>implying its anime

that's not KnT

That isn't dtb 2

agreed

That is Bakemonogatari

>>33401959
That isn't the best anime of 2009

Thats not Needless

>>33401885
This isn't AOI BUNGAKU.

>>33401984
No, it isn't.

>>33401885
That is Kuuchuu Buranko.
I agree.

>>33401885
thats not needless

>>33401885
yeah so what if it was...

>>33402041
That was needless to point out.

>>33401885
Pretentious shit
>>33401947
A bit above average shoujo show
>>33401959
Substance-less action shit with terrible plot.
>>33401984
Average, substance-less show

THE BEST

There needs to be no need to chose the best show. It's needless.

>>33401885

It's either this or Bakemonogatari really. I'm leaning more to Trapeze though.

Needless to say, pic related.

All of these shows aren't Beast Player Erin.

>>33402303
That pic was pretty much needless.

>>33402153
oh boy, we have a critic here

>>33402337
Your post isn't about Anne Shirley.

K-On! or Bakemonogatari
Only ones I actually remember from last year

>>33402347

>>33402434
K-On came out in 2007, are you OK bro?

>>33402153
>Implying you even watched Aoi Bungaku

Rebuild 2.0 was the best, regardless of how you feel about it.

Just shut up.

I'd have to agree with OP

>shounen
>best anything

>>33402530
Point discarded, Rebuild 2.0 is not on tt yet.

>hipster shit
>good

>>33402153
>DTB S2
>Substance-less action shit with terrible plot.
>Needless
>THE BEST
Yeah, sure. Both of them were bad/mediocre though.

>>33402555
Needless to say, but you are really not paying attention.

>>33402574
>implying that matters
oh_u.jpg
btw, it's on TT, just not the DVD/BD

>greentext everywhere

It was a damn good show, but that's not Aoi Bungaku.

boku no pico

>>33402530
>shitty remake of a shit show, best of anything

>>33402627
Rebuild 2.0 physically can not be watched unless it's 1080p. It's not out yet, what are you talking about?

>>33402471
>pretentiousfag who only watches 2 or 3 anime a season he considers worth watching unable to understand how I could find his boring plot-oriented crap not good
Go read the books instead before you spew shit.

>>33402658
Shut up, it's actually good. And I'm not even a evafag.

>>33401885

Trapeze and Needless both kicked major ass.

needless is the only anime that mattered last year, thats why its the best

>>33402700
Everyone knows why. You have a shit small attention span.

I'm going to show off my good memory and say Toradora, the most toradorable show of last year.

Last year was a pretty fucking terrible year in that it was entirely made up of decent/good shows at best. Not one truly great show.

Trapeze is one of my favorites from last year, along with... Shin Mazinger, Tetsuwan Birdy Decode 02, Aoi Hana, Bakemonogatari, and MAYBE Eden of the East. I'd consider all of those shows fairly good, but not great.

>>33402766
you are also showing off your shit taste

>>33402779
Your shit taste is showing.

>>33402779
>bake in top list

confirmed for shit taste. never comment on the quality of anime again

Either Shin Mazinger or Cross Game were the best last year.

>>33402838
>>33402798
shit-taste mind.

show us yours lol

>>33402779

Hashire, Melos! and No Longer Human was great.

>>33402917

Aoi Bungaku was decent at best IMO.

No Longer Human was OK but it was obviously a stripped down adaptation when it got to the last episode.

Run, Melos was far too fucking melodramatic and overdone, I prefer the director's earlier work, Mouryou no Hako.

My favorite was Kokoro, personally.

>>33402700
Why would I have to watch more than 3 shows a season if I know most of them aren't good? You're telling me to read a book while you watch every piece of shit Japan pulls out of their ass? Also, I even picked up 'No Longer Human', the first story in Aoi Bungaku, and read it. Nice try.

>>33402917
Too bad all the other parts of Aoi Bungaku were of sharply varying quality. I'll give Madhouse this much on the series; they tried doing something different.

>>33402980
Each story had a different artist...

>>33402956

MnH was shit only stupid pretentious fags fap to.

Smart pretentious fags watch good shows instead.

>>33403028
That explains a lot.

Needless = typical shounen shit

>>33402779
>Shin Mazinger
>Aoi Hana
>Trapeze

Doesn't sound so bad...

>Bakemongatari

8/10, nice troll.

>>33402956
>Run, Melos was far too fucking melodramatic and overdone

Considering it was based off a Greek myth, I think the overblownness of it all fits. It was a nice contrast to Kokoro's subtleness.

>>33402956
Not that person, strangely enough I found kokoro to be too melodramatic and boring. Melos is my favorite, so moving. The last and the first stories were quite good too.

>>33403037

Mouryou no Hako was cool for all of the symbolism and how beautifully it was directed, but yeah the surface plot ended up being fucking stupid. I liked the show overall.

>>33403028
More like each story had an entirely different creative team behind it. That's a problem with anthology series inherent to the format. But it's one that I'm more than willing to live with given the creative freedom allowed.

The 3DPD disturbed me at first but I got over it.

>>33403139

The direction wasn't that good, it was just moderately competent... which only makes the fucking stupid plot more obvious and intolerable.

>>33403219

Totally disagree with you there, I loved how Mouryou no Hako was directed, and it was a beautiful looking show without being ostentatious about it.

But yes I'm not going to dispute how dumb the plot ended up being.

>>33403219
Japanese are bad at ending stories in general, so I'm happy that is was only one episode of "lol that's how it all happened" and previous 12 were full of delicious speculations.

>>33403303

I don't consider stupid color saturations and after-effects filters beautiful.

Just posting to say that I agree with all the people that said Aoi Bungaku was the best.

>>33402404
SUBS WHERE

>>33403374

>stupid color saturations?

What? One of the great things about Mouryou no Hako's art was the naturally beautiful and earthly tones.

>>33403422

Not sure if serious.

>No Longer Human was OK but it was obviously a stripped down adaptation when it got to the last episode.

Have you read the novel? I heard it was a very competent adaptation.

>>33403095

Apparently, the modern parallel story of friendship was not in the original. Nakamura Ryosuke is a damn talented director.

>>33403460

I don't see the problem here. That was a beautiful scene where the luminescent sheen enhanced the vague surrealism of the first episode. Most of the show consists of earthly greens and browns.

>>33403639
>very beautiful scene

-Badly drawn characters
-Lazy color choices, not very appealing or interesting
-Boring scene composition

I hate amateur artfags.

Haters gonna hate

I hate pretentious faggots.
>durr hurrr, I only watch DEEP ANIME

>>33403868

That picture isn't very flattering but the scene itself was quite gorgeous.

The character art is definitely the weakest part of MnH's aesthetics, though.

>>33404051
Silly anon, clamp art style cannot be unappealing.

>>33404223
I'd let him treat me, it you know what I mean

>>33404167

Code Geass

>>33404296
No. not really. Maybe i'm immune after all those years of reading/watching their works.

>>33404292
No, I don't know what you mean.

>>33404167
>clamp art style cannot be unappealing.

>my face when patients head started to turn into weird animals

>>33401885
I agree with you, actually.
Also, thanks for the periodic art dumps, Shota Doctor.

>>33404358
It's called a vitamine injection

Ordered the novel last night thanks to you anons. Thanks.

>>33404653
Awesome. Do tell us how's it when you get it.

>>33404697
I can tell you right now that it's awesome. Irabu is a true bro.

>>33404737
Any major differences from the anime?

>>33404763
There are 2 stories that weren't in the anime, one even involving a woman. The other 3 stories are ones from the anime but even so there's a ton of differences so it'll be a new experience.

>>33404811
Oh and of course Irabu is all over this woman since she's like a model or some shit.

>>33404811
So tempting.

>>33404854
You should get it if you haven't. It really is worth it.

What's sad is that only one book was translated into English.

>>33404934
I'm sure that there'll be more, eventually.

>>33404934
Maybe if we continue to buy the first they'll translate the second, knowing sales for the first were good.

>>33405023
The German translations are still being released (3rd book is coming out in August).
The only book available in English was released in 2006.

Sadly, I don't think so.

>>33405139
;___; fffff....

>>33405038
If I wasn't such a poorfag I'd order it.
Anywhere where I could read it though?

>>33405294
I don't think it's available online. Not sure about that...;_;

>>33405294
There's only a 6 page sample on amazon, I think.
IMO it's not that expensive. I got mine for 15€

>>33405697
I have barely any funds and I already bought the Baccano! boxset this month.

>>33405980
Say, where is it on Amazon? Can't find it.
