My Top 10 Favorites
Posting this as my own personal blog to keep track of my thoughts based on what I've watched or read. Will update in the future.
My Top 10 Favorite Anime:
#10: Spooky Kitaro (2007) - My very first anime (I tried to keep track of), fun gimmick of exploring yokai lore every episode
#9: Dungeon Meshi - Comfort watch, perfect mix of experimental cooking and dungeon exploration
#8: I Want To Eat Your Pancreas - Absolute tearjerker movie despite already expecting someone dying, shows you to be more optimistic in life because you never know what may happen
#7: Mob Psycho 100 - Hype music and animation sequence despite plain artstyle, wholesome (psychic) anime to watch encouraging self-improvement
#6: Love Is War - Peak romcom that will make you laugh your heart out with its antics
#5: Hyouka - Mundane slice of life mystery with insane production, focuses on superficial mysteries that are wittedly solved
#4: Nisekoi - Iconic harem romcom that will make you giggle every moment, banger production and music
#3: Frieren - An existential piece of work hidden behind a fantasy setting, it will make you contemplate about life and its fleeting moments
#2: K-On - Simple slice of life anime about highschool girls goofing around, making music together, and enjoying youth
#1: SKET Dance - Consistent and great production where a group of highschool kids aim to help everyone in need in their school letting you experience everything; from laughing intensely at their antics, going through gimmicky situations, and carrying the emotional weight the characters hold
HM: Bleach, Hunter x Hunter (2011), Tamako Market, Konosuba, Azumanga Daioh
My Top 10 Favorite Manga:
#10 - #7: [Undecided] - Currently reading more good works I might love
#6: Campfire Cooking in Another World - Fun Isekai/Fantasy read mixed with convenient cooking and non-sloppy powerscaling or pacing
#5: Top Dungeon Farmer - A comfort read where MC gets trapped in a dungeon and farms to survive while providing for its residents
#4: Smoking Behind The Supermarket With You - Somehow a melancholic read about two adults with no common ground smoking cigarettes together as they enjoy these simple moments while getting to introspectively know more about each other through solace
#3: I sold my life for 10,000 yen per year - Very unique premise, tearjerker read, will teach you the value of life and how to make the most of it
#2: Apothecary Diaries - Mystery in an Ancient Chinese setting, insane visuals, realistic worldbuild, intricate details, solid pacing
#1: Blue Lock - Football series without the stereotypical "power of friendship" shenanigans, perfectly executed edginess with visuals and somewhat exaggerated analysis
My Top 10 Favorite Characters:
#10: Darkness (Konosuba) - Masochistic aggro tank, perverted and undignified noble woman, comic relief beauty
#9: Denken (Frieren) - Wise and kind despite looking stern, practical and persevering despite being a noble, tragic past
#8: Osaragi (Sakamoto Days) - Unique and beautiful character design, stoic and nonchalant
#7: Akane Tendo (Ranma 1/2) - Caring despite rough and boyish attitude, cute and simple old school heroine
#6: Yamada/Tayama (Smoking Behind The Supermarket With You) - Snarky, crude, and capable as a facade of being vulnerable and helplessly selfless
#5: Iino (Love Is War) - Stubborn, cute, deceptively immoral despite being your typical stern honor student
#4: Onodera (Nisekoi) - Innocent, cute, bashful, ship war bias
#3: Maomao (Apothecary Diaries) - Smart, cunning, unwavering, cat-like features, cute, complicated backstory yet still persevering and content
#2: Urahara (Bleach) - Pioneering, smart, goofy yet reliable, unexpectedly strong especially with prep work
#1: Bossun (SKET Dance) - Favorite protagonist, does what he can to help everyone, smart when the situation calls for it while mostly stupid as comic relief, depressing lore
My Top 10 Favorite People:
#10 - #7: [Undecided] - I don't give that much attention to in real life people
#6: Saori Hayami - Aloof and calming voice; voices Yor, Osaragi, Yotsugi, and other stoic characters
#5: Ayana Taketatsu - Amazing voice range; voices Bambietta, Hotaru, Azusa, and other sassy or cute characters
#4: Kana Hanazawa - Amazing singing voice, bashful voice; voices Onodera, Nadeko, and other reserved or shy characters
#3: Rie Takahashi - Energetic pipsqueak voice, amazing singer; voices Emilia, Sumi, Megumin, Takagi, and other enthusiastic characters
#2: Aoi Yuuki - Amazing voice actress, insane voice range; voice ranges from Maomao, Capella, Tsuyu, Liltotto, and many more
#1: Nao Toyama - Great (not overly cutesy) cheerful voice, amazing discography; voices Chitoge, Giselle, and other cheerful characters
