I have no problem downgrading Erased to an 8 or even a 7 if the ending is as anticlimactic as it seems to be. At least with Noitamina animes you get some interesting story line and high quality to balance the pretentiousness.
But so far Erased has not enriched my anime life in the least.
Konosuba and Pandora have though and that's why they're probably end up being my top 2.
Rakugo will probably get away with an 8. It's a great anime and one of the very few mature ones without being pretentious about it. But it just dragged on too long.
With Mahou shoujo nante mou ii desu kara, Momokuri and Ojisan to Marshmallow we got 3 of the greatest comedy shorts of all time this season.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
