I can't believe we somehow got two Yuasa movies in one month. Can we do this every month from now on?

The good start to this year with Rakugo/March Lion S1/ACCA has still not been topped. Probably leaning towards Rakugo though March Lion S2 is going to be up there with it.

What has been funnier than KonoSuba's 2nd Season and Mahojin GuruGuru?

Kakegurui had strong faces and it was an overall fun ride, but it had a wet fart of an ending.

My heart tells me Symphogear, but it didn't stick the landing.

Ed: Mahoujin GuruGuru is hilarious as well and might just top Konosuba if it nails the last couple

I'm totally down for a Second Serving of Made in Abyss.

e: Srice, I actually read the Novel and didn't find to be all that. Is the movie that much of an improvement over the book?

Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju S2, Guru Guru, Princess Principal, Land of the Lustrous, Girls' Last Tour, and a ton of other shows this year rule this was a good year for anime.

The novel isn't available in English so I can't say, but from what I saw from the fan translation of the Tatami Galaxy novel compared to the anime it definitely seemed like the animation added a lot to it.

I don't have a whole list in front of me, but it's def March Lion for me for #1 and I've barely even watched Season 2. Magus Bride is prob up there too but that will only be halfway done by the time 2017 is done so that'll be on my list next year.

I want to finish up Made In Abyss this year too, I was at like Episode 5 which seems to be where it really gets going

OK, I'll give it a look. I did enjoy the Tatami Galaxy, so if it's more of/similar to that, then I'm totally game.

s2 is really good though there's just so much really good stuff this year i don't think i can personally fit it in there. land of the lustrous, made in abyss, girls' last tour, guru guru and lwa... there's a lot to pack

The year was just loving awesome.

I think a lot of people missed out on Little Witch Academia because Netflix gonna Netflix but I honestly think that it's the best goddamn anime of the year, which is no mean feat taking into account just how much GREAT anime we got this year.

Man, ACCA and Maidragon were this year? It's been a long and packed one. I'm behind on Girls' Last Tour and Houseki, but it might be hard for them to top ACCA for me. Maybe someday I will watch LWA, but Netflix.

if you don't wanna use netflix then really good fansubs have been available for months, just if you've ever planned on watching lwa there have been multiple ways to do it for a while now

These are my magic words.

Don't steal them.
LWA was super super good, but also this year has had a ton of extremely good series

But I think the thing I've been most excited to watch every week and also 100% super satisfied with every episode has been Land of the Lustrous/Houseki no Kuni, so that's my choice, myself.

My favorite so far this year is Made in Abyss but there is a lot of stiff competition, this season Houseki no Kuni, Mahousukai no Yome and Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou are my favorites. Maid Dragon and My Hero Academia S2 are also up there from earlier this year. I also need to finish my backlog with some shows that I missed like Princess Principal.

princess principal is definitely aoty for me but there was so much other absolutely superb series this year, with girls last tour, tanya the evil, land of the lustrous and made in abyss rounding out my top 5. all of them are classics

biggest let down of a series for me was rage of bahamut

My top 3'll probably shake out as some combination of New Game!!, Maidragon, and Girls' Last Tour, with Abyss and PriPri battling it out for fourth. Been lots of good stuff though. Got fond memories of LWA, GabDro, WorldEnd, Magus Bride...drat good year.
