qb top 2019 anime list

this year what I took notice of the most were uncompromisingly ambitious series that care very little for the opinions of haters. I couldn’t come up with an order for them, so pick your own on your scorecards at home.  - qb

Hulaing Babies

Five minute anime about a Hula club that nobody watched except me, blurry kaleidoscopic fountain of pastels and homestarrunner-esque morphing at bizarre angles and judiciously excessive mouth flapping, outrageously blunt visual metaphors for emotions and a finale where everyone floats into the sky with no logical justification needed or wanted. 

I learned absolutely nothing about hula or okinawa or dancing but I loved every second.

GRANBELM (while it was airing) 

Ultimately forgettable, but a fun cross-genre experiment that was very enjoyable to unpack week by week, takes a blender to normally very structured genres for better and worse. It’s obviously obsessed with both mecha and magical girl and sincerely rams the gundam and the madoka tropes together until it appears they are kissing and one of the arms has flown off. In retrospect, it was completely impossible to predict because it seemed to rewrite its lore every week and may have been making it up as it went along. I had a completely different idea of where the show was going nearly every week, so that was pretty exciting for me. I still can’t believe that the main character was actually a magical girl tulpa who had an arc where she dealt with the existential problem of not being real. All of these questionable ingredients were surprisingly hella fun to watch while GRANBELM was airing, and reacting to this bizarre roller coaster week by week through all its twists and turns was probably my favorite discrete experience this year, even though the show itself probably doesn’t hold up. But that’s okay too, it’s alright to forget things sometimes.

I just wish I could remember the name of this girl with the pink hair and the dumb face from all my screenshots? I could have sworn she was important.

KoP:SSS / Pri⭐Chan S2 

Pretty rhythm has had a really excellent year and its dumb to lump these together but I’ll do it anyway. You can’t stop me from putting this on here

Pretty Rhythm had an amazing year with the first English license in its history, Pri⭐Chan threw off the yoke of the last season’s tendency to play it safe and got immediately weird as balls. Nijinosaki Daia is a brilliant character and is essentially Jem but good. 

The franchise has always blatantly reused remixed components like plot themes, entire characters, and full cg sequences, and Pri⭐Chan has lightest version of this, by simply copy and pasting characters from other series and having them exist with a barely different last name and an identical design and voice actress. 

However, King of Prism: Shiny Seven Stars is the ultimate, nauseatingly over the top version, imagining a disembodied council of identifiable veteran voice actors that control the idols, and by extension the pretty rhythm universe, inadvisably connecting every franchise (and some shows that aren’t even in the franchise) in a veritable corkboard of meta-cosmic nonsense that made even dedicated fans throw up their hands and go along for the ride.

Fruits Basket (2019)

The Fruits Basket 2019 reboot was a solid and consistent fixture of my year, as a diehard fan of the manga it’s simultaneously the uncompromised vision of the author and the transformative modern take I didn't know I wanted. I don’t have a lot else to say about it, Fruits Basket is one of the best shoujo ever written if not the best one, and this is a best case scenario for an adaptation. Highly recommend watching this if you’re an old fan since middle school or even if you’ve never seen it before. Second season comes out at some point in 2020. https://vanilla-blessing.tumblr.com/post/184168814234/why-you-should-check-out-that-fruits-basket-reboot

Kemurikusa

 lol they called an anime smokeleaf 

In the wake of Kemono Friends 2 being a shallow cash grab from a company that decided slaughtering their golden goose and burning the corpse was a good idea, Kemurikusa is that goose rising from the ashes like the powerful phoenix to create another awkward but weirdly competent CG anime that’s oddly endearing despite resembling nothing else in the current anime industry. It writes a lot of lore checks in the first 10 episodes and actually nails the ending without overexplaining or getting lost in the weeds of its sometimes convoluted lore.

Honorable mention to: Kappa

This was a great year for cryptids, especially Kappa, between Cure Cryptid-hunter hikaru hoshina repping all UMA’s, Kappard reclaiming his less handsome brother Pissard’s naming scheme and becoming the fan favorite bad guy of Star Twinkle Precure, and Everything in Sarazanmai, 2019 was the year that brought Kappa back, unless you would argue that they never left. It’s hard to tell with yokai. Also Mob Psycho 100 s2 was the most technically impressive anime i’ve ever seen in my life but I felt it was more important to honor this caboose.

- qb ask me anything about UMA

CAN NOTE

SHE’S HOLDING A NOTEBOOK AND IT’S CALLED “CAN NOTE”

I honestly can’t decide if this is heartwarming (because it means the notebook is cheering her on, telling her she can do whatever she puts her mind to) or funny (because that phrase in English is just nonsense, and because “_ note” on a notebook always makes me think of Death Note and/or the Kuromi Notes).

I love it, though.

some japanese people have pointed that the new Dia is not black but a ganguro reference? like one of the gyaru types?? idk… so that’s why she talks like that uh…. Did they choose ganguro ‘cause they were kinda rebel people? hmmm no idea :/

Blacktober 02: Relatable

I’ve had characters I’ve related to over the years, but I couldn’t come up with an idea other than Daia. That’s how good her development was, and that’s how good Prichan season 2 is. 8)

Kiratto Prichan 99

I just watched the raw episode. It was the final of the competition. I'm so glad the last 3 to perform were Anju, Mirai and Dia because they saved the best lives for last!

I actually expected Anju or Dia to win because their lives were so elegant and I loved watching them. But since this is Pretty Series, protagonists have the ability to win the big prize with their plot armor. So Mirai became the Diamond Idol.

She tried to use her wish with the everyone friends, everyone idols! mindset but Kuro Dia's heart chose that exact moment to be broken. She couldn't stand that Dia was finally being called with her name instead of Nijinosaki-san.

So yeah, next episode will focus on fixing Kuro Dia. Considering the next season is about virtual world, I'm guessing they will either seperate Dia into 2 (meaning Kuro Dia and normal Dia will exist as seperate beings) or purify her, which somehow results in the creation of virtual world. And once season 3 comes, she can form a trio unit with mascots.

Kiratto PriChan 54

So Dia-girl’s name is..... *drumroll please*

......Dia. 

Dia Nijinosaki.

But the girls call her “Nijinosaki” because she doesn’t like being called by her first name. 

But still, that’s not obvious or confusing at all. 

So now I really don’t know what to call her ahah. I’ll just go with the show and call her Nijinosaki when she’s in student form and Dia when she’s.... Dia (even though she’s technically always Dia). At the end of the episode they made it seem like pressing a diamond button on her home computer makes her broadcast as Dia, but she became Dia and gave Mirai Jewel Chance right after spending time with Miracle Kiratts at the studio. So I’m like.... did she run all the way home? But I guess she can probably also do it from her Jewel Pact too since, as we already know, Jewel Pacts can do ANYTHING. 

Seeing Rinka record with the Jewel Pact is hilariously terrible oh lord. But there is another toy coming out that’s more like a smartphone right? So recording with the Jewel Pact is just to bridge the gap I think? But I wish they could have just kept their PriChan Casts. But I guess that’s against the rule..... gotta promote the new toy.... 

I think I heard Maria call Emo’s hair bananas and now I can’t unsee.

But anyway, in the last episode Nijinosaki dropped her Jewel Pact. Mirai tries to return it from her only to have Nijinosaki run away from her but eventually she succeeds. In the first episode of season 2 I had assumed there was official Kirachu merch after seeing Kirachu on Nijinosaki’s bag and I made a comment about hoping Mirai gets royalties, but no actually, Nijinosaki’s Kirachu keychain is a unique thing she made on her own. Woah. 

So Nijinosaki helps Miracle Kiratts to do a craft making program, then Mirai performs and gets Jewel Chance. But they said she didn’t get her Jewel Rare? ?? ? I find it interesting that the coord starts off as white even in the anime. But we will probably only be seeing Mirai’s pink version? Unless the other characters are gonna get this same coord for Jewel Chance too until it eventually becomes Mirai’s after Jewel Audition? Is that it? 

Suzu does street PriChan OMG I LOVE HER 

She reminds me so much of Ito and now Taiga ahhhhh wow

I was hoping the next episode would be Suzu’s character episode but I guess not. I realize Suzu might not get her own episode for like another month because her coords won’t be on the arcade game until June. Hrrrm.......

I can’t decide if I want a Jewel Pact or not. I only want it because the wings opening when you put the Jewel in is so coooool haha. But I don’t care much about the arcade game coords. I can’t decide which color either. Maybe I’ll try and wait for the yellow Dia version ahah. (If they actually release it. They never released a Janice version of the Rosette Pact nor a Galala/Shuka version of the Jewel Mic, but they did release an Anju PriChan cast... *shrugs*)

dia nijinosaki

[prism-stone-planet]

I’m sad that il’ange didn’t come back and that they weren’t the moonlight princesses and also kinda feel bad for Oshama tricks not becoming them either but I’m happy Nijinosaki came back and became one of the moonlight princesses, she deserves it.

Kinda wish she and Dia got actual Illuminage coordes instead of recolours of the Diamond Coorde and that they got a new song instead of a remix of memories for the future

It’s nice that another Dia isn’t associated with like “evil” anymore since mini Dia turns into her to perform but hnn it’s so weird having a character with light skin turn into a character with dark skin, why did Prichan do that
