Best Anime of 2018 Deliberations Part 4

Published: Jan. 4, 2019, 7 a.m.

The 2018 Anime Year has come to a close and it’s time for the hosts of the Otaku Spirit Animecast to tackle the age old question of which is best. Join them in this 4 part series as they run through each genre, best of topics, seasonal picks, and finally the best of the year! Please note: Deliberation episodes are intended to be nearly unfiltered and lightly edited. These were recorded over hours of deliberations and, while a bit of dead air was removed, it may have points of silence. This isn’t a reflection of our typical podcast episodes that are heavily edited for better listening experience. Deliberations covered in this episode: Biggest Surprise, Best Girl, Best Boy, Cutest Character, Seasonal Picks, and Best of 2018. The opening for this episode is the OP2 for March Comes In Like A Lion 2 called “Haru ga Kite Bokura” by UNISON SQUARE GARDEN. The closing for this episode is the ED for SSSS GRIDMAN called “youthful beautiful” by Maaya Uchida. After the closing we play the Hungry Wolf song from Hinamatsuri sung by Anzu.
