.
As for your Eva question, uh, you probably wanna delete that.

A totally valid position.
Didn't you just watch Tsuritama a little while ago? I think that's just the recency bias at work.
Yup. That's why I reserved it only to Top 5 for me.
Nah. I really think it's great.

You really should get around to seeing it.
I need to learn to filter this thread better; Every night I think "Today, I will finally (re)start something of value like Utena or SDF Macross or LotGH right after I catch up with the anime thread."
Then 2 hours later I lose all will to do anything. Still, the AotY results and the fallout were interesting.

I can't think of anything specifically with story content like Fruits Basket, but it's director, Akitaro Daichi, is pretty idiosyncratic in his style. I don't think I've seen anything from his back-catalogue with a comparable tone, but a lot of stuff has a similar sense of humour to it at least. Unfortunately, I'm kind of blanking on things at the moment (I've had a long day...), so can't think of any specific recommendations to throw out off the top of my head.
Saying that, whilst it's nothing at all like Fruits Basket, I'm reminded that more people really need to see his one-off OAV Makasete Iruka (released by ADV under the rather unfortunate name of Grrl Power). It's really neat, and has some absolutely terrific animation.
welp, I've had a sealed copy of this sitting around for two or three years but it looks like it's time to chuck it out of the nearest window.

They have better taste than us
Kids on the Slope is on there, so that can't be right.

You say that about a list with Sword Art Online on it?
It's fun to do this every once in a while.
The important thing is to keep the thread bumped to get more people into our anime community.
Never forget:

You can tell a story has a problem when you feel like the most interesting story climax and character pay off occurs 2/3rds of the way through the series. Kiritsugu is certainly the most interesting
This is kind of a problem I've had with Fate/Zero S2 since it ended as opposed to a something that crept up on me slowly and this is reflected in where it sits on my rankings.
saltier 'n' some Tony chachere's fried chicken I tell you what!
Hellz yeah. You know it.

Some of them didn't even watch Jojo and were voting on manga nostalgia alone. Not that anything could be done about it however.
Kayo~ sounds more moe.
Actually I thought Kirei was the most interesting character in the show and the climax related more to him than anything. Kiritsugu also got some development too. His climax character development-wise was
inside the Grail where he realized he fucked up
A lot of the rougher animation is due to Ryo-timo being the animation director, he likes to let animators do their own thing. It sure has some nice sakuga, though.
Yeah, I thought it was great! And this is coming directly off the heels of seeing Sword of the Stranger for the first time, which I thought was just alright - despite the amazing action. I don't really mind different styles, or more simplistic approaches (I resisted the urge to post certain screens because they just looked down right derpy when still), but as long as there is some momentum and the right kind of energy, roughly animated sakuga can still be just as good.
I would be inclined to agree. A lot of emphasis is put on story, and sometimes I think we place too much. While it's true that it's important, a lot of other things count just as much. In this case, Kids on the Slope had some amazing music, and impeccable pacing. KotS's story wasn't interesting to me, but the show still managed to hold my attention, despite that. I think that warrants some acknowledgement.
Wait... it does? Hahah, oh man... then you don't wanna know what I thought User CP meant.
They were duped because it was titled like Steins;Gate
It does. I decree it!
Still watching and still annoyed.
To be fair I voted for JoJo despite having watched one episode of Battle Tendency.
It's not the mecha anime I want.
I've been wanting to see this for ages. Utterly fantastic. All aboard the glorious CG future!
It was never going to be.
Doesn't mean I can't be annoyed by it.

I thought there were other star ocean 4 fans here, I cant be the only that spent 80 quality hours with Edge Maverick on it.
Well the other problem is the protagonist being a mobile-games-playing douche.

Gotta be more specific than that. This is anime. It's this one.
Define nothing happens. I don't think I've seen any show where nothing happens. Not quite sure how you could even do that unless you made an anime about watching paint dry which would still have things happening in the form of the paint drying.
And this is why Jojo's place is meaningless. Too much bias.

Its should have a spot in my 2013 list since this second half is really taking off well from that strong ending of the first half...though changing the op was an ungood move.
7/10 here. Girls und Panzer and Space Bros were an honorable mention though.
Haven't watched the K-On movie and not really planning to.
Perfect! Wreck-It Ralph isn't even out here until next month so I'd not been able to see it. What a marvellous short. Thanks for the link.
