2018 in anime
Jan. 13th, 2019 09:37 amMy top sf anime of 2018 and other thoughts are here. There really was no competition once Megalobox showed up. It's probably the only anime going on my Hugo ballot this year. Everyone watch that one, please.
It's hard to say how I line up with the critical consensus this year because there isn't one. Megalobox shows up on almost everyone's list, but doesn't take a majority of the top spots. Same for Devilman Crybaby (distributed by Netflix, so outside my beat) and Planet With. Including non-sf shows, A Place Further Than the Universe, Golden Kamuy, and Aggretsuko are in much the same situation.
