Made in Abyss: Golden City of the Scorching Sun beated. Wow, this was one of the greatest anime seasons I've ever seen. I loved S1 and thought the movie was a step down, but this was even better than S1. They introduce a whole bunch of new characters, but the new cast is fantastic and meshes perfectly with the old ones and the Abyss itself. Animation, direction, art, and music are all supreme: this series is ridiculously well-made. I cried a lot in the last few episodes. Real excellent emotional impact. Even on, the show had me yelling "no!" at the screen when bad stuff happened. ;_; Shame it's pretty much caught up with the manga, so it'll be a long time before we get more, but this was still a fantastic experience.

Easily the best anime of the year and I'll be shocked if it's surpassed.
