With the announcement of a second All Stars event, I thought it would be cool to look back at some winning teams, from the past few seasons, that could return this event.

MCC Project G.L.O.P Cyan:

I think this would be a really cool team to have this event, considering that this is one of the only non English speaking teams to win an event, and, unlike the other ones, it's actually balanced in todays roster.

MCC The Copper Crown Pink:

This is arguably the most popular MCC team within the past few years, the hype garnered around this team during practice, and especially after winning is the most I've seen since 2021/22. I would love to see this team make a return.

MCC Pride 2025 Cyan:

The BlockWars team is one that I can't see being in this event as much as the others, unless 5up pushes for it, but I still think that it would be great to see, especially since it's been nearly a year since we've seen Eskay, and even longer since Sleepy was in.

MCC Rising 3 Pink:

Gonna be honest, this one is pure copium, but PLEEEAASSEE, pretty please Sctott

MCC Season 4 Kick Off Red:

This is one of the more likely teams to return imo, it has a strong legacy due to it introducing ChilledChaos, and Feinberg, the latter going on to be one of the best MCC players ever. It's also the first winning team of what I would call 'modern MCC'. Edit: did not realise that Chilled had stopped content creation

Hello! I started watching anime around a year ago and have seen about 10ish (Not sure)

I would say that these 5 have a decent gap over the rest (except csm), and was wondering what animes share the features that I enjoy in these ones. So I'm going to do a short ramble/review about why they are in my top 5. (No spoilers besides vague mentions of the plot)

Death Note: Light is a very interesting mc, and Ryuk makes for very funny dynamic with him. L is a fairly good antagonist (I enjoyed him more when he was just a computer screen but oh well). My main enjoyment in the show comes out of Light's scheming, with the bus hijacking plot being my personal favourite.

Rascal Does Not Dream Of Bunny Girl Senpai: Sakuta is one of my favourite protagonists ever, his development throughout the series is really felt. All of the side characters are well developed, and mostly likable, with Kaede being a standout. The pacing of the show is very odd, in a good way, but still odd. The episodes feel like they are 10 minutes longer than they actually are; I'm complaining though, the more of this show, the better.

A Silent Voice: I find this movie to incredibly emotionally touching; Shoya's recovery from depression and self doubt feels so impactful, and his regret and guilt of his actions during the first 25 minutes makes him very likable. Shoko is one of my favourite characters just generally, and all the side charcters (bar Ueno) are good (I hate Ueno)

Your Name: This film is much weaker then the rest of the list in terms of characters, Taki and Mitsuha are the only characters I have any attachment to, but they still don't have much depth. What makes the film so good for me is the atmosphere; the music and visuals are genuinely beautiful, and the pacing adds to this as well, every scene is as long as it should be. The whole film just feels personal, which is odd considering I've never switched bodies with someone, but it just feels like the film could relate to anyone.

Steins;Gate: Steins;Gate is the best thing I have ever seen, by far, bar none. All characters are great, Kurisu and Okabe being my top 2 in literally anything. The first half of the show does an incredible job at setting up the plot and tension that explodes in the second half. Episode 22, 23, 24 + the OVA all make me cry like 75% of the time with earlier episodes being very emotionally effective as well.

Main things I like in a story: Well developed, and likable characters, some level of humour, slower pacing but I don't hate fast, preferably within 12-40 episodes, I'd also say my favourite genre in romance.
