It's not the end of the year yet, and the votes haven't been tallied, so I'm not too late. 1) Shirobako - No question about it, this is AOTY, and a contender for anime of the decade. I'm having a hard time thinking of any media that has managed to resonate as well with me as this has. Part of it was that I started working last fall, so I saw a ton of my concerns and anxieties reflected in the main cast. To me, that's really what the show was about : young professionals entering the workforce. Going past that, it manages to feature a very large ensemble cast, and manages to give everyone time in the spotlight. I cried at the end, you know which scene. 2) Sound! Euphonium - The best show Kyoani has made since Hyouka. Fantastically animated as always, this show is gorgeous. I played in my high school band, but we never did any competitions. Still, this brought back memories of how hard it was to learn and practice, especially just drilling difficult sections. This is a good high school drama. 3) School-Live - This took a potentially disastorous premise, and made it work really well. The weird juxtaposition of the zombie apocalypse and moe antics worked out far better than I would have expected. Some of the reveals were predictable, but others worked really well. The tension really got to me, and I never skipped the OP. 4) Non Non Biyori Repeat (s2) - If you only watch one cute SOL show from this year, this is the one to watch. Whoever said that this was the best healing anime since Aria gets it. 5) Working!!! (s3) - It's Working!, but with relationship development. If you haven't yet, there's a double episode that was released a few days ago that finishes up the season. Honourable Mentions Akagami no Shirayukihime (Snow White with the Red Hair) - I think this might have broken the top 5 if they hadn't forgotten Shirayuki's motivation to become a good herbalist in the second half of the show. Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] s2 - On a different day, this might have beaten out Working!!!. I like how the story progresses, though there are some points that are relentlessly drilled into the audience. The fights are incredibly pretty. My Love Story!! - Suna is the best bro For the requisite cute girls doing cute things SOL anime: Koufuku Graffiti - The first anime of 2015 that made me hungry Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka?? Hello!! Kin-iro Mosaic YuruYuri SP+s3 Wakakozake - The second anime of 2015 that made me hungry, the first that made me cook
