Top 10 Anime of 2014

It's almost the end of the year, and that means it's time for Top Ten Anime lists! I had a very hard time picking out my favorites since a enjoyed a lot of anime titles this year. I've also decided this year to not rank them--I feel that each title is different enough from the others that it makes it hard say that one is better than another when it really all comes down to personal taste. With that said, all of these shows are the best that I watched in the last year, and I highly recommend all of them.

I loved Tonari no Seki-kun for its random antics from week to week, but easily my favorite part of the show was the drumming over the credits. We need more jazz in anime.
