I'm the lead trumpet player, playing loud and high is all I know how to do.

I didn't forget about Parasyte, but... 2015 was stacked. That said, this is also the first year I noticed another poster with the same 5 series as me, albeit in a different order.

5. Concrete Revolutio - Simple yet complex.

4. One Punch Man - Powerful yet Ok.

3. Ore Monogatari - Sweet yet sweeter.

2. Sound! Euphonium - Dramatic yet goofy.

1. Shirobako - Rarely does a show come along and do something so different/well/unique that it gets me to change my perception of anime as a whole. In the past 20 years: Eva, Bebop, FMA, Haruhi, Geass, TTGL, and now Shirobako. Seems odd to list this show with the others, but it does. This anime was so good, it helped me enjoy other completely unrelated anime.

I will never understand the insane popularity of Devil is a Part-Timer that was expressed in this forum

It was expected to be bad, but turned out pretty good, making it feel like it was extremely good.

Alternative answer: acceptable baps in the Zorak era

Feels like I screwed up 2009 in hindsight. Would it be possible to redo a proper 2009 vote now? It could finally give Haruhi s2 the recognition it deserves.

This sound like it could be amazing or a trainwreck. Fire it up.

Notice the lack of Gatchaman Crowds on that list. I think folks were more likely to put something easy to like but not that exciting over something interesting. Also:

Not that I would have put it in my 2013 Top 5 anyways, but IIRC Gatchaman Crowds lost a bunch of votes due solely to Utsutsu's costume design.

I laughed at the sheer audacity of starting a show that way, but holy poo poo a lot of people just HATED that.

This and Same, especially since it came with the whiplash of being all :wtc: at seeing the Opening sequence for the first time
