I think 86 is my anime of the year. It and Vivy are probably my Teo favorites this year. But Demon Slayer might take anime of the year just due to its popularity

We should wait until the ending of the season to truly make that call, but at the moment it’s probably my anime of the year as well.

It is for me. There’s been a lot of great anime this year too so not everyone will agree.

I think there’s only been maybe three 10/10s i’ve given this year and Eighty Six (both parts) are two of them.

Absolutely, A-1 Pictures did a perfect job and I mean it, they adapted the Light Novel perfectly and elevated it, one or even the best adaptation ever, masterpiece, Favorite Light Novel and Anime of all time!

Not for me at all, but it is top 10 anime of the year for me at least. Maybe would fall in the 5th to 8th area, depends on the quality of the 2nd cour till its finish.

A few weeks ago, I would've said yes to that, hands down, but man, with Mushoku Tensei's fantastic last couple of episodes (IMO) in the past few weeks, it's hard to say, and I think people like @KANLen09 and @animejas can understand me on why so.

If anything it's easily a top 5 from this year for me at the very least.

The adaptation and quality of episodes 5-7 were above expectations (as a non LN readers).

Easily AOTS and AOTY. Anime has so many layers and thoughts put into it. It's just mindboggling. It's also really nice to see how A1 adapts it because they put some serious effort into every single episode, which I just cannot comprehend.

I also like Mushoku this season though, but the unnecessary stupid jokes and scenes where it portrays sexuality just kill the enjoyment for me. So 86 easily takes the cake home for me this season.

absolutely not, I get why it's popular but it's not that special to me, I can't personally give it more than an 8 right now, a 9 if it ends REALLY well but it's certainly not a 10 for me.

Unless A1 somehow drops the ball for the last five episodes then 86 is absolutely my AOTY.

There's been other fantastic shows this year but this one just hits me different. But damn shout out to 2021 for being the best year of anime in a long time.

That's all fine for now, but what about when we get to the "Shin wears Lena's pantsu on his head" arc ;-)

Well, we both know now that Shin has no character so he won't do any sort of that thing. :'D

I thought it might become his "prevailing goal" or his "consistent philosophy"

I was even hoping he'd change his handle to under(wear)taker

Gonna be hard to compete with To Your Eternity either way. I wasn’t enthralled with S1 of 86, but I’m liking S2 a lot more so far. It’ll depend on how it ends.

Easily the anime of the year so far, but I'll keep an open mind till the end. No new show in 2021, from what I've seen, touched such heavy themes with grace and realism - war, PTSD, mental health, ideals, et cetera. It's not an easy task, most of the anime tend to either sugarcoat or glorify those complex ideas. On top of that, the character development of Lena and Shin is amazing, and the rest of the cast pretty interesting, especially Ernst and Frederica.
Surprisingly, those elements are not the only ones that spice up this magnificent anime. Exploring themes and characters would be enough right? But no, it took a step further. Eighty-six hits us with top-notch symbolism and deep dialogues. Not to mention the few but solid mecha battle scenes. CGI and animation are very decent too.
All in all, that's me praising this newfound diamond that I added in my collection. I guess different strokes for different folks.

P.S: I forgot to mention the sound and the direction. It's self-explanatory though, how crazy they are.

A year that contains Show's like:

-Part 1 of the final Season of AoT
-The second Season of Re:Zero
-Fumetsu no Anata e
-A new Beastars Season
-Odd Taxi
-and Ousama Rankings

Even if I'd be taking Legendary-Status-Anime like AoT out of the picture...

No. Way.

Depends on how the rest of the episodes will go. If we're just basing this off of its first cour then it's still justified to be in the top 3 or 5 this year.

Many people have their doubts on if 86 is really deserving of aoty but as a LN reader I wanna say that if they keep the adaptation in this level it's gonna be the aoty. Note that the actual story hasn't started yet

Including ongoing anime, no.

As anime launched this year? Tough call between 86 and To Your Eternity for me. 86 probably has a slight lead right now as it’s the only anime besides assassin that I look forward to every week and it’s starting to get even better. If it sticks the landing it might just be AOTY but by the looks of it it’s going to drag out past new years to conclude the season because of the delays

yeah I think I like Mushoku Tensei better so far, 86 is probably second out of the airing anime I’m watching though

I haven’t watched anime this year really outside of 86 as I’m kinda busy. However, I was willing to make time for 86 precisely because I fell in love with the novel and Asato’s writing. I don’t care if it’s the best this year, but it’s the best an LN adaptation could get. The level of attention to detail, translating scenes from the LN into anime while taking full leverage of the audio-visual medium of anime to convey emotions and necessary symbolism, the amount of love put into it, adding anime orginal details to elevate the original source instead of skipping stuff like most LN adaptations do. It can’t get any better than this. I just wish SukaSuka had this same level of adaptation.

not my top pick it is top 10. top 3maybe even top 5 or top 3 if you ignore the sequels.

i still have to watch the second half, but so far i doubt anything beating odd taxi and link click.

When we compare the story to Mushoku Tensei, eighty-six is far in the lead. MT has your typical isekai-ish atmosphere with a little bit more realistic approaches than other isekais, that's precisely why people tend to like it more, even though it's not that good. Eighty Six is easily the AOTY and AOTS.

It is not that good

Ousama Ranking is by far the best anime of the season, and one of the best this year.

I also put these anime above 86

Mushoku Tensei,
The world's best assassin
Tokyo Revenger
Fumetsu no Anata e
Heion Sedai no Idaten-tachi (this one is so underrated)
Edens Zero



More people need to watch Ousama Ranking. It does have high score but not popular enough and most people here probably did not watch it (some people judge anime from cover without watching it unfortunately even though the anime has violence).. Strongly recommend people to watch 5 episodes of this anime and I'm 99% sure you will like it.

Heion Sedai no Idaten-tachi is also very underrated. It has over the top stuff llike Kill La Kill but some SJW people downvoted it because of assault scene on first episode
