Another year down and it's time to dust off this little tradition once more and look back at the shows and movies of the past year and discuss what stood out as being the most impressive.

As always, for releases of this year I'm counting any series that aired any episodes during 2015, including: ToQGer, Kamen Rider Drive, Power Rangers Dino Charge, Ninninger, Kamen Rider Ghost, Garo Gold Storm, Ultraman X, Shin Kanpai Senshi After V and anything else that I've either forgotten or not heard of.

And again, for movies I'm counting anything that came out this year as well as anything that came out last year but wasn't available as a dvd/fansub until this year. If you want to include stuff that hasn't been available for viewing outside of Japan yet but you're pretty sure is going to be really, really awesome, go ahead.
