anime in the last year that amazed you with art or animation

Nothing "stood out" as uniquely "special" for me actually, although I have witnessed several new shows I sure enjoyed.

I guess the "style" used is not as important to me as the smile factor.
If it makes me smile, job done.

Kara no Kyoukai has a few scenes with amazing animation, but overall it's annoying to see this amazingly animated scenes and then a totally unlovely animated scene :/

Macross Frontier's CG has impressed me the most.

Ef is stylish, not so much animation as such. More of the way it presents itself more than the actual technicalities of these presentations.

I still stand by what I said. While ef may be pretty as such, with some lovely masking scenes and lots of glowing shiny stuff, KnK doesn't even need to rely on that as it has characters with much better proportions, more realistic movements and more highly detailed background art.

In short, KnK doesn't even need to rely on effects to blow me away with its stunning animation, whereas ef, while pretty, uses a lot of other techniques to achieve the same result.

What? Kara no Kyoukai is animated poorly and looks just like every other shitty cartoon from Japan.
