'Yuri!!! On Ice' came out October, 6, 2016, it was so well received by audiences that there was no doubt that there would be a second season. 'Yuri!!! On Ice' would fall under the categories of drama, sports, and comedy. If you would like to read its description or watch it click here.

Moving on to some of the other nominees.
My personal favorite, 'Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress', is best described as a zombie/steampunk mashup. Instead of the creatures being called zombies they are called Kabane but the same zombie rules apply. If you're bitten you turn into one of them and have an insatiable desire to kill and eat humans. However, unlike zombies, the Kabane are much more difficult to kill. While you can chop off it's head or dismember it, the best way to kill a Kabane is by destroying it's heart, which just so happens to be surrounded by an iron cage.

Next up we have 'Mob Psycho 100', which is about a boy who has strong ESP and works with a fraud psychic. He's good at controlling his powers but not the best at understanding his emotions. When he's pushed too far and his emotions become too much for him, or reach "100% capacity" he loses control. Click here to read more.

You have a lot of great information with each post! My only comment would be that you add more visual to the posts so the text is split up more with imagery rather than just blank space.
