Each season dozens of anime air, but only a few come out on the top as contenders for the best anime of the year. From classics getting a second chance to a new trio’s struggle for survival, 2019 had a lot to offer for anime.

For IGN’s best anime series award, anime must have completed airing their season in the U.S. in 2019 in order to be eligible. This means My Hero Academia’s fourth season will be up for consideration in 2020.
