Preparing the best anime of the decade was such a big task that I had to push back the best anime of the year, my bad! Still, it's never too late to name your Anime of the Year.
Every season brought their own A-game in 2019, presenting climactic sequels, stunning originals, and everything in-between. Many shows have already entered the top lists of score and popularity, yet the year has barely gone by. As such, you'll find an almost equal amount of anime from every season in our picks.
This is just a casual list by staff members with various writing abilities, so I hope you'll get to know them just a little better through their favourite anime of 2019!
Code Geass: Fukkatsu No Lelouch
Horror and anime go together like a peanut butter & salsa sandwich. Needless to say, it gets your attention but just like you expected, ends up being a terrible mistake making you wonder why you even thought trying it out was a good idea in the first place. Previous attempts in the genre have always been plagued with the overuse of disturbing imagery in the place of what could even be called a palatable story.
Was a great switch up from this formula that has plagued horror anime for the past while. Instead of focusing on over the top death scenes and cheap scares,
Went back to what made horror so damn enjoyable in the first place: it explored a genuinely terrifying concept. As a fan of horror, it was refreshing to finally watch a genuine horror story in anime. Even better, a genuinely GOOD horror story.
Fruits Basket: The Final (fruits Basket: The Final Season)
May not be the best anime this year in terms of production quality, but it breathed life into a favorite genre of mine that I considered long dead in the medium of anime. Because of this, it stands out above the rest this year making it my AOTY.
The first season was the biggest pleasant surprise I've ever had while watching anime. It is the perfect mix of bad-ass moments as well as comedic relief. The second season continued on perfectly and it left me very satisfied. The art style grew on me and I really enjoy it now. Something that pulls me in so much is the uncertainty of how strong Mob truly is. This mystery is something that really gets me excited in anime and I hope we get to see more of our boi Mob.
If you're an action fan/junkie then you will love this. I'd describe it as exaggerated martial arts, where each character is seen as having different unique superhuman powers. The CGI might take some time to adapt to, however, if you can bypass that then the action that is packed into this show will provide you with more than enough entertainment.
Shows To Watch (and Not Watch) In Spring 2019
Though the cast of characters is huge, it was still very enjoyable watching all the fights that did not contain the main protagonist. This is because they managed to make each character seem very strong and you're left on the edge of your seat questioning whether they have any more trump cards up their sleeves during a fight. Might just be me, but I find the addition of these sneaky abilities to be the best thing you could do in an action sequence.
Definitely steals the number one spot as AOTY. First of all, audio-visually is top-notch. It's been a long time since I encountered an anime with such strong OST. Animation-wise... well, it's made by ufotable and my favorite studio delivered once again. Story-wise, it's nothing we haven't seen before. But KnY's strongest point is the character development. Every character that enters the show has a unique personality and something to give. You will learn the story of each individual and you are bound to bond with at least one of them. Seriously, if you haven't watched Kimetsu no Yaiba, give it a try. You won't be disappointed.
To be on many people's radars, as it is a fairly low-budget anime that heavily relies on CGI for all of its characters. I picked this up because of the seemingly post-apocalyptic setting, and while the show is not very complicated at all, it ended up telling a story that stuck with me for a while. Yes, its animations are quite basic and there's not too much going on besides the main storyline—but it makes up for it with charm. If you're in the mood for a palate cleanser among the sea of comedy and action anime (Don't get me wrong. I loved
In Numbers: The Best And Worst Anime Of Fall 2019
Has been my absolute favorite anime of the year. Boy’s love isn’t often adapted well and most anime in that genre tend to be more fanservice than anything else.
Isn’t following the tropes and is just an amazing love story, plain and simple. The characters and their backstories are so well written and while there is an edgy side to it, it’s not over the top. The music is so good too! They really didn’t have to put so much effort into the songs, but they did and that made the series so much better. There is one scene I’ve been rewatching months after the show was over and that’s not something I usually do. That’s just how amazing and intense that scene was for me! If you’ve watched the anime, you know which one I’m talking about. For making me cry like a baby, love these silly characters and listen to a song over and over again:
. He has a real knack for creating solid adventures that mix in the perfect amount of intrigue and mystery to keep you wanting more after every single episode. The world is immersive, the characters are all appealing, and even the economical CG holds up surprisingly well given the stronger emphasis on action. I've never been one to follow anime staff, but now I'm hotly anticipating whatever they come up with next.
Kimetsu No Yaiba (demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba)
While I haven't seen very many shows that aired in 2019, I want to take a moment to highlight this hidden gem. I've always been a sucker for anime about high school clubs, so when I saw
I knew I had to give it a try. The first few minutes were rocky, with flashbacks from the two main male leads set to the tune of a kitschy music box. My enthusiasm began to drop even further as I sat through the close-up shots of each of the koto club's members running towards a rosy sunset during the run-of-the-mill J-pop opening animation.
Is one of those shows with a strong, fleshed-out cast. Each character's strengths are highlighted, and their backstories lend even more significance to their growth throughout both the first and second seasons. Out of the seven Tokise High School koto club members, I'd say that only Mittsu's growth is glossed over, which is actually pretty impressive given the not-so-small cast of main characters. The characters all had such unusual reasons for joining the club, but they were able to overcome their differences through their shared love and appreciation of the koto.

It's clear that the koto is the main star of the show, and its appeal is brought out by the art and the music. While the art during most scenes is pretty average at best, the scenes where the club is together practicing in their clubroom or performing on stage stand out from the crowd. The koto music is definitely one of the strongest points of this anime. I honestly don't know very much about koto music, but it was relaxing to listen to and I really enjoyed the variety of songs that were performed in both seasons.
Definitely wasn't the best anime of the year for me objectively speaking, but the beautiful koto music and the enthusiasm of the club members really resonated with me in a way that other 2019 anime didn't (pun intended).
I didn't really start watching the original until the remake was starting. Though I'd have to say, for me, this is probably the best reboot since FMA:B. I'll definitely be looking forward to seasons two and three of the remake. I fell in love with the series thanks to its reboot.
Was A Blast. These Are Animes That I Rated 9 Or 10 In Mal.
Was certainly the anime I looked forward to most this year, the joy of the series lies deeper into the story for me (what the anime has yet to adapt). Considering this, I chose
Caught me from the beginning with its stylized opening, pompous narrator, and character-driven comedy. The competitive nature and pure naïvety of its two main characters make for a curious chemistry between them. Both are ridiculously confident in their knowledge of the other's psychology, while being so poor at handling social situations, all they can do is fumble. The result is simultaneously hilarious and heart-warming. A rare viewer of seasonal anime, I picked up the series solely for Makoto Furukawa's main casting as Shirogane—an excellent role for him. Shirogane's varied emotions and exaggerated reactions showcase the full range of Furukawa's voice much better than reserved personas he's often cast as. Paired with Aoi Koga's expressive acting, their dynamic really brought the characters
