I've been watching BTOOOM! Seems alright. Wonder why there's only 12/13 episodes? *Flashbacks to Jabba The Hutt sexually assaulting Noel Vermillion* Ah. Maybe that scared some people off.

Well, the number of episodes is usually determined before the series hits the airwaves. I guess they were hoping for popularity and the chance at Season 2.
 
Post your Anime of the Year 2012, go!

Hyouka with Uchuu Kyoudai (Space Brothers) as the honorable mention. I prolly would've listed Fate Zero season 2, but I haven't watched it yet... waiting for the BDs to come out.

Also, watching the Madoka movies tonight, should be amazing.
 
Jojo or Psycho Pass most likely, though both will be only a little over half done by the year's end

for something that actually ran and finished this year I'd probably go with Papa Kiki

Fawk yeah Fate/Zero is really,really nice, one of my favorites. Also i would mention Another, guys that anime kept me hooked and intrigued to the end, with suspense and tension.I was counting the days just to watch the new episode....And finally SAO, the romance and storyline is just wonderful there and the idea of such virtual world...incredible.
 
I haven't seen enough from this year to give a real answer.

Another and Fate/Zero are amazing though. Also you can't got wrong with One Piece. It can be named anime of the decade and i wouldn't argue it.
 
I wouldn't feel right nominating an anime of the year without having seen some of the ones people are supporting like the new JoJo. That said I saw one randomly selected episode of space brothers and it looks pretty great. Could stand to see more. So anyhow, looks like a lot of good stuff came out this year and I didn't even catch half of it.
 
From what I've seen, I'd say that the three best anime of 2012 were Hyouka, Accel World, and Fate/Zero S2.

Hyouka was just a masterpiece of art and character development. Accel World was why I bothered with SAO, and gave me a villain I actually hated. Fate/Zero was just godly, but it needed the slow preamble that was S1 to make sense.
 
I thought Fate/Zero was okay to kill time but it was too saccharine for me. I nearly got diabetes. I'm enjoying Shakugan No Shana at the moment. I'm down to the final few episodes so it's make it or break it time. I hate how the final few episodes can so often ruin the entire series.

I've NEVER understood that right there.

A single episode, or even minute few can't ruin or change how good an ENTIRE series is. You judge the series as a whole, not based on what episode you just watched.
Same goes in reverse, a single good episode can't make a series. That would be stupid.

I totally agree with this. I saw a show a while back (God forgive me, I've been wracking my brain for the name) that enthralled me for 12 episodes and turned downright silly on its 13th episode, ruining the finale and making it impossible for me to recommend it in the future. It had no worthwhile payoff.

That doesn't exactly sound like total agreement. Then again I do think a few minutes in the wrong place can ruin an entire series. Though what was the show? Any hints you can remember?

This happened for me with Guilty Crown. I enjoyed it right up until the last 8 minutes or so, when the world's really being saved... then it f**ked up big.

A lot of people hate the show, but I would still recommend that you try it out for yourself.

I have to disagree. I've seen plenty of anime that build well, have good character development, and set a certain tone only to betray itself in the end. It's this lack of trueness to itself that taints the whole series in my opinion. Like, they wanted a certain ending despite how it actually fit into the series. Anyway, it's like having a delicious cake with fecal icing. Yes, the fecal icing ruins the whole cake. Sorry. A beautiful home you paint pepto-bismal pink, a hot chick with tweeker teeth rotting out of her head - seems to ruin it for me. Imagine a romantic moment shared with a beautiful girl, then she lets out a loud popper of a fart. Still turned on?

Yet none of your analogy's work for this, at all.

These single moments of the show took place at a different moment than the vast majority. Literally not changing how good what you previously watched was.

The icing is ALL OVER the cake, it's all in the same bite. That doesn't work.
The house and color are present at the same time.
The chick and her teeth are in your eyesockets at the same time.

This beautiful house wasn't as beautiful because the paint was always there. You can WISH the color was different and maybe it would fix that, but it didn't and it is as it is.
Yet It's as nice as it's collective whole.

Just as it is as a series. Your FINALE can suck, your "insert scene here" can suck. But it's rated via a collective. And if all episodes prior were good, than the end doesn't ruin the SERIES. Just the END. Vice-versa and etc....
 
Sengoku Basara both seasons are nice, action Anime.
.Hack\\Sing and .Hack\\G.U both have some existential crisis demeanor but really nice Animes
