5. Heike Monogatari: A lovely adaptation of a piece of classic Japanese literature, with a lot of director Yamada's signature hallmarks. 4. Bishounen Tanteidan (Pretty Boys Detective Club): In many ways this feels like a dollar store discount version of a season of Monogatari, which makes sense given it is also written by Nisio Isin, directed by Akiyuki Shimbo, and animated at Shaft. And while it may not have been as compelling as the Monogatari series, it still has it's own unique blend of charm. Plotwise I really did enjoy the first and last arcs of the show, but felt the middle arcs were somewhat lacking. Thankfully Shimbo and Shaft brought their A-game in making the show visually gorgeous and varying up the styles across various scenes so that you were never bored during that journey, and it did payoff in the end. 3. Sonny Boy: Probably the most confusing show from last year, I think the show works well as a metaphor for growing up into adulthood and deciding both what "worlds" we create in front of us, and how to live in the "worlds" that we cannot change. It's probably not something that everyone can enjoy, but if you want a more ambiguous anime to really just ponder on and think about for a while, this is a good one. 2. Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight Movie: The followup to the TV series of the same name from a few years ago. And while it might not have a huge depth to its themes, it more than makes up for it with the sheer spectacle of the whole thing, with even more high budget, complex choreographed musical fight scenes between our characters. It does a good job of filling in some of the gaps the show left us hanging on. Definitely watch it if you enjoyed the show. 1. Odd Taxi: This is the stereotypical answer at this point, but for good reason. It's an ambitious original anime that does a lot of unique things for am anime, that really lends to it standing out, not just this year, but among all anime. And it's all tied together with a solid story, interesting characters, and a lot of conversations with more naturalistic dialogue than your typical anime. It's definitely going to be one of those shows that you see people mentioning offhandedly for years to come.

It's almost like Arcane isn't an anime.
