#That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Siime

[madara-fate]

I remember you once made a post a few years ago about your top 3 animes every year since 2010, but it stopped at 2016. Care to finish the list for the decade?

I’ve always thought about doing that actually, so this was good timing. I’d also just like to highlight the following because I noticed that I had failed to make this clear in my original post - This list incorporates solely the TV series versions of anime, so any OVAs or movies will be excluded. That’s rather painful for me to do because a movie like A Silent Voice is not only my joint favourite anime movie of all time, but it would certainly be in my top 3 anime of the decade in general, but alas, this is the rule that I have chosen.

2010:

Special mentions to Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Bakemonogatari, both of which finished airing in 2010, and would have both made the top 3, but they both started airing in 2009 :)

Honourable Mention: Seitokai Yakuindomo

Top 3:

3. Shiki

2. High School of the Dead

1. Nodame Cantabile Finale

2011:

Honourable Mentions: Ano Hana, Haganai: I don’t Have Many Friends, and Shakugan no Shana III.

Also a Disclaimer - I have not watched Hunter X Hunter (2011), I want to but I just haven’t gotten to it yet, but I’m pretty sure it probably would have made my top 3 for the year, or at the very least an honourable mention.

2019:

Another Disclaimer - 2019 was VERY difficult to choose a top 3, probably the hardest choice in the entire decade, so I bolded the other three shows that were this close to making the cut, but just missed out, because I wanted to make it clear that they were far above the other honourable mentions.

Honourable Mentions: Astra Lost in Space, Carole and Tuesday, Cautious Hero, Fruits Basket (2019), Fire Force, The Helpful Fox Senko-san, How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?, Kaguya-sama: Love is War, OreSuki: Are You The Only One Who Loves Me?, The Quintessential Quintuplets, The Rising of the Shield Hero,Teasing Master Takagi-san 2, and Vinland Saga.

Top 3:

3. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

2. The Promised Neverland

1. Attack on Titan Season 3 Part 2

And there you have it, my top 3 animes for each year of the last decade, with some honourable mentions. As you can probably already guess, I’m a huge Attack on Titan fan. It’s my favourite series of the last decade, and my 3rd favourite series overall, behind only Cowboy Bebop (2nd) and Code Geass (1st).
