15. Rokka no Yuusha
https://myanimelist.net/anime/28497/Rokka_no_Yuusha

If there was a surprising show of 2015 it was this one. Originally set up like an action show it turns into a type of whodunit mystery with one of the more eclectic casts so far. The story is about the demon gods return and as legend tells six warriors called the braves of the six flowers must journey to defeat him. However, a seventh brave appears so one of them is a fake.

As far as mystery shows go, Rokka no Yuusha is one of the better ones. It's a story of changing alliances and the likely culprit changes just as often. In fact, a good portion of the cast actually have enough motive to be the fake which is something that keeps it interesting. It doesn't always have the cleanest transitions, but it does a good job at creating doubt.

The cast consists of, to like no surprise, 7 central characters as they try to find the fake and also maintain their own innocence. While not all of them have an equal stake it does feature a couple of decent characters, primarily Adlet Mayer and waifu candidate Fremy Speeddraw. Adlet himself is among the prime candidates to be the 7th and basically takes the role as the outsider or unknown of the group. Fremy is basically a emo girl that has some great hair.

Animation wise the art is pretty good but the actual animation is kind of lacking in spots. It's clear that if they wanted to make an action show that they would have struggled a bit to do so. In any case Rokka no Yuusha sold extremely poorly meaning that it's never going to get a second season despite having enough content to make this into a long running show.
