Man, Dragon Ball has the best fillers. Last episode was so much fun with the baseball game and Yamcha. Next episode looks nice with an old character(not really) coming back....

Wait, Erased has a Christmas episode?

It shows what they call a "Christmas tree", but it's not Christmas, is it?

I mostly have mine figured out. The only wild card is Jojo...depending on how the last two eps go. Stardust Crusaders shot up to my AOTY 2015 after the DIO fight...so there's definitely a chance the same will happen again.

Regarding this week's question...Gintama's Christmas arcs/episodes are hilarious, but the Christmas arc in Toradora was the most memorable to me. Particularly when Taiga realized her feelings. This song killed me.

Edit: NO VERSY IS GONE NOOOOOOOOOO

Gonna be really tough. I have two 10s but I don't want to give them AOTY. There was so much other fun stuff.

Probably gonna do a top 20 and hope all of the great animes this year fit in there.

Also my thoughts this week:

3-Gatsu no Lion: This anime isn't quite a drama, is a bit heavy for a Slice of Life...but still strikes a nice balance between the two. I can understand if it's not for everyone, but something about this show just stays with me. I find myself either with eyes glued to the screen, or a huge grin spread from ear to ear while watching. This and Jojo are the only shows this season I find myself daydreaming about after watching.

I'm glad Rei essentially picked the 3rd option in regards to his match with the old man. Also that Kyouko hasn't left the story yet. I like her very a lot.  

Jojo: YES YES YES

That was a great move on Hayato's part...and a bit lucky. After Kira seemed blessed by fate last week, it was nice to finally see things go against him. Dora.

Meanwhile...Jotaro remains oblivious to what's going on. I'd be more annoyed...if this didn't happen like half a dozen times in Stardust Crusaders. It's obviously a plot device to limit the number of people involved...but oh well. I've liked manga/anime with much more contrived story elements before.  

NO NO NO NO

Gosh...I'm worried about Okuyasu. I'll still be optimistic, since he's one of my favorites...but heroes always die in Jojo. Avdol's death makes me worry that it'll be anticlimatic...and Kakyoin's death makes me worry that close friends aren't safe. Figure something out Josuke!!    

Bungo: Cash Money

The Guild boss is that one Bravely Default class I never use.

This episode felt more focused again...which is good. I forgot why the Guild leader is looking for a book...I think it's related to Odasaku though. We'll see if it is addressed again. Curious if next episode will be all over the place...seems like this happens every other week.  

Hibike: Yay

Glasses is back.

The scene with the sisters was nice...Mamiko's story is easy to empathize with.  

Keijo: I was bored, so I got caught up on this already. I'm pleasantly surprised by the last episode, even if it was obvious that the good guys would have to lose somehow. Otherwise there's no reason for a 3rd fight. Oh well. Good job massage girl with your butt portal thing.   

At this point, nothing is going to top Jojo for me this season, it has been amazing episode after amazing episode for the last what? 3 months and a half? (not counting the 2 previous seasons of amazing episodes)

Well Izetta may have a chance (only because last episode was the gayest thing ever) and Flip Flappers (for being gay af every week).

Just found out the movie theater I usually go to will be playing One Piece film gold on January 10th at 7:30PM. I am so going to that and hopefully they play Your Name when that starts to get a wider release.
