It's hard to pick a top 10. The top 5 on this list are pretty firmly my favorites but after that there are any number of great shows that could've filled the latter 5 slots.

  1. Redline - This movie showed me that an anime doesn't need a complex plot to be awesome.
  2. LOOK BACK - Really emotional story about two artists.
  3. Kaguya-sama: Love is War - So far this is a perfect adaptation of my favorite romance manga, and my favorite comedy manga. I didn't want to use the term "romcom" simply because I want to emphasize that it excels on both points individually. Here's hoping they continue on to finish the second half of the story.
  4. Gurren Lagann - Much like Redline, this show is just awesome.
  5. Skip and Loafer - Extremely charming story about a girl from the countryside getting accustomed to Tokyo life. Season 2 airs later this year so it's a good time to catch up if you haven't seen it!
  6. Bang Brave Bang Bravern! - Big gay robots.
  7. Legend of the Galactic Heroes - Space opera. The worse modern US politics has gotten the more depressing this show has been to watch.
  8. Gundam Build Fighters - The most charming Gundam show. Unfortunately some of the jokes and references won't land unless you've watched an ungodly amount of not-quite-as-good older Gundam shows.
  9. Eureka Seven - An excellent mech anime held back a little by a slow first several episodes.
  10. Mob Psycho 100 - A story about a boy trying to grow up into the best version of himself he can manage.
