| Probably Love is War, Promised Neverland (S1), Moriarty the Patriot. Love is War is just an insanely good Romcom in a setting that I've never really experienced before. It's basically a thriller of sorts. That, Grand Blue and KonoSuba are 3 shows that I actually burst out in laughter to. Promised Neverland is just a heart wrenching story that I could really connect to. A really creative premise and clear objective from the get go. Didn't put a foot wrong. Moriarty the Patriot, well I'm kind of biased since I'm a huge mystery buff, but IMO it's objectively a really good anime. Sort of makes you think about different points of view and brings out a lot of the issues with monarchy and just the idea of societal hierarchy. Those are basically most of my 10s, but a lot of my 9s and 8s are my favourites too. It would go on forever though, so I'll stop here. |

| Neon Genesis Evangelion (og series + EoE). Far from being a perfect anime (don't even need to touch on production problems), i don't think there's any other fictional work in general that ever strucked me emotionally like NGE and especially EoE did. Talking about more recent anime i think Tatami Galaxy take the cake (then the other recent Yuasa work, Devilman: Crybaby, is great too, but i think my enjoyment of it has been affected a bit by having read the Devilman manga way before, and while it was a good adaptation and actualization i had some problem with how fast the last part of the story was adapted, i think it needed at least a couple episodes more, but i understand Yuasa's intention and thematic was tangent but not exactly the same as Nagai's so i guess it's ok) |

| I like anime revolving around economics, game theory, innovation, entrepreneurship, and science. A smattering of comedy, action, horror, and slice of life supplement my viewing. 1. Toradora: This is the king of romance-drama anime, and has had profound influence. The interactions between characters are very hyper-realistic at times, and offer us a scope into the complexities of relationships, and how breakdown in communication and open and honest discussion can cause unnecessary complications; however, it's these very types complication that are inevitable and part of both the human experience and maturation. The MCs have elevated their love interests to such a level that, throughout most of the runtime, they can't even realize that the relationships that they think they want aren't even right for them, learning that relationships form naturally – not forcibly. Truly, if you want to watch a romance drama, this should provide the best experience. 2. Ascendance of a Bookworm: I think this actually is probably my favorite anime, on the basis that both seasons so far are consistently the highest-caliber quality and production value, with zero fluff and focused substance. Myne is self-pressured, by her passion for reading, into entrepreneurial pursuits to innovate on typographic technology, as there is a lack of printed works available to non-elites at the time; this is the setup for possibly the best isekai anime to ever grace the screen. The painstaking processes that she adopts in order to produce books at scale in an automated fashion are both entertaining and educational. Not only that, it touches on topics such as frustrating, unfair sociopolitical hierarchies and classist attitudes / customs, which act as a source of conflict for Main. She eventually must adapt and form a certain philosophy on fairness and economic work that doesn't infringe on existing church and state conventions. I can't recommend this anime enough. 3. Chihaya: Rarely can I classify someone as the epitome of passion; Chihaya is painted as this kind of uncommonly devoted person, an unusual archetype that hides in plain sight in real life. It's weird, in that the anime screenwriters take their time in showcasing the intricacies of karuta as a sport and competitive art – thus endearing this as a "sports" anime –, though at the same time it is also a sophisticated josei and romance work that respects the intelligence of its audience and remains informative and funny throughout. She views Arata as a key figure in her life, even though they grow apart, and characterizes his playing ability as "godlike" in speed and accuracy; however, she's too socially inept and narrow-minded on becoming Queen to realize that Arata and Taichi share a strong romantic interest in her. As part of her love and progression in competitive karuta, she forms unconventional and unlikely comradery with others at her school and abroad, in which they experience common goals, ardor, and learning through karuta performance and practice. Even the current Queen, Shinobu, is taken by her charm and friendliness, opening up to the idea of social interaction with peers after years of isolation. Despite almost a complete pedagogic failure, her impressive studious nature flourishes in the presence of karuta and competition, which infects almost everyone else around her, slinging them toward success of their goals. Taichi, humiliated by his past actions, must work to reconcile this disgrace, making him the most complex character. Arata, whose Meiji grandfather dies in a relapsed stroke, blames himself for this loss, all the more cutting for the fact that it occurs during a tournament he enters; thus, he's far from one-dimensional as well. Subsidiary characters all have backstories exposited and their motivations explored, and even those who seem, on the surface level, shallow and pretentious, begin to admire her and dynamically evolve – the majority of imperative characters, in fact, are quite dynamic, in reverence also to the fact that a growth mindset is necessary in order to remain effectively rivalrous in the meta. As time wears on, characters realize that things, including teams and relationships, don't last forever due to rebalancing priorities, and there's a dread for endings and a desire to best utilize the time given until those endings start to materialize. Every episode is titled based on one of the Hundred Poets' works, nearly always related to the episode's nucleus. A fourth season is needed to complete the 100 poems and provide resolution to the love triangle, and the massive cliffhanger at end of season 3. 4. Spice & Wolf: You can learn about macro and game theory and have a good experience at the same time! Even if you aren't the most academically-inclined person, the anime provides a discussion on scholastic topics in a reasonably accessible way. The brains of the show is its exploration into economic concepts as well as how people make decisions, particularly financial ones; while the soul is the snarky relationship between the two MCs – a traveling salesman (Lawrence) and a wolf-like deity (Holo) in hominid form. Main conflicts between them and malicious actors, bent on manipulating markets and outcomes, necessitate that they assess situations critically and cleverly, with a rationalist's approach to excogitation, in line with the show's primary catalyst – books detailing the development of capital systems in the 11th-17th centuries, like Gold and Spice (1998). These conflicts, however, are deftly exercised to act as broader backdrops to the microcosm of tension between the two MCs, and they ultimately test their bond and influence the outcome of their friendship. The twists and dramatic turns eventually lead to a climactic conclusion describing Holo's response and revelation to her homeland's fate. There's nothing in the anime literature quite like this anime. 5. My Next Life As a Villainess: I know, weird that I have a second show about A Different World, though hear this out; this show is another one that is entirely unique in its sphere. Unlike other shows, this one features a MC who's largely oblivious, maladroit, and magically and physically impotent. Catarina is not an OP magic user or sword fighter like in How Not to Summon, SAO, or Kuma x3 Bear, even though she's born into the juvenile body of an aristocrat. The show, beyond this, deviates from expectations in another very interesting way, given that the context is she must live in a very multiplex and punctilious simulation of an Ootome, or Dating Game, in which the heroine is actually an anti-hero doomed to die in almost every exhaustively-delineated series of events. In other words, all route lead to doom, and certain red flags indicate the increased likelihood of a negative route taken is pointing toward doom for the heroine. Catarina is familiar with the game from her previous life. To navigate and circumvent these horrible fates, Catarina constantly over-evaluates potential flags in fear, conducts an internal review amongst the many voices in her head, in a counsel-like assembly of frantic meditations, and actively compensates to avoid triggering her doom. As an unintended consequence, she ironically treats every important "conquerable" character with such niceness and reverence that they come to admire her deeply: her apparent magnanimous nature attracts the royal Geordo; her shared love for reading helps her bond with the otherwise ostracized albino Sophia; she supports Alan's expressive piano craft, opening him up to personal connection and intimacy. So this is undoubtedly a reverse harem (an peculiar one) as well. Most importantly, her interaction with Maria is central to the theme of the anime: that, even though Maria is a commoner, Catarina treats her with the same dignity that she would show any noble, when others condemn her existence. Taken critically, the show's commentary on the value of friendship and the conduct towards others argues that demonstrating kindness or empathy can have unimagined positive consequences on the lives for others. 6. Quintessential Quintuplets: My preferred (non-reverse) harem, QQ and QQ∫∫ center around a high-performing academic high school student, Fuutarou, teaching quintuplets so that they won't fail their exams or flunk school. They all have their varied interests that don't really align with the erudition needed to succeed in school: Ichika pursues acting roles, Miku has a fascination of only a very specific historical time period, and Nino is focused on supporting her sisters; Yotsuba is a physical person and member of the track team, while Itsuki likes food and criticism. Contextually, they have a strict yet preoccupied father, who demands better excellence and passing grades for all of them, and there's an overhanging threat that he'll cut them off from their otherwise relatively lavish lives if they don't respond to his wishes. Additionally, when the sisters learn that they have an interest in their tutor for varied reasons, additional levels of intrication are presented, with some willing to sabotage the others' chances. Several provocative dilemmas arise over ethics and familial cohesion. While the prospect of all five sisters fostering a similar desire toward a single person is quite unrealistic, beyond this there is a narrative that's smartly constructed, if you can suspend that one notion of reality. The questions form: how will the five sisters resolve the dispute over him, how will they financially and emotionally support themselves as an independent unit, and what will they accomplish academically and after? 7. Yuru Camp: I'm not a fan of camping. I am a fan of this anime. It has an extraordinary calming tone, in keeping with its iyashikei approach to story-telling, that's very slice-of-life. Several high school girls engage in a common hobby, make mistakes, and learn together in a wholesome narrative that's nonetheless engaging and instructive without clinical dryness. There's something refreshing about a show that knows what it wants to be, and willing to stay simple and nonconvoluted. The characters all have their unique personalities, from the muted shyness of introverted Rin and the aloof Nadeshiko, to the lightly know-it-all presence of Chiaki. What's most fascinating is that you don't have to care for the subject matter to like the show – the enjoyment is detached from the activity. 8. Psycho-pass: Debatably the most important scifi anime of the last decade – at least the first season – it has a particularly brutal exhibition, still remaining grounded in its grit. A new detective, Akane, must work with veteran executors of "justice" to enforce what is known as the Sybil system, not too unlike the precog standard from Minority Report (2002) or the AI centralization of information i, Robot (2004). The influence of western movies is clear. Similarly, Akane is disillusioned and grapples with nontrivial ethical points of dispute over whether justice is served, or even what the nature of justice entails from a philosophical standpoint. If you like philosophical discussion wrapped in a fairly gripping futurist steam-punkish scifi setting, and aren't averse to gore, you'll probably enjoy it. 9. Yahari ore: Hachimon is at this point a meme, though at least the surrounding characters are crisp, with a pristine quality to them. Woven into the dialogue, a realism hovers over the show such that none of the characters feel thin or one-note; even those that seem at first antipodal to the antisocial yet virtuosic aesthetic of Hachimon are seen to have the sensibilities to identify when an act of selfishness or cruelty is committed against another. Though his repelled perspective of perceived hypocrisy and artificiality is at first a weakness, when obligated to join a Volunteer Service Club at his school, his directness at solving problems works at a nascent level, until it clashes with proposed solutions from Yukino and Yui; and when their limit is reached that the most efficient and rational solution is no longer the superior option. Not only does everyone else around him need to improve, also he himself is flawed with narcissistic defects and must free himself from his cynicism and apathy while retaining a sense of individualism, the self. 10. The Ancient Magus' Bride: Boasting some of the most beautiful animation in anime history, the eye-candy visuals and cinematography are probably the main draw. That isn't to imply that the anime holds no other store of desirability. A structured script, likeable and well-written characters, and a fantastic score are all apparent in addition to the art of world-class production value. There are moments in the show that are sad and yet life-affirming at the same time, with the colors and lush sound meshing perfectly into cathartic entirety. If I had to say, this is the most experiential entry in this list for these reasons, and so it may demand a lot of emotional availability. It is worth it, I believe. |

| Love is War. The over-the-top comedy and the format of having episodes within episodes helps keeps things fresh. The 'confession competition' premise is just enough of a deviation from traditional romcoms to make it uniquely charming. |
| Gintama... It has the best character cast in my opinion. Also, the comedy and action in it is peak |
