im excited to See the Results!!gmq posted:March Comes in Like a Lion S1: The sister killed the show for me. Up to that point the show had been good, the relationship with the sisters was amazing... but from the moment his sister appeared my interest lowered by the second until it died. It felt like unnecessary drama.

Kyouko's relationship with Rei is pretty important, it's not at at all unnecessary. The story does a very good job of not mincing words with her actions/personality but also showing that in the end they absolutely still do have a sibling bond that (we can only hope) helps both of them get stronger. It's just a rocky road to get to that point.

1st place has a landslide victory, but the remaining voters can still shake up the 2nd through 13th(!!) places

Made in Abyss: Beautiful art, solid writing (mostly), gorgeous music, excellent direction, and a really interesting setting. Pretty much everything it needs to be my favorite show of the year. Oh, and it has scene that made me so physically uncomfortable I actually found it somewhat hard to watch on my first viewing, which is extremely rare for me. Little Witch Academia: It's so refreshing to watch an anime that's actually just pure and wholesome the whole way through, while also being exciting and emotional from time to time. I'm actually a bit surprised at how lukewarm the general reception seems to be to this series, since I personally love it. It does have some small pacing and focus issues, but I barely even remember the problems when thinking back on it. Blood Blockade Battlefront/Kekkai Sensen & Beyond: Finally, we get to enjoy the wonderful setting and characters without the kind of not great White and Black story from the first season. I really like the episodic character stories in this one, and I found the two-parter finale to be really satisfying. I need more. Konosuba Season 2: Still a really funny show that also happens to be about 20-30% ecchi trash, depending on the episode. My Hero Academia Season 2: Just a super solid shonen action series that I will continue to watch/read until it one day shits the bed and becomes an artificially prolonged zombified husk of what it once was. Which I hope never happens. Way too many drat flashbacks, though.

My lazy top 5. 1. Konosuba S2 2. Magical Circle Guru Guru 3. Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju 4. Recovery of an MMO Junkie 5. Knight's and Magic Really can't add much more to the top 4. I'm most surprised by how Knight's and Magic stayed in my memories. It's by the numbers but it was very well done, visually nice, and I appreciated the narrator saying ''Months passed, stuff happened, story continues..." instead of adding filler junk.

ACCA: 13 Territory Inspection Department: Really good, lowkey anime with a solid plot and characters. The adaptation really made the art style shine and stand out. Blood Blockade Battlefront & Beyond: Although it felt kinda like a midquel wrapping up characters S1 had no time to cover I really enjoyed the majority of the self-contained little stories. I hope to see the anime continue now that the wide cast is properly introduced to the non-manga audience Little Witch Academia: I liked it a bit better when it was a slice of life about a huge loser sucking at magic and her cool friends but it was enjoyable all the way through.

Metadata: - 116 voters, 537 votes - 69 of the 205 different series got Top5 votes  The Best Anime of 2017: 1. Land of the Lustrous - 42 Woooo yea ok we all saw that from a mile away, let's move on to the more interesting results: The Gauntlet: 2. KonoSuba 2 - 32 T-3. March Comes In Like A Lion S1 - 28 T-3. Little Witch Academia - 28 T-5. ACCA: 13 Territory Inspection Department - 27 T-5. Made in Abyss - 27 7. Girls' Last Tour - 26 What a bloodbath! But the KonoSuba faithful came through with a late push that cemented them in 2nd place. All of these places shifted through the last day of voting. The Special Mention: 8. Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju: Sukeroku Futatabi-hen - 24 Just a little less voting oomph than the group above, but a solid showing for this second season. Just Made the Cut: 9. Recovery of an MMO Junkie - 22 10. My Hero Academia Season 2 - 21 The Snubs: 11. Kobayashi's Dragon Maid - 20 12. Princess Principal - 19 13. Kemono Friends - 18 This entire section of results also flip-flopped until the end, what a great year for anime. In other words:  More Data: As always, spreadsheet is open to viewing: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Y8yxmgercB2wTKG09jE04-121Irs8ByuCgv8bMR3QQ0 - Full list of results are on the FinalScores sheet along with other metrics such as what the results would look like if we weighted votes. - Raw vote tallies are on the RawData sheet, i.e. how I interpreted all of your posts and words into numbers. - And the voting visualizations are again on in the AdvancedAnal sheet, for example: March Comes In Like A Lion S1 (Avg: 4.143) 11111111111111 2222222 3333 444 vs Land of the Lustrous (Avg: 3.860) 11111111111111111111 22222222 33333333 444 5555 vs Girls' Last Tour (Avg: 3.500) 11111 2222222222 3333333 4 555 vs KonoSuba 2 (Avg: 3.344) 1111111 22222222 33333333 4444444 55 etc.

gently caress, I fell asleep. Well, I'll post my list anyways  Curse work and other obligations preventing me from watching more anime!  5. March comes in like a lion Full disclaimer, I have not finished this show yet, but from what i have seen of the first few episodes it's absolutely deserving of a spot, and woukd be criminal to ignore it otherwise. The direction in the first episode was superb, the art was gorgeous, and it just oozes with style. From what I've heard about the manga, the character arcs and drama are also very well executed, which would be more than enough to make a top list, easily. 4. KonoSuba 2 Easily my comedy of the year. I've heard complaints about how this was just rereading the first season, especially complaints about overdone jokes, and I could not disagree more. This season actually improves on the roles of characters like Megumin and Darkness, whom were mostly one note punchlines in the first season, to more expansive characters who contribute more to the comedy this season by participating in many jokes beyond their "gimmick". Lots of great dialog, voice acting, facial expressions, and badass moments, especially in the finale. I can't wait for a season 3 someday. 3. Girls' Last Tour As many others have pointed out, it's kind of hilarious that this wound up being a better Kino's Journey that the same season's Kino's Journey adaptation. But in all honesty, I think this is better than the original Kino's Journey too. While it has a similar feel in certain aspects with the characters' curiosities, this show really explores some unique places, both familar and alien to the viewers. This shiw is at both times heartwarming and extremely depressing. The show hit a kind of lull in the middle, but the last couple of episodes shot it back up. Also has my ED of the year. 2. Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju: Sukeroku Futatabi-hen A great continuation of the first season, which neatly resolves the conflicts established in the first season and completes our character arcs, whike still exploring strong themes of the first season such as preservation versus adaptation. However, I do feel it is the weaker of the two seasons, both with regards to the drama and the rakugo preformances, with the character acting and dialogue of the first season being much more muted this time, especially since there was less time to show the growth of certain characters as rakugo preformers. and it was enough weakness that it slid down to the #2 spot. Leaving... 1. Land of the Lustrous This show will have ramifications going forward, on how cg is incorporated into animation. Not only is the cg properly used to accentuate features that would be hard to do with traditional animation (flowing grass, moving hair, sparkles), it is properly combined with traditional animation to make some gorgeous, breathtaking scenes. The voice acting and character movements lead to a lot of fun gags that are enjoyable to rewatch over and over, and makes it easy to relate and connect to these characters. A great cast, so good it's hard to pin down any favorites for me. The ost is simply incredible. And perhaps most importantly, the character writing and arcs are poignant-you can strongly feel for Phos, Cinnibar, and Dia's struggles, as the show deals with some serious themes around self-worth, self-loathing, purpose and identity, trust, and changing oneself. These connected personally with me in a way that hit me heavily, and it'd be the most emotional a show made me this year. My only real gripe with the show is the last episode kind of running around in circles, trying to make an ending that bookends with the beginning of the season, which not only leaves the episode spinning its wheel in places, but leaves several arcs unresolved, though it does the best with the source material presented and does indicate where those arcs are going to lead. Also an honorable mention to ACCA: 13 Territory Inspection Department which had a lot of style, a great story that drew me in to watch more, and fun characters all around, but got bumped from the list due to some weaker writing towards the end .

TMS got snubbed the most, they had like seven shows this year and only Ninja Girl got any votes, though Laughing Salesman got mentioned a couple of times. Shoutout to Toei Animation, which managed to get 3 shows on the list with a total of 3 votes. They also managed to make the show ADTRW voted the worst this year, Kado, while they were at it. So they were really firing on all cylinders. JC Staff had like 3 shows that got multiple mentions but no actual votes, including Alice & Zouroku, a show with 5 mentions and no votes, which I'm pretty sure makes it the most almost-but-not-quite voted for. Which probably merits some kind of prize. Unlike last year, a studio had multiple shows in the top ten. Let's give a big round of applause to Deen, for bringing us KonoSuba and Rakugou this year. And also Hozuki, I guess? David Production made ADTRW's second best anime last year and got a single vote this year.
