No, it's pretty consistent. Also the animation and direction is like ten times better than either JoJo or AoT.

In terms of its production is is absolutely consistent.

I seem to recall quite a few people calling it boring for a decent chunk of the early parts of the series, possibly even the entire first half. I vaguely remember Jexhius and a few others putting it in their top 10, but around the low end due to the uneventful early episodes. The praise for the series seems to have increased exponentially since then, so maybe it was better in retrospect based on later developments?
I wouldn't know, I never watched it and don't really intend to.

SAY MY NAMEno room for breaking bad
The boring stuff doesn't have to do with the production values. Nobody was arguing about that.

I'm probably the only one, but I liked every single episode.
DOTA2 is AOTY.

I really do hate how elitist some of you guys get when it comes to Hyouka. People had issues with it and just discounting by saying they're wrong is somewhat obnoxious.
Top 5?
1. Wolf Children
2. Flowers of Evil
3. Yamato 2199
4. Eccentric Family
5. ???
Also:
Log Horizon 13
Man, Crusty is approaching Shiroe levels of magnificent bastardry. Fun times. Looks like we might get some mysteries of the world and overall plot moving forward now too.

Brofist!
I think it's because it's an argument that has happened here a billion times already.
For the some reason why no one ever brings up writing vs animation anymore.

Are will still doing a minimum show cutoff, like the Album OTY thread? I spent most of the first half of the year watching old shows. Ill have to see how many 2013 shows I actually watched.

It bugs me too. I found Hyouka to be an incredibly boring show. Well made but I thought it was extremely boring and thus I didn't enjoy it. I don't know why this bothers people.

When someone says something is "better" than something, I like to think that includes every part of a work and not just one. But hey, "better" means different things to different people, so I can't really argue there.
The post I originally quoted was about how consistent the quality of part 2 of JoJo was, a show that is most definitely not consistently well-animated.
Jokes on you, all AoT votes are being changed to Kill Me Baby OVA votes.
Watched the Gintama movie today. I miss this show. ;__;

It's all subjective anyway.

Reminds me some of the OT comments on Kubrick's 2001.

I'm just stating my opinion. You're free to state yours!

Yep!
I probably shouldn't even be having this conversation after chastising Hosanna for saying a show is better than something he didn't watch.
Well yeah. He at least watched a few episodes and is open to watching more. You're just going off half-remembered bits of conversation about something you're never going to see.
Mah man!
Well I think people tend to be a little elitist about their favorite things, although in my experience most people in animegaf are largely joking when they take that position.
There are ways of stating your opinion though that don't seem as objective or condescending though.
Saying "I disagree with those people" is vastly different in tone than saying they're wrong.

Well, specifically, assuming we all live up to our gimmicks, you would pick a shounen fighter as your #1, DTL would pick Free, I would pick Tamayura, and so on. Gimmicks aside, we all place a higher value on different things... the AOTY results are a community average more than any indication of specific tastes.

I may watch it some day. Even if something doesn't appeal to me, it's hard to ignore the praise sometimes, especially when it's nearly universal.
I figured he was joking around, but sometimes it's tough to judge tone based on text. Still, we all know each other here and are mostly aware of each other's tastes and posting habits. I like to think of any seemingly confrontational posts as just friendly ribbing.
I see it the other way. Those who like it are having to push back against an unjustified shared conclusion that it's boring and not worth anyone's time. Like with darkside's "I'm glad no more Hyouka is being made" post earlier.
Accurate depiction of the number of clip shows in this goddamn season.
The 'shared conclusion' of a community that voted it anime of the year?

Finished Spice and Wolf. I want to find the person who said no to a third season and make them change their mind. Either that or I need to by a lottery ticket and fund it myself.
Welp, guess I gotta buy some light novels. This is gonna get expensive...

The only person who has flat out stated that it's not worth anyone's time is darkside. Hell I actually like the show but not to the extent as other people here. It's widely considered to have top notch visuals but not everybody likes the actual material comprising the episodes. It's somewhat defensive behavior.

You need to lighten up!
It's just that it happens every time Hyouka is brought up. Every single time.
And then the vocal representation changed its mind on it. This happens sometimes!

We could make this really easy by just forcing people to pick one show and only one show. lol
