I just went quickly through your list and I didn't see a single notable show from this year or period so how do you make that assumption? I am especially confused as you gave S1 of MP 100 a 9 and S2 is even better so why aren't you picking those sequels up? I have only been following anime seasonally since about 2017 but even still i think this year has had a much better start than the last two. Still got a lot more great series next season like Vinland Saga, Dr Stone or Astra Lost in Space.

If your just talking anime in general for you personally maybe you have gotten tired of it as a hobby drop it come back in a few months and see if your still interested. If not just move onto something else.

I guess I haven't watched nearly enough this year to make a broad statement like this. But yeah, I've tried like 20 shows and dropped half of them, and a 12-minute show Senryuu Shojo is something I could tie for the 1st place so far...

Not gonna lie, my current opinion is poor, but I've seen little and still have to try the heavily praised Dororo

2019 is the best year of anime, than 2018. Winter is stacked spring is mediocre 2 shows worth my watch. But summer is good and fall is stacked.

2019 has been worse than 2018, I can say that much. Only new shows I have enjoyed from this year were The Promised Neverland and Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka

Well, I had high hopes for 2019, to be honest...knowing that OPM season 2 release this year. And yeah, I'm just disappointed (at least for OPM).

But I can't say this year is an awful year for anime. At least I got Yakusoku No Neverland (well, that's the only new anime that I really like this year). Maybe there is going to be another one, and that will be a good thing for me.

This year is actually pretty good for sequel besides from OPM (we got mob psycho 2, SNK, Jojo part 5 and any other). But we don't get enough new enjoyable anime.

I hate to nitpick, but JJBA Part 5 started last year so it counts as 2018. It is still by far the best show to watch right now though.

No, even though i haven't yet watched any anime from 2019, i can already tell that it's a better year for me just from the anime aired/airing so far and the ones announced for later this year, i think it's all subjective and depends on each person individual taste, so, for example, while a year full of CGDCT and moe would be absolutely awful for me, it could be a true delight for someone else, that's all there's to it, really, just different taste preferences.

Obviously this must be really subjective. Because winter 2019 is said to be one of the best seasons of anime. Attack on titan season 3 is one of the best anime season in recent years. One of the most iconic shojo manga fruits basket got remade. Not to mention historical fantasy manga such a dororo and kimetsu no yaiba are also adapted.

I do agree that spring is a little slow but we still have two seasons left and summer and fall look really good. Really, you should wait alteast until the year is over to discuss if it was bad or not.

Same! Even though everyone's saying spring 2019 is slow these two shows( and kimetsu no yaiba) are what's making me enjoy this season.

Lets see so far according to anichart

Winter: 4/41 TV shows
Spring: 9/46 TV shows
Summer: 8/34 TV shows
Fall: 2/?? TV shows

overall 13 shows I liked or at least found average to enough to finish and 10 I'm looking forward to. Actually a step up from last year honestly when it came to anime I watched during the season. There are a couple that I do want to watch from last year like that one with the girls who want to go to Antarctica and Bloom into You which I will probably get to eventually.

I’m gonna be honest, I’m not much of a seasonal anime watcher, so I could be inaccurate, but this year has been average, there have been good anime airing this year, dororo, mob Psycho II, Jojo vento aureo (yes I know it’s fall 2018 but it’s airing through this year) but all of the ones that have actually interested me/have really stuck out to me are all sequels or remakes (let’s not forget dororo was a manga and had an anime in the 70’s) but now that I think about it, I haven’t really even seen a lot of other anime this season, so I could be wrong. But I’m just saying most of it hasn’t piqued my interest too much, but I think we’ve had some more dryer seasons probably.
I do plan to watch the fruits basket remake, and maybe try some things that look pretty good like charole and tuesday and the promised neverland

Beautiful list, but the answer is no. We've gotten many great shows this year with more to come. I get that this season itself might be underwhelming, but when you add the amazing Winter season we had, this year hasn't been that awful. Just wait until we've gotten closer to the end of the year, since we haven't even really hit the halfway point until halfway through June.

Demon slayer, and Attack on titan S3P2 make this first half of year great lol plus we have my hero academia coming out October. To me this year is a good year, I liked shows like dorororo, shield hero, promised neverland, and I guess to some extent slime except that shit got bad towards end in my opinion. OH and mob psycho 2 was amazing! One punch man is doing alright as well, so how is this a bad year? lol

Yeah, bad season. We only got like 15 good shows so far, mhm bad year.

But seriously though, if you don't think this year is any good then you might want to take a break from seasonals for a while. 2019 has been good so far, nowhere near to 2018 imo, but still really good.

I think it's been a better year than normal imo. I'm watching 4 currently airing shows, which is more than I usually have, and I find them all to be at least decent. And this is probably gonna be the weakest season of the year. Winter had quite a few well recieved shows. Mob's second season was straight up great. And next season also looks pretty packed with Dr. Stone, Vinland Saga, Fire Force, Astra Lost in Space, and Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo all seeming pretty promising. And Fall looks like there's gonna be new seasons for quite a few popular shows too.

Excluding the remake of fruits basket, so far there is nothing in the romance/drama category yet so I’m not exactly pleased so far, this kind of just seems like a big “it’s the next season of your favorite w/e!!” Season.

I've spent most of the year (and still) waiting for 3 2018 movies to get subs, and they're better than anything that I've tried so far.

So for me personally yes, but mostly because 2017 and 2018 both delivered more in franchises I cared about and had those eventual unexpected gems I'm lacking this year.
So all in all waiting for Chihayafuru 3, and hoping for 7 Seeds and Vinland Saga's adaptations to not suck (?).

Also we had an insanely good winter with Mob fkin Psycho 2, Dororo, Kaguya-sama💙, YnN, Boogiepop among others.
Spring has been pretty decent with really good shows - tho I'm not watching much this spring. But I'm liking the animation on KnY. Also gotta love Isekai quartet.
AND WE ALSO THE MF SnK S3P2.
Go check these shows out.
And as a lotta ppl said its only been 5 months into the year. Smh.

2019 has been an absolute disaster so far. I didn't think last season had any real particular standouts (although, I have not seen all of them) and this season has also been quite terrible. Maybe not as bad, though.

I'm just longing for High Score Girl season 2 to save the year.

I'm never really a season anime watcher so I cant say on alot of shows out this year. I wouldn't say it's a bad year so far though, we've gotten a decent amount of new shows that are both popular and highly rated. People are already throwing out plenty of great recommendations so I dont feel like I need to but if nothing seasonal is interesting you I think it's nice to look back on anime you might have missed from previous years. You could easily find something pretty great. To answer the OP though no I personally dont feel like it has been a bad year so far. Not the best, but a decent one. Even though I'm behind on so many shows I'm still enjoying alot of stuff I do watch from this year. And I think it's pretty great Im enjoying stuff Im seeing already, AND Im actually behind on catching up this season because I know I'll surely find something else I like in all the other shows, AND I'm behind on like... every year of shows haha. And if I do feel like nothing interesting is around I'll just take a break and do something else eh. Stuff will always still be there when I feel like watching.

To an extent, especially in this season (spring). However, we have had good anime from winter and some from spring. We have series like

  • The Promised Neverland - A shounen jump series from winter, it is like a combination between death note and attack on titan and I can see it becoming an influential, mainstream anime in years to come.
  • Dororo is continuing from winter to the end of spring, whilst cour 2 may not be as good as the first, it originated from a classic manga in the 60s by Osamu Tezuka, he was a massive influence on anime. Dororo is a samurai, demon series and can possibly get more attention in time, although it is aired by amazon prime.
  • Demon slayer/Kimetsu no yaiba
  • Rising of the shield hero caused controversy in its first episode, but is gaining popularity little by little, I haven't seen this yet and i dont think i will anytime soon (it isn't my type of show but others may love it)
  • New seasons of anime such as Bungou stray dogs, Attack on titan, One punch man and Mob psycho 100. Hell, The new season of Attack on titan came out around 7 weeks ago (as of writing this) And it is number 2 of highest rated anime of all time
  • Fruits basket 2019 remake is out, and fans love it! The animation is amazing and backgrounds are stunning! This adaptation is covering the whole manga

But I can understand why people may dislike anime in 2019, a lot of them are short in episode screentime

I haven't really seen too much from either year to have much of an opinion but I would say that there are more things that interest me this year than last year. Most of what I saw last year anyway were sequels anyway which I was disappointed at.
