Koyomimonogatari should be added to the poll. Not that I think a lot of people other than me are going to vote for it, though.

Shorts really are great, I'm glad that recently there's been a number of great shorts getting attention, because they really do allow for some great series that otherwise wouldn't work. Sekko Boys was so good, since it allowed a (mostly) one-note joke to work without getting too stale. The current Space Patrol Luluco and Trigger's previous Inferno Cop allows for some great short surrealist comedy (Inferno Cop 2 needs to hurry up). My Neighbour Seki allowed for an episodic but consistently funny short that's still among my favorites. Makura no Danshi gave a dose of wtf potent enough to cause discomfort without actually causing mental injury. Pupa, er, actually no nevermind forget that one.
Special mention to Bikini Warriors too, which despite the name did actually have some solid RPG parody in there. I mean sure, the boob show to parody ratio was about 60% to 40% (Maybe even 70% to 30%?), but I still had a soft spot regardless. |

Maybe it was supposed to only be recent shows, but there are WAY weirder short anime series. Popee the Performer comes to mind.

Good to see that Sekkō Boys is on the List, although I wouldn't mind to see Mahō Shōjo Nante Mō ī Desu Kara. there, too.

True. It wasn't a great show, but it did have its moments - my favorite being the third episode where they're ransacking the entire village for money and items and all of the residents blithely ignore it...until one of them steals the little kid's piggy bank too. |

Now I know where the Space Patrol Commander comes from in "Luluco". Hurray for Sekko Boys and I would have counted Tabi Machi Late Show as one of the most satisfying last season if it had been listed...

The Eternal Family was pretty weird as well.

As far as weird shorts go, consider "Oruchuban Ebichu" by Gainax. Ebichu is a talking hamster who cleans up after her owner, a 25-year-old working girl with a loser boyfriend. They have lots of sex. The whole thing is hilarious, more or less X-rated but very crudely animated.

I feel like Ninja Slayer should be added on the list, even though the show is 15 minutes per episode that's longer than usual; seeing the explosion used in each episode makes me think that it was directed by a Japanese Michael Bay. This season Patrol something is also weird as heck.
My votes for Showa, Konosuba and GATE 2, though I also enjoyed Grimgar, HaruChika, Schwarzesmarken and last episodes of God Eater |

I really like the new poll. I voted for ERASED, Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash and my candidate for anime of the year in Shōwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjū.
I found it quite satisfying and enjoyable too. |

Slightly disappointed that Strange+ isn't on here...that sure was a weird one (in a good way).

I wonder if She and Her Cat running in March makes it closer to a spring title? No idea why the other two would have been skipped. Emerje |
