My favorite anime of the past 10 years 2008-2018

UPDATED 2/20/23 - added "March Comes In Like a Lion" to 2016 and 2017 which I hadn't seen at the time I wrote this original post. But clearly the best of that year.

I replied to a tweet of someone else's top anime of the past 10 years, but I decided to post it here as well so that it wouldn't be lost in the ether. Without ado, here's my list:

2008: Toradora, runner up Minami-ke

2009: Maria Watches Over Us, runners up Sweet Blue Flowers and Kimi Ni Todoke  (what an amazing year!)

2010: K-On!, runner up Arakawa Under the Bridge

2011: Usagi Drop, runners up Anohana, Chihayafuru, Puella Magi Madoka Magica (another amazing year)

2012: Pet Girl of Sakurasou, runners up Love Chunibyo & Other Delusions, My Little Monster, Say I Love You (holy hell what an incredible year)

2013: Chihayafuru, runners up My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU

2014: Sakura Trick, runners up Sailor Moon Crystal, Blue Spring Ride, One Week Friends, Your lie in April (Seriously, it's like every other year is amazing)

2015: Sailor Moon Crystal

 2016: March Comes In Like a Lion, runners up Sailor Moon Crystal, runners up Orange, New Game!

2017: March Comes In Like a Lion, runners up New Game!
