there were no memorable shows this summer

Bakemonogatari, easily.

Endless Eight

Haruhi.

Bake-fucking-monogatori.

There is no show capturing all of /a/ this season.

Haruhi again, Umineko and Bakemonogatari in second maybe

>>23586235
Is this a remember when thread?

Haruhi S2 trolled /a/ really, really good.

Umineko currently gets the most threads

I only watch sugoi anime for sugoi persons such as my sugoi self.

Haruhi and Spice & Wolf.

Deviant waifu is best waifu

It wasn't during summer really, but that taiga show did catch /a/ up for a while, whether you hated it or loved it, it was posted fucking everywhere.

Now I can't remember the name. Christ. All I remember is Taiga. Toradora. There we go.

Bake-mono-gatari

Bakemonogatari

Umineko?

Bakemonogatari is douchier than bleach

Haruhi again.

WHO WAS PHONE

erminus: its amazing, used to be #1 in MAL, and its the same company that made Evangelion. It's all about doing the impossible and going against all odds, even fate and the universe.

Bakemonogatari

Anyone that doesn't admit that umineko is the summer flavor is fucking desilusional.

THIS SEASON IS ALL ABOUT KUROSAWA.

>>23586467
>desilusional

Oh.

BLEACH

>>23586413
But not as douchy as you.

Nothing

K-ON

There's no troll show this summer. /a/ got so shitty spamming one show over and over to piss everyone off doesn't have the effect it once did.

K-ON!

I'm glad this season is so awesome there aren't any newfag-magnet troll shows.

I think we should all pretend Summer '09 never happened.

>>23586275
Delusional.

>>23586260
>>23586274
>>23586344
>>23586348
>>23586464
Proof.

DRAGONBALL KIA

>>23586494

Your dising me, fellow?

>>23586573

I'm a newfag, and I love this season

>>23586559
This.

>>23586573

What about Needless?

None of the shows have reached an epic point yet. Can't decide.

And Endless Eight is NOT epic.

06: utawarerumono
07: ttgl
08: sw/s&w
09: biribiri/SUGOI anime

Haruhi S2

Best show has to be Bakemonogatari though.

uuu uu uu uuu uu uuu u uu

Umineko is the most popular show this season. But it doesn't dominate like the others did.

ONE PIECE
SHOW OF THE YEAR
EVERY YEAR

>>23586949
14% other stuff
12% Canaan
20% Spice and Wolf II
22% Bakemonogatari
32% Umineko

Cool bakemonogatari, aniki.

Haruhi S2.

Doesn't matter if it sucks, NOBODY. FUCKING. CARES. ABOUT BAKASHITOGATARI OR THIS CANAAN SHIT. NOBODY FUCKING CARES. PEOPLE ONLY WATCH IT BECAUSE THIS SUMMER IS FULL OF UNSPECTACULAR ANIME

>Summer '09

Endless Summer

>>23586235
god code geass summer was the best

Lol 0/10 everyone knows bakemonogatari is the best show currently.

>>23586235
you got it wrong bitch.

Summer '06 :Haruhi

Summer '07: LUCKY STAR

Summer '08: Code Geass

Summer '09: Bakemonogatari

All anime sucked this year
/thread

Obviously Haruhi S2. Way too much trolling power.

Aoi Hana

>Implying anyone gives a shit about Bakemonogatari

>>23586235

The fuck? Is that Revy?

>>23587125

It's sad cause it's true ;___;

thread ended with >>23586254

All these shows were never really the only big thing in their respective seasons.

07 had Lucky Star for example, which was at least as popular as TTGL.

Same this season, Bakemonogatari and Umineko are the most popular shows.

The Bakemonogatari-trolls we'll of course say their show without any proof.

At the end of the day Umineko is the most popular though so probably them.

>>23587077

If only that were true. At least Endless Eight is better than this horrific Umineko crap.

Sugoi baka monogari, aniki.

K-ON actually qualifies for this.

I remember /a/ being nothing but ten pages of K-ON threads when the first few episodes aired until some janitors deleted every thread. Considering download numbers its the most popular show as well, and trumphs any show this season by a mile.

>>23587214
>Comparing TTGL/LS popularity level to Bakamonogatari/Umineko

Summer '06 :Haruchi

Summer '07: TTGL

Summer '08: Code Geass

Summer '09: Umineko

Anybody that says otherwise is in denial.

>>23587288

K-On was spring. We're discussing Summer.

The Code Geass times wern't as bad as everyone makes them out to be. I remember just before the first season aired when nobody was looking forward to it. Someone posted a youtube of the OP and i figured it would be interesting. But when it came out it didn't get immediate subs and /a/ ignored it for a time. It wasn't until R2 that fags got ahold of it and shitted up the whole board.

>>23587239
Go back to watching the same episode you've been watching for the past 7 weeks.

>>23587231
There are more people who download Bakemonogatari weekly than Umineko, with a 50% margin.

Considering Bakemonogatari didn't have an established fanbase on /a/ already (Umineko did because of the translated VNs) I'd say its more popular.

did someone say penis?

>>23587330

Summer '09: Naruto Shippuden

>>23587316
Haruhi (which is in the OP) was a spring show as well, so K-ON qualifies. The second half aired in the summer after all.

>Umineko is the most popular
Trollface etc.
No one give a shit about it except those fags who played VN.

KYON KUN, DENWA

>>23587091
You mean:
Summer '06: Haruhi
Summer '07: LUCKY STAR/TTGL
Summer '08: Code Geass
Summer '09: Haruhi S2
Summer '09: Haruhi S2
Summer '09: Haruhi S2
Summer '09: Haruhi S2
Summer '09: Haruhi S2

>>23587375
You keep thinking that buddy.

>>23586484
YES

Here is the unbiased truth:

2006: Everyone with bad taste learns who KyoAni is--everyone with good taste already knew who made FMP2 and Fumoffu. Also Ray Romano.

2007: TTGL drives everyone into a frenzy, and Seto is a better comedy than Lucky Shit.

2008: Strike WitcODEGEASS CODEGEASS CODEGEASS CODEGEASS CODEGEASS CODEGEASS CODEGEASS CODEGEASS CODEGEASS CODEGEASS

2009: Bakamonogatari is fairly popular, Haruhi achieves universally-recognized troll status, KyoAni goes bankrupt from people returning their original Haruhi DVDs in protest, and Seacats remains popular with the 4 people from /jp/ who don't hate anime and make hundreds of posts about it.

Summer '09: Kyon-kun, denwa.

Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

>>23587402
>KyoAni goes bankrupt

Yeah, no. K-ON is on track to become KyoAni's most successful show next to Haruhi S1.

Instant shitstorm.

>>23587402
>Seto is a better comedy than Lucky Shit.
By a long shot.

>>23587402
>2007: Seto is a better comedy than Lucky Shit.

>>23587077
Pretty much this
>>23587081
CG summer was hilarious

>>23587402
Those 4 people must possess magic to be able to make so many threads and posts at the same time.

don't mind me, just passing by

>>23587474

>>23587474

2009: Bakemonogatari, Saki, Baseball Girls, FMA(v2)... there's plenty to nii-pah about this year.

Presumably we'll see more posters going apeshit over FMA once we hit some of the more exciting WHAT A TWEEST arcs that the first series didn't reach.

k-on

It's easily Umineko or Bakemonogatari in terms of populartity. I havent watched Umineko, so I'm going to go with Bakemonogatari. When I do get around to watching Umineko, its going to have to do some hell of a job to beat Bakemonogatari in my opinion.

I've onjly seen 1 episode of Umineko, is it just pretty much the same as Higurashi, or is it more interesting?

>>23587522
Speaking of which, from which episode on should one bother watching FMA2?

>>23587493
They have nothing better to do anyway. NEETs, mother basement, etc.

>>23587505
>>23587516
oh, you must think I like Ruki Suta. Negative.

Seto no Hanayome really is that shitty. Not trolling here.

>>23587375
You know.. that may be true but most anime fans end up playing the visual novel because they're impatient, so in they end up as visual novel fans.

>>23587522
A lot of the non manga readers already dropped FMA2 because they were too impatient.

>>23587551
Uh... damn... like 5 episodes ago, when they went to Rush Valley.
Sorry I can't pinpoint precisely.

is umineko good or not?

>>23587570
Get out. /a/ loves SnH

>>23587570
>Seto no Hanayome really is that shitty. Not trolling here.

Konnnnnnnnnn

>>23587551
Um... I think it diverged a couple of eps ago? I dunno. I haven't bothered keeping up with it, but I know it's diverged already

I for one enjoy when /a/ isn't taken over by a single show.

>>23587474
i'm a moefag and i find you and your opinion, troll or not, disgusting

>Summer '06 :Haruchi

>Summer '07: TTGL

>Summer '08: Strike Witches

>Summer '09: Saki

There, now it looks better.

This Summer didn't have much of interest, so it will be known for trolling and how bad Endless Eight is.

>>23587474
It's fine if you don't like SnH...but saying it isn't a better comedy than Lucky Shit is just plain trolling.

>>23587570
>Seto no Hanayome really is that shitty. Not trolling here.

>>23587612
>>23587597
There's always one or two SnH fanatics per thread who can't seem to accept that people don't really like their show, it just don't get trolled because nobody cares about it.

>>23587474
Kill yourself.

Bakemonogatari.

>>23587668
More like everyone who has decent taste.

I tried watching Bakemonogatari. Kind of boring and the weird camera angles and random screens of text are just distracting.

>>23587647
Because it has to be a troll when someone's opinion doesn't match your own right

>>23587668
>nobody cares about it.
I wouldn't say that. There are a few SnH threads a week that get well over 200+ posts and hit the image cap

Seacats

>>23587660
>>23587618
>>23587587
>>23587566

This anon speaks the Truth!

This season's Haruhi is only popular because of KyoAni EE trolling, but that's only good for generating hype and money for ther studio.

It's benefinnig for THEM at a certain degree, and the popularity (although it's mostly a negative hype) in undeniable, but as far as WE, the audience are concerned, it is shit, because "trolling =/= good"

It is popular "now", in a way that people really DO talk about it a lot, but it won't be remembered as something good, thus it will simply fall out of history and will only remain as a possible negativ reacord nobofy will acare about.

The fans will pretend it doesn't exist because it suxx, the Studio will pretend it doesn't exist because it will brought in no money, and in the end nobody will WANT to remember it.
Although I'm sure Bakemonogatari and CANAAN will be forgotten too.

They are good in their own ways, but neither seems to grab a really great fanbase.

Bakemonogatari

>>23587719
No, I'd agree with him.
It's because you have your genres confused: Lucky Star isn't a comedy.

You could say Lucky Star is a better moe slice-of-life than SnH, but calling Lucky Star a good comedy -- when it's not a comedy at all -- is either ignorance or trolling.

>>23587738
you don't know for sure

umineko...but...you must wait 4-5 episodes for AWESOMENESS

SUGOI SUGOI

>>23587715
Episode 5 is shit. Lol randum confess, BAWWW imma dead snail is so sad

It's like I'm watching FLCL with 1/500 speed and without the awesome music

>>23587738
In other news, L&BH scans fukken WHERE.

We haven't had a chapter in months. I heard something was going on with snoopycool, but seriously...

>>23587719
No. Lucky star isnt funny, aside from the lucky channel, and that's being nice.

Umineko's popularity on /a/ is going to last until the visual novel finishes. 2011 when it'll be fully translated.

>>23587734
please just write "umineko" instead. seacats makes me think of scat.

>>23587474
son, you've brought down the wrath of anon

Summer '06 :Haruchi

Summer '07: TTGL

Summer '08: Strike Witches

Summer '09: Endless Summer of nothingness.

THIS IS NOW A SETO NO HANAYOME THREAD

>>23587636
This.

Summer 09

Trolls. everywhere

Hence Endless Summer wins

>>23587786
This. A thousand times this.

>>23587711

If by "having decent taste" you mean "starting to see anime this year". Because I refuse to believe that someone who has seen anime for more than 1 or 2 years and with a decent culture doesn't feel sick by watching the same shit already seen in 28468934 other harem anime, or romantic comedies, but done worse. You know, scratch that, even when it manages to be done right, I feel sick. It's just THE SAME SHIT OVER AND OVER AND OVER.
IT WAS TIRING IN RANMA, IT'S FUCKING UNBEARABLE NOW. GET THE FUCK OVER IT, JAPAN.

>>23587833
I wouldn't reccomend that. Not during daytime /a/. Wait until night.

>>23587719
when you find lucky star funnier than seto it means your sense of humor is shit or troll. Mind you this is coming from a lucky star fan.

>>23587474
I agree completely

>>23587859
B-B-But I want one now...

>>23587852
Calm down kiddo, it's just a discussion

>>23587852
Don't bother, it's just two or three butthurt Seto fanboys in here. Nobody else needs convincing.

>>23587887
wait until night, otherwise you're gonna have this troll on your ass

>>23587801
>HERP DERP ANONYMOUS IS LEGION

>>23587918
I can't believe there would actually be a troll in my thread.
That's something that only happens on the internet!

>>23587852
>Is applying his/her logic to the one type of anime he/she dislikes when the logic works for all types of anime that he/she likes/dislikes.

Seriously, if you dislike something try something other then it's unoriginal.

>>23587852
I agree with this, I really wanted to like it and sat down for some awesome comedy. It really isn't that special in any way and the jokers were the same thing done before. I don't know maybe /a/ hyped the show too much but as it stands the show isn't hugely popular nor would I call it obscure and I am happy with that.

>>23588021
Please stop the samefagging. It's painfully obvious.

>>23588035
Not samefagging, and it's kind of funny how you just can't accept that people don't like your show.

>>23588035
I can accept that more then one person doesn't like my favorite show, why can't you?

>>23587918

It doesn't really matter, I just wanted to get it out of my chest. It was therapeutic, in a way. Also the same could apply for Hayate, or any other harem shit is airing now.

wow this certainly turned into a shitstorm.
have a sage

>>23587852
Ranma 1/2 was never good. Seto no Hanayome, on the other hand, is one of the greatest comedies ever created.

It has been compared to some of the timeless classics of comical literature such as The Divine Comedy, MacBeth, and the original Batman TV show.

>>23588089
Except Seto no Hanayome wasn't a harem.

ITT butthurt SnH fags

>>23588153
But we'd be lying if we didn't admit that it did have quite a few harem-like qualities and cliches.

>>23588153
Uh..

it's a harem comedy.

>>23588089
>or any other anime that is airing now.

Seriously.

>>23588223
No, it's a romcom. Think about it.
The theme of a harem is "Which girl should i choose?"
Nagasumi only cared for San since the begining.
Also, only two girls wanted his cock, San and the class president.
Mind you, it did have a few harem themes, but in the end it was a genuine romcom.

>>23588153

Sure, whatever makes you sleep at night.

>>23588008

You know, you have a point. That's probably why I'm quite picky with anime these days. But the harem genre is one that I think suffers more from this than other ones (yes, even more than shonen). Maybe because the premise is absurd in the first place.
Also it's not the only flaw in SnH, far from it, I just wanted to rant about harem shit. And it's not even the worse, really, there's Hayate for that. Shit, I could rant about Hayate for hours, it fails in so many ways it's not even funny. I was actually ashamed to see Watanabe being involved in that episode.

The Broken Music Box

>>23588253
>The theme of a harem is "Which girl should i choose?"

Not really. I'd say that more often than not, the main character doesn't even want most of the girls craving for their cock. That's also why school days was the best harem anime ever.
