Top 10 Anime of 2014








It has been quite a year for anime. This year we've gotten some good and some bad anime. Some anime that made us think and some anime that wished we never gotten emotionally attached to characters who have numbers for names. Right now i will cut straght to  the chase and give you my top 10 anime's of 2014.
These are my top 10 of what i thought were the best of this year if you don't agree with this list that fine.


No.10

Wizard Barristers:Benmashi Cecil
 Not alot of people know about this anime because it was overshadowed by Nisekoi and a finshing up KLK. Made by the same person who made KITE. Mezzo DSA, and Mezzo Forte Yasuomi Umetsu puts out his own anime the first in 8 years. The story was about 18 Year old Cecil who becomes a public defender of those who uses magic making her the youngest defender as the story progress there are people who are after here developing magical powers and near the end of this anime Lucifer himself was even interested in Cecil. If you missed this anime or haven't checked this out due to Umetsu record of only making hentai or hentai-ish anime give this one a chance. The action is good and  the plot is very well written and if you are looking for hentai there are a few ecchi moment but this is more of a action/drama anime.




No.9

Amagi Brilliant Park


Even though it just finished airing this show still made the list. I feel Kyoani took a gamble when they decided to make this show about a failing amusement park. Not only did it souly focused on kaine trying to make quota before the deadline but it also focused on the comedy and try not to make this a heavy drama filled show which it could have been. I believe if there is a season two that when they will add the drama.


No.8

Akuma No Riddle


Its a yuri. Its a Action Yuri. Well to be frank its a show where 12 girls try to kill one girl and if they do they get their wish granted. As we get to see how each diffrent girl tries to kill Haru(i say try because she is now protected by Tokaku a blue haired girl who vowes to protect haru with her life) we get to see each girl motivation on why they want or have to kill Haru. Its one to check out if you like Yuri.

No.7

Free-Eternal Summer



This is the second season of FREE! we get not one but Two new characters and everyone overcomes their problems. Im sorry i really don't want to talk much about this because Funimation is dubbing this shit and they did a shitty job casting the dub cast.


No.6

Mekaku City Actors


What started off as a series of Vocaloid songs under the titled Kagero-project which was then adapted into a manga with the titled Mekaku City Actors, Mekaku City Actors was another must see anime. SHAFT decied to animate the series and for the most part it turn out well. The plot if you haven't read the manga or listen to any of the songs it will be confusing. The ending will have you rage quit because being honest i was hopping for a bad ending but if rumors are true and if they are making a ova i may be getting my bad ending.

No.5

Gugure! Kokkuri-San



Another anime that finished airing, this anime is based on a girl living on her own untill she summons a fox spirt named Kokkuri-san who end up living with her just to look out for her. More characters were added to the fray and a big ol ball of comedy followed. This is more of a supernatural comedy but it is funny.

No.4

Hanamonogatari

 

This is another arc in the monogatari series but instead of focusing on any of the main cast. it's main focused was on Kabaru. Kabaru decided to talk to a girl who she use to go to Junior High with who she though drop out due to a injury to her leg. This girl decide to take the monkey paw curse from kanbaru  only for kabaru to find out that this girl is dead and she plan on collecting all of the money part becoming the embodiment of the curse it self. Instead of it being 5 single episodes like SHAFT originally planned  it was 5 episodes together making it one hour long episode. None of the main cast was seen except agargi and that was only 5 min in the last part. Hanamonogatari was very personal to me as well as for it was about growing and figuring out who you are.  Please check out Hanamonogatari if you haven't





No.3

Parasyte




 While this anime is still currently airing this anime is really good. New Fapping Jokes were born and if you even go to the Jbox/Jlist Site there are product with Migi on them or made with migi likeness. Parasyte is about Shinichi who while sleeping get infect with a parasyte named or who names himself Migi and his soul purpose was to take over his body but only manage to take over his hand. As the story progress we see Shinichi and Migi fight off and kill other Parasytes. If you like blood, gore and psychological anime check this out seeing how this is going to be 25 episodes

No. 2

Fate/Stay night Unlimited Blade works 





 While i was happy that Studio Ufotable decided to redo the whole Fate/Stay Night series(now get on Tsukihime) i kinda wasn't happy how it ended.  Yes emiya is no longer a master but it seem like Rin became super bitch to him at the end. For fuck sake Rin he just lost Saber to Caster! The series over all was good with good clean cut fight scenes and fluent dialogue and amazing animation. Im just kinda sad on how it ended maybe its cuz i JUST watched it yesterday and for the last episode to be a hour long i would expect more action and less talking. Still it was a great series.



No. 1

Zankyou No Terror




This one was probaby glossed over at the time it aired. Watanabe did it again with Zankyou no Terror. What stood out the most in this series besides Twelve death was the music which was a mix between a Uptempo Jazz soundtrack and a Indie Soundtrack. What i like most about this anime was how it was about two teens who grew up in a orphanage who grow up to blow up buildings all to send a message. After this anime aired someone did a post about how this was probably made to remember those who died in the project Unit 731 which was a bit of  stretch but semi-belivable if you checked out the anime. The whole LisaXTwelve thing they tried to force in those few episode is what kinda killed it a bit but when it comes to this plot it is very amazing and refreshing.


Hornarable mentions


Is the order a Rabbit?

A slice of life anime basically if Aira and K-on had a baby in a Coffee shop. It's a cute show

Sakura Trick


Another Slice of life anime but it is a Yuri that focus around the budding relationship between the two main characters.


I hope you would go back and check out a few of these anime. What are your top 10 anime of this year?

and again Happy New year!
