2010: Kind of a lackluster year for me, it looks like. I struggle to call anything that aired this year a "favorite" but Angel Beats was really good! It has such a great OP theme too.
2012: There was a lot of good anime this year, but I've narrowed it down to two....... Zetsuen no Tempest (because I love Shakespeare and this anime is batshit) and Aquarion EVOL (because I love mecha anime and cute girls) 😳
2013: Free! is absolutely, definitely and with 100% certainty about boys in love... with swimming 😉 (and with each other).
2014: This year had a LOT of good anime, but my heart belongs to Yona of the Dawn. It's one of my all-time favorites. If you like eastern fantasy, found family, adventure and romance please watch it!!!!! And then read the manga because it gets SO good past where the anime ends 😭
2015: And breaking the theme again for Kekkai Sensen/Blood Blockade Battlefront. I feel like this anime was kind of underrated when it came out. It's SO good. I absolutely love urban fantasy and the characters in this are just so fun.
2018 (again): Banana Fish, Free! S3, Wotakoi and Violet Evergarden are close runner-ups (with the last two just to prove I do, in fact, sometimes watch anime that don't feature boys falling in love with other boys.)
2018: Okay, this year was actually difficult because there's a lot of really good picks BUT I'm going with Sword Art Online: Alicization because (and hear me out here) Kirito and Eugeo absolutely fell in love with each other and you can't convince me otherwise! 😃😃
2021 (again): ALSO SORRY, BUT WE'RE ADDING ANOTHER ONE 'CAUSE DONGHUA SHOULD COUNT TOO *clears throat* Do you like drama? Do you like time travel? Do you like being emotionally broken? Do you want irreparable damage done to your heart? Please watch Link Click.
2021: Wow I really didn't watch all that much anime in 2021 either, but my answer is easy and predictable again. It's Sk8..... because..... boys being cute..... and definitely in love.
2022: Listen, I know the real answer should be SPYxFAMILY, but I'm going to talk about Sasaki to Miyano anyway because I know what I'm about and that's: BL! 🥺🥺 A solid 12 episodes of boys being cute and in love!!!!!!!! My idea of a good time.
