Episode 19 is the best episode in anime history. All other anime this year have either been disappointing or mediocre. Jokes aside, it's a good anime in what is animation action with a decent to mediocre cast of characters which that follows some tropes in it's genre but executes them very well. but aoty don't think so even though I haven't seen much this year. |

| It's funny how some people call Vinland Saga AOTY, when there are only 8 episodes are out and nothing special has happened so far, it's very far from AOTY I guess manga readers are hyping it up Mob Psycho 100 II, SnK 3/2, The Promised Neverland, KnY, Kaguya-sama, Shield Hero these are all way better than Vinland Saga |

| meh, typical battle shounen that gets undeserved praise hopefully vinland will get better and blow this thing out the water, but i doubt that will happen sadly |
| I think that there is no anime, that is going to beat AoT this year |
| When it has laughable plot and characters? Even for shounen standard it is pretty bad |
Rastafa21 said: It's objectively the best, no contest. Anyone who says otherwise has bad taste. Episode 19 is the best episode in anime history. All other anime this year have either been disappointing or mediocre. So bad tastes are the ones different from you, right? Since yours are objective as it seems... This anime has great animation and a very good beginning (music is also nice), but its pacing became inconsistent over the time, we even had completely useless episodes (when they get some rest), the plot has one line, some characters are very weakly built (crying or being angry defines them almost entirely), Nezuko is a mere object during 19 episodes, etc... If it were "objectively" the best, one could address each of the above points, but I think that they are probably closer to "objective" weak points of the overall series. Otherwise the year is not finished, and without mentioning over-hyped stuff like BmHA (average old recipe but flashy animation) or Mob Psycho 2 (no plot and boring at times), we will have a lot of interesting things coming in the Fall, such as Chihayafuru S3. But I guess that you may have meant "best anime of the year in the shounen category"? Then even restricting to shounen, I actually believe that from ratings and popularity SnK is the best anime of the year, no matter what you think (statistics win). Plotwise, it is certainly far superior to KnY... quite objectively. |
| @Meusnier so many dumb statements, me eyes are hurting. Useless episodes? Lmao please tell me how was episode 14 useless. You thought it was put there just for the comedy? I can’t even... do I really have to tell you how was it useful? Maybe to build the dynamics between the main characters? And I could go on Characters with weak characterization? Are we even watching the same show. Ignoring the fact that they got developed already a lot, this is a shounen, with a lot of chapters, and you think that the characters will be fully developed in the span of 4 chapters? Like, lmao what? Nezuko was not an object. It is a full fledged main character. And she’s the true embodiment of the main theme of the anime. AND, she later on deep in the manga gets some development as well. Boy, at least try to be more convincing when trying to hate for the sake of hating. |

Dude, don't patronize me and stop calling me "boy". Dumb statements? Rather than insulting people, try to make a real point next time. For example, concerning Nezuko, why do your bring up the manga in a discussion about "the best anime of the year"? I hope that you realise how absurd it is. If you had eyes, you could have seen that I gave a temporary 9 to this series. I certainly don't hate it, I find it quite enjoyable but it does not prevent me to use my brain and to spot the weak points... If arguing that a series might not be the best of the year is hating it, you have an issue about basic logics (negation)... Rather than criticizing "dumb statements" from a "boy" with tons of questions marks, it would be more interesting for the OP to know if and why you consider this anime to be the best of the year (or not). |

You earn points for mentioning Jojo's, seriously the anime community has the memory capacity of a fish, its all about recency bias!! They all forget the good shit they watched a few months ago and focus on the new stuff. Also if "muh Sakuga" is the only thing that determines AOTY than i guess Fire Force will be the Greatest anime of this year... Also ma boii @Vooo imma need the sauce for that gif of yours, is that the chick from Black Lagoon??! Princess Resurrection https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdBt9SbNV2k |

| Simple answer. No. There have been much better shows than this one. For one thing, it features some of the most annoying characters I have recently encountered in anime. All those paltry attempts at humour not only fall flat but are annoying. The show should have opted for a no-nonsense tone a la SnK but the way it is the quality of the show fluctuated to much in more recent episodes. Vinland Saga, Dororo and even Promised Neverland were better. Haven't watched the second half of the third season of SnK nor have I watched the second season of Mob Psycho 100 but I am sure those are also better. |
ShanAsuna said: Just because a story has common themes (family bond, shounen themes) doesn't mean it's bad. Doesn't mean it's good eiter. KnY deals with its theme of family bonds in a cheap way. A good example is the relationship between Tanjiro and Nezuko, the threat to their bond is quickly resolved. Nezuko has been reduced to a plot device even though she tranformed to a demonic creature who's supposed to crave human blood. Everytime the story has a chance to give depth to what Tanjiro is going through, it's waved away and instead we get silly chibi comic relief. Because fuck coming up good dialogue between Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke. The demon backstories suck. For the most part they serve to make Tanjirou a perfect character capable of empathy towards demons, because he can sense their emotions at their passing. Since the setting of this story is poorly thought out, so are the little stories. Take Rui (most recent villain), fragile boy gets turned into demon after Muzan visits him, lacks details so all we see is him bringing back a dead body back to his parents' house, not knowing why they still allow him to come in or why they were okay with Muzan's offer. He kills his parents and ''forgets'' about them, his goal as a demon is to make a new family through torture porn, but at his death he regains memories and regrets his decisions. His parents forgive him and join him to Hell, even though his character as a human child was completely different from his time as a demon. It's just dumb ShanAsuna said: Just because some stories have uncommon themes (such as vikings which really isn't uncommon except in anime) doesn't mean it's automatically good. Doesn't mean it's bad either. Do you actually have something to say? Strange how the guy you were talking to didn't even bring up VS, shows how deeply rooted your hatred for it is lol ShanAsuna said: I know angsty little teenage boys think dark themes, an angsty protagonist who responds to loss with anger and hate, and death metal screaming show "depth" or "sophistication". They are also intolerant of wholesome stories and think kindness is weakness. But to a more mature audience, that's not how it works. Someone pretending to show signs of maturity because he doesn't know how else to get his point across is common for angsty little teenage boys. Ranting about Vinland Saga while gushing about KnY's ''wholesome'' story has nothing to do with being mature, quite the opposite. I see you're still holding on to the illusion you know what you're talking about. Fact is Vinland Saga deals with its protagonist in a mature way. And most viewers adored his dad, the most wholesome character of the story. Again all your opinions are completely ill-informed and this time more retarded than ever. It's hard to comprehend what your deal with VS is, or maybe it really just is that you mistake your delusional perception of VS fans for what VS actually is about. So mature Tanjiro is a boring Mary Sue so his characterization isn't worth any praise. It's also funny how you ignore how dark KnY is and that it actually has way more gruesome violence. KnY is infinitely more edgy than VS, so are you |

| @Thanjh It's not about seeking acknowledgement, more about continuing fandom wars ,it's time well spent imo. And I don't entirely disagree, I don't think KnY is bad, I'm trying to figure out what people see in KnY because how I see it its storytelling doesn't even come close to something like MHA lol. A lot of praise goes to the MC for being ''kind'' but even Naruto and his talk no jutsu is more interesting and feels more genuine. |

Rastafa21 said: Come on dude "anime history" the only thing good about this episode is the last 2 minutes of animation otherwise its just another average episode and there are tons of other great anime episodes that are way better than this one.It's objectively the best, no contest. Anyone who says otherwise has bad taste. Episode 19 is the best episode in anime history. All other anime this year have either been disappointing or mediocre. |

| @Nanashi796 I loved the first 3 seasons so I don't agree with that. I don't read the manga but I did hear about it supposedly declining in quality. I'll just wait for next season |

| It's not dude Episode 19 was not even that Great story-wise It was good , but nothing great , the only great thing was the Art , Idk how the f*ck is got that much attention |

Bread_lover_666 said: Um, far from it. Probably The Promised Neverland, Dr. Stone, or Carole and Tuesday. Other than the animation and Nezuko, there wasn't a lot special about it. Dr Stone :') That poor shonen. Nope but we have Chihayafuru, Blade of the Immortal, Vinland Saga etc.. which are best by far at least if we compare these mangas. |
| It was the 6th best anime that started spring 2019 and aired on saturdays |
| From what i've seen, its fun but no. But i'm pretty far behind at this point (i watched 9 episodes and randomly stopped after that during spring) so idk, might change when i finally decide to pick it up again. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| Definitely not. Kimetsu no Yaiba is very weak story and character wise. Till now, for me, it is between Mob 2, Kaguya and Vinland Saga. Blade of the Immortal can also be a good contender, but I feel that the story in the manga is dragged too long in the middle part so hope that they skim that part. -Aincrad- said: It's funny how some people call Vinland Saga AOTY, when there are only 8 episodes are out and nothing special has happened so far, it's very far from AOTY I guess manga readers are hyping it up Mob Psycho 100 II, SnK 3/2, The Promised Neverland, KnY, Kaguya-sama, Shield Hero these are all way better than Vinland Saga Vinland Saga is going to feel the same until the very end of the season, but man, the end will just blow everything away. The ending of the prologue of Vinland Saga is one of the best things in the whole medium. |

Samoan said: NicOz42 said: you say that as if the show had 6 before episode 19 and went up to 8.63.the show start with 8.5x score and stay like that until episode 19 when he start to go up because the episode was awesome.True. They hype up and the score goes up together. I remember it being 8.2+ before ep 19. If I were to say my opinion, I think the closest anime deserving to be aoty is Vinland Saga. There are also better shows coming next season, like Blade of the Immortal, Beastars, Psycho Pass 3 and Chihayafuru. I'd put Kaguya-sama, Dororo, AOT S3 Part 2, Mob Psycho 2, Fruits Basket, and TPN above KnY. Both BnHA and KnY are toe2toe with each other when it comes to standard shounen, just slightly above Fire Force. If we count continuing anime then there's JoJo part 5 and Run with the Wind. |

The only time it had 8.3 score was because of a glitch, which was fixed in an hour. |

| no Not even in top 5 |
 |
| I love Yaba and i think it's a pretty solid shounen with great production values and some good moments ,though people have been going a bit insane with episode 19. but if you asked me to pick with a year that had JOJO and AOT S3 part 2 and a lot of other great shows it'd be hard to say it as the best but that's why i like to do list for different genre's at least then i can narrow it down better lol. |
