There's a new law stating that the number 45 is the new number 1 and vice versa. Congrats to KF for being the top series in 2017. Cool

Pretty nice list. MHA should be #1, but top 10 is decent enough. Happy to see Hitorijime my hero and Super lovers get some recognition! They were both some of my personal favorites this year.

Made in Abyss and Princess Principal don't rank, but Vatican Miracle Examiners and Super Lovers do? These fujoshi really are rotten.

It's always interesting to see different tastes. I'd pretty much forgotten half of these even aired this year.

I'm sad Juni Taisen didn't rank one place higher, just because that would have been amusing.

And though I personally liked Super Lovers, I'm actually pretty shocked it made the list at all.

Eromanga Sensei ranked but Made in Abyss didn't? Evil or Very Mad

I'm glad to see some good yet often overlooked shows like Saiyuki Reload Blast and ACCA getting attention. I'll throw in Vatican Miracle Examiner too, I found that show hilarious even after the most infamous episode! (... VME was meant to be a comedy, right? Laughing It was enjoyable at least, albeit in a way I imagine was completely unintended.)

... although the lack of Made in Abyss and Rakugo s2 is disappointing.

So mostly females voted for eromanga sensei to place number 12? And I'm honestly surprised to see kemono friends at 45 since it was apparently very big in Japan.

Not having Made in Abyss at least in the top 3 for 2017 invalidates any list. My top 10 so far is:

1. Attack on Titan 2
2. Made in Abyss
3. The Ancient Magus' Bride
4. Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju 2
5. Girls' Last Tour
6. March Comes in Like a Lion 2
7. Scum's Wish
8. Princess Principal
9. Sakura Quest
10. Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid

Even though the second season of Attack on Titan is the best cour of anime I have watched this year, I consider Made in Abyss my real number 1 for 2017 because it is a new show with no prior seasons. Basically I would not consider a sequel/prequel/spin off of a previews released series my official best anime show of a year.

^ I would say it hasn't been running long enough so that can't be help but since Ancient Magus Bride cracked in at number 6 that arguments is now invalid. I doubt it will chart next year either.

No Sakura Quest? SMH. I am not going for a Top 10. However, the worst series for me was probably Hand Shakers.

My top 10 for this which might be the strongest year for anime ever:

1. Made in Abyss (anime of the decade)
2. Kobayashi's Dragon Maid
3. Boku no Hero Academia 2nd season
4. Little Witch Academia
5. Saga of Tanya the Evil
6. Girls Last Tour
7. Inuyashiki
8. Princess Principal
9. Mahoujin Guru Guru
10. Recovery of a MMO Junkie

I don't know why but I think this year is stronger than the last several years at least. Considering the huge amount of good stuff made as I had difficulty is making this top 10.
