The Apothecary Diaries and Sousou no Frieren both came out in 2023 though, so it seems puzzling that they would be counted as 2024 anime. Is One Piece also a 2024 anime?

@WatchTillTandava business years like the oricon ranking and toei financial results does not follow the normal timeline so i guess it applies here too

i mean did crunchyroll added frieren in their awards nomination back in 2023?

if youre talking about personal enjoyment it has to be Apothecary Diaries for me personally with Frieren and Dungeon Meshi as the runner ups
but yeah considering the impact Frieren had you'd have to live under a rock to not recognise it as anime of the year

im pretty sure Frieren will absolutely clean house at all the awards this year and deservingly so
one of the few times i agree with IGN

I personally prefer Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction and Dungeon Meshi, but I'd say it's deserved because Frieren has the right mix of action and contemplativeness to appeal to both young beginners and old experts and come out at the top of any chart.

Most end eligibility before Fall starts for that year and it gets carried over. Crunchyroll normally did this as well but this year they decided to change it to the calendar year, but since that would exclude Fall 2023 entirely, they're making this years eligibility period 5 seasons from Fall 2023 to Fall 2024 and doing the awards in April.
There's also issues of anime being in multiple eligibility years like only the first arc of JJK S2 being eligible and winning awards last year (which I think is kind of dumb) so I'm not sure how award shows deal with it individually. I think it should be edible in the year it ends, otherwise you're voting for something that could end up terrible before it does. Not including long ongoing anime anyway, they should be their own category.

Oshi No Ko season 2 would be my pick out of what's given. There some I feel a little bit more deserving but that's my opinion and it's not with the majority.

Don't care about deserving and shit. I did love watching these shows.

And the biggest reason? They are all great adaptations of the source material.

I don't think Sequels to anime that came out in previous years should count as "2024 Anime" but other than that yeah I agree Frieren definitely deserves Anime of the Year. I personally prefer Apothecary Diaries to Frieren though.

The best of 2024 is hard to say since there were so many crap anime and only a few I have given a good score.

I'd probably say Konosuba 3, The Fable, Mushoku Tensei 2/2, Boukyaku Battery and a few more in not a particular order.

This fall season though had 1 very surprisingly good anime which I'm truly enjoying but it's not over yet. Goukon ni Ittara Onna ga Inakatta Hanashi. Also Hyakushou Kizoku 2nd Season.

I say Frieren or Apothecary Diaries. But imo none of them should count because they didn’t start airing in 2024 like Kaiju No 8 or Dandadan.

Oshi No Ko season 2 I only watched for my beloved Ai, I dropped the series after that season.

Haven’t watched Delicious in Dungeon so I can’t talk about that.

Boring pick but it is probably frieren, Look back, oshi no ko and dungeon meshi are all respectable picks though.

Though tbh only half of frieren came out this year, so one could argue that it shouldn't count.

Best anime of 2024 was Mahou Shoujo Ni Akogarete no contest. I love Frieren and apothecary diaries but none did what Mahou Shoujo Ni Akogarete did.

I am confused between frieren and kusuriya no hitorigoto. but I can only choose one so I had to go with frieren. Haven’t watched dungeon meshi yet.

Oshi no ko S2 was boring so I dropped it.

Honestly I don’t get the big hype over Frieren, it’s not that I didn’t like it, I do think it is way overhyped for what it is though. I did enjoy all the Hummel scenes, however they were quite rare. I preferred Oshi No Ko and its big lore drop at the end, but I can see why someone can copy and paste my argument for what I just said.
