          I watched a solid bit into the show and hit some points that just didn’t hit with me at the time. I’ve been told it gets past that and becomes even better, but I just haven’t felt the motivation to return to watching it. I felt like I got the general vibe from the series enough as is from what I saw.

          That being said, some folks say it may be the best anime of the year and I know people seriously adore it, so I’d probably say to anyone reading this comment that they might want to check it out too!

    From your list, I really enjoyed I’m in Love with the Villainess, Sacrificial Princess, Magical Revolution, and Buddy Daddies. Zom100, Overtake, and Yuri is My Job were on the decent tier. I didn’t watch Pluto or Ooku, so can’t comment on those. However, Helk was really the one show that I tried so hard to like, but it just couldn’t fully get there. I really enjoyed the beginning few episodes, and even the whole flashback arc that a lot of people despised. But after the flashbacks were over, it seemed like they lost their way and tried to do too much and be too many different things. The whole reason the bad guys did everything didn’t make any sense (who is farming or making food or providing services in this kingdom?) but I did appreciate the underlying positive message. Maybe now that they’ve set everything else up, a S2 would be more consistent. I’ll still give it a chance if they make more.

    For me, my favorite 10 shows this year are probably (in no particular order)

    Heavenly Delusion

    Tomo Chan is a Girl

    Ruroni Kenshin

    Apothecary Diary

    The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses

    Dark Gathering

    100 girlfriends Who Really Love You

    Undead Girl Murder Farce

    Sacrificial Princess

    Hell’s Paradise

    Frieren is still running, otherwise it’d be on here too. Undead Unluck was a serious contender too. That show is a lot of fun.

      Lots of other excellent shows on your list, just got around to watching The Apothecary Diaries myself and it would have been a serious contender for a top 10 spot had I just had time to get to it in particular.

    Idc if it counts as anime, Blue-eyed Samurai was amazing.

    Also, Undead Unluck is a lot of fun, and Jujutsu Kaisen has some of the best fight scenes ever animated.

      I’m so sad that Undead Unluck got stuck in Hulu jail, it’s such a good show but so few people I know have even seen it or seem to know it exists…

      You see, this is a cool thing where someone starts a discussion with their thoughts on anime and hopefully other folks interested share their thoughts too! It’s this thing we do on social media, not sure why you think it’s a joke?

      Unless you just think my taste in anime is trash, then all the power to you! But in that case, complain and share your own top 10 and add to the discussion. Maybe someone with similar tastes will enjoy what they see, ya know?
