I honestly only watched a few shows from this year. But I think they were good enough for a top 5 list. Let's do this.

5. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure ~Golden Wind~: Not the best part, but it has some super memorable fights. And David Productions continues to bring their A-game. It could've made top 5 just on production values and voice acting alone. Also, the last part of the manga I've read, so I need to catch up.

4. Lord El-Melloi II's Case Files ~Rail Zeppelin Grace Note~: Fate is my jam, and it is nice to see Waver again. Also Inori Minase does a great ojou. Holy poo poo. I didn't think I'd like Reines as much as I did.

3. Kaguya-sama Love is War: I think Can of Worms put it best. A romcom in the vein of Death Note, and it's hilarious. I didn't expect much coming into it since I never read the manga, and you can easily miss with this kind of premise. But I'm glad it lived up to the hype.

2. Attack on Titan S3P2: I was never an AoT "true believer". I watched the first season a year and a half later than everyone else, and while I enjoyed it, I didn't consider it the godsend that a lot of people did. In fact, I kind of forgot about it until earlier this year when I had nothing to watch and figured I'd play catch up. The show had me by the balls by the end of the second season, and I binged the rest of it. The show has seriously payed off so far, and here's hoping they stick the landing.

1. Mob Psycho 100 S2: My number one for the year, and for those who read the Anime of the Decade thread, my AotD. I can understand why some people say it didn't hit them as hard as season one, but for me, I found it to be even better. It is the most wholesome shounen series I've ever watched.

Honorable Mentions: Isekai Quartet, Kakegurui XX, Beastars

Shows I Haven't Watched but Probably Should Based on This Thread: Dumbells, Machikado Mazoku

Also, holy crap, there was a Boogiepop & Others series this year? Is it any good? I loved the original anime and read a couple of the novels.

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.
