Hard to choose best,
SOL: NNB, Tamayura, Minami-ke
Comedy: Noucome, Servant x Service
Plot: Uchouten Kazoku, Chihayafuru
Short: Teekyu s3

Worst: SNK. Don't get me wrong, the manga has a unique setting and is a decent read, but the anime was fucking terrible. Shit pacing, quality and animation for the majority with 6min recaps. People are hyping/ recommending this shit way too much just because it has some gore and shit.
It is not AS bad but similar to Elfen lied

Most disappointing: Futari wa Milky Holmes. Jesus christ way to ruin a fun series. 'The serious ovas aren't selling well!' 'Let's make a serious series where the main cast barely fucking show up!' 'Great idea!' and then it bombed almost as hard as KMB.
Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi. First 3 eps made it seem promising but it just all went downhill after

Best OST:
NNB and Tamayura both had very soothing osts that fit it's theme.
Uchouten also had a great ost, personally loved Gin+Kin character songs whenever they showed up.
Monogatari, loved Kaiki's theme songs and his OP grew on me. Hanakana's Delusion Express was probably best op.
Chihayafuru 2, like the first season, had a great ost that gets everyone excited about Japanese card games.
SNK, despite all the shit in the anime that almost made me drop it, the music always got me pumped up. All those parodies of first op were fun too

oh the bias in this one is unreal, and please don't speak for the rest of us..... a person who reads the manga before watching the series are normally more picky than others when it comes to the anime... i'm pretty sure more than 80% of the people who watch snk haven't read the manga ahead of time, therefore we judge it solely based on the storyline/plot rather than watching it to compare it to the manga like you have appeared to do...

i thought the timing was good, but i agree with you on the 6 minute recaps, no one likes those.....the pacing was pretty nice for a person who has never read the manga. it made the climax/reveals more shocking although some of it could've been trimmed down a bit.

and no, i don't like it because it has "some gore and shit." I could care less that it has gore. I like anime based on plot quality/potential

All those hostile assumptions. Are you mad I flamed your favourite anime or something?
First off, this was my opinion and not "speaking for the rest of us", and I can think and say what I want. For more information, refer to sig.
I personally prefer anime over manga, whether I watch or read first. That doesn't mean I like all adaptations, because sadly, most are shit. But when it's done right, anime can be a lot better than the manga, recent examples, JoJo, Chihayafuru, Minami-ke, Henneko, SYD.
Now SNK manga has a lot of flaws, which isn't surprising since it is the author's first work, shitty scribble art, bad perspective/ body proportions, can barely tell genders apart in earlier chapters. You shouldn't even bother comparing it to the manga and the people who read it before it aired were hyped, saying it will be the manga but with good art, but the anime was shit. Shit pacing, huge amounts of stills not even including recaps and almost as much QUALITY as psycho-pass. Apart from the pacing, the other points are objective facts because even the fucking studio apologized for the shit quality since they had a low budget. You can tell how much outsourcing they did when you look at the credits and see 10-20 Nguyens.
Also the majority of eps ended with cliffhangers, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Was one of the few things they did right, end on a cliffhanger so that people don't remember the shitty ep but want to watch the next one to find out what happens next.
You are one out of many hundred thousand, possibly even a million people who watched SNK and just because you could care less that it has gore doesn't mean everyone else did. I personally know quite a few people who watched and liked SNK because "depressing feel, gore and blood, titans, fighting, it's awesome cuz titans etc" this included people who never watched anime and always laughed saying lol tentacle porn/ hentai.
As for plot it really isn't much and the manga isn't that far ahead, it is literally, 'kill the titans, I'm a titan, try to go to basement, other people are titans, walls are titans, try to go to basement' it also has quite a few plotholes.
I think you're mixing plot and setting up. The titan setting was unique, if it had been replaced with something like vampires which the author had thought about, it probably would've gotten a lot more flak for all the issues in the anime.
