Rules: AOTS is counted on the season it finishes at, as it makes no sense to put it where it starts as the work is not finished during that season I choose 3 AOTS, first entry is AOTS and the runner ups I started watching seasonal stuff at Fall 2010 Anime of the Year is taken from one of these, could include runner ups I haven't watched everything, I watched over 600 series in a decade gimme a fucking break guys

I started watching anime during Fall 2010. I've watched some stuff here and there from the earlier seasons, so unfortunately there's not much to say. A lot of stuff wins by default for being the only thing I watched there
https://anichart.net/Fall-2010 AOTS: Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai, Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, MM!
Anime of the year 2010: Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin, Angel Beats a close second, with OreImo being 3rd
Rainbow was nothing short of incredible. While Angel Beats did bring in the feels, so did Rainbow and way better. OreImo gets an easy 3rd for being a rather important piece of work of that time
https://anichart.net/Spring-2011 AOTS: Hen Zemi (TV), Gosick, Deadman Wonderland Last one basically wins by default due to having nothing else to put. Wasn't terribly good, but was memorable. Everyone saw that fucking show lol. Lots of stuff started that season, but not a lot of stuff ended, so hard picks
Hen Zemi was easy #1, I've still haven't seen anything else like it
Chuunibyou had one of the best goddamn ending to a series I've ever seen. It's a complete shame Kyoani came with a very mediocre S2
I'm gonna go ahead and recognize Sword Art Online as an important work. Might've been in top 3 if it wasn't for the shitastic part 2 villain.
Shout out to Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, Btooom! and Nekomonogatari (Kuro)
Lemon awards goes to the oddly loved K. Wasn't that terrible per say, but it's a show that tease you with a plot it's not giving you and it ended up being relatively ungraceful about it despite being more style than substance. Boo
We're gonna have one hell of a start in 2013...
AOTY: Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita, Nisemonogatari, Tasogare Otome x Amnesia
