Ranking the Anime of 2013 that Didn’t Suck

The 2013 year of anime was a rather interesting one for me. Reason being that it’s the first full year I’ve spent actually watching episodes of stuff the day the subs come out. It also threatened to be the last one since the start of the year felt so bland to me that I only managed to latch on to a couple of non-sequels that quickly turned out to be pretty sucky as well. That said, the year managed to pull up it’s bootstraps more and more towards the end and shot out some really memorable titles. For the sake of this list though, since it’s my very first yearly roundup, I’ll include everything that I saw and liked regardless of whether or not it started in 2013, just so long as it had episodes airing this year.

Let’s just skip the introductions and get up to speed on this season shall we?

I’ve finally had enough of simply reading/commenting on other ani-blogs, so I finally decided to dip my toes into the blogosphere ocean for the first time. Let’s all hope that I don’t embarrass myself too much.

Anyhow, regarding this season, I must say I’m very much pleased with the batch thrown at us this time around. Before this season got started, I was ready to label 2013 as an extremely shitty year. Winter was especially bad, essentially dropped the whole season asides from Maoyu and Senran Kagura, both of which failed to live up to my expectations (seriously, Senran Kagura was lacking in the fanservice department). Only titles I liked at all from the first half of the year that I can remember were The Flowers of Evil,The Eccentric Family, Attack on Titan and Watamote (rated 7, 7, 6 and 6 out of 10 respectively so I didn’t  quite love any of ’em). Anyway, enough of that shit, I’ve ordered stuff from this season from the ones love most to the ones I dislike most (dropped stuff isn’t any particular order). Let’s get started.
