The main difference between this and my 2012 list is that there's now 20 percent more anime.
Thank you for inviting me to vote - it was a real thrill to be asked again. I had the privilege of writing for the magazine between 2000-2007 and have read every issue since my first in 1994 (I'll never forget the Fred Flintstone cover).
