So, if Konosuba is a satire/parody, is it making fun of the fanservice throughout and how pathetic the protagonist is?

March Comes In Like A Lion was the only show I consistently watched, was fantastic. Good mix of light-hearted humour and serious subject matter about expectations, abuse, and existentialism. But I didn't watch many others enough to vote.

I think it's frequently compared to "It's Always Sunny in Phili" just because of how flawed each character is and how terrible they are to each other. The comedic timing and character interactions are what make the show so funny.

March Comes In Like A Lion's placement is fine. By the time it turned into a great and consistent show it was kinda too late to place high.

Your Name hasn't even had a disc release and under the usual rules we've used wouldn't have even been eligible this year.

Yup. Show only really found its beat with the second cour.
It means you either value particular shows more or certain shows less. That's all.

Your taste aligning or not with AnimeGaf ranking means nothing really.
I thought films that had general cinema showings in ones region were eligible. The problem is Japanimation films has scattered releases throughout the world so we never have a year where everyone could go see it.

Your Name's NA release was one week in one theater in L.A. IIRC.

Im waiting for the day when animeGAF rankings will be in line with my animes. Its sad that I can individually name the people on one hand that watch some of the same animes I like each season.

Sword Art Online Ordinal Scale & Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Side of Dimensions better make every list in 2017!!!
We'll always be Cerberusbros.
Was a pretty limited showing in the UK too (but not as extreme as that).
For a previous year example, Love Live only had two showings for the whole of Europe, and they were both in the UK, whereas the States had a whole load scattered about. And if we were to go by the DVD/BD release, well, the UK is still waiting for that.
Movies are never going to have a nice hard and fast rule that can suit everyone unfortunately. I know I've voted for films one year after the majority simply because of how slow the UK was to get it.
Yeah that's what I meant - it should be #1. Worth seeing in the cinema.

That's cool. Mob Psycho and Diamond is Unbreakable were the only anime I watched last year.
I thought Mob Psycho was alright but I understand why it's #1. The animation and opening is crazy good but the writing and characters were nothing to me. DiU is much more well rounded.

We had a lot of fun with Kiznaiver. It's nothing groundbreaking, but it was entertaining as hell.

jojo was robbed.
It got second place which is pretty good since many tend to vote for new shows rather than continuations of what they've already been watching.

No it didn't. It placed second, the highest it's ever placed and it's a series with over 100 episodes.
Jojo has placed every single year since it started, no other show can do that.

Just going off of the ones I know, Erased adapted 100%, Kiznaiver is anime original, Konosuba is currently on Season 2 and while there is a story the Comedy is really what you are watching it for.

Every year I:
1) Remind myself that I really should vote at some point
2) Nod at the 30-40% of the top 10 I agree with
3) Peruse the replies for the real gold

Also, anyone who votes for Your Name next year over A Silent Voice and In This Corner of the World is a bad person.
Silent Voice has an even more limited release in the UK than Your Name did.
Seems I missed the one London showing cos it clashed with my holiday.
But really, we need some better rules for films than "year you saw it in the cinema" cos it just spreads the votes too much over a bunch of years.
That's the point? It dilutes the casual votes via confusion and allows the cartel who actually care about politicking the process to push through the winners that need to win.
