Here's my little principal components analysis for this year. Not sure how helpful it is this year since Mob and Kaguya kinda ran away with it.

shockingly the internet forum thats mostly old japanese nerds liked the anime that was mostly 80s/90s video game nostalgia

edit: also iunno if hi score girl 2 covered the ending but i wanted to say that the ending of hi score girl is absolutely incredible

they do the 'the girl is getting onto the plane that takes her away and the guy is rushing to make it before she leaves because hes had a last minute burst of courage, but what happens is that the spirit of guile from street fighter flash kicks the plane to cause wing damage that forces it to land almost immediately after taking off which buys the protagonist time to make it before she leaves

They got to the ending. And yes. That happens.

Coming from not having any knowledge of the manga, I really, really enjoyed Demon Slayer.

The music was pretty good, and it has some incredible animation, especially in fights.

The pacing is weird in spots, and the sobbing guy was annoying, but overall I really liked it.

Shame that when I googled to see if it had a 2nd season announced, I found out that the animation studio behind it is millions of yen in debt for like back taxes or something. Apparently there's a movie coming out, but nothing on a 2nd season for the show.

It'd be really too bad if the show isn't continued.

Other shows I enjoyed, in no particular order:

Rising of the Shield Hero
Reincarnated as a Slime
Dr. Stone
Kaguya Sama

Based on the popularity of Demon Slayer and the massive spike in volume sales due to the anime, I'd be shocked if it didn't get a season 2 down the line.

If another studio picked it up, I wonder how big an effect that would have on the animation style? That's what impressed me the most about the whole show, was the use of colors and contrast in the fight scenes.

Especially (episode 19 spoilers) when Tanjiro used Dance for the Fire God on the spiderkid.. Probably the most impressed I've been by a fight scene's animation quality in a long, long time.

E: Also, I was in stitches at the credits of Kaguya-sama ep. 3. Totally out of left field, but hilarious all the same.
