Time to choose the best anime of the year that was 2018. The poll below contains the top three picks from each season as voted by you, the readers, and now it is time to decide which of these titles deserves to win best of the year.
The poll will close on the 14th of January with the winner to be announced soon after. Last day to vote!
Because the selection is already short listed, you get one vote, so make it count, and be sure to spread the word because the more the merrier. I’d love to know what you voted for and why so please leave a comment below.

TENSEI SHITARA SLIME DATTA KEN: RIMURU TEMPEST
Previous poll results:
Of course the best anime by far is My Hero Academia!!!!!
I’m going to laugh again at the premature hype of Devilman Crybaby at the start of 2018, when anime youtubers the world over proclaimed it anime of the year… 7 days into said year. Now, aside from my little moment of satisfaction, this was a good poll. As always, there’s a good variety and selection of anime that came out, and I think anything here could reasonably win, though like everyone else, I have my favorite 🙂 Looking forward to the results!
I’m also curious to see what will win this one and I liked the results of short listing each season. It’s given an interesting selection of anime for the anime of the year.
In looking at the list there were so many to enjoy. I guess I ended up voting for the one that really left the biggest impact on my mind.
I’m very curious to see which one wins. First and second place have been very tight (but at least everything has been voted for, I’d feel really bad if one of these shows hadn’t received any votes).
Of course 3-gatsu no lion for me.
Yay!
I know what I’m voting for, but boy, what a LONG year. I forgot March Comes In Like A Lion S2 was early 2018! Feels so long ago………
Don’t forget about March. The only bad thing about that is that there was no season three.
I’m disappointed–where are the bribes?! Here in the States, if you’re going to have an election, you allow the candidates the opportunity to smear each others’ reputations and bribe the voters. (I wouldn’t have caused any trouble. My vote can be bought for a cold beer, and a plate of fried chicken would have gotten you the votes of all my cousins whose names I can remember closely enough to forge. . .)
Vote for Seishun Buta Yarou and Mai will give you a free foot-stomping 😉
Well, I guess we know who Sakuta is voting for then.
She’s rather young for me–any chance she has an aunt whom she resembles?
She has a young, divorced, and unmarried mother.
😉
Who treats her own daughters like commodities–hard pass on mom!
I could be happy with many of the titles on this list coming first, but I voted for Hinamatsuri as the series I probably enjoyed the most. By a hair.
I’m curious as to how this will go. Hinamatsuri was really well reviewed so it will be interesting to see how it places.
Did you ever get around to watching it?
I got about five episodes into it but I wasn’t really getting into it. I do intend to eventually finish it but not really in a rush.
Ah, ok. I think the Anzu/homeless arc was the most powerful for most people, so if nothing else I would recommend finishing that. Could just be a matter of taste, though.
Ancient Magus bride made the list so I’m happy.
I am very curious as to which of these people will vote for in this final poll. They all made the top three of their season but it will be interesting to see which they think is best overall.
