| vivster said: I've compiled my preliminary AOTY Top 10s before Fall. New Animes: Junketsu no Maria Gakkou Gurashi Hibike Euphonium Death Parade Wakaba Girl Sore ga Seiyuu Shirayuki Shokugeki no Souma Mikagura Gakuen Rolling Girls Sequels: Gatchaman Non Non Biyori Milky Holmes Working Symphogear Nisekoi Danna ga Fate Kaleid Miss Monochrome Tokyo Ghoul Those are probably gonna change significantly after Fall. So much potential in the current season. |
I'm surprised to see Tokyo Ghoul in there. The second season was seriously underwhelming in so many ways. It was obvious to someone like me who hasn't read the source material that they went completely off the rails doing their own thing. It was a massive disappointment. Hell, even season one wasn't great. It was eleven episodes of build up with a super rushed climax in the last episode that wasn't nearly as satisfying as I hoped it would be.
Overall, Tokyo Ghoul is really more of a 7.2/10 or so, while individually, season one is more of a 7.8, while season two is more of a 6.5.
Otherwise my AOTY is probably going to remain Shokugeki no Souma. God damn did that one grab me by surprise, and I adored it. One Punch Man is glorious in its own way, but knowing it's only twelve episodes at the moment makes me feel like it will be held back from true greatness. Honorable mentions go to Death Parade, Nanatsu no Taizai, and Gakkou Gurashi for really bringing it in their own ways to make for some stellar stories and presentation.
