We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg

Hmm yea I got times wrong between the two. Still at least should mention it to Aoi surely since the two were close and she is her mother. I guess he's delusional enough to think he can do it all on his own. Arg maybe it's just too tragic for me. Child abuse just hits me hard and knowing a character was in the position to change that but instead didn't is just sad.

Here's the list. You guys have two hours to give any last minute input before I ask someone to put it in the mod note.

Also, is there a way for me to upload a PNG without it being converted to JPG? imgur really drops the quality of the pic.

Is there a reason you deleted the other informational links except for those 3 in the bottom?

Wouldn't be bad to add stuff like BakaBT and nyaa.se down there unless TL doesn't want that kind of stuff in there anymore.
We sometimes (okay, rarely) do have new people who only watch on streaming sites and don't know where to look for stuff.

Obviously theoretically speaking if there's such a thing as a TL rule against that kind of stuff and I obviously aquire all my anime via legal methods.

Most of the other links didn't work anymore, and I didn't want to add torrent links to the chart because TL usually frowns on that kinda stuff.

I was thinking about polling Lovely Complex and Itazura na Kiss but I forgot. I could always slap them in since the romance section has open slots but I'll have to think about it.

Well, we had them in the old one but yeah if you don't want to that's fine. You could add #tladt and some information like the fact that it's on Rizon and not quakenet if you want to.

I wouldn't mind having some more new people in there from time to time.

Looks pretty good. The unevenness is a bit of a shame, but can't be helped.

I think I'd move Ippo to sports.

Some random suggestions: GITS movie, Sora no Woto, Anohana (maybe to mainstream), Yuru Yuri, Hyouka, Kuroko no Basket (maybe to mainstream), Thermae Romae (shorts)

Also Aoi Bungaku is missing unless I'm blind.

siiigh I guess I can do some last minute polling. Polls will close in ~10 hours. I won't be polling GITS movie though since GITS is already under sci-fi and if they're interested in GITS they can look up the movies themselves.

Fairy Tail should probably be added under the Mainstream.

Other than that, I spot Space Bros, Chihayafuru, and Nichibros in the list. All is good.

Is the Fairy Tail anime even that popular? I haven't really followed its reception but personally speaking it was pretty mediocre - sometimes interesting.

Aoi Bungaku didn't make the cut in the polls, most likely because No Longer Human is disproportionately better than all of the other stories, which ranged anywhere between decent to really mediocre.

mc is annoying and the several episodes in the middle (like 10 of them) were clusterfucks of boredom
I really liked the concept and female protag though.

idk I think it's worth a watch but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, if that makes any sense.

pls

The middle episodes were the best episodes in Ergo Proxy. The ones focused on the plot were pretty meh compared to the middle episodes. There's a lot of interesting concepts and ideas that the show explores in the middle if you pay attention and a lot of times they get really experimental too (i.e. random Disney parody wtf lomo) with their animation.
