73. Favorite worldbuilding
Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou. I love big empty worlds, and Tsukumizu-sensei’s post-apocalyptic cityscape perfectly fits the bill. There’s exactly enough mystery in their worldbuilding to keep it interesting, and enough explanation to understand how it came to be. Whether the explanation makes a lot of sense is another story, but the weirdness-factor is exactly right as well and as such improves the theme rather than taking away from immersion.
Honorable mentions: Shinsekai yori, Sakasama no patema, One Punch Man.
4. Favorite characterization
Yagate kimi ni naru. Now this might come as a huge surprise ... seeing as I’ve been exalting that series above all else for years now, but Nakatani-sensei provides such deeply satisfying little insights into how her characters think and why they act like they do that it’s almost too much at times. Especially when she comes out with an interview and tells us how a certain character was conceived to be read and that being exactly how a majority of readers see them. Yagakimi’s story itself certainly relies on some a little tired tropes and doesn’t revolutionize much in that regard. But the characters make the story stand out nonetheless, by being seemingly living, breathing constructs in a way very, veeery few others manage to convey.
Honorable mentions: Monogatari series, Tsuki ga kirei, Sora yori mo tooi basho, Tsukiatte agete mo ii kana, 34-sai mushoku-san.
7. Favorite ship
Kobayashi-Tooru gives me aaaalll the feels.
MadoHomu will never get old.
TouYuu is a given.
Kanata-Kazuki (14-sai no koi) is just extremely sweet.
Honorable mentions: HoriMiya, Koyomi-Hitagi, Chito-Yuuri, KyouSaya, HinaRei, and of course all The Grumpy One Is Soft For The Sunshine One.
27. Favorite doujin
Kono mama sekai ga owaru made by Rapparu.
Hana no aru, aru hi. by Ryuunosuke (and basically all his stuff in that universe).
28. Favorite anituber
Gigguk, because he provides exactly the right mix of personality, snark and content. Then again, I know like three anitubers in total (MB and TAM being the others).
