[Zasz]

Hai to Gensou no Grimgar started slow, but it gave me some nice surprises here and there that made it more enjoyable toward the end.
Hence my vote goes to this series.

 

[Jammin]

I'm going Grimgar too.

I actually like KonoSuba better overall, but in terms of being a sleeper series I feel like Grimgar was more under the radar. Going in, I definitely wasn't expecting that show to be as good as it was.

 

[Nii]

Yeah, Grimgar looked like it could be an interesting show, but I didn't expect it to be that good either. Maybe the most realistic "Starting over in another world" show I've seen. A bit slow at times, but I really appreciated that we got "average" guys/girls who go through the obvious troubles if you're suddenly in another world. Maybe not enough flashy action and cool powers for the usual people, but instead we got realistic humans and a story that actually tackles mature topics in a believable way. Would really like another season.

 

[Arjuna]

Going with Konosuba here.

 

[Temperance]

Konosuba isn't a flop, it's an unseen pretty good anime so I'm going with it

 

[Lambu]

Mob Psyco took me by surprise, it surprised me even more than OPM (maybe because I didn`t read the manga before) so there goes my vote.

 

[Arjuna]

Going with Konosuba here again.

 

[Sky]

And... the winner of Best Sleeper Hit of 2016 is...

Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!

Congratulations!
