Playing up my OCD love for lists for the third year in a row.

Like before, this thread is for everyone to look back at the shows and movies of 2013 and discuss what stood out as being the most impressive for you.

A couple quick notes:

Personally, for 2013 series I'm counting anything that aired a new episode this year: Gobusters, Kyoryuger. Akibaranger 2, Wizard, Gaim, Garo: The One Who Shines in the Darkness, Ultraman Ginga, Power Rangers Megaforce, Shougeki Gouraigan, and anything else that I don't remember or know about.

For movies I'm counting anything that came out this year (the new Garo movies, Superhero Taisen Z, Kyoryuger the Musical, etc.) as well as anything that came out last year but wasn't available as a dvd/fansub until this year (Movie Wars Ultimatum, the Fourze movie, etc.). If you want to include stuff like the new Movie Wars or the Wizard move that hasn't been available for viewing outside of Japan yet, go ahead.
