feels awkward looking at all the strong entries that I havent watched yet and cant factor in, but I guess it can't be helped now that we've entered 2018. Here's what I liked a lot last year. 5. Girls' Last Tour I could put GLT in this list for the OP/ED alone. So amazing and wide and :blobmelt: 4. Hina Logi: From Luck & Logic I figured it was going to be a cute and silly show with a strong showing from Studio Doga Kobo, but man it really sold me on the main char's lovable dad who enters the show while riding a cruise missile in full power armor, who is the king of a country he created to keep his daughter safe. Amazing show where the next-episode previews are the school's teachers going out to the bar for drinks and the protagonist shares a new year's kiss with the girl she likes and confesses to her on valentine's day, both in the same episode. 3. Gabriel Dropout Another CGDCT show on Space Flower's list. wow. (lifeless) No but GabeDrop is really good and tons of comedy fun with a slapstick cast of demons and angels that bully and gently caress with each other constantly, yet has some strong down-to-earth moments and tinges of the main character being a big softie at heart, under her crusty dropout exterior. Gabe's soft side is mostly subtext throughout the show that acts as a cushion for the comedy but the second OVA comes out of nowhere and bears juicy cathartic fruit. 2. Kobayashi's Dragon Maid I'm a fan of old perverted Cool-sensei but even I don't know how he keeps getting his stuff animated. I'm used to just going "well I've never heard of this but KyoAni's doing it so I guess it'll be good", but here they took something I'm already invested in and gave it so much energy and love. This story about a bunch of otaku weirdos and dragons finding home and family and friends to belong to is so important to me. 1. Kemono Friends This show is so wonderful and cute. all of the Friends are loveable goofballs with nothing but warmth in their hearts. ahh, nakama Honorable Mentions:  Kino no Tabi 2017 has a lot of retreading and half the new stuff was just silly/fun and the old show's direction created an atmosphere that's hard to live up to. At times I felt the new Kino was able to approach that feeling. It wasn't consistently great but I appreciate it nonetheless. Umaru is real similar to GabeDrop and her friends are great but it's not quite as funny. Made in Abyss is super great, can't wait for s2. I favor the manga in a lot of ways but the show does so much in breathing life into the beautiful setting. The OST is gorgeous as well, I want it March Lion S1: I wish kyouko would randomly climb into my room at night Owarimonogatari S2 was an amazing conclusion to a lot of stories and arcs in the series. I like it as much as my AOTY list entries but I'm giving weight to the shows I looked forward to coming home to every week. Iyashikei came back with a vengeance this year. Everything is so soothing and relaxing and gives me the power to keep going.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:I'm watching this now and it's really good. If it sticks the landing it might replace Katanagatari as my favorite Nisio Isin thing. its a longer running series than the OVA depicts so I'd imagine a lot of their development is reserved for later

I think ova 2 left a stale taste for a lot of people on how Akko had been handled and they thought the early eps were reprising that feeling. Well, basically they thought Akko was a brat... and they’re wrong!!

so is 1. the top spot or what. because in the traditional post format you scroll down as you read so really it should go 5. to 1. to build suspense for the greatest entry
