「今年の1年はウケるな」 (Kotoshi no Ichinen wa Ukeru na)

That was the sports anime standard, for better or worse.

「テレビ朝日」 (Terebiasahi)
“Easy as Pirozhki!! The Grand Prix Final of Tears”
Without sounding too extreme, this was one of the best anime episodes of 2016.

「ピュアインプット」 (Pyuainputto)

「私、神懸かってます」 (Watashi, Kami Kakattemasu)

「ナンバーのついたバカたち!」 (Nanbaa no Tsuita Bakatachi)
“Idiots With Numbers!”
I’m not sure how i feel about Nanbaka. It’s great when it isn’t taking itself too seriously, but I’m not sure how well it does when it starts to dive back into the real world. Luckily, it only happened for the last few minutes of the show and everything before that was just pure mindless fun.
