Naturally, our choices will be influenced by our own tastes, experiences, and personal impressions.
This list shouldn’t be taken as some kind of inviolable truth, but rather the opinions of three chaps who had too much time on their hands and spent it conjuring up a list of picks based on all the anime they watched. What’s best for us isn’t necessarily best for you, and that’s perfectly fine. Please keep in mind that “best” is subjective. Without further ado, let’s get started!ĭisclaimer: As always, disclaimers abound. And we’ll welcome four new entries: ‘Betrayal’ being a reference to the online community meme, ‘Isekai’ and ‘Supernatural’ as their own separate categories from fantasy in recognition of their standalone popularity and noticeable differences from traditional fantasy, as well as ‘Greatest Trainwreck’ – which distinguishes itself from disappointment by being a hotly anticipated mess of epic proportions. And added back to this year’s post are the Studio, Plot Twist, Mystery, Sport, Underappreciated, and Exceeded Expectations categories. Though in the outro, I’ve attempted to explain the reasoning behind their removal.

So please feel free to be brutally honest while giving us constructive feedback.Ĭontinuing from last year, there are numerous categories in the following areas: Production, Miscellaneous, Genre, and Notable Others. This is a first for us and we’ll inevitably get things wrong.
We didn’t quite manage 100+ shows this year, but we heavily focused on watching entries that made a serious clamour within the anime community. That would be me ( Zaiden), Choya and Pancakes. Now that 2019 is officially over, it’s time for our annual foray into annoying everyone with our questionable opinions, the Best of Anime 2019 post! Unlike last year, and serving as a throwback to previous iterations, this will consist of a collaboration between writers.
