OVA and 2nd seasons are merged with the original series. Examples: "Jormungand/Perfect Order" and "Hiiro no Kakera/2nd season".
Chuunibyou takes it as the number 1 series for me this year.
I'll do a top 5, so the next 4, in order, are:
- Sword Art Online
- Hyouka
- Yuru Yuri season 2
- Kokoro Connect
I would put Little Busters! in there but the series hasn't finished yet. Black Rock Shooter and Amagami SS+ Plus were awesome as well.
As for manga, it would be It's Not My Fault That I'm Not Popular!
5. Mysterious Girlfriend X
4. Tsuritama
3. Nisemonogatari
2. Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai!
1. Fate/Zero Season 2
Honorable mentions
Sakamichi no Apollon
Hyouka
Ano Natsu de Matteru
Another
Sankarea
Daily Lives of High School Boys
Tasogare Otome x Amnesia
and Nekomonogatari, because even if the subs aren't out yet, it came out this year and it's going to be awesome anyway.
As for manga, the only thing I read that actually started this year was MOLESTER MAN, so I guess that one wins my vote.
Wound up choosing Tari Tari. It was a well-paced and self-contained original work. Most of the other good stuff were adaptations like Horizon (in Chuu2's case, it's more like an alteration).
Voted for the Steins;Gate OVA since it was months ago that I've started and finished watching the anime.
My other favourites would be Sword Art Online, Psycho-Pass and Sankarea.
I would like to watch Chuunibyou, Hyouka, Accel World, Fate/Zero and Papa no Iukoto when there's time.
