Previous Thread

In case you missed it, the 2025 Fediverse Anime Awards are open for nominations right now! I wrote over in that thread why I'm not running awards for the manga community, but wanted to have a discussion about last year.

So, let's hear it! What series did you like from last year? hate? Did a series art catch your eye? One of your favorites come to a satisfying conclusion? As always, feel free to use this as a general discussion thread as well.

Like normal, please be careful with spoilers. I wrote a guide about spoilers in case you need a refresher on how to handle them (also linked in the sidebar).

Maybe it's that the people all feel a little too idealized?

I get what you mean. I sometimes have the same feeling. I wouldn't say they're without flaws per se, but they are all almost saintly at times. On the one hand it's refreshing because it means that the usual "misunderstanding arc" that could be resolved by just talking doesn't happen or go on for ages. On the other hand they sometimes go too far and it feels unrealistic.
