I wrote one of these about 2 days ago for somewhere else, and I'm not sure I still agree with it, but this is all apples-to-oranges nonsense anyway. 5. Kemono Friends: Somehow only the second-best CGI show about post-apocalyptic [something]-people made from weird rocks on this list. (I just checked, and I can still sing the entire penguin song, from memory, in a language I don't speak.) 4. Net-juu no Susume: The sort of romantic drama/comedy that will have you shouting or cringing at the screen, mostly in a good way. It incidentally does this while being the best MMO show since Log Horizon. Should come with a diabetes warning. 3. Made in Abyss: Beautiful, fascinating and brutal; this show feels like a love-letter to curiosity itself, even as it acknowledges the costs. Maybe I wouldn't be as foolhardy as Riko, but if I were in her world, I'd want to know what was down that hole. 2. Owarimonogatari 2 (and the last Kizu- movie if that's allowed): Hard to rank this one as it's kind of standing in for Monogatari as a whole. The ending of this show left me feeling weird for days. If you have any reasonable degree of resistance to the... worse sort of things anime does, watch this near-decade-long series, immediately. 1. Land of The Lustrous: Almost perfect. Beautiful, but in all the ways, Abyss wasn't; washed-out, bleak, agoraphobic. Some of the best action scenes I've ever seen in animation. On a meta-level, this is the first show that really shows that, even if CGI isn't going to replace other forms of animation any time soon, it's no-longer a punchline. Other things that might reasonably have been on this list but arbitrarily were not: Symphogear 4, Konosuba 2, Maidragon, Demi-chan, Girls' Last Tour, Little Witch Academia.
