| So just a heads up, what do you think is the best anime for the season? This? Or something else. |
 |
| Not just this season, best anime this year so far. |

| Seems like one of the best so far but we'll have to see. Hopefully it doesn't become a trainwreck by the end =/ |
     |
| This is easily best of this year so far. I have K-On and FMA on my HD still haven't watched them.. Higashi no Eden is the only one I watch after download atm |

| It's definitely my favorite. From the first ep onward, this anime has really grabbed my attention. |
 |
| Judging so far it seem to be the best, though I haven't seen the new FMA due to not having finished the old one. At least it's way better than the hyped K-ON (which I more or less like nevertheless). |

| I really like the new FMA, I really do. But this anime is so intense :D |
| And it keeps you on the edge of your seat, guessing. |
| |
| My fave for this season. |
I'd like tossing your salad.-"Yuru"/MMMKD DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM MOTHERFUCKER?-SophieWophie<3 |
| No, K-On is the best anime this season, retards agreed, don't bother them about it. |

Hope plot can compensate for it. Well, you can always argue about chara design. That's always a matter of personal taste. Personally I like it, because it's not your everyday generic stuff. Backgrounds, animation and details are amazing and the CG is subtle. Seriously, if you think this is "pretty bad" then you really have no idea. |
|
| Yes. Best of the season. Though I haven't seen much. Cross Game is a close second, based on the first two episodes (entertainment wise, that is). Higepiyo is also up there. |
| this is awesome but i like more fullmetal alchemist! <3 |
EX-01 said: Not just this season, best anime this year so far. All that needs to be said. ^^ The art IS awesome. I especially like the OP and the ED! Too bad it's only 11 episodes though. |
| Well, we'll just have to wait and see, plotwise at least. But it's interesting to see different people's opinions on why this anime was great, with good reasoning behind it. I personally thought the animation was rather good, things were well drawn. Graphically, this anime is quite a spectacle. Yeah, I liked Cross Game too, and the new FMA I suppose does deserve its popularity, although the whole FMA franchise was one large disappointment for me. K-ON's good as well but that's just my brainless side talking. |
| |
| so far....easily but I haven't followed Phantom Requiem as closely as I had planned too so unless that bests it, my vote goes to Higashi no Eden |
| ~May you continue being the Messiah.... |
| I know a couple of people who seem to think Phantom was an even better anime than this, but I haven't really checked it out either, though the criminal underworld has always been a big theme for me. |
| |
| If you asked me two episodes into the season, I'd say yes, but after Pandora Heart's amazing comeback, I'm not for sure anymore. We'll see. I'm rooting for both. :) |

| Hmm sounds like I should check this out. |
| |
| eden pwnes k-on... the best of the season. period |
| GREAT series! Best of the year, no competion! And also probably one of the most unique anime I've seen, along with Ergo Proxy. Awesomeness incarnated. I'm a big, big fan of this show! :) |
 |
EX-01 said: Not just this season, best anime this year so far. I totally agree! I can barely wait for the next episode =D |
 |
| Started out as the best this season for me, but lost most of its appeal after 3 or so eps. Still in my top 5 this season though, and still way better then FMA2 and K-On, which don't even make my top 15 this season, out of the 20 I watch... |
| Phantom~Requiem for the Phantom has been very good to me, but im draw into this one as well. Can't really say which i think is better right now because im not actually caught up on this yet... |
Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the General Forum Guidelines! |
| Hmmm just have to wait and see how it all ends I suppose. I do hope it doesn't become a major disaster at the end of the series, but so far I enjoy this series. The new FMA isn't really my thing, I think its a bit too repetitive. |
| |
| Im withholding final judgment until I see the last episode. I will say though that it certainly looks that way so far. |
  |
| Wow... marathoned from start to caught-up today. If this is the best of the year, 2009's a shitty year. Don't get me wrong. The premise is fantastic and the art's gorgeous... but the execution is complete and utter shit. This is one indulgant mindfuck that will most likely have no resolution, especially considering how the series loves to rush important plot points while dragging out menial ones. Right now, it's an 8 at best from me. If it ends like I think it will, it will get a 7. WTF is going on with anime these days >< |
| My first novel, Kardia has been published! Click here to read! |
| I actually hope this anime isn't the best of the season, because while it is good, I'd be quite dubious as to the quality of anime this year if this anime is one of the best, |
| Fear the finger of death |
| Yep, I think so too. This is the best anime not only for the season, but and for the year. The story is interesting /it somehow resembles me of Death Note, maybe cuz of the "fatal game" element/, the op and the music too and the animation and the characters are unique!!! 10/10 |
     |
| I would say that i like both k-on and higashi =P |
 |
| You know, while I found myself enjoying Higashi no Eden enough to marathon it all in one shot last night, by the time it was over I wasn't too sure of what I had just watched. As ambitious a tale it seemed to be, there were far too many plotholes and heavily relied upon yet weak plot devices for such a worldly thriller. From beginning to end, there are big gaping questions with no answers. For example, if Selecao is a group of selected individuals whose purpose is to save Japan, what reason did Akira have to find himself naked and waving a gun in front of the White House? How did that have anything to do with him wiping his memory, or the events that lead him to that conclusion? This isn't even addressed through the course of the show, and its only purpose seemed to be to both introduce him to Saki and set the Bourne Identity-esque tone. Thinking on it more, there were constantly ridiculous things happening just in that first episode: English-speaking Americans somehow understanding things spoken in Japanese, a man on the street giving Akira his pants (and Akira had not yet figured out how to make requests with his phone), and a large black woman blushing at the size of a slender Japanese boy's penis. Okay, sort of joking about that last one. But everything else...! Then of course there are the godlike powers of the phones and Juiz, and such a lack of clarity about the nature of such a powerful device and how such extraordinary and clandestine things are made to happen is pushed so far by the end of the show that I can't help but be reminded of Elfen Lied, where all these big ideas suddenly felt completely hollow. Still, there were interesting things about it, most importantly in what it had to say about society, both post-WW2 and post-9/11, not to mention this whole 'NEET' thing. And, of course, being riddled with references to films like Dawn of the Dead was quite endearing to me... but ultimately I find myself left with a feeling that certain significant aspects of this show were barely thought out. In any case, I will be watching the upcoming movies. More than anything, I'd like to see more of our Ms. Johnny Hunter. But really...? If this is the best that anime has to offer in 2009, I will be spending a lot of time catching up on older shows. |
| Love this one~♥ It's the I have seen so far for the season |
  |
| i really enjoyed this anime, cant wait for the english subbed movie. also the most used word in this anime had to be "johnny." |
