It'd help if you told us what you did watch when asking for recommendations <_<

Astra is non-sequel AotY in my book, though.

Feel free to give me any recommendations from the year though just in case I get motivated to watch more stuff over my vacation or something.


Heaven's Feel 2 and Titan S4 are the two things I gave 10s to this year.

Demon Girl Next Door and Neverland were my favorite non-sequels.

Hitoribocchi had the best characters.

I didn't like a lot this year, sadly. Even Astra got a 4 from me.

Here is a list of the new shows I watched

The Promised Neverland
Rising of the Shield Hero
Kaguya-Sama
The Quintessential Quintuplets
We Never Learn
Senryu Girl
O Maidens
Demon Slayer

Technically I also watched (and subsequently dropped) 1 episode of the MILF isekai show and 2 episodes of Ao-Chan Can't Study. I didn't include those in the original total because of how fast I stopped watching the shows.

I wasn't counting movies but yes Heaven's Feel 2 was absolutely fantastic.

You can always catch the FGO anime, it's clearly separate in story from other Fate properties.

Tbh I've seen even less anime than last year, but just tuning up for AOTD.
So I might binge one or two shows before the end, but I feel Kaguya's gonna win a lot of things in my book and deservedly so if it does.

Kaguya was great, but the only place it really shined on its own merits (as opposed to the manga it was adapting) was the utterly fantastic voice work imo

I'm watching it now (six episodes in) and Senku probably has a lock on my #1 male character. The show's so good when he's around.

The rest of the characters haven't impressed quite as much, unfortunately. Also why is Yuzuriha's design so terrible? Her tiny mouth makes her look like a monkey...

Dr Stone is cool if you like science

What if I don't like shounen? That is why I avoided the show so far but I don't really know if it's a typical shounen or not.

I've heard it gets shounen'd up a bit later, but the first 6 eps feel different enough so far. Maybe the whole first season stays relatively this way?

I mean, you watched Demon Slayer, and that's WAY more shounen than this is, lol.

I mean, it's not a BATTLE shounen. It has a lot of shounen vibes with the characters and stuff, but the plot is mostly about recreating scientific achievements in a world without technology.

I'm gonna be sad when I just wanna vote for Beastars in everything but can't and then I'm sure it'll get overshadowed next year because it'll be coming from Winter 2020, thanks Netflix

I should probably get around to Demon Slayer at some point

So uh, I got around to Demon Slayer

Honestly probably my biggest takeaway from it is that Muzan is a strong main villain so far. And Tanjiro is a pure cinnamon roll boy. Zenitsu mostly got on my nerves although it seems he might be getting better with the last episode, and I kind of expected more out of Inosuke from all the memes and hype I saw him getting. Nezuko is Nezuko, can't really dislike her but I thought she was gonna be more involved with fights than she was. I mean she got some stuff in but still.

Muzan sux IMO. There's the dumb thing where he has evil red glowing eyes and nobody notices, and the part where he kills all of his (personally chosen) lieutenants because they aren't strong enough just makes him look like a dumbass. He really doesn't seem like the type of guy who could survive 1000 years unless the demon slayer organization is ridiculously incompetent (which they are).

I actually dig that, his ruthlessness and intimidation factor is off the charts to me and that makes for a cool villain imo. And doing that goes to show that he really is THAT strong, because otherwise like you said he wouldn't survive 1000 years doing stuff like that UNLESS he had the strength to back it up. So I dunno so far I think he's cool.

My point is that he looks like he's stupid there because he personally choose these guys because he thought they were strong. Their weakness is his failure, and he's freaking out and getting emotional about it anyway.

Technically some of them had different reasons for getting got, like the one dude who asked for his blood and then the other who decided right then to run away. So it was more about general disobedience in his eyes.

I should point that Kuroe, the short black-haired girl voiced by Kana Hanazawa is a completely new character for the anime. Shes not in the game, though they could always add her later.

People speculate that she was added for.....suffering reasons.

Good

Really though, the biggest issue is that pretty much all magical girl designs that aren't part of the original Quintet are going to inherently feel like knockoffs. That's the problem when you introduce a cast of new characters in the same style when the original series had such an iconic look. Like, there's a pink one, but it's not THE pink one. There's a blue one, but it's not THE blue one.

It's not impossible to work out, of course. Sunshine pulled it off. Fingers crossed this and Love Live 3 can.

this fight has also been a good example of Oda basically blitzing through it in the manga and the anime adding the details it was intended to have if Oda was going at his normal pace.

I mean I never checked out the source so I can't comment on it as an adaption but I highly recommend the anime
