Feels like there's been more anime than ever, adding up to nearly 200 shows this year. As usual it's been a mess trying to figure out what qualifies for 2015, but in the end I can't do much else than include all the stupid split-cour shows again. This year we've also had anime with titles so long I had to abbreviate the original ones and stick with the English version in a few cases (like DanMachi and Shomin). Probably still going to break some tables. Either way, ctrl-f will be your friend. For the results of yesteryear, see the ADTRWiki.

Had to finish / check out a bunch of shows over Christmas before I felt I'd done my due diligence and can compile an honest top list for this year. 1. Shirobako - In a league of its own, really. It ended before the spring season started, and even so I knew nothing could beat this juggernaut for the rest of the year. If any complaint can be made, it's that the first episode is relatively weak, but then the show managed to rise and rise, ever getting better, until the second half seemed to be jumping from peak to peak in a triumphant dance. Started out incredibly stress inducing, then gradually the ship is righted, and you can enjoy the bubbly bliss of finishing an episode. Particularly loved the voice actress' arc. 2. Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso - Probably? Gorgeous show, both in visuals and music. Some of the piano performance episodes had me in stunned silence. Finished a bit disappointing, but I enjoyed the ride well enough. 3. Hibike! Euphonium - Steeped in some kind of universal nostalgia that I always seem to fall for. Yet another gorgeous show; KyoAni sure know how to use them filters. Can't really go wrong with a classic "sports team" story, either. 4. Prison School - Funniest comedy I've seen in years. Made me even more impressed with the director, who followed up Shirobako with this outrageously smutty comedy without missing a beat. 5. Owarimonogatari - As the biggest fanboy of Nishio alive, I can't make a top list without a Monogatari series. Technically a fairly poor adaptation of one of the best books in the series, followed by a decent adaptation of one of the weaker books, this season of the anime barely held on to my last spot. Still love it to death. I could fill out a top 20 with just honourable mentions, because this year had so many enjoyable shows. It's all up to you now, 2016.

AnacondaHL posted:http://adtrwiki.com/index.php?title=Top_10_Anime_by_Year 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.
