Every year Japan\u2019s anime industry pushes more new anime out to viewers via television broadcast and increasingly by Internet streaming. By comparison, 2010 saw the broadcast of roughly 125 new anime productions. That number blossomed up to an estimated 213 new television & web anime in 2014 and hit a record high of 248 in 2017. In the current century, 2002, 2008, and the second half of 2012 through 2013 have been exceptionally praiseworthy years for new television anime debuts while classes including 2010 & 2014 were rather unimpressive. 2017 was comparable to its predecessor in a certain light. 2016 was a year with a slightly above average median of quality for broadcast anime but a year with a small number of exceptional highlights. 2017 was also a year with a high average quality but an unusually small number of flawless premieres.<\/p>\n

I judge anime quality by considering technical merit, including art design and animation quality, and literary quality, including originality and script. Therefore premiere titles have an intrinsic advantage over sequels in my eyes, and the best shows are typically ones that introduce viewers to unique ideas and individual creativity distinct from convention and stereotype. So my personal \u201cbest of the year\u201d picks are determined by artistic merit rather than popularity. Out of personal curiosity, I try to sample as many new anime as I can. By my count, 249 \u201cnew\u201d anime premiered on Japanese television or web broadcast in 2017. My count deliberately excludes new seasons that do not have a change in title and continue official episode numbering, and TV specials that are clearly part of a continuing season. I was fortunate to watch at least one complete episode of 237 of the year\u2019s roughly 249 new anime.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m conflicted about nominating the singular best broadcast anime of 2017 because two shows vie for the title: the stronger of the two has one prominent weakness. The Little Witch Academia<\/em> television series is arguably the second best TV anime of 2017. But among the year\u2019s finest new programs, it\u2019s the only one that didn\u2019t suffer a noticeable structural compromise. Studio Trigger could have taken the easy route and launched its Little Witch Academia<\/em> television anime by re-editing or remaking its earlier two OVAs, but it didn\u2019t. Instead, Trigger took inspiration from the fan enthusiasm for the franchise, and artistic inspiration from the golden era of anime, and created a wonderfully imaginative, heartfelt, and joyously animated cohesive story that began and ended within its allotted 26 episodes. More than just about any other anime series in modern memory, the Little Witch Academia<\/em> television series felt like a show its creators enjoyed making rather than a show they made as a business provision. The series was filled with vibrant characterizations and plenty of scenes in which animation was deliberately more extensive and elaborate than necessary just because the animators wanted to show off their ability. The Little Witch Academia<\/em> TV series harkens back to an era of anime when anime was delightful and felt creatively inspired rather than commercially necessitated.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On first impression American viewers may regard Houseki no Kuni<\/em> as a Japanese take on creator Rebecca Sugar\u2019s popular cartoon series Steven Universe<\/em>. However, the reality may be the reverse as manga-ka Haruko Ichikawa\u2019s Houseki no Kuni<\/em> premiered in print a year before Steven Universe<\/em> premiered. Making the story about living crystalline immortals allowed Houseki no Kuni<\/em> to depict narrative turns impossible in more conventional stories. The crystal girls of Houseki no Kuni<\/em> can survive physical injuries that would kill human beings. Moreover, their fundamental psychology is different from that of human beings. Their isolated, communal, immortal nature makes them behave in ways that are a bit unexpected and contrary to human expectation, thereby making the show unpredictable and fascinating. Moreover, the sheer amount of physical and psychological trauma and evolution that protagonist Phos undergoes throughout the series is virtually incomprehensible for human beings. Even at centuries old, Phos is still the immature baby of the group. Her elder sisters indulge her infantile selfishness to a tragic degree, and as the tragedies Phos causes pile up, the guilt and sadness she endures is monumental, creating a change in her character that\u2019s completely natural and believable in the context of the show but drastically exceptional compared to typical anime. Houseki no Kuni<\/em> is arguably the finest anime of 2017 because it\u2019s ethereally and hauntingly beautiful visually, psychologically, and emotionally. The series is highly unpredictable, constantly surprising, and frequently heartbreaking. Its balance of humor and pathos is as delicate as the gem girls themselves. The frequent action scenes are deft and balletically fluid. The series unexpectedly introduces multiple complex and fascinating philosophical questions. The show\u2019s singular weakness, shared by nearly all of 2017\u2019s best anime, is a degree of compromise in the ending. With only 12 episodes, Houseki no Kuni<\/em> simply doesn\u2019t have enough time to answer its big, provocative questions. The series\u2019 final episode does a commendable job of consciously creating closure for the series, but viewers are invariably left wanting to know more of the series\u2019 story.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Like an anime cousin to 2016\u2019s intellectual sci-fi movie Arrival<\/em>, Seikaisuru Kado<\/em> is literally an anime about ideas, theory, and practical philosophy. It\u2019s a hard sci-fi tale depicting humanity\u2019s first encounter with an exponentially more advanced alien intelligence. When faced with the opportunity to mentally evolve instantaneously, humanity is forced to question whether it\u2019s humane enough to accept such a profound gift. Seikaisuru Kado<\/em> eschews violence and action in favor of debate, analysis, rational discussion, and scientific experimentation. It\u2019s a show that poses tremendous philosophical questions and asks the viewer, \u201cWhat would you do if you were in the situation?\u201d Unfortunately, as if intimidated by its own intellectual weight, the series climaxes by succumbing to convention, either by studio mandate or because screenwriter Mado Nozaki ran out of ideas. The highly intellectual show about political and philosophical compromise ends up relying on old-fashioned physical violence and a practical deus ex machina, a disappointing ending for such a high-minded program.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tonally on the polar opposite end of the scale, Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon<\/em> feels like KyoAni\u2019s effort to filter Nichijou<\/em> to a more mainstream audience. A slice-of-life comedy about a scenario that\u2019s anything but ordinary, Kobayashi\u2019s Maid Dragon<\/em> managed to hit just about every note and demographic perfectly. The show\u2019s tone is whimsical, charming, amusing, and soothing. It\u2019s easy and relaxing to watch yet never dull. It\u2019s a chamber piece comedy with exceptional animation quality. The show effortlessly appeals to mainstream viewers with its domestic sensibilities yet also appeals to hardcore otaku with its fantasy elements, esoteric asides, and laughably busty character Lucoa-san. And the dragon child Kanna may be one of the most adorable anime characters ever created. Once again, the show\u2019s prominent weakness is the fact that its penultimate episode feels like a series finale while its actual final broadcast episode seems as though it should have aired within the middle of the broadcast duration.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kuzu no Honkai<\/em> feels exactly like a cousin to 2013\u2019s Aku no Hana<\/em>. In the way that an anti-hero exhibits the characteristics of a protagonist in a contradictory way, \u201cScum\u2019s Wish\u201d is an anti-romantic anime. It\u2019s an unsettlingly intimate depiction of emotionally dysfunctional people whose unrequited loves lead to psychologically destructive behavior. The series frequently feels embarrassing, shocking, and disturbing to watch because it\u2019s so shamelessly graphic and emotionally visceral. The frank sexuality and honest angst on display within the series make watching the show akin to surreptitiously reading someone\u2019s private diary, making viewers feel like voyeurs peeping into the characters\u2019 deepest and darkest private secrets. The series is emotionally dark, uncomfortable, and deeply human, which makes it especially unique and exceptional compared to typical anime. Simultaneously disappointing and gratifying, the show\u2019s climax turns to a (relatively) happy ending. The tonal shift is a natural and believable turn of the plot, but it also feels nearly like a betrayal of the grim, ruinous psychology of the first half of the show. Had the characters not found a way to absolve themselves, the show could only have ended in disturbing psychopathy.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to also discuss a second tier of noteworthy 2017 anime, shows that narrowly missed the top five largely due to a single prominent weakness.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Re:Creators<\/em> launched promising to easily rank among the year\u2019s best shows. Throughout the series the art design and animation quality were exceptional. The show\u2019s characters and plot twists kept viewers around the globe on the edge of their seats, eagerly debating and analyzing the show online. However, after a pulse-pounding first ten episodes the series falls into a lull that it never fully recovers from. The extended climax reintroduces some of the show\u2019s grand action, but the final climactic moments feel a bit too abstract and a bit too generous. Furthermore, particularly in the middle of the series, the protagonist reveals a character flaw that\u2019s a bit too on-the-nose, and the show never quite gives a resolution the necessary attention for the character to fully recover his prominence. In effect, Re:Creators<\/em> has an astounding beginning, a weak middle, and an ending that\u2019s good but not great.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Gainax\u2019s Ryuu no Haisha<\/em> goes a long way toward reestablishing the studio\u2019s reputation for being creatively groundbreaking. The problem is that as a two-episode special the story development is neither concise nor comprehensive enough. If \u201cDragon Dentist\u201d had been a single feature film, it could have cut some extraneous narrative and focused. Had it been a full season series, it could have fleshed out and fully explained all of its plot points. But in the form it exists, it\u2019s a fascinating proof of concept that doesn\u2019t feel complete.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Although in a different way, Made in Abyss<\/em> rivals Kuzu no Honkai<\/em> as one of the year\u2019s most gut-wrenchingly affective programs. Made in Abyss<\/em>\u2019 claim to fame is its cute, child-like art design that belies the show\u2019s Fullmetal Alchemist<\/em> level of morose and grim plot development. Once all of its cards are on the table, the show is at once adorable and terrifying. Later episodes challenge viewers by daring to depict scenes and reveal tragic plot revelations that viewers would instinctively expect such a child-like show to exclude. Making viewers complicit in harsh moral choices that the characters have to face turns the show into emotional torture-porn. The show\u2019s biggest flaw is, again, its limited episode count. The anime is little more than a teasing prologue to the far longer manga story. Just as viewers finally begin to comprehend the full context of the show and its characters, the anime abruptly ends.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Unlike 1998\u2019s Steam Detectives<\/em>, which practically wasn\u2019t an aesthetic steampunk anime, and 2004\u2019s Steamboy<\/em> feature film which provided only a limited look at its steampunk world, Princess Principal<\/em> is the first anime to extensively immerse itself into the steampunk ecology. Taking cues from Madoka Magica<\/em>, the series\u2019 first two episodes introduce a cute and innocuous looking cast existing within a ruthless, unforgiving world. Unfortunately, with the notable exception of episode five, the show softens its harsh tone and drastically scales back its violence after the opening two episodes to such an extent that the standards which set the tone in the first two episodes are used as a surprise gimmick in episode ten. The show is consistently gorgeous looking, but the series\u2019 most elaborate and tense action scenes are mostly contained within the series\u2019 first half rather than building up to an amazing climax.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Uchouten Kazoku 2<\/em> & Kekkai Sensen & Beyond<\/em> demand mention despite lacking some of the originality of other mentioned titles. Neither series is entirely \u201cnew\u201d since they\u2019re both sequel seasons. But both shows surpass their excellent predecessors. Uchouten Kazoku 2<\/em> feels far more confident than its first season. The narrative is more focused with much less digression into tangents. The story development also surprises with multiple unexpected plot twists that feel entirely natural. Kekkai Sensen<\/em> second season dispenses with the overarching season plot, instead committing to an episodic development. The commitment allows the show to concentrate on its characters rather than splitting its focus as the first season did. As a result, Kekkai Sensen & Beyond<\/em> fully exploits the potential of its 2D medium to depict any and everything that would be practically impossible to render in live-action or even CG. Kekkai Sensen & Beyond<\/em> is simply a dozen episodes of unadulterated, exuberant, hyper-exaggerated anime fun.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On a final side note, my personal favorite broadcast anime of 2017 were: Hoozuki no Reitetsu<\/em> second season, Houseki no Kuni<\/em>, Kakegurui<\/em>, Kekkai Sensen & Beyond<\/em>, Kemono Friends<\/em>, Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon<\/em>, Little Witch Academia<\/em>, Made in Abyss<\/em>, Tsuki ga Kirei<\/em>, Uchouten Kazoku 2<\/em>, and Youjo Senki<\/em>.<\/p>\n
