Predictions for the inevitable ‘best anime of the 00’s’

Toradora vs Minami-ke

Neither of these are going to win but it's the best header image I could find

Are you ready for the inevitable? The newest and largest pub argument amongst anime fans for the next year or so is on it’s way. While others can argue how anime has changed over the decade, most notably in the internet explosion, the average folk will slam their glass on the table and proclaim that ‘Code Geass will be forgotten in a few years’ or that ‘Monster is the most under-rated anime of them all’. So I’m going to try to shed some light upon this topic. Now I won’t be saying what my picks are, oh no. I’m going to be acting like a bookie, weighing up the odds for what will be voted top of the charts. For this I’m going to assume that the winners will be decided by a poll, much like the Animesource polls, where each voter gets 5 votes. Place your bets folks. What was the best anime of the 00’s?

Anime 2008: A year in review

How the hell am I supposed to open this post? I’m talking about every single anime in 2008, the best and the worst in every category. I haven’t seen everything this year obviously, such as Aria, ef, Shigofumi and DMC, but I’ve had a chance to check out pretty much everything else. Anyway, here we go :D

Since I'm limiting this to only anime which began airing in 2008, there will be no Gintama. But it deserves a mention anyway for being so consistently funny

Apparantly Code Geass has ‘mixed reviews’

Code Geass, and Code Geass R2, have mixed reviews. Some people love it, some people hate it. That’s been established by bloggers, forums and pretty much the entire anime fandom. I kinda took that for granted. Then I saw this

Mixed Reviews, and yet R2 is classified, after 1554 votes, to be the second greatest anime of all time according to Anime News Network. Something is quite wrong here…

Code Geass OST 1+2 and Macross Frontier OST: Nyan Tora (better late than never)

This post comes in kinda late, don’t you think? We’re all done with Code Geass and Macross Frontier. Leaving them behind, we get to embrace all the great shows this season has to offer. I must say, Fall 2008 anime season is the best yet – favourites being Gundam 00, Nodame Cantabile, Kuroshitsuji, and newly arrived Michiko to Hatchin. Forget that, now to the OSTs.

Code Geass R2 OSTs are definitely a leap of breakthrough compared to the OSTs from the first season. I can say, Nakagawa Koutarou has improved or rather matured in terms of his music development. However the tracks that would likely hit you the most (or at least to myself) are Madder Sky and Continued Story – both of which were used for the final episode (when Lelouch allegedly died). Had been playing Madder Sky on repeat like a mad man after watching that fateful episode. Overall, it’s a pleasant OST to listen though Hitomi had better songs in the previous OSTs. To download click the followings: Code Geass R2 OST 1 and Code Geass R2 OST 2.

Also included is the new OST for Macross Frontier, Nyan Tora. Just when you think Kanno Yoko did her best in Nyan Furo (the first OST for Macross Frontier), she did it again and probably better with Nyan Tora. And please tell me that you guys like Anata no Oto. That song is, by far, the best track for the Macross Frontier series. So, to download, click here. From here, I can truly see Nakajima Megumi’s true potential in seiyuu business and I have good hopes for her bright future ahead =)

Mythbusting: Is Lelouch really dead?

This has been the biggest question left by the director and writer of Code Geass, Taniguchi Goro and Okouchi Ichiro. As a matter of fact, this is not petty question at all. Should Lelouch proven to be alive, that opens up a new possibility of a sequel to Code Geass – let it be an OVA, or a movie, or another season altogether. If you ask me, I’d opt for a remake for Code Geass R2. The plot was so much “crappier” than season 1. Putting that aside, I’ll put this myth to the test, all in Mythbuster fashion: is Lelouch dead or alive?
