Best Fight - Gosh, All for one vs All Might was incredible and really significant. Goku vs Jiren was your typical DB "I am gunna level up and break past my limits because #Saiyan" fight but Ultra Instinct was really cool. I'd choose All for one vs All Might.

Nice picks, I think the All fight was one of the series' best moments, but I wish All for One got more creative with the quirks at this disposal rather than just turning his arm huge. But the narrative weight is what really matters and

Gigguk made a cool video talking about that fight and other ones in MHA. And it doesn't shit all over the series despite how the title looks.

I'm consistently only familiar with 1 of the nominees on most of these categories. It's Bloom Into You for animation, but with what little I've seen of Violet Evergreen and what I know of the studio, I'm going with that. Tweets.

The only thing I had more to work with were character related, but I'm sorry, I can't vote Mai over other Bunny Girl characters, even if she is THE bunny girl.

Wanted to watch Gridman without being spoiled (but anyone who looks at these could be spoiled), but after the fanart and real swimsuit scene I saw, I didn't think that character was an antagonist.

Bunny Girl Senpai did have a lot of great characters and contenders for Best Girl. That may have been my sleeper hit of the season because I expected more generic crap from the title and summary until people got excited over it. Goes to show you can't always judge a book by its cover.

Good point, I'll add a spoiler disclaimer to the OP. I've seen a couple other people get spoiled about that show and character too, which is a shame. I got spoiled similarly a few years back when Madoka Magica's antagonist won the award on a different forum.

These are my votes. I feel like I was too quick to vote on some of them and would change them if possible, but whatever.

I'm hesitant about the game just because the last Jump game sucked and I paid full-price for it when I later found it in a bargain bin for like $5. I'm hoping it's good and much better than that last one.

I've got a large wishlist which I'm not sure how realistic it is because the game seems to be up to 33 characters already, pretty sizable roster. I suppose there's always DLC though.
 

Ayy, hope you've been doing well! Curious what you think of the song here, it's been my top jam the past week.

I still haven't gotten too far through World of Light, so curious if I see any here that I haven't found yet.

Crunchyroll has released their list of nominees for their 3rd Anime Awards this year and you can cast your votes here. They also have the nominees listed out here.

Do you guys have any favorites to win or stuff you wish was on there? I didn't realize until recently just how many great shows came out this year, so I won't be begrudging too many picks if my votes lost. I think I mainly just want to see Devilman Crybaby, Violet Evergarden, Megalobox, and A place further than the universe snag some wins.

Potential spoilers ahead for 2018 anime

EDIT: Interesting, some of the logo blends perfectly into the forum background depending on the skin you're using. In case the logo's looking weird to you.

Which ones, exactly? I'll post them if you want.

I mean yeah, that'd be cool! I just went digging for the thread but I had trouble finding it, not sure if you did something with it. Or maybe I'm just a bad finder, I generally am. 

I think it was the last 3 or so that I meant to get around to and never did. The last one I remember was Night and Yin(?) in the office but there may have been other stuff after that I did read too.

I'd highly recommend:

• Daily Lives of High School Boys
• Barakamon
• Servant x Service
• Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun
• Nichijou (I see it listed as SoL, but considering the fact that it's NIchijou, despite the name, I don't know it I can call it that)
• Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid/Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon

I'll second these, since these are ones from that list I've seen. These shows in particular have some great comedy, so you're in for a bunch of laughs here.

You've got a full list already, but I figured I'd just put A place further than the Universe and Hinamatsuri on your radar too if you haven't seen those. Universe is really inspiring and while it has some heavy moments, it's an endearing friendship story with plenty of lightheartedness too. And Hinamatsuri's just hysterical and weird, it's great.

Dororo - Apparently this is a Tezuka work and the first episode hooked me, so very interested to see how this turns out.

Kakegurui 2 - I wasn't too big on the first episode here and picked it up mainly because I watched the 1st season. May drop this one if it's not doing enough for me.

Mob Psycho II - So happy this is back and judging from the first episode, we're in for more of a good time and some sweet sakuga.

The Promised Neverland - The manga's great and the anime impressed with the first episode, I'd highly recommend watching this one. It's one of the fresh Shonen Jump titles that's helping to revitalize the magazine.

And I think that's it for me this season. I don't think Shield Hero's for me, but I may change my mind if discourse around it becomes more positive.

My friend told me I should just check out the manga since the anime's fine, but it's the superior iteration. Curious how people here feel between the two; I think this is one of the few high-profile anime from 2018 I hadn't checked out.

I can't believe I forgot about Lora, that's a blast from the past.

I always enjoyed these (the one about me was insane in the best ways), I'll have to reread them when I get a moment. I think I may have missed out on the last few.

Good to see you again, man! Hope to see you more active here.

Thanks, back at you! I'll try at least, looks like a good amount of people have jumped ship over here.
