It's been a very eventful year for me, but in the middle of everything I still managed to watch a pretty good amount of anime. From wolves and deer to kaiju and losing heroines, here's my top 10 of this year.  Top 10 New Anime: 10.

The song is one of Eve's better ones.  9. Spice and Wolf OP2 "Sign" The Spice and Wolf remake didn't exactly have the best of luck in its animation department - serviceable but not remarkable in any fashion - but this OP makes the best of its circumstances with very effective imagery that doesn't need flashy animation to leave an impression.  8.  Alya Sometimes Hi...
