So, what has been your favorite anime series of 2019? And/or, what is the series you think was the best (those aren't necessarily the same things)?

Though there is some good competition, I still consider The Promised Neverland to be the best one I've seen. It might also be my favorite, though it's a tight race with My Roommate Is A Cat.

I've divided up my lists into top 5 short form, new and continuing (like Promised Neverland, with a season 2 confirmed or a series that's going into Winter 2020)

For new and complete, I'd say Astra Lost in Space, first and last episodes are a bit longer at 45 minutes each, but the story's really focused, yet gives you a lot to think about in the various topics it brings up, particularly utopia and such.

For ongoing, I'm a little biased, but I still say Demon Slayer is the best, even if it's going to be tricky to watch the movie even if CR gets it officially (though I like how they break it up into segments, if they imitate what they did with Digimon Adventure Tri's movies). The character focus is a bit skewed, but you get a sense of the world and how even what are meant to be deuteragonists (Zenitsu and Inosuke) have depth to them, Tanjiro and Nezuko much more the focus (because they're special and all), plus the effects are cool and the "demons" are presented in a variable manner, to say nothing of establishing a larger threat without needing to linger on him too much

And for short form, Joshikausei is a no-brainer, since there's pretty much no dialogue, but it's light hearted fun and the characters feel somewhat fleshed out in their dynamic and personalities.

I don't watch much anime, but I've been watching this cute series called Restaurant to Another World, and so far it's quite enjoyable. Free of a lot of the stress and drama that a lot of anime has. I don't like drama; I have enough of that IRL.:argh:

#6 on my top 10 new anime of 2017. And who knows if it'll ever get any follow-up, feels like 50% of anime are just promotional stuff to get interest in the source material
