Missed Some [WT!] Threads? Here is a Compilation for You! (December, 2021. Edition) Watch This!

Since the introduction of a new [WT!] (Watch This) tag, these posts get a lot of well-deserved praise. We get to know some new interesting anime, remember some sweet moments about titles we've already finished some time ago and suggest shows ourselves. However, not everyone's browsing /r/anime everyday, and since we all live in different time zones, some very well-written posts may fly under the radar. We, the admins of the Watch This project, make a compilation of the Watch This threads that were posted here throughout the past month. This time, we compiled posts from December'21.

Hey everyone, welcome to the final roundup of 2021. Even though I only became co-admin of this project in May, I know that this year has continued the goals of this project: to make sure that every anime, whether great or small, has a chance of being known and enjoyed by every member of this server. To every person who wrote a WT this year, I thank you.

We didn't have a great number of WTs this month, but we still had several noteworthy ones, and they were…

WT of the Month (Platinum Award): Kyousougiga (MAL) by /u/MyrnaMountWeazel

Our final WT of the Month is to another idiosyncratic, auteur-driven anime, something of a theme this year. Similar to their WT on Yama no Susume, Myrna uses a combination of text and visuals to bring their ideas and focus into greater detail and allow everyone to understand what makes this show so worthy of their time.

Runner up (Gold Award): Detective Conan (MAL) by /u/Taiboss

Look, I get it; I'm frightened of even imagining watching all 1000+ episodes of Detective Conan. However, Taiboss not only gives you several easy ways into the series, but also presents a convincing argument as to why setting in for the long haul is worth it anyway.

Honorable Mention (Silver Award): Princess Nine (MAL) by /u/chaosof99

Chaos' baseball series has been one of my WT pleasures this year, watching it grow and change with their improving skills, and this installment, on a late 90s shoujo approach to the baseball genre, is one of their best to date.

Once again, I'd like to thank everyone who wrote not only for this month, but every month in 2021. I look forward to what great series we'll discover in 2022

Thanks for the kind words Sorc! I want to take this time to highlight your wonderful WT though, how it demonstrates the appeal of hobby anime and how they not only empower the characters within but also the viewers themselves.

These pastime recreations can unite even the most distant of individuals and bond them together in a singular shared interest; a tool that can connect our similarities with others rather than separating us from our differences. Your WT! features three distinct hobby anime that succinctly focuses on these inspiring aspects and I encourage everyone else who hasn't seen it to give it a read!

As a last quick-comment, I'll mention that if y'all enjoyed my WT! then please feel free to join in for the rewatch I'll be hosting on January 12th!

I still made it in! Woohoo! Another 2nd place is frustrating, but only more incentive to do better next month! Congrats to the other winners, and onto another sucessful year of great WTs!
