True, Glasslip underachieved, but I would not call it the worst anime because it had potential and did a few neat things with a couple of characters. And let's not forget the pretty visuals courtesy of P.A Works. By your harsh standards, the same label of worse anime can be applied to Terror in Resonance. For the new poll, I voted for Aldnoah.Zero, Dai-Shogun - Great Revolution, Dramatical Murder, Recently, My Sister is Unusual and Sailor Moon Crystal. |

I forget what the series is called, but this brief anime cameo of the Nostalgia Critic and Angry Video Game nerd is worth a mention.

Glasslip also had a cameo in it, fact fans. The two younger kids from Nagi no Asukara, Sayu and Miuna I think, were seen chasing around at some point. They didn't have the same voices, but they looked exactly the same. It did make me wonder if the series were connected, since places looked similar at times.

This feels to me like another "The List" column that starts with the shows, and then puts together the theme around them. That's OK, but once again what is omitted is the last step of adding shows that actually fit the theme better that the ones it was created to highlight.
I can understand how you could overlook a show such as Seitokai no Ichizon (Student Council's Discretion), because I don't think it's well known. The first two episodes alone reference or directly parody Dragonball, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Sentai shows, BL, Mortal Kombat, Fullmetal Alchemist, Resident Evil, Yu-Gi-Oh!, H-Games, Death Note, Thomas Edison, and even the novels the show is based on, and those are just the ones I caught. Gintama is the poster-child for this list. Just some of the shows parodied: Dragonball, Bleach, One Piece, Prince of Tennis, Lone Wolf and Cub, Ashita no Joe, Space Battleship Yamato, Eyeshield 21, Captain Harlock, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, and Heidi, Girl of the Alps. It even has actual cameos, unlike some of the shows that made the list. For example, Ryuk makes an appearance at the end of the Death Note parody episode, and the mangaka Hideaki Sorachi voices himself, albeit as a gorilla. Special Mention to Space Dandy. Nearly every episode was a parody, or perhaps more accurately an homage. High school musicals, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya's 'Endless Eight', Flowers for Algernon, Edwin A. Abbott's Flatland, Redline, 5 cm per Second, zombie films, Barbarella, that I remember. There was at least one cameo, Johnny Yong Bosch dubbing the character named for him. |

i'm surprised that neither of those two series got in the list cause of their references to other series. hell i am even more surprised that Genshiken , Haruhi and Kujibiki Unbalance arent in this list since. especially genshiken considering that the series have to make references to other series since it is a slice of life series of of otaku fans. |

I avoided most of the true dreck of the year, but out of the 38 shows that started in 2014 that I did watch, my bottom five were (in no particular order) Aldnoah.Zero, Black Bullet, Mahouka, Psycho-Pass 2, and Sailor Moon Crystal.

Log Horizon's first season had some delightful cameos by Hero, Maou and the Warrior, Leafa (albeit with different color palettes), and Man With A Mission, who do the OP song.

Worst series: Glasslip. I don't like PA Works in the first place but reading the synopsis I had hope that this would change my perception of them. Alas it was not to be. Other choices? I watched 3 episodes of Haikyu and was bored, but that was because I don't like sports in general ( but I wouldn't have minded if it was girls volleyball) so I didn't vote for it. Instead I voted for the shaft stuff. Its not their fault that Shinbo does what he does to them, but I didn't like em so their my choices either way.
Madhouse number 1 hell yeah! Though ufotable number 2? Seriously? I like Kyoani even though it gets a lot of hate but ufotable higher than IG? I'm guessing its cause of the Type Moon adaptations, but IG has a longer history and more impressive body of works. I'm not a fan of Bones but I can understand people liking them. I'm not surprised JC Staff is kind of low, although I like them more than choices 5-8 combined

I think Wooser no Sono Higurashi 2nd season should have been there. That season pretty much acted as a plug for other anime by having several anime characters appear on the show

Ah, that's an interesting interpretation, but I always go Theme then Shows and not the other way around. Choice limitations are always down to what I've seen followed by what I'm familiar with from writing for ANN if I haven't seen it in its entirety. I don't think it's a secret after two years of writing this column that one of my biggest viewing blind spots are any long-running (specifically Shueisha) shows. In particular, I haven't watched Gintama, Naruto, One Piece, or Bleach (past episode 40). These shows have a great quantity of fans, and I wouldn't want to "wing" it to include one, not really know what I'm talking about, and completely goof it up.

I think my favorite cameos were in the amusement park episode of Robot Carnival. A lot of Akira faces popping up.

While are on it, who the hell are the middle four girls? They should be chuugakusei.

Re: "these aren't cameos"... correct. But she expanded the definition to include "shout-outs" and such in the opening paragraph of the List. Re: cameos... DavidShallcross's mention of the Lucky Star girls in the karaoke box in Kannagi (apparently doing the ED to one of their episodes!) is still my favorite. |
