"6. Endless Eight repeated eight times, fans revolt"
You would have thought that'd be #8 ...
Is that a whacked out Coach Z from Homestar Runner?
maybe its the Thnikkaman! he's too fat and has that big smile u can barely see
"3. Evangelion gets yet another movie"
Is that really shocking? Gainax has been milking eva for a long time now and I wouldn't be surprised if there are 10 more retellings. =/
I don't know why people liked Bakemonogatari so much :)
I did because of Hanekawa-sama. Blame her fancy pantyshot in the first episode... :3
I are confused about what seen.
Now who would've figured at the the time that Studio Shaft's work Bakemonogatari would crush KyoAni's K-On?
Answer: Haruhitardom's endless eight.
Gonzo being put out of its misery is that big a shock? They were on the downward slide for years.
But the Bakemonogatari v K-ON! result was a nice surprise, a witty, dialogue heavy show winning over moe. I hope this starts a new trend.
No one should be shocked about Eva, that thing is a bigger money spinner than Haruhi. I suspect Anno could continue "re-imagining" Eva and people will still watch.
hehe
saw those art at some episode of nyan koi
#6: Well DUH! If it was shown nine times, would it be called the Endless "EIGHT"?!
Personally I think "Koreans Baw Over Hetalia" was one of the biggest news headlines and am surprised to not see it on the list. Think what you will about Hetalia, but how many other anime have had their TV run cancelled because Korea got butthurt?
Hm, it wasn't there because "baw" is not really an official word.
You're right, it's properly spelled with at least 5 w's.
1. Oh..
2. Can't disagree with that, Bakemonogatari is indeed too awesome.
3. Mmm.. kay.
4. *Shrugs*
5. Reverse Lucky Star
6. Yet they're still to stubborn to boycott it?
7. Now that reminds I haven't finished watching it yet..
8. ROFL & LOL~
9. Tsk.. No more Neko Musume and Zambia-chan :<
10. Oh shi~ I think she was on crack..
kobayashi has that same brain injury as that guy in saya no uta has. she sees everything as random combinations of flesh and blood.
kobayashi has that same brain injury that guy had in Saya no Uta. resulting in her seeing everything as random lumps of flesh and blood.
GeGeGe no Kitaro was ended to make room for Dragon Ball Kai. Suddenly canned!? How?
Hate to hear that, I actually prefer Kitaro over Dragon Ball Kai.
i think this needs a "guro" tag for that last part.
Kobayashi is just similar to her characters. She portrays true maniacs.
Though I can make what is going there...not really surprised with a few of those. I rather like summer wars, will watch again when I have a chance.
Mamoru Hosoda is a genius, the next Miyazaki indeed and the only anime director so far who can really explote the talent of Sadamoto as a chara designer.
M4moru H0soda is freaking genius.
He is the next Miyazak1 indeed, and the only director so far to really take advantage of the talent of Sadam0to.
Sorry for repeating the comment ^_^U plz delete.
Lol. Nice "art". I can't make out most of what is going on there...but I don't think i want to.
If you just squint, you can make out a huge orgy between Negi (the one with the N), all 31 of his students, and Clinton. And lots of blood.
If you just squint.
Oh, and did I mention dildos?
SHE IS TRULY A MASTER ARTIST...
Touché
Abstract is just a synonym for shitty when used to describe art. Just a really polite way of saying it.
"Ah, that piece is really... uh... abstract."
Abstract art perhaps?
Lots of dildos. say it.
i am very disturbed by the art. more than normal guro.
Dildos, dildos, dildos, dildos, dildos.
It looks like a guy eating Cock and Balls.
Looks like a guy eating a man, with them bawls sticking out lol.
Of 2009? Of all time! OF ALL TIME!!!
Another possible one to make the top 10 should have been Trigun the movie for 2010 announced. Shocking they are releasing it out of nowhere like that.
didnt shock too many people since not many still care about trigun
More shocking then Endless Eight being showed, is that people bought the DVDs.
Even more shocking is that they neglected to mention that on this list.
The media and studios are in cahoots, I tell ya.
eh her drawing of setsuna sakurazaki was better...
Where can I see the Setsuna one?
I bet it was photoshopped.
Heh. Kobayashi is classic. Especially in Nyan Koi.
Headlines are utmost true. I also love how Bakemonogatari beat K-on's sales.
2 shoulda been 1, 1 should been 3, and 6 should been 2
Kobayashi should draw art for all the shows she's a part of. I would love to see what she would draw for higurashi.
11. Bakemonogatari the best of the year
3. Evangelion gets yet another movie
Oh boy, what a "shocking surprise"....*eye rolls*
"Completely redone artwork for Evangelion, in full 2400p HoloDisk format, released in 2018! New added scenes and extended storyline!"
I'm sure they'll be just as surprised.
"Evangelion gets yet another movie"... in what way was this shocking?
Yeah, not only did the previous one end on a cliffhanger, it was announced there would be 4 movies. That's like being surpised Harry Potter 6 came out.
