So, who's best girl of the 2014 anime season?
My vote goes to Maki from Love Live S2. Though Enju from Black Bullet, Kawai from Bokura, Ayano from Mekaku, and Izana (despite not really being a girl) from Sidonia are also really good.
For those who are not watching anything this season, I posted my opinions of most of the shows airing this season in the comments. Inside the spoiler is just a repost of what I posted.
[spoiler]Bolded are shows I highly recommend. Italics are shows that are really good and have large fanbases, but I either don't like them that much or just don't think they are "amazing" or anything. But unless I say the show is shit in the description, it is probably worth watching.
I only did shows that I'm watching, and I also left off a couple "short" shows that are airing this season.
[url=http://myanimelist.net/anime/19429/Akuma_no_Riddle]Akuma no Riddle (Action)[/url] - Lesbian assassins try and kill one another in a school setting. Mediocre, but some of the girls are good.
[url=http://myanimelist.net/anime/20787/Black_Bullet]Black Bullet (Action, Drama)[/url] - Eren from SnK teams up with a cute loli to try and stop some big bugs. Another mediocre show, but the lolis are fun.
[url=http://myanimelist.net/anime/21405/Bokura_wa_Minna_Kawaisou][b]Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou (Comedy, Romance(?))[/b][/url] - Guy moves into a boarding house that happens to have some interesting people. It's really funny, the art style looks amazing, and the main girl is very cute. There are hints of romance but it is more of a comedy.
[url=http://myanimelist.net/anime/21677/Captain_Earth]Captain Earth (Mecha, Action)[/url] - Kid becomes a mecha pilot and stuff. It started off really strong, but it has gotten kind of boring. The characters are interesting, at least.
[url=http://myanimelist.net/anime/19163/Date_A_Live_II]Date a Live S2 (Harem, Action)[/url] - Guy needs to make these girls known as "spirits" fall in love with him. The first season was "decent" but this season has been absolute shit so far.
[url=http://myanimelist.net/anime/21273/Gochuumon_wa_Usagi_Desu_ka]Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka? (Comedy, Slice of Life)[/url] - Cute girls running a cafe. If you like "cute girls doing cute things" shows, it's a pretty good one.
[url=http://myanimelist.net/anime/21431/Gokukoku_no_Brynhildr]Gokukoku no Brynhildr (Action, Drama, Harem(?))[/url] - Guy finds a bunch of girls known as "witches" that have run away from some secret lab. It's written by the guy who did Elfen Lied. Honestly it is pretty shit, but the girls (Kazumi, at least) are good.
[url=http://myanimelist.net/anime/20853/Hitsugi_no_Chaika][i]Hitsugi no Chaika (Action, Drama)[/i][/url] - A guy and his sister find the daughter of the now-dead Emperor. They travel the country searching for her father's remains while being hunted down at the same time. It's pretty good, but the animation sorta looks like pretty bad.
[url=http://myanimelist.net/anime/21327/Isshuukan_Friends.][b]Isshuukan Friends. (Romance, Slice of Life)[[/b][/url] - A guy tries to be friends with a girl who loses her all her happy memories at the end of every week. It's a very good romance and slice of life show. It has some drama, but it is more of a "feel good" show.
[url=http://myanimelist.net/anime/19685/Kanojo_ga_Flag_wo_Oraretara]Kanojo ga Flag wo Oraretara (Harem, Shit)[/url] - A guy and his harem. One of the worst -blam!-ing shows I've ever watched, I regret ever starting it.
[url=http://myanimelist.net/anime/19111/Love_Live!_School_Idol_Project_2nd_Season]Love Live! School Idol Project 2nd Season (Music, Slice of Life)[/url] - A group of girls form an idol group. Overall the show is pretty mediocre but the girls are good.
[url=http://myanimelist.net/anime/20785/Mahouka_Koukou_no_Rettousei][i]Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei (Action, Drama[/i][/url] - Basically about a Magic highschool, but also involves some terrorists and stuff. It's a pretty good show and the magic system seems well developed. MC is incredibly OP, though.
[url=http://myanimelist.net/anime/21603/Mekakucity_Actors][i]Mekakucity Actors (Supernatural, Drama/Comedy)[/i][/url] - About a bunch of teenagers who all have a special "eye" power. It's a pretty good show, and the cast of characters are great.
[url=http://myanimelist.net/anime/21939/Mushishi_Zoku_Shou][b]Mushishi Zoku Shou (Drama, Fantasy)[/b][/url] - A man travels the country helping people with their problems, while also dealing with a supernatural phenomenon called "Mushi" at the same time. It's the second season of an absolutely amazing series. It is rather slow, but the atmosphere is perfect. Each episode tells a different story so they aren't really connected (besides the MC), but the writing in each episode is fantastic. My personal AOTS.
[url=http://myanimelist.net/anime/19815/No_Game_No_Life][i]No Game No Life (Comedy, Fantasy) [/i][/url]- Two siblings who are very good at games get stuck in a world that revolves around games. It's pretty funny, and most would say it is the best show this season. I personally don't think it's [i]that[/i] good, but it's worth watching.
[url=http://myanimelist.net/anime/22135/Ping_Pong_The_Animation][b]Ping Pong The Animation (Sports, Drama)[/b][/url] - A show about people playing ping pong, all with their own motivations. I'm not a big fan of sports anime, but this show is absolutely amazing. The characters are all written very well. The animation style takes some getting used to, but I personally think it looks amazing.
[url=http://myanimelist.net/anime/21561/Ryuugajou_Nanana_no_Maizoukin_(TV)]Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin (TV) (Comedy, Adventure)[/url] - Treasure hunting and cute girls. The drama is pretty boring but the characters and comedy are fun.
[url=http://myanimelist.net/anime/21033/Seikoku_no_Dragonar]Seikoku no Dragonar (Ecchi, Comedy)[/url] - Dragons, lolis, and dragon lolis. This show sucks but the girls are fun.
[url=http://myanimelist.net/anime/22273/Selector_Infected_WIXOSS][b]Selector Infected WIXOSS (Drama)[/b][/url] - A show about girls who play a card game, all trying to become an "Eternal Girl" to have a wish fulfilled. Don't let the "card game" fool you -- it is a very good show, with lots of suffering. It is pretty much Madoka Magica except with card games instead of magical girls.
[url=http://myanimelist.net/anime/19775/Sidonia_no_Kishi][b]Sidonia no Kishi (Mecha, Drama)[/b][/url] - The remnants of humanity try and survive in space while defending themselves against alien monsters known as "Gauna" (which are basically like the Flood from Halo, sorta). This show is incredibly good. It uses CGI though, so the animation takes some getting used to, but it is one fo the best shows this season.
[url=http://myanimelist.net/anime/22101/Soredemo_Sekai_wa_Utsukushii]Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii (Romance, Comedy)[/url] - Generic shoujo that is really boring. The main guy and main girl are kinda funny, but it isn't my cup of tea. If you like romances made for teenage girls maybe you'll like it.[/spoiler]
