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. |
I'm not a big fan of Tokyo Ghoul. It will be the first thing that's being dropped from the ranking. It's only there because it's technically a good anime, if only for the creative visuals alone.
I love Nanatsu no Taizai as well but that's a 2014 anime so it's not on the list.
Didn't you watch Junketsu no Maria? It's definitely my anime of the year and the only one that got my coveted 10/10 rating of the more than 100 animes I've watched this year. It's the most mature anime I've ever seen. They tackle sexuality, politics, religion and actual realistic society and warfare of the middle ages in such an honest way without being cheesy. It's a blast to watch.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
