Arakawa

That would be Paniponi

It was good, but that spot belongs to Zetsubou Sensei

very high iq

Their low-budget style in the first two seasons was perfectly suited to a series about art students. It looks like something the characters in the show could've made. The later seasons lost that charm with the increase in budget, but by that point the series could comfortably coast on the strength of the source material, the OST, and the VAs.

You mean madoka is similar to hidamari you piece of shit

That would be SoreMachi.

Soremachi is one of the few SHAFT anime that's worse than its source material. Still a solid 8/10 on its own merits though.

I remember people calling madoka "Blood-stained Hidamari Sketch"

It's hard to do better than a masterpiece.

Why is Hidamari Sketch not so popular?

Bye bye Ame rica

Plebs get filtered by the double whammy of CGDCT SoL and SHAFT's unorthodox animation techniques.

for me, it's denpa onna

It's not even close. It was 10/10 before I realized Yuno was my daughteru. Now it's 11/10. PaniPoni is pretty great though.
I know what you mean, but we got four seasons. It's objectively popular, it just might not have insane shit-flinging threads that persist for years. We just have slow, gentle, wide-flinging threads instead.

Imagine having not seen Zetsubou Sensei, Paniponi, and Hidamari Sketch. I enjoyed Arakawa and Soremachi, still got some good shit waiting for me.

Nazuna wets her bed and Nori cleans after her.

For me, it's Hiro!
