1.) Land of the Lustrous - This is the best series of the year, no question. One of those incredibly rare series where I can't really pick out a single real flaw, and it's just so very gorgeous. Phosphophyllite is protagonist of the decade. I'm looking forward to that season 2 that I desperately hope will exist. 2.) Little Witch Academia - Trigger's best project so far by a pretty wide margin, imo. I personally liked the second half more than the first, but I totally agree that the plot got a bit herky-jerky later on. Incredibly strong final episode, though 3.) Made in Abyss - Made in Abyss makes me profoundly uncomfortable for a huge number of reasons, but it's just good enough to pull ahead past those things anyway. Riko, Reg, and Nanachi are wonderful characters, the worldbuilding is absolutely top-notch and it's full of heartstring-pulling emotional moments. It's also really gross for a lot of reasons, both for the good kind of gross and the really bad kind of gross, but that's more me looking ahead at the upcoming second season than the first, so I guess I can't mark it against the first season here. I didn't actually watch a tremendous amount of things this year, so I guess I'll just toss out two other series I finished. I liked Demi-Chan/Interviews with Monster Girls enough to finish it, it's pretty funny. And Restaurant from Another World was just intensely relaxing to watch. Ancient Magus Bride would be on this list but I have some pretty significant problems with its directing.
