This is how I would imagine AOTY in early 2020:
1.Re Zero S2
2.Oregairu S3
3.86
4.Fumetsu no Anata e
5.Jibaku Shounen Hanako kun

I think everything will go as what I expect , but then....

Hanako kun starts feels weird in Eps 10 , then I realize , that they Skipped many manga chapters. And then Oregairu , although I enjoyed it so far , most fan complaint about how they cut Yukino monologues , although some (including me) know that's the risk of 12 episode adaptation. And then , the other two (Fumetsu no Anata and 86) delayed . Damn how unpredictable this year is . And don't forget , in July I thought people will love GoH and it will be extremely popular like how Demon Slayer done , but it turned out to be rushed and less popular towards Normies . So how is the AOTY standings after all?

2020 AOTY belongs to Bill and Ted 3 Face The Music
edit: now that Love Live! will be airing from October 3rd that is the new official masterpiece of the decade

A Certain Scientific Railgun T is the best anime of this year. It has the best animation in the franchise. The story for both arcs are great. The openings were both bangers. Also it is the show I enjoyed watch most this year.

Edit: As far as non-sequel anime I haven't seen Great Pretender yet but have only heard amazing things about it but I can't speak for it. My number 1 non-sequel anime is Ishuzoku Reviewers it was number 1 here on MAL for a reason.

I think Attack on Titan Final Season will transcend more for being AOTY despite I’m a huge Re:Zero fanboy.

Not happening bud. AoT ain't going to air this fall. I think they silently delayed it since it's not on the Fall seasonal list anymore.

Great Pretender is the most serious contender for the AOTY imo, and for the sequels it would be either Kaguya-sama S2 or Re:Zero S2

(Dorohedoro and Eizouken are also great)

At the beginning of the year, I thought that Re:Zero would be my 2020's AOTY. The current season has been fantastic, but Kaguya-sama S2 blew my mind, so I'll give to it the first place.

Kaguya-sama s2 is my favorite right now, since I didn’t watch that much this year, and I also started watching anime this year. If anyone says Tower of God, I’m losing faith in humanity.

Unpopular opinion btw:

I don’t understand the appeal of Great Pretender. It’s like these characters are just too playful with themselves, making it boring for me in general. It’s some kind of generic American Crime Drama in anime version.

I imagine most people will choose Re:Zero, but I personally don't like it.

If we are counting sequels, I would pick Kaguya-Sama S2, if not I would pick Eizouken.

I haven't watched Great Pretender, so I don't have an opinion on it.

I have the whole scale, I'm gonna use the whole scale.

I wouldn't be so sure, there hasn't been any official news about the release date and many people are speculating that we'll get the news for its release date this month. Fingers crossed.

I haven't given any anime from 2020 above an 8/10 yet but so far this year my AOTY is:

Ascendance of a Bookworm 2 (including sequels)
Toilet Bound Hanako-kun (non-sequels)

Here's hoping that Fall is good...

Three quarters into 2020 and Kaguya-sama S2 is easily the AOTY.
Great Pretender and Dorohedoro for honorable mentions.
Not sure if any titles from Fall 2020 could be strong contenders as most of 'em were pushed to next year. ig Jujutsu Kaisen and Akudama Drive are some shows to look out for.

Yeah! Good idea everyone! Let's choose AOTY before the year even ended! No AoT in AOTY? You must be joking. Also how the hell do you know that the upcoming anime will be good? Y'all already out here giving these anime AOTY wtf.

Here is how my list goes (so far because there are still a shit ton of anime left to come out)-
1. Re:Zero S2
2. Sword Art Online
3. Oregairu
4. Kaguya-sama
5. Ishuzoku Reviewers

Only two anime crossed my 8/10 threshold in 2020 so far, Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na and Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai?: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen. Runner ups Dorohedoro and Honzuki no Gekokujou: Shisho ni Naru Tame ni wa Shudan wo Erandeiraremasen 2nd Season. That's all above 7/10, it was a lousy year so far.

AOTY that's not from a recurring title? Kinda unlikely. Most of the returnees have been established shows in the past few years so I'm almost expecting them to hog the top lane while other original shows fight somewhere down the ladder.

Personal AOTY would be Deca-Dence though.

aside from the sequels this year is pretty much a flop,
for new anime i'd say eizouken and dorohedoro(both of which i didn't finish but are good as far as i watched)

Personally, Eizouken by a fair bit. Kaguya S2 was also fantastic, but Eizouken is just better to me and nothing this season is coming close to that, and I don't see much that I think will compete next season (although I'd love to be wrong)
