You're right. There wasn't a lot of hype for the fall 2016 season compared to Winter and Spring.

Heavy Hitters (1st Part of Year): ERASED (had mixed results but had a lot press attention), KonoSuba, Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash, Re:ZERO, Kabaneri (also mixed w/ fans), My Hero Academia, Kiznaiver

Heavy Hitters (2nd Part of Year): Yuri on Ice (social media mostly), Keijo, Drifters, Haikyu, Food Wars

Let me or DocHaus know if there is anything missing on the Gdocs, folks. I'm online almost every day at Anime Vice and Twitter or have questions about the validity of one entry on the Gdocs.

Knew One-Punch Man would be #1 in the results. I didn't expect to see Shirobako or Working either. I thought either Your Lie in April or Parasyte be in the lower half. When you have Fall 2014 shows ending in 2015. People would either forget those shows or those shows will get drown by other competitors. For most shows, it's probably in their advantage to aired near half of the year and end before the year. I assume Shirobako had a better lasting appeal than Parasyte Maxim due to how Parasyte ended.

Great blog, DocHaus!

I'm sad that I didn't play any new games that came out from 2015. Won't be voting. Do like reading people's lists!

Cool list - Definitely will try Undertale and Mario Maker.

@dochaus:

Interesting results. Kill la Kill is pretty big in Giant Bomb. Here's the Anime Vice's results if anyone's interested.

Anime

• 2011 - Puella Magi Madoka Magica
• 2012 - Fate/Zero
• 2013 - Attack on Titan
• 2014 - Parasyte: The Maxim

Manga

• 2013 - Bleach
• 2014 - Toriko

Here's the link that has the results and Vice Pit videos.

I already voted for Giant Bomb's Best Anime of the Year. It was pretty hard to choose, considering I had a lot of favorites.

Fixed it.

If anyone spots anything missing, feel free to PM DocHaus or me or leave a Tweet at both our Twitter accounts. I'll try to be fast and responsive.

Edit:

It's One-Punch Man already when I went to double check it.

Great list! I haven't bought and play any new games in 2015. Have to recheck. This list reminds me of how I play a lot of old games past their launch dates and replay them to beat it completely. I found Persona Q pretty fun. Been playing that along with Persona 3. I fail to do a 100% social links in Persona 3 on my 2nd play through. For some odd reason, I invested more time in Xiii-2 than the original Lightning game. The ending broke my heart once I found out there was no way to get a happy ending after completing all side quests.

I wish I could help. The new Giant Bomb site doesn't have that recently edit page that could help me track new wiki editors. The group of wiki editors I followed years ago are mostly inactive.

I'll check by and help out if I can. Write up an old wiki page like old times.

Wow, that's detailed review of the book. Video Games like other media (IE: comics and anime) gets stigmatized. When it gets huge and seen a lot, it's half and half roughly accepted by majority of folks. The side effects of its popularity gain some negative things, too like recent events last year. It's part of the culture. Let folks enjoy however they like as entertainment, as art, as social criticism, etc. We just got to keep doing what we love.
