The best-of-2019/best-of-the-2010s post is finished. I've already started watching new premieres. The first one was Darwin's Game, which, um, well, let's just say for now that anime is gonna anime no matter what year it is.

If you want to see (and hear) a perspective on the last decade of anime that is significantly different from anyone else's, I recommend "The 2010s in Anime Music" at The GLORIO Blog. It covers the highlights, the lowlights, and a few things like this:

The more I listen to this song, the more I fail to understand why I like it because it essentially sounds like a man hyperventilating on helium set to the noise made by a guitar being pushed through a meat grinder. It gets the job done, though.

Just don't read it at work, because there's more NSFW content than just the two videos that are flagged for it.

I don't know if it's the difference in musical styles, or (more likely) that I just don't have the same connexion to the shows, but none of these really affects me the way the themes of the ’80s & ’90s do.
