Ended up watching a bunch of stuff this year after mostly being out of anime outside of a show here and there for a decade. 1. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners: I went in expecting Trigger style and over the top gore/tits but I was pleasantly surprised when it told a well-written, heartwrenching tale about trying to make it in a horrifying, rigged society. Loved these characters. 2. Chainsaw Man: I get why some of the reaction is lukewarm on this, but taking the manga (which grabbed me and I enjoyed, even as someone who's not super into manga) and doing a more muted, film-like adaptation was exactly my poo poo. I live for stuff like lovingly animated, minutes-long sequences of a morning routine. 3. Bocchi the Rock: I loved how much of a love letter to rock music and the people that love it this is, and I was constantly delighted by the genre and medium breaking sequences. Consistently awesome and funny. 4. Akiba Maid War: I lucked out and went into this 100% blind on positive buzz, so they got me with the first episode. The deadpan commitment to the bit is funny, but this show lands on the back of strong writing that balances being a crime drama and a situational comedy incredibly well. 5. Lycoris Recoil: The plot in this is ridiculous, but I was invested because of the magnetic cast and wonderful fight sequences. Honorable mentions: Kaguya-sama S3, Birdie Wing, My Dress-Up Darling, Do It Yourself!, 86 S2
