The summer 2016 season was filled with promising shows, but these five stood out for their unique takes on genres, meaningful commentary, and plenty of goofy fun.
Though we love ongoing shows like JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable, they are not eligible for this list. To qualify for this list, the anime must have completed its season.
While Re:Zero starts out with the all-too-familiar trope of an otaku magically finding himself in a fantasy world, it quickly sets itself apart by adding depth to the genre. Natsuki Subaru not only respawns after dying, he remembers the trauma of death, and he therefore acts less than ideally… or admirably. He’s not an especially likable character, but he’s believable, and his self-appointed hero’s journey through a new land is unpredictable and captivating. Through him and the rest of the excellent cast, Re:Zero points its lens squarely at the genre and at the viewer, examining tropes all while building to something highly emotional and memorable.
