Top Anime of 2016

Leave a comment

2016 is just about over if not over already when you’re reading this, lets take a look back and see what Anime I considered top of 2016. This is of course all based on opinion, your list might be different than mine or anyone else’s.

I’ll start off with my personal favorite, a very niche anime due to the series its based off of, I’m talking of course about…

danganronpa-3-eohpa-pv

Danganronpa 3

The only way to have enjoyed this anime is if you played the 2 games leading up to this anime, if you start watching it without any knowledge of the games then you will have no idea what is happening and you will ruin the “twists” that happen in the game. As a series end it was acceptable, it made me feel despair as it intended but I do think some characters needed a little more development before being killed off. Regardless, Danganronpa 3 was in the top 3 favorites of mine in 2016.

Re: Zero is an anime I wrote a little review for go check it out here. Anyway though, even though it now feels like it has a slow start, it still sucked me in until I watched the last episode available. I am definitely waiting in anticipation for more episodes to come out. If not, I’ll settle for reading the manga.

The Disastrous life of Saiki K.

The Disastrous life of Saiki K. is one of the funniest anime I have seen in a while. Saiki has psychic powers and is never surprised because he can read minds, except he can’t read the minds of anyone really dumb, like his self proclaimed best buddy Nendo. It’s a great watch. I’ll give more info on an NCG Recommends piece.

Kono Subarashii Sekai Ni Syukufuku Wo!

Konosuba is another Anime we recommended before Here. Every episode was hilarious and the story sucked me in. Go watch it and then join me in waiting for season 2.

Berserk (2016)

One more that we recommended before! I personally loved watching this and could hardly wait for the following weeks episode. I certainly hope it constitutes until it catches up to the Manga, but also I don’t want it to because it goes on hiatus a lot and that makes me sad.

Which series had you hooked in 2016? Let us know in the comments?

What would your first thought be if you were transported to a fantasy world out of nowhere? I think I would freak out. Subaru, on the other hand, instantly knows he is in a fantasy world and hopes that he was the “chosen one” with extraordinary powers- nothing could be further from the truth.

Subaru is almost mugged and then is saved by a mysterious girl in search of a thief. He agrees to help her and tracks down the thief only to be killed by someone. You would think that the main character wouldn’t die so early. But, he comes back from the dead to an earlier point in the day before he even met the girl and only he remembers. It takes Subaru a while to even realize he has the power to repeat some actions after dying, but when he does, he continuously relives certain days until he gets it right almost like Groundhog Day.

The story is quite interesting since nothing is ever the same, but at the same time it’s frustrating because I wondered why Subaru didn’t use some of his previously gained knowledge to his advantage on the next go around. All that being said, the Anime has a way of pulling at your heartstrings repeatedly every time Subaru fails to accomplish an important goal. I really recommend this anime. The first season is 25 episodes long, and there has not been any announcement for a second season. Go watch it and let me know what you think. If you already watched let me know what you think!
