I mostly watch shows when they’re finished. It’s nice to be able to watch an episode every day, but the downside is I lag behind everyone else and can’t really participate in polls like this since the only two shows I watched from this year is Frieren and Dungeon Meshi. So I decided not to vote at all. Overall I watched 25 shows this year, most from 201x, some from 200x and a few from 202x.

Do people on Lemmy only watch Frieren and Dungeon Meshi? Lol

Why would someone spent their time on something else?

Hey, I also watched DanDaDan!
Tbf, I think there’s a pretty big dip from the super popular anime to everything else that was nominated this year. I ended up giving up on voting, just because there was category after category where I’d only seen one or two of the shows listed.

I know I went to see the lists and saw most of 2024s anime wasn't there so I didn't vote.
Maybe for the best because I'm a trash anime enjoyer.

Haha, they certainly had the most broad voting base it seems.

I didn’t watch either. Then again, I also didn’t vote, so . . .

You are missing out.
Try giving them a chance.

I dropped Frieren one episode in because it was too slice-of-life-y for my tastes. Maybe I’ll give it another chance someday, since it seems to be so universally adored. 🤷
Dungeon Meshi got a hard pass because it was a comedy that didn’t look like it would have enough non-comedic substance to keep me entertained. (To me, roughly half of all “comedy” is outright cringeworthy and most of the rest is somewhat less funny than your average dad joke . . . and “funny” isn’t a quality that I tend to look for in my entertainment anyway.) Most people seem to like comedies, so I find their ratings tend to be inflated.

I mean, they are really good. Even if they weren’t my pick for everything, I definitely understand it

Guess I’m going to have to check out Frieren.
