Sanzoku no Musume Ronja
The animation of the show can be a turn off to some but if you can look past that you will see a beautifully crafted story that can melt even the most icy hearts. Almost every aspect of the story is good and acceptable to all ages which is a big bonus for you can watch this without looking behind you and watch this during your stressful deadlines and this can help. The anime is very well crafted on my eyes I dare not rank this for it transcends my ability to do so.
Sora no Method
It kind of succeeded what Glasslip was trying to do. It was able to make a fantasy/sci fi story with great content with heavy character driven story plus above average artwork. However during the last episode it gives of the aura of rushed ruing the pacing it set from the first episode. In short it does not have any ground breaking elements on it but it is still worth anyone's time and you can still satisfy in watching the anime.
Terra Formars
Great action complementing an interesting story but be sure to watch the uncensored version or you will just not enjoy the anime. It is pretty gory and touching in some of its parts which gives the show a big plus and minus for this means it is better to watch the anime on your phone than in a big hd tv.
Trinity Seven
Another mediocre plot in a high school setting and another demon lord thing that really feels like bladedance. You can expect some terms being thrown to you casually with no explanation or context why that thing/move is called like that with is pretty typical to this kind of anime. In nothing new and next season you will see one or two just like this one.
Ushinawareta Mirai wo Motomete
This one has a VERY interesting story but not in a way i thought that would interest me for it just captivates me in some way however the artwork kind of like not made this year which can be tiring for new anime watchers circa 2014. In short it is a decent enough anime that has good story and nothing else that will make you watch it.
When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace/Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de
Do not take the title too seriously for this one is generally comedy and romance/harem. Nothing really stand out except in that one episode that can hit to some people and in that episode you can see the writing, animation, voice acting really shine and I will not reveal the episode number for you to watch the anime and find out.
World Trigger
The impression I got from this was Tokyo ghouls for kids because basically it has the same premise minus the flesh eating. But as the series drags on it has become more generic and the action scenes boring plus changing your characters facial expression in one form without any diversity does not make a situation or joke funny.
Special mentions:
CROSS ANGE Rondo of Angel and Dragon
At first glance you might expect the ff:mecha, dragons and violence and boobs but it has actually more to offer that will make you wait for every new episodes and the racism part they delivered it well. It may not be the best thing you watch if you are surrounded by judgmental people who just sees the dirty things.
Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken
The best short this year with great comedy and among others like the references and really real issues that couples or even single might face(episode 12). You will not lose anything by trying this one out for again sadly is just a short.
Top 10
10.Akatsuki no Yona
Finally this one does not take place in high school for it showcases the fantasy romance shojo genre should be. The journey and characters of the anime feels like I am watching a kung fu movie with a great writer in emotion thing. or a well crafted legend that can appeal to everyone. It may really slow in pacing but still makes it a great show nonetheless.
9.Madan no Ou to Vanadis
I play strategy games like Total war and a fan of history and this anime just satisfied both for every battle i analyzed and saw blunders of both the protagonist and antagonist. The characters were interesting but sometimes feels generic and bland. the ecchi was ignored because of my careful analysis of the battle. And i really like how the world is structured with constant wars that really shows the bad things that can be inflicted with feudalism style government.
8. Log Horizon s2
It delivered all I loved about the first season and more like the harsh realities of being a gamer and much more. The animation may not be its sword arm but the characters and their development, the plot and pacing were the best this series can offer that can be appreciated by every gamer.
7. GARO THE ANIMATION
Finally an anime that I can to a list alongside Berserk and Claymore. This dark fantasy anime did almost everything right except hiding the possible ending for what transpired in the last episode was something I was expecting fro about since episode 5 or 6 and the bad guy "dying" was very anti climactic. Also play DAI or the upcoming Witcher 3 and something makes it ooze the similar feel.
6. Fate Stay Night - Unlimited Blade Works
I love the Fate Stay night franchise and this is no exception especially with ufotable they were able to make this amazing like they did on Fate zero. The animation are superb and sound/music is very well done making this something to watch repeatedly. But There is a fair amount of just talking episodes and boring interactions which are easily forgiven especially when non magus Souichirou fought Saber.
5.Psycho Pass season 2
It did not quite capture the essence of the first season and what I loved about the first season like the episodic interesting killers which the 2nd season lacks in terms of criminal development plus the bad guy is just a lamer version of the bad guy on the first however if you try to drop the legacy of the previous season and watch the show like that it can be very entertaining and satisfying minus the rushed ending.
4.Parasyte
The plot of the show is superb accompanying with great Art that made the characters appear slicker and newer than the old manga plus with great sound making it a masterpiece but the characters seems boring at the start but after that one arc where something really bad happened the characters became a whole lot interesting. PS why did Kana had to die on my Christmas midnight watching sh**.
3.Rage of Bahamut
With great animation complemented with well crafted fantasy world filled with great protagonists and well rounded side characters plus countless hollywood and historical references like in episode 1 the big wheel fight from pirates of carribean part 2 and the part where jeanne gets corrupted is reminiscent with The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc(1999). Making the show ooze greatness and epicness.
2.Your Lie in april
Every episode make me want to cry with jor and sadness at the same time and the experience of watching the show is just so goddamn amazing that I find it really hard to type it in for no words can accurately what i experienced mainly because it really hit close to home. Just watch the anime and be very satisfied.
1.Shirobako
This anime is very refreshing that anime is still able to bring something new and a gem to the ones who will be watching the show. It showcases real life problems that many can relate to and show how hard anime gets made. plus it made a lot of indirectly referencing and explaining the industry and also directly referencing by having a character with a background and likeness of a certain director.
