I kinda didn't really watch anything in 2015 or early 2016, so I'm not going to make a judgement.

But isn't it August? Like, the 8th month out of the year? The 8th out of a possible 12? 2/3rds? We've still got 1/3rd to go. Who knows, maybe someone will drop some hot fire and make this year the diggity bomb ya hear? (I am sorry for the quality of this sentence)


Nope, Fall season looks boring, only people that are fans of slice of life and sports anime will enjoy that season. I'm already looking forward to 2017.

Fall has Natsume Yuujinchou and Kiss Him not Me though. I saw your list and it seems you didn't like Musashi so you probably wouldn't like Natsume either since its more relaxed, but it does have a couple intense scenes here and there.

I just hope 2017 FMP! and PeaceMaker Kurogane come out and that PMK is an actual sequel to the first anime/manga since the first anime already adapted the entirety of the first PMK manga.

years feel about average to me.

from 2015 I likes arslan, one punchman and rokka no yuusha from last year. Fail of a dragonball sequel came out this year and Gate was a let down in the end.

from 2016 so far Re:zero and hero academia for sure i like. We got an arslan sequel as well and the year isnt over.

Kiznaiver was so disappointing for me as I was expecting something like Killa la Kill, Gurrenn Laggan from Trigger.

Mob Psycho is good but not on the level of One Punch Man. It's still running so there is still possibility for it to improve.

Boku no Hero Academia dropped after a a few episodes, I might give it another try though.

I haven't watched the rest so I can't comment.


So you wanted Trigger to make the same show...AGAIN, makes sense.

Mob Psycho is almost categorically better than OPM. The characters are better, there is more motivation and emotion in the series and the jokes are less repeated than they are in OPM, which is essentially just one joke.

BNHA is pretty generic and it's being animated slowly so.

Then don't complain that 2016 is worse if you haven't watched that many 2016 anime.

2016 > 2015 because of re zero
2015 have nothing good except death parade
(Opm and ubw was cancer and Noragami Aragoto was mediocre)


what about the durararas or one punch man bro

Didn't like 2015 much. In my entire career of watching anime, 2015 was probably the worst year overall. Nothing really stood out to me, except for OPM. Death Parade got progressively more disinteresting as it continued and FSN UBW's pacing was so awful that I tuned out by the end of the series.

So yeah, hopefully 2016 is a lot better.

If you average all the shows, 2015 is better but that is just because 2015 has less bad shows and more average shows.

However if you consider top-heavy/good shows, 2016 wins out. In addition the best anime of the last two years has also come out in 2016.

ReLIFE is not even good

Jojo part 4, Mob Psycho 100, Bersek, Arslan Senki, Tales of Zestiria the X, Boku no Hero Academia, Nejimaki Seirei Senki, Assasination Classroom 2 and 91 days are some example of good anime in 2016

Coming from someone that recently just started watching anime a lot. I will say the 16 seasons have sold me more than the 15 season. I did in fact try to start up a few shows last year but I feel that some titles to release so far in 2016 of weighed more heavily. This completely opionated and based on my own experience.

Omg took the words out of my mouth. I LOVE that we are getting another season of Natsume this year.

This year I have loved:

Orange, Sweetness and Lightening, Relife, Mob Pscyho 100, Sakamoto, Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu, Ajin, She and her Cat: Everything Flows, Cheer Boys.

Continuation of Osomatsu-san which is the best comedy ever. oh and Doukyuusei movie which is hands down the best shonen ai thing I have ever seen ever. I cry.

My friends were into Super Lovers, Erased, Love Live! Sunshine!!, Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu LOVE! LOVE!, Kimi no Na wa..

Did you know, I haven't liked more than one or two shows in a year least the year they came out, since 2010? And this year I have now been blessed with so many shows I don't know which one is best? Particularly this season? Wow. I feel so happy. The jaded anime fan spell has been broken. I stopped listening to other people about "show of the year" and now I am finally happy just living life free.
