Sakugabowl is my favorite book of the year. Congratulations everyone!
(I will share my picks when I’m done reading in the next days LOL)
Amazing work this year everyone. I skipped some parts for some anime that I hadnt watched but that the first entries made them look so good that theyre already in my list to watch. Like apocalypse hotel, city, hikaru, ruri rocks. Im also interested in that amelie movie that I hadnt seen before but looks so amazing. Takopi was my most favorite of the year so Im happy that everyone had so much to say about it.

Nice picks as usual, good to see you back! Surprising design choice on the surface, but genuinely well-deserved. Yuka Shibata isn’t just an artist with an elegant style that is compatible with Jun Mayuzuki’s work, but also one who Feels Right to the viewer because she was already in charge of After the Rain’s anime adaptation. It’s fair to say that this wasn’t as well-realized as its predecessor, but on paper, I really like what she did and the choice to appoint her. And shout to to Kawamitsu too! Recently caught their work through various clips as well and they’ve… Read more »
The Kowloon cast always looked so beautiful with those designs and were rarely off-model. Admittedly not the most fluid animation but I think there’s value in the more elegant detailed root as well. And I wanted to spread the praise around rather than giving another award to Yaiba for it’s terrific designs.
A bit surprised no one mentioned the Yaiba OP considering how packed it is with Kanada energy and constant movement.
It blew my ‘colodrillo’ to see a reference to Francisco Ibáñez in here! 13, Rue del Percebe is so primordial in its simple but condensed way of showing a true sense of place and community, thanks to gags beautifully interconnected and flowing visually all on one page, that it certainly deserves such a shout-out in relation to CITY THE ANIMATION. There’s a mural of that very first strip in Madrid’s Carabanchel neighborhood, that I try to pass by whenever I can! And we certainly deserved more long-form, truly continuous adventure stories like El sulfato atómico, before Mr. Ibáñez settled on… Read more »
I knew you’d be here to appreciate the comparison to a certain Ibañez building! You raise an interesting point with Uoto’s adaptations too. You do have to wonder about what might have happened with a reversed order and less of an overlap. Hyakuemu’s success certainly sounds like a motivation to invest more heavily in Orb; not that money is a magical panacea, but they could have had access to that type of personnel you mention on the regular if it were a more substantial project. That said, I’m not confident that it’d have happened regardless, nor that Uoto works are… Read more »
