Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. It's fine, but it's a show with A++ animation and a C+ story. I was also not thrilled about how it stuffed its female lead in a box for 95% of the show despite her being the indisputably strongest fighter. (And when she wasn't in the box she was unconscious) As for my favorite of the year, hmm, there was a lot I loved but no show that rose above the rest for me. Mob season 2 was excellent, I loved the Fruits Basket remake, Ascendance of a Bookworm wormed its way into my heart. Dr. Stone is fun, and Attack on Titan is always solid. Vinland Saga is probably the one that'll stand the test of time though. The biggest disappointment though was definitely Fire Force. It had all the ingredients of a smash hit, but it could never quite pull its characters and story together enough to get most people invested. Pity, because those firefighter outfits were ripe for casual cosplay. |

Galactic Mermaid is truly a song for our times. Its sentiments can be applied in so many different situations, all those times you feel the most appropriate response is to sing that song at the top of your voice.
A work of genius. |

Everyone knows the best moment of the year was the five minutes of collective shock and disbelief everyone experienced when it turned out that W'z was not a stand-alone show, but a f*cking sequel to the infamous Hand Shakers.

I think Steve Jones may be my favorite reviewer here now.
 We agreed on 3 out of 5 of the top series (and I sure wasn't expecting Kemurikusa to be one of them), and if Stars Align had been finished, it would've been 4 out of 5, but I couldn't clear that hurdle yet.
I'm also in a toss-up between his choice for Best Moment from Given and the sublime koto performance our kids gave at the qualifying round in episode 25 of Kono Oto Tomare!. Enjoy the OST version. It's slightly different from the tv version (which I prefer), but without any voice overs. |

“No, it can’t be... Holy crap, they’re really doing it! Why?!” I won’t forget the terrible realization that I got duped into watching the first episode of a sequel to Hand Shakers anytime soon, but my favorite moment of 2019 was the end of Carole & Tuesday episode 16. Carole singing “Give You the World” while her idol Flora watched from the audience was tremendous. |

... except an encounter between Emilia and Megumin, with Takahashi Rie doing both voices alternately in real time. Comedy gold, lying on the ADR booth floor. I hold on to hope for the second season. |

I mean no matter how you look at it there were better written shows this year. Demon Slayer is a by the book shonen with a basic premise and mostly predictable plot and great visuals, nothing wrong with that though. However Mob Psycho S2 had even crazier production values, episode 5 and 11 easily beat episode 19 of Demon Slayer. (and before you say anything go to sakugabooru, compare the entries of both shows and prove yourself wrong, even mundane actions were animated by some of industry's best animators) Yes, Demon Slayer was indeed a phenomenon, but so was DBS, so I don't think you should take that into account. But to each their own. |
