I am curious to know what you all think of the anime year so far? In my opinion, believe it has been a good year for anime as there have been a lot of above average to really good anime being released so far, and I expect that trend to continue with current summer anime season as well the fall anime season.

Although, I will say that I have not any anime I would consider great to released yet, but I would argue that this could be the best anime year of the decade in my opinion due to the depth of good anime being released.

Nothing amazing so far. A couple of 8/10 shows. Love Live! Superstar!! 3rd Season and Natsume Yuujinchou Shichi potential 9/10 candidates in my book.

Hoping for a good Fall season.

Dungeon Meshi is the anime of the year
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

It's not as good as the 2006-2015 era, but still WAY better than 2016-2022. The year is similar to 2023 in quality.

Pretty good just like every other year of this decade. The Fall season, usually one of the strongest, will be decisive to determine whether it's going to be better than 2021-2022-2023 or not.

Pretty good for some sequels. Dangers in My Heart, Mushoku Tensei, Kingdom and Monogatari are all pretty damn awesome to have back. Don't know if it is overall better than last year but at least I'm getting something I like with each season, which is a good change from a couple years ago.

Great year.

There are a lot of good sequels and a lot of good new anime. Fall 2024 only started, but it looks like it's going to be another great season.

I've seemingly missed out on the series that most people talk about like GBC, but I liked Blue Archive the Animation, Dungeon Meshi, and Atri. I'm really excited for Re:Zero season 3 as well. So, I think that I'd say it's a pretty good year for anime IMO :)

The ongoing Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War for many reasons. The nostalgia factor and After waiting so long since I finished the manga, it incredibly satisfying to see it come to life with such high-quality animation and storytelling..
As a mystery fan I'll give 2nd place to Kamonohashi Ron which I found fantastic for its intricate mysteries and engaging detective. work.
3rd place will be natsume youjinchou Shichi. Natsume franchise brought such warmth and beautiful anime over the years about finding your place in life by meeting the right friends to support you.its brought something new to the youkai genre.
Yurucamp (Laid-Back Camp)3 at 4th continued to offer me that cozy, feel-good camping vibe, perfect backdrop and sceneries .
And 5th place to Shinanoko koshitantan My Deer Friend for a bit of nonsensical comedy which was fun watch.

For this year, Dungeon People has been a highlight for me, very fun show. Vtuber Legend was a surprisingly competent comedy, I've enjoyed both seasons of Shy a lot, Dead Dead Demons was also very good. In terms of what's airing right now, Magilumiere and Acro Trip are both very fun at the moment, though it's too early to call them anime of the year.

I think 2024 has been one of the weaker years for anime. Been a few good anime. Plenty of average ones, but nothing outstanding.

I believe 2024 has been a really great year for anime overall. I’ve watched a lot of shows, probably almost as many as last year. 2023 was a little better for me in terms of the number of shows I watched. Summer 2024 was the weakest season I’ve had in the last few years.

Looking forward to seeing what 2025 brings!

dead dead dead demon destruction for me, but no one watch it because bad marketing and the plot were heavily carried/payoff on the 2nd half of the season so people dropped it on 1-3 ep wouldnt know how good it is. but overall this year had some good depth of shows so far.

Not bad. Kny hashira training was the best so far. Bleach will be amazing as well. Lots of good romcoms so far.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

Update: Fall is turning out to be a very weak season, saved only by Chi.; definitely much weaker than the last three Fall seasons.

On the other hand though, when I posted my previous comment I hadn't watched the anime of the decade Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction yet. If I also take Look Back into account (waiting for it to be available), I think I can safely say that 2024 surpassed 2021 and it is for me the best year of the 2020s.

"Delicious in Dungeon" along with "Orb: On the Movements of the Earth" (Vinland Saga but with Polish Astronomy) might just be my personal picks for anime of the year, if we dont count Frieren and Apothecary Diaries as this year's anime.

Worst anime of the year is Uzumaki, what an absolute train wreck of a production 5 years in the making.

Winter and Spring were pretty great seasons, Summer was kinda dead (like irl summer) and relied on last seasons longer shows to pick up the slack, Fall seems to be another banger season not counting Uzumaki trash.

@Noobmixups yea, I was just so happy to see my favourite manga get adapted and seeing the amount of love put to the project (the voice actors and soundtrack are perfect), even with all the mess crunchyroll did was still a great experience

If we're including Frieren, Apothecary Diaries, and Dungeon Meshi, which all finished airing in 2024, then it's stacked. Also Kimi ni Todoke S3 was fire and 10/10, longer eps worked really well. I've been eating good this year.

Astro Note and Metallic Rouge were surprising hits for me. Dadadan looks very promising.
