What is the best Anime of the 2010's, in your opinion?

[Zan]

Could be a series, movie, OVA, Netflix exclusive, Amazon Exclusive, anything. One of my resolutions this year is to really get back into the medium (Only watched some shows here and there, mostly stuff that aired on Toonami) so I'd like to see the best of the best of the last 9-10 years to catch up. Any genre is fine, so if you feel really strongly about recomending something, go ahead. Only thing I ask is that you say where it can be streamed/digitally bought.

My choice for best would have to be a not too controversial pick, Devilman Crybaby on Netflix. Seriously, go and watch this series if you haven't already. So good.

 

[Sanka]

Has to be Mob Psycho 100. Brilliant animation, beautiful message that is based on empathy and self acceptance and it's funny as hell too. I love it.

...did you not read your own OP?

Anyway, my answer is definitely Haikyu! I'm not a fan of volleyball or really any sports, but the characters just hooked me. Fantastic series. Also available dubbed on Netflix, but only S1 and S2.

Season 4 is coming in a couple weeks.

 

[HeyNay]

Madoka, easily.

If you liked Devilman Crybaby, you'd probably like this. Don't let the baby faces fool you. It's more in line with Devilman than it is Sailor Moon.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Mob Psycho 100, with Attack on Titan as a close second.

 

[Cipher Peon]

Attack on Titan :)

 

[Protoman200X]

Carole & Tuesday for me.

Aside from it being a wholesome show about two people aspiring to enter the music industry to be folk singers, the world is presented that's just a little off familiar tech levels, but just far enough to seem impressive without reaching too far into science fiction.

Madoka has to have the most misleading opening of all time lol

 

[Lotus]

Either Mob Psycho or Attack on Titan

 

[HStallion]

Hunter x Hunter is certainly in the top 3 even if it isn't number 1

 

[Joule]

Ping Pong the Animation

EDIT: It's available on funimation

https://www.funimation.com/shows/ping-pong-the-animation/

 

[Narag]

Ping Pong

 

[PRrambo_]

Space Dandy

 

[andymcc]

Hunter x Hunter is certainly in the top 3 even if it isn't number 1

Click to shrink...

Yeah.

My unranked top 5 series would be like:

Yamato 2199
Mob Psycho
Hunter X Hunter
Devilman Crybaby
Jojo: Diamond is Unbreakable

had to sacrifice Ping Pong-- sorry friend

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

Either Mob Psycho or Attack on Titan

Click to shrink...

This is correct.

 

[Arrrammis]

Either Hunter x Hunter or Mob Psycho 100 for me.

 

[pochi]

Attack on Titan
Hunter X Hunter
Devilman Crybaby

 

[Geist]

Land of the Lustrous would be my pick. I'm not even sure I can put into words why I think it's better than all the other great shows that aired this decade, but I truly love it.

The soundtrack probably has something to do with it.

 

[Lotus]

Hunter X Hunter

Oh fuck, forgot about this

I get it.

 

[Deleted member 18021]

Mahoujin Guru Guru, the best show that nobody watched.

:^)

Most interesting was Re:Creators, though.

 

[GTAce]

Everything JoJo. Honourable mentions: Mob Psycho 100, Demon Slayer, and Hunter X Hunter (2011).

 

[Chainsawkitten]

Wandering Son.

Slice-of-life comedy/drama about trans kids.

It used to be on Crunchyroll; I assume it still is (not sure which version though, the Blu-ray release adds an entire episode (which is not filler)).

 

[Monster Zero]

Easily Hunter X Hunter. It made me cry.

 

[Betty]

Nothing's come close to Hunter X Hunter.

 

[Hellwarden]

 

[djinn]

March Comes in Like a Lion

Or

Showa Genroku Rakugou Shinjuu

Difficult to choose between them.

 

[Shadoken]

Devilman Crybaby

Seen Mob Psycho Season 1. Also seen HunterXHunter from Greed Island onward. Does Attack on Titan get better after the first 5 episodes or so?

Ping Pong the Animation

And here I thought this was just a running gag in the Toonami thread. I remember an old OVA on VHS which was Ping Pong Club. Is that related?

 

[Jarate]

Ping Pong the Animation is the perfect anime, so I'd go with that

Mob Psycho #2

 

[AoM]

3-gatsu no Lion.

Spoiler

And Chihayafuru.

 

[NESpowerhouse]

It's Psycho-Pass baybeeee!

 

[ItRhymesWithDoom]

*hastily looks up Astro Fighter Sunred*
2008-2009
SHIT!

But, S2, 2009-2010, HA-HA!


Okay, so it's a parody, but so is One Punch Man, the other obvious answer.

 

[SoundCheck]

Movie: a Silent Voice
Series: Hunter X Hunter or Mob

 

[LossAversion]

Hard to decide between Your Name, A Silent Voice, and When Marnie Was There.

 

[Deleted member 35077]

It may not have the best animation, but what Samurai Flamenco does bring in is a unique experience, one that you will never forget. I doubt you will ever find another anime like it. I salute you Manglobe for creating this masterpiece, even if it did cause your closure.

 

[earthsucks]

the tatami galaxy.

 

[Sabretooth]

To all of you who didn't answer Pop Team Epic:

Spoiler

The best anime of the 2010s, imo, was Kill la Kill by a very long shot.

Edit: Fuck it, I'll post my Top 10 of the year:

1. Kill la Kill
2. Pop Team Epic
3. Steins;Gate
4. Yuri Kuma Arashi
5. Angel Beats!
6. Watashi ga Motenai no wa dō Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui!
7. Ping Pong
8. Megalo Box
9. Kids on the Slope
10. Yuri!!! on Ice

Honourable mentions:

- The Tatami Galaxy [A sign of great things to come from the director, and an absolute mood when it comes to college life]
- Tiger & Bunny [The best Western superhero show came from Japan, who'd have thunk?]
- Mawaru Penguindrum [*deep breath* IKUHARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]
- Puella Magi Madoka Magica [This was crazy to begin with, but that twist? Fucking hell.]
- The Flowers of Evil [What a vibe. Way to turn regular adolescent life into a horror mood.]
- Devilman Crybaby [Started great, turned meh, and then ended on a scene so incredible, I still often rewatch that scene to this day]
- Sarazanmai [*deeper breath* IKUHARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]

 

[Birdie]

Hey Bot!

 

[Zuly]

Without a doubt for me, it's Ping Pong The Animation.

 

[RecRoulette]

Revue Starlight, absolutely gorgeous anime with amazing music. Managed to tell a fantastic story that wrapped up nicely in 12 episodes.

Runner-up: Space Dandy, Watanabe's masterpiece. That show did EVERYTHING.

Movie: The Night is Short, Walk On, Girl. Beautiful film with a fun plot.

 

[Deleted member 12224]

Carole and Tuesday by a mile.

Then Space Dandy.

Then 🤷‍♂️

 

[Yourfawthaaa]

Attack on Titan

and

One punch man.

 

[Cess007]

Mob Psycho 100
Death Parade

 

[TacoSupreme]

Shirobako by a country mile for me. P.A. Works has done a number of "working life" style anime (Hanasaku Iroha, Sakura Quest, Shirobako), and while they've all been enjoyable, Shirobako is simply a cut above anything I saw in the 2010s. It gets thumbs up from me for having a majority adult cast, handles drama and comedy with an equally deft touch, and mixes an adult woman's journey through her early working life with chill daily life elements.

Of course, being an insider's look (albeit a somewhat glorified one) at the creation of anime itself probably helps the show to do so well at creating a rich mixture of industry detail, interpersonal drama and inspirational "follow your dreams" sweetness.

It's an easy 10/10 for me, has helped me look at the world of anime differently, and is (in my eyes) a must-watch for any anime fan.

Has nobody said Steins;Gate?!?

Heh, it most certainly does
