It's Shirobako. But yeah, this was a really great year for anime, and I'll have my work cut out for me narrowing the list down to five.

1) Shirobako - I've known for months now that Shirobako was the show to beat this year. I didn't realize how many shows would take a legitimate crack at it, though. Shirobako has characters one cares about, characters one hates and wants to see get smacked with rolled up paper but he gets redeemed holy crap I still can't believe I like Tarou, that one character who was smarmy as gently caress and got what was coming hell yeah, and characters that were very believable as anime makers because they're based on real people in the industry. The individual character arcs were great (well, less so for tire girl) and the emotional catharsis from that one scene at the end you know what I'm talking about is incredible and matched this year only by some of the scenes from Euphonium. It's so, so good, and I'm just rambling so I'm going to stop.  3) One-Punch Man - Good animation, good voice acting, great source material, there was no doubt that this was going to be good. It's good.  4) Non Non Biyori Repeat - So good. So chill. So funky. I want Non Non Biyori always.  5) My Love Story!! - The absolute best fluffy shoujo ever. No drama that's not resolved within 2-3 episodes, Characters communicating to solve their problems, big gorilla protagonist, best best friend ever... this show has it all.  6) Gatchaman Crowds Insight - Really good, but didn't quite do it for me as much as the first season, so it just barely gets edged out of the five. Honorable mentions, any one of which would hit the top 5 in a normal year: * Wakako-zake - Good, and chill, and made me want to eat good food and drink good booze. I want more. * SNAFU s2 - So much payoff. Season 1 was good, but season 2 really took it to another level. I will kill Namtab if there is no season 3. * Working!!! - Good and funny with romantic resolutions! Now I need Lord of the Takanashi. These shows are some variation of my jam, but I've yet to watch more than a handful of episodes of each. I doubt any would crack the top five, but one never knows. * Snow White with the Red Hair * Akatsuki no Yona * Maria the Virgin Witch * Jojo

It was unintentional, but I like that the gifs decrease in size as the rankings go down.

Ranking at all is optional. That said, if ranking affects vote tallying, please count Euphonium as #2 I guess, since until I started writing stuff out I was 100% convinced that Shirobako was #1.

Nice work Lucy, thanks! I think the top 3 were never really in doubt. A fantastic year for anime.

Animes that showed up on both the good and bad lists with more than one mention in each:
Rokka (7 good/11 bad) and Yurikuma (4/9) are hands-down the most controversial of the year, which makes perfect sense.

It's interesting how little the top 10 changed from unweighted to weighted. Only the top 2 switched.

I think it's OK to forget that list.

I don't even remember hearing about YQ that year, and not much since until the chat thread loved it. I'll go ahead and say it here, though, in 2016, in the Best Anime of 2015 thread: Yozakura Quartet was one of the best animes of 2013.
