@FTGM: Yeah, I think Parasyte is, and trust me it's hyped >__> Seen people going on about it for ages, it's the one of the top animes of the season on a number of forums and already has a rank of 63 on MAL for some unholy reason. Still, Tokyo Ghoul's anime wasn't that popular even (it did help the manga a lot though) because it deviated from the manga apparently and people hated the silly ending. So I don't get why Parasyte is as popular as it is, but oh well. To me it's like every Marvel superhero story ever smooshed together with alien on the side. Nothing amazing or out of this world (pun intended) and the characters seem to only act however they like to advance the plot or stop it from advancing >__>

StayNight isn't bad, don't get me wrong, but I wonder if people would still adore it if you took away the great animation. Serious question, because I see a lot of people going "omg... that fight looked awesome"/"The scenes are amazing"/"Love the animation" etc but not many people going on about the amazing plot .-. Still, it does have some nice aspects to it, I will agree.

I like KimiUso a lot. It can be a bit over-dramatic at times and I sorta go "blehg", but at it's core it is really moving and the story is easy to follow and the characters enjoyable. Plus the animation and music are hands down, undeniably outstanding. It's doing stuff that I don't see many animes do and has a serious look at child abuse and growing up, so I really can't fault it. I hope it continues to impress :)

@Misk: Heh. And, well, if I have anything to say, just skip Parasyte. It's interesting in some aspects, but the hype and calls for anime of the year have definitely not helped my outlook on it, because it is far from amazing.
