lol bunny anime actually leading

you people are insane and delusional as shit

bunny anime makes no sense whatsoever, unexplained dumb supernatural shit that isn't connected at all that makes no sense and has no reason to happen or exist and is completely and fully convenient and obedient for the plot with tryhard overly-forced characters


best animes this year are citrus and goblin slayer

lots of music -

Hinamatsuri for me is the best non-sequel anime of the year.

Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru best anime this year imo




RUNNING returned to me in an even more beautiful form.

Satsuriku no Tenshi, which is not included in the poll, was my no. 1 for 2018. If I have to go with one from the list then I'll choose Steins;Gate 0.

Kinda wondering what the criteria for inclusion or exclusion of some anime in this list were. Some stuff just seems wrong, while some higher rated and/or more popular shows were left out.

Nevertheless it's interesting to see the amount of votes for each season. Autumn clearly in the lead followed by winter. Seems like spring is off a bit worse than it actually should be(e.g. like already mentioned missing Golden Kamuy). And as expected summer dead last.

Dammit OP you were supposed to wait for like 3 more weeks so that we could make a better assessment for the Fall season. Someone should create another thread after Christmas.

There were lots of really good shows this year although none that was so amazing that it would be the obvious choice.

I really liked The Ancient Magus' Bride which had it's 2nd cour in 2018 so I might choose that as the best. BnHa s3 was also really good. Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken and Bunny girl senpai are very strong contenders so I'd need to wait till the end of December to decide which was the best of 2018.

Nurguburu said:
I'm going to create another poll near the end of the year due to the fact that almost no show from Fall has yet ended.

Exactly, it's way too early. This poll should be created in the last few days of the year or even in Jan when all 1 cour shows of fall 2018 end. Oh well this happens every year, someone always rushed to be the first to create this poll.

Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan for me! This was the show I've been looking forward to the most each month and it makes me feel great.

If I wasn't such a big Fate fan Devilman:Crybaby would be my AotY. Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru as well.

I also think Golden Kamuy, Attack on Titan season 3, LOGH Die Neue These and After the Rain were great as well.

Stiens:Gate 0. My God, as if the original series wasn't good enough.
I have some really cool pictures that I think as an avi pic would look kinda...well cool. But MAL keeps telling me the pictures to big, and I have a rule to procrastinate at every opportunity I'm given. So only the Good Lord knows if an image will ever be associated with the single digit post count demon, KamiLovesAO.
If you are actually interested in seeing some of those pictures of me doing absolutely nothing exciting at all, they are on my IG, which is, coincidentally the same as my name here. Anyways, E7 forever.

SAO Alicization has nice animation, but I still find the story trash imsorry.

Hataraku Saibou got a little bland for me in the middle but the start and ending was good.

Megalo Box was really good, I also really loved AoT S3 and Boku no Hero Academia S3! The hype is really with these two series.

Asobi Asobase, Happy Sugar Life, and of course Banana Fish. Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru & Hanebado! is really REALLY good too huhu. Hinomaruzumo is also really nice ;o; Tsurune seems a little underrated but nevertheless it's a nice calming sports anime. Being a former art student, Irozuku captures me so much.

Tokyo Ghoul re: 2 and Anime Yell! was a downer for me :c

Some good titles came out this year, so it will be a bit of a hard choice but I know I ain't picking Steins;Gate 0.

Seeing as Bunny Girl Senpai is getting so much love I should start watching it before the year ends and see what the fuss is about.

The best shows this year (in my opinion) were High Score Girl and Uchi no Maid ga Uzasugiru!

There weren't a whole lot of shows aside from those that I actually liked.

Yagate Kimi Ni Naru not on the list. OP is an uncultured swine. SAO beating Bunny Girl Senpai in votes. Voters are uncultured swine.

I say again: Bloom In To You number one. Honorable mentions to Gridman, Sora Yori, Violet Evergarden and High Score Girl.

Every anime sucked. None of them good anime deserving of year.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.

It's quite good and enjoyable, but that's all to me. I can't really point at major flaws or issues but I can't find highlights either.

I haven't watched much this year, so can't really say, but if Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai deserves a second place, then it looks like it was once again a mediocre-to-bad year.
