Time to get myself noticed, I guess. Here is my top 10 favorite anime of this year which doesn’t include second seasons (ie: Tokyo Ghoul) and continuing from 2014 (ie: Yona of the Dawn). I will add in the () of who licensed the anime and sadly none of these (at the time of this post) has been dubbed
10: Ushio and Tora (Sentai Filmworks)
9: Anti-Magic Academy: 35th Test Platoon (not licensed but wish it was)
