I considered only the anime that came out that year and excluded the sequels, to prevent shows like naruto, dragon ball and one piece appearing for several consecutive years.

[@vibrantebony]

Yeah that’s fair, but it’d also be fun to see a version that shows literally the most popular anime regardless what year it came out etc, it’s interesting to compare popularity and also kinda funny

[@andrewjackson497]

I got full metal alchemist which I don’t really mind that much it’s just the two next to it look way better to me 😂😂😂

One of the best anime years imo

[@satyamkumar8805]

2016 or probably 18 gives the same feelings

[@enricomassignani]

2013 was a great year too (for me, at least). 2015 was the start of what I dubbed "Isekai hell".

Considering how the second half was I think Akame ga kill would've benefitted from waiting a little longer
