Honorable mentions:
  • Seijo no Maryoku wa Bannon desu: This one makes it in almost entirely because the color pallet is pretty albeit overly vivid. Generally fine as a relaxing watch, but otherwise not really anything special.
  • Back Arrow: Mecha-ish series with the right amount of ridiculous background metaphysics.
  • Horimiya: Despite all of the problems of adapting this particular series, I generally enjoyed these two goofballs. I know some people were unhappy about certain things that came over from the source material, but overall a reasonable adaptation of a solid romcom.
  • Yuru Camp: Comfy. I liked that they went back to show some of Shimarin's experiences which drew in some things that we saw in season 1
Top 5
  1. Jujutsu Kaisen: Probably the best shonen series I've seen in a while. I unfortunately forgot to pick up the manga after the hiatus so I'm pretty behind on that.
  2. 86: Interesting dystopia with a good cast of characters with their own internal conflicts on how to handle the world around them.
  3. Shin no Nakama: Another fun pair of dorks trying their best to not get involved with the usual fantasy hero/demon king shenanigans so that they can sell some drat drugs (i.e. run an apothecary). The assassin and her spider own.
  4. Kumoko: The Aoi Yuuki show. The animation quality was very spotty with any CG that wasn't Kumoko looking pretty bad. That said, I went into the series for the Aoi Yuki monologuing and was not disappointed in this regard. The interchanges between Kumoko and D were particularly amusing... JIBAKU
  5. Love Live! Superstar!!: Cutting the cast down gave a lot more time for individual character development which was somewhat of a problem in the previous 9 member format.
