Not a bad list, I think. Six of them I saw and enjoyed, one I still have to finish and one is on my to-be-watched list. Most of the ones I haven't seen are just not my taste.

Based on my preferences, I would have liked to see Gate Season Two, Drifters and All Out!! make this list as well.

Any of your 2016 favourites not on the list?

Seen some of those here and there, though out of them, been watching Ajin S2 on a daily basis more recently. Great show.

I just got the first season to check out. Looking forward to it!

@carver9

For some reason I never got into One Punch Man. Only watched one episode, though, so maybe I'll give it another try some time. As for Dragonball - after I watched Hunter X Hunter and Fairy Tail I just never felt like getting into another anime with hundreds of episodes again.

First 3 eps are slow-ish. Picks up at ep 4, stick with it, you won't regret it.

OPM was 2015 tho.

Surprised Konosubarashi isn't there. Funny anime. Re: Zero is good if you're willing to overlook the overacting characters.

1: Haikyuu!!: Karasuno Koukou VS Shiratorizawa Gakuen Koukou (Haikyu!! 3rd Season)

These are the series I'm currently following, maybe except for Durarara, still stuck with one of previous prequels. The majority of anime on the list I have known about, but these are the one I watched for 2016. Sinbad series is meh for me, I rather wait for Magi s3 to come out. Natsume probably a series I'll watch forever, its nice and calming environment. Food Wars suffer a little this s2 and I just recently finished Snow White anime, going to start the 2nd season soon, same with s2 Gundam down the line.

AuraAngel
Magi s3 probably won't come out if Sinbad is continuing to do well. His story is more traditional Shonen stuff and it centers on the most popular character in Magi.

But hey if it makes you feel better Sinbad could beat all these guys in a fight with more ease than Saitama.

vansonbee
Its not that I dislike it, it feels predictable. Since, I'm also following the main series manga XD

AuraAngel
To be fair a new season of Sinbad would get to focus on the really meaty parts that make the manga go from good to great. Sinbad becoming a slave and his failure to conquer Zepar are immensely important since, at least as far as the first anime goes, he basically is an utterly unstoppable badass bordering on Mary Sue.

But I agree. I really want to see Alma Toran and Hakuryuu's actions get adapted as well.
