More specifically, in the best international shows section.

That's pretty cool imo, didn't expect to see it here.
Pretty sure the only time an anime made the list was My hero academia in 2016.

I wonder if one of the article's contributors watch anime in a regular manner? Since it was quite uncommon for anime title from the likes of Yorimoi's genre to be included in this global audience-catering kind of article.

Nonetheless, quality has spoken for itself when it comes to this.

Am genuinely smiling widely as soon as I heard the news. The girls really are ALRIGHT!

This was unreal to me. I love the show to death, it became my favorite anime and I wanted it to get recognition, but honestly I thought the best it would ever get is maybe AOTY in Crunchyroll's awards thing they do. Not that it would be recognized by a world renowned newspaper and listed as one of the best shows of 2018. While it doesn't really mean anything, it still makes me happy to see it get the recognition.

Also need to rewatch now because seeing this made me excited again.

Very great news. This series deserved it. I hope Yorimoi at least become AOTY nomination in Crunchyroll's Awards or another anime awards (and the fact that this is one of Crunchyroll's produced anime)

There is no other anime that i always recommend to my friends than this series. Character, storytelling, soundtrack and music are awesome. Need to rewatch again

Despite what the author says, I still think it's a show "with a pretty specific audience" but if this article brings some more people to get in touch with what's best in anime nowadays, "Sora yori ..." is definitively a great choice as a stand alone season (and THE best choice for 2018 if I look at my own anime list).

Anime finally being accepted into the main stream consciousness is always a win in my book.

Sora Yori is a great pick from this year and glad people are spreading that.

I am happy seeing sorayori is recognized. The next news I want to see is for it to become Anime of the Year hahahaha.

This Legit Surprissed me. I know its not gonna win but It was Nominated. Thats way better than other shows in the last 5 years. Sora Yori deserves it Honestly. Maybe its not the best show of the year but it is the best CGDCT show of this year.

I'm kinda surprised to see this show on that list. I really enjoyed it, the next to last episode had me feeling really sad.

Oh nice to see a really damn great anime, which is still niche, be in this quite prestigious of a publication's best list. This is great news and I sure do hope more people watch the show. It deserves it a lot.

Watching the show right now and it didnt even win in a mal "best anime" poll. It was second after Bunny yarou.

The anime is really good imo.
I can see this anime being a strong 8 by the time it finishes

Don't get your hopes too high. There's about 8 penguins at max in the entire show and the girls never change their ugly haircut.

I didn't watch Banny Girl so I can't tell, but I think it's due to the recency bias

Saw a thread in /a/ about this and took a look, /a/utists said that the anime was good, that's why I started watching it now. I guess I'll have to see if it lives up to the praises it's currently receiving.

I don't have the link or anything like that, it was quite a while ago. But it was a thread that said the exact same thing. "Sora yori mo Tooi Basho Awarded best TV show by New York Times" or something like that and then I decided to lurk on that thread and finally ask if its really good. Then here I am.
