Reader’s Choice – Best of Anime 2015 Poll

The end of the year is here and it's time for the tenth Annual Reader's Choice poll. Do you have a favorite series you'd like to see win? Are you just curious to see what everyone else enjoyed this year? Either way, the microphone's in your hands now. Make your vote count.

As per the usual, there will be two polls for you to vote on this year - one for regularly broadcast TV series, and another for OVA/movies. We're asking you for your top 5 picks in each poll, which should stop the results from being heavily skewed towards the mega-popular shows. This year we have an astounding 194 TV series/shorts and 111 OVA/movies for you to choose from, so make sure you look over the entire list before deciding. Keep in mind that like all entertainment, anime is subjective. There is no one size fits all here. Please respect the opinions of others, even if you may disagree with them.

More after the jump.

Winter 2016 Preview!

Brace yourselves... winter is coming. And like tired-ass memes from creatively bankrupt bloggers, that means it's time for another season preview. The world of sequels is still going strong, with a continuation of the wonderful medieval romance Akagami no Shirayukihime 2nd Season, the final installment of the new Durararas in Durarara!!x2 Ketsu, and a return of the ridiculous[ly awesome] octopus-flavored assassination story in Ansatsu Kyoushitsu 2nd Season. Not to be outdone, there are exciting new adaptations as well, such as the multiple award-winning josei drama Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu, the gritty sci-fi of Dimension W, and the latest cute-boys-doing-sports-things otome game adaptation in Prince of Stride Alternative. As for originals---there are a lot of originals. I don't even know where to start as there are so many of them, but some to look out for are studio Sanzigen's CGI action series Bubuki Buranki, the powersuit cop action of Active Raid: Kidou Kyoushuushitsu Dai Hakkei, and what might be a reprise of your favorite childhood game in Phantasy Star Online 2 The Animation. All in all, there's a wide range to look forward to for anime fans of all types. Join us once again as we tell you which ones we think will be good---this is Random Curiosity's Winter 2016 Preview.
