This time I decided to wait a bit so that more people can complete everything in peace.

Just like last time, only anime that get scores above 7 will be used for the poll.

Those that didn't make it:


Time limit: 3 weeks

So vote, comment and discuss as much as You want.

Mushishi was indeed the greatest but my vote will have to go to Ping Pong. I expected nothing and got so much in return.

In terms of enjoyment it would be Love Live S2 :D

It's a shame MAL doesn't allow multiple choice polls.

As for me it was No Game No Life, followed by Haikyuu, Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei and Black Bullet.

Mushishi Zoku Shou is my favorite in term of quality and enjoyment, second and third place goes to Isshuukan Friends and Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou. Love Live S2 managed to entertains me well, but falls slightly behind due to its flop on Love Live event which feels like an unimportant event.
NGNL was my guilty pleasure.

I voted for Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii. It was largely unnoticed with all of the other more popular offerings, but if you like a nice romance, fantasy, adventure type it's very good. and not the usual kind either.

This is really unfair. Its too hard to decide which one was the best. q.q

Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei I voted for this one since this is still ongoing.
Black Bullet
Gokukoku no Brynhildr
Selector Infected WIXOSS This was really interesting. I never though a card game could be this fun.
No Game No Life One of the best in the previous season. I hope it will continue soon.

And I need to mention Hitsugi no Chaika since that one was also good. Not top5 but I liked it. :3

@Shadowthegod, my main problem with Mahouka, even tho I like it, is that they skip and change some stuff compared to the LN, which I simply love.

Out of the ones I watched I enjoyed quite a few but I wasn't able to give out any 9s anywhere tbh.

There was one 10 though, so yeah this is no contest whatsoever, NGNL all the way.


WIXOSS would prob be my 2nd pick, though it really needs its sequel (which is coming in the Fall).

It seems most people voted for No Game No Life, yeah it was enjoyable but was it really the best? Since it doesnt have an ending it can't be the best.
From what I've watched the best and most enjoyable would be Ping Pong Animation, it was unexpectedly good, had likable characters and a decent ending.
For JJBA: Stardust Crusaders studio is doing a good job to adapt the manga but they are censoring it too much its ridiculous.

Do anime that have continuations need an ending? NGNL is a Light Novel adaptation, so there's no point in forcing an ending if they can continue it in the future. In some cases open endings are better than forced endings made by some studios...

Well, to be considered as "the best" it must have an ending.
Continuation isnt guaranteed so anime should have an acceptable ending and ngnl doesnt have one but if a second season was announced right after s1 ended I wouldnt mind any ending.

very few anime actually have a real conclusive ending though, not that often that a series gets adapted all the way to the end of its respective manga/LN

if you're gonna use that as a delimitation it'll cut away 80% of the market or something

I voted for Mangaka to assistant-san, that Sidonia no Kishi, and Soredemo wa Ustukushii would probably be my spring top 3.
And just out of curiosity what determines which spring anime make it to the polling? I would guess the MAL rating but I'm not sure.

@Seelteam, from few seasons before this, after few consultations, I decided to use the MAL rating, and only use anime that get scores 7 and above, so that the list isn't too big. It still makes a long list but not as long as it could be.

It seems Haikyuu is popular but only one other person voted for it (besides me that is) :( Soredemo was nice too. It's been a while (4-5 years give or take) since the last good romance/shoujo anime. Ping pong was an acceptable slice-of-life (once you get past the art).

I haven't watched NGNL--not really into sci-fi which it seems like it falls under? If it's anything like C then I'll have to wait until I'm in the right "mood" for it. But really 44% ? Smur o.O

Mushishi is on hold. I still haven't finished the first season...
Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.
I might be crazy. So, what's the problem?

It's definitely not sci-fi, it's a game/fantasy/comedy with an extremely over-the-top feel to it (like Gurren Lagann atmosphere for example) and a protag somewhat reminiscent of Light/Lelouch

NGNL is NOT like C. NGNL is comedy, and nothing you should take seriously. It's not Sci-fi either, it's fantasy.

So many people loved NGNL and to be honest, I also found it really entertaining. However, after I thought about all of the ridiculous stuff that happens, like the random king assassination in the chess game, I just couldn't give it more than a 7.

Man, any Ping Pong fans? Ping Pong is light years better than NGNL in my opinion. I couldn't stand NGNL.

I can see why you'd say Ping Pong is "better"

However this is *entertainment* media, and in that regard the show was fucking boring, hence I can't really approve of it, whereas NGNL was pretty much literally oriented around the very concept of having fun

Glad You reminded me. :P It's about time to close the voting.

And the winner is with 45% of votes... No Game No Life... who would have expected that. :P

Somewhat of a downer to see so few votes on Haikyuu, Kuroko no Basket's fans and even sports' ones probably didn't enjoy it as much as I am (and I still see No Game No Life as one of the best animes this year).
