I didn't want 16bit Sensation in my rankings anymore after the story jumped the shark, but I didn't have any good replacements for it either. Until now. Sokushi Cheat's first episode was marvelous, with action, humor and romance already going at full tilt. I know from the manga that it's a good story, but the anime makes it so much more emphatic. This reminds me of Isekai Nonbiri Nouka -- the anime is so much better than the manga that it suddenly becomes great.
I don't need Sokushi Cheat to be a masterpiece, all I need it to be is better than 16bit Sensation, and for that purpose it will serve me well. Someday I expect it too will be replaced by something better, but who knows when that 'someday' might come. For now it totally deserves its 200th place. At the end of the season we'll see if it can rise up any further than that.
Since all great anime deserve mention in my fictional character hall of fame, I also replaced Konoha with Tomochika (the heroine of Sokushi Cheat). Tomochika is prettier than Konoha and has a combination of common sense and a strong sense of justice. I respect a lot about her. It's a shame because I had Konoha as Aoba's child, two game makers, but now Tomochika is Aoba's child and there's no common bond between mother and daughter. Everything's a tradeoff, though, and the higher priority is only honoring things actually deserving of honor. 16bit Sensation didn't deserve mention in an all-time great gallery so it had to go, Konoha and all.
Now that I finally have a respectable top 200 anime, maybe I won't need to edit it or '100 Waifus' ever again. That would be nice.
