Yowamushi Pedal: Grande Road – Hime!
 |
|
If you’re not a fan of sports anime, this might just be the one to change your mind. |
For all that there are myriad qualities that can make an anime great, there’s just no substitute for sincerity.

「ユリ熊嵐」 (Yuri Kuma Arashi)
“Yuri Kuma Arashi”
I feel it’s safe to say that Yuri Kuma Arashi turned out much better than people initially gave it credit for.
Sanzoku no Musume Ronja – Springtime of Youth
 |
|
Together, through winter and spring. |
Sanzoku no Musume Ronja is Ghibli through-and-through.

「スーサイド•ツアー」 (Suusaido Tsuaa)
“Suicide Tour”
Coming into this episode, I honestly did not know how Madhouse would send this one off.
DOG DAYS” – Optimistic Adventures of Friends and Dreams
 |
|
More friends all the time. |
The third season was a return to form, featuring the essential elements I loved about the first season and all the characters from the second, mixed together in a different way.
Yoru no Yatterman – A Difficult Journey
 |
|
Also my face during Yoru no Yatterman’s filler episodes. |
I don’t think I’ve ever watched an anime as inconsistent as Yoru no Yatterman.
Junketsu no Maria – The Trials of a Witch
 |
|
Father, Mother, Child. |
Junketsu no Maria was a simple tale, but there were several themes that it explored during its run – all of them to some degree of success.

「艱難汝を玉にす」 (Kannannanji o Tama Ni Su)
“Adversity Makes a Man Wise”
Every single series I wrote about this season is sequel bait.

「いつか見た流星 -Inherit the Stars-」 (Itsuka mi ta Ryūsei -Inherit the Stars-)
“Shooting Star of Yesteryear -Inherit the Stars-“
Fair or not, anime are always graded on a curve. And it’s a tough week for Aldnoah.Zero.

「開拓者たち」 (Kaitaku-sha-tachi)
“The Pioneers”
An uneven second season it may have been—at least compared to the more reliably stellar first—but the final episode delivered a finale worth it all. Log Horizon accepts your quest!
