Little Busters taking advantage of real baseball anime SFF.

I'm going to try and watch a baseball anime before this topic ends, solely so can vote in the poll!

Sorry the only sports anime I may watch is the "Football" one, that is Captain Tsubasa.

Would recommend One Outs if possible since it's relatively short and great

Well that is stupid.

Watching:
Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card Arc
Citrus
Darling in the FranXX
Gakuen Babysitters
Hakumei to Mikochi
Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san
Koi wa Ameagari no You ni
Mitsuboshi Colors
Mrchen Mdchen
Nanatsu no Taizai: Imashime no Fu/k/katsu
Violet Evergarden

Man this'll suck, but thankfully I'm done with school for a while.
---

I'm really excited for S;G0, but I wouldn't actually wanna skip winter <_<

Is it "airing"? I have no idea what that show is doing, hyped as I am. Some people saying it's a Netflix dump like Re:Life was.
---

I wasn't gonna vote in the poll at all, but then noticed Reg was being spiteful about LB so I did it anyway. The minigame in the VN was fun.

And I never watched a baseball anime.
---

https://myanimelist.net/anime/season/2018/winter

Here's mine

Violet Evergarden
Fate/Extra Last Encore
Citrus
Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku
Darling in the FranXX
Koi wa Ameagari no You ni
Nanatsu no Bitoku
Toji no Miko
Uchuu yori mo Tooi Basho
Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san

That's ten. Most likely at least 3 will be culled.
---

Baby Steps
---

Violet Evergarden
Fate
Overlord 2
Citrus

to start. haven't really looked at the list too closely, those are just the no-brainer choices for me
---

This season looks bad. New stuff I'm interested in:

Violet Evergarden*
citrus
Koi wa Ameagari no You ni
Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens**

*Don't think I'll be able to watch this unfortunately. Wasn't the official release like delayed or something?
**This one's a big maybe. On the one hand in reminds me of Durarara, but on the other hand that probably means it's a shitty Durarara.
---

Votes One Outs
---

things I will watch:

Hakyuu Houshin Engi
nope nothing else to see here
---

Calling shows before they air has proved worthless, but shows I will be giving a shot, with the bolded shows being what I high hopes for at this point. Obviously if there's good word on other shows I'll check them out.

Beatless
Citrus
Darling in the Franxx
Fate/EXTRA
Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens
Kokkoku
Mrchen Mdchen
Uchuu yori mo Tooi Basho
Violet Evergarden

Very surprised nobody is planning to check out Kokkoku, the trailer looks damn cool.

I still have it in my top 10 all time

Utterly fantastic series.

If you want to finish before this topic ends, make it One Outs. Which is the second best in the poll IMO.

Give Ace a shot at some point if you actually like the sport, though. And can put up with how long it is.

also I have no idea what is/isn't airing in winter

I'm just looking forward to Spring Training and getting to see what the Japanese Babe Ruth can do vs real competition
---

Got through the top 10 again, surprisingly hard to make some calls. Ended up only making two cuts, Titan to add in Re:Zero being the first. After that, super difficult to decide between cutting F/Z or Blast of Tempest in order to add in Kara no Kyoukai officially. Have to rewatch From the New World again to decide if I wanna cut Blast of Tempest for it, the third arc and especially the 2nd and 3rd to last episodes might still hold it back. Konosuba is also a threat to it, or even Kill la Kill if I add both in there.

10. Blast of Tempest
9. Kill La Kill
8. Mushishi
7. Bakemonogatari
6. Re:Zero
5. Baccano!
4. Puella Magi Madoka Magica
3. Eureka Seven
2. Kara no Kyoukai
1. Steins;Gate
---

ayyy half of our lists overlap (Monogatari, Baccano, Madoka, KnK, S;G)

that's pretty good

(Also I lied, Ace is top five on my list)
---

death note baby

Oh true... Angels play in AZ too... I may try to go to a few games. Although it's in Tempe which is pretty far, I'll try.
---

You could go see my Rangers in Surprise if that's any closer

I know nothing about smaller towns in AZ though so it might not be
---

1. Gundam Unicorn
2. Anohana
3. Gundam 00
4. Macross: Do you remember love?
5. Code Geass
6. Konosuba
7. Koe no Katachi
8. Oreimo
9. Eureka Seven
10. K-on

Jojo season one could replace K-on. I gotta rewatch that sometime.

It is closer, but if I'm heading up that way I'm more likely to head to Peoria, I'm a Mariners fan after all.

I tried ace of diamond but I wasn't feeling it after a little bit.

Does it get as awesome as haikyuu?
---

I was born in Tacoma, Washington... I've always been a Seattle fan. It's not like we're gonna do anything anyway though.
---

It has its moments for sure, but it has literally 3x as many episodes so it's not the distilled hype all the way through that Haikyuu is, especially S3
---

I'm not a huge fan of either, but Haikyuu's definitely the better series.
---

THE LIST so far (I've ran this through a randomizer so it's not just posting order from earlier)

Swordz
Lens
PJ
LTM
Koala
Pyre
Voltch
Mac
BK

saving the list before it gets purged
---

1. Baccano!
2. Hunter x Hunter
3. Penguindrum
4. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable
5. Welcome to the NHK!
6. One Punch Man
7. School Rumble
8. Parasyte
9. The World God Only Knows
10. Attack on Titan

Probably
---

I appreciate these top tens, for the record. I'll save them and watch what I can from them.

They also show me that I have a long way to go, though. So far I've seen exactly one anime from any of them (two if you count the Steins;Gate VN)
---

You should absolutely watch the Steins;Gate show even if you've read the VN, especially since the adpatation for 0 is out in less than 4 months.
---

Eh. Not too much reason to watch the anime if you've seen the VN, though it's still pretty great. Just if you feel like it. Wonder how the SG0 anime would compare to the VN.
---

I actually played 0, so this will be the first time I've ever watched an adaptation of a VN after playing it.
---

I think SG is the only adaptation I watched after the original that I liked close to the same amount.
---

I'll watch the SG anime someday, but I only just went through the VN in May so now feels a little soon. I am curious about some sequel move they made for the anime, though.

I think I'm also going to favor VNs over anime adaptations, wherever reasonable, so I probably won't watch SG0 for awhile since I'm hoping to get the VN on sale someday.
---

Mac Arrowny posted...

Fate Stay UBW (TV) anime is pretty close to the VN for me.
---

My top ten is probably this:

1. Toradora!
2. From the New World
3. Madoka Magica
4. Steins;Gate
5. Clannad
6. My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU
7. FLCL
8. A Silent Voice
9. Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
10. Mawaru Penguindrum

HM's to Guilty Crown (yes, really), Monogatari, and FMA:Brotherhood
---

I watched Guilty Crown's first couple of episodes because the concept was cool.

Then the ending of episode 2 happened and yeah....just another one of those, huh?
---

I still don't really have a top 10 right now.

Guess you can look at my MaL for a top 5 or something.
