Tales games are about hanging out with cool animes and Berseria has the best cast and constantly gives you interesting and varied hangout moments. It also plays a trick where your actions can be seen as heroic or villainous depending on which perspective you take, and it's really impressive that it managed this while still having forward momentum. Good game

You're not the only one, lol. That's largely a source material problem, as the manga got indulgent, dense, and hard to follow at this point. The arc had a significantly worse reputation until the anime, where it was slow but at least you had a reasonable chance of actually understanding it. I do love it a lot tho

lol, I started out with a list of my favorite anime from each year so it ended up as a fairly even spread. here's a breakdown because I'm a big nerd:

2010: 2
2011: 3
2012: 2
2013: 2
2014: 4
2015: 2
2016: 2
2017: 3
2018: 4
2019: 1

so that's a slight trend overall towards older (2010-14) shows vs newer, 13 to 12. in the top ten that's reversed, 2015-19 wins 6 to 4. there's a little concentration in 2017-18, offset by only one show from 2019. nothing significant I feel.

I will say I'm being a weirdo by putting Beastars on the list as that show hasn't even finished airing, but I fucking love Beastars. I knew I was either going to overrate or underrate it by ranking it now so I decided to aim high.
