| If I had to choose between One Piece and a girlfriend...I think I'll go with One Piece |
| My top5 so far is probably:(no specific order) -Onimai -Oshi no ko -Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu -Vinaland saga s2 -Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia |
 |
Edomae Elf is easily my favorite anime so far. |
 |
| If I had to pick just one new anime as best of 2023, I guess it would have to be Heavenly Delusion. It takes risks. The world and character-building are great. It's well-written and the production values are so polished you could mistake it for a movie. Most importantly, it's not really like anything else we have out right now. It's so rare to find something that truly marches to the beat of its own drum these days. Honorable mentions to Gold Kamuy, Vinland Saga, Oshi no Ko, Ancient Magus Bride, Insomniacs After School, and Skip to Loafer. I personally liked Onimai and Edomeae elf a lot, although I can't in good conscience call them masterpieces. I still think they deserve a shout-out just because they are so overlooked. |
| Attack on Titan like every year it airs in. |
 |
| So far: Vinland s2 Oshi no Ko Dr Stone S3 Gundam Mercury S2 Ragnarok S2 Buddy Daddies |
| Spring anime might still change of course, but for me it's currently: 1: Gundam: The Witch from Mercury S2 2: Kawaisugi Crisis 3: My Home Hero 4: High Card 5: Mou Ippon 6: Edens Zero S2 7: Roukin (Saving Gold in another World) 8: Tensei Ouji no Tensai Reijou no Mahou Kakumei 9: Yuri is my Job! 10: Nagatoro S2 |
| In no particular order Mou Ippon Insomniacs after school Yamada Kun Golden kamuy Skip and Loafer Heavenly delusion |
| -Vinland saga s2 -Skip and loafer -Tengoku daimakyou - Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia |
   |
| Tengoku Daimakyou is the only one that I am really enjoying in 2023. |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Kafka, Fu Xuan, Jingliu, Topaz and Huohuo. |
| 1. Pokemon (2023) 2. Tengoku Daimakyou 3. Birdie Wing S2 4. Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu 5. Yuusha ga Shinda! 6. Trigun Stampede 7. Kubo-san wa Mob wo Yurusanai |
 |

  |
| Tomo-chan is a Girl Campfire Cooking in Another World The Cafe Terrace & it’s Goddesses The angel next door spoils me rotten Tonikaku Kawaii season 2 |
| Best anime till date 1. Vinland Saga S2 2. Heavenly Delusion Other good ones I really liked (in no particular order) Buddy Daddies DanMachi S4P2 Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Bakuen wo! Edomae Elf Ousama Ranking: Yuuki no Takarabako I really like Nier: Automata v1.1a however since it isn't completed (and looks unlikely) I can't really say |

| I think these two would be the best anime of 2023 so far for me personally: 1. Oshi no Ko 2. The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten |
 |
| Vinland saga and demon slayer are my favorites so far Vinland way better tho Also aot |
 |
| Original: Heavenly Delusion Sequel: TONIKAWA or Vinland Saga They all have 2 eps left. HD might stay #1 but the sequels have to wait. |
| Vinland Saga and Trigun Stampede for me. |
| Vinland Saga has been impressive so far. |
| Can't decide between Vinland Saga and Tengoku Daimakyou. Skip to Loafer is also great. |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| oshi no ko and heavenly delusion have both been pleasant surprises. too bad one piece doesn't count, already dropped at least 4 episode of the year contenders. |
 |
| Vinland Saga season 2 and Oshi no Ko are pretty much tied for my favorite right now. Then after that Skip to Loafer, Heavenly Delusion, and Buddy Daddies. |
| Best anime of 2023 is Attack on Titan S4 P3 and Vinland Saga S2. |
| 1. Oshi no ko 2. Tengoku Daimakyou 3. Witch from Mercury S2 4. Golden Kamuy S4 |

| So far, I've actually only watched six new series from this year including both the winter and spring seasons. Those are Sugar Apple Fairy Tale, Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill, Hikari no Ou, Tousouchuu: Great Mission, Aiyou de Mishi/X&Y, and Tengoku Daimakyou. Of those, Tengoku Daimakyou, Hikari no Ou, and Aiyou de Mishi are definitely the best in my view. Probably in that order too. That said, they are still in my mind "only" 7/10-tier shows, so solidly good with a lot of potential, but nothing phenomenal. If I violated my own rule and included not just completely new series, but new seasons of older pre-existing series from previous years, then the best would probably be Mahoutsukai no Yome season 2 and Vinland Saga season 2. Even though I still significantly prefer the first seasons of both thus far. |
| 1. Vinland Saga 2. Tengoku Daimakyou 3. Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu 4. Kaminaki Sekai no Kamisama Katsudou 5. Kidou Senshi Gundam: Suisei no Majo Season 2 |

ryo-san said: @Fukoku Those are only popular animes on Mal, doesn't mean they are the best anime.. I seriously doubt that you watch any anime, you just named anime based on Mal popularity If I was just plain out listing popular anime I would’ve mentioned Oshi No Ko and Jigokuraku as well. Also that ranking is my opinion nothing more |
| If I had to choose between One Piece and a girlfriend...I think I'll go with One Piece |
ryo-san said: @Fukoku ahh it sucks to hear Hell's Paradise didn't work out well with your hot ragnarok viking blood.. I just don’t have time to watch it, I might soon tho. My friends told me it is pretty good |
| If I had to choose between One Piece and a girlfriend...I think I'll go with One Piece |
| Of what I've seen so far: Mahoutsukai no Yome 2 (7.5/10 I really love this series, but the second season is just not quite as good as the first. Still great though) Oshi no Ko (8/10 The first episode is amazing and although the latter episodes haven't been quite as good, they're still interesting and I do really enjoy this series. I may end up marking it down to a 7 though... it depends on the last few eps) The Reason Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion (6.5/10 I love this series, but the animation is nowhere near as good as the manhwa. I marked it down for that) Buddy Daddies (7/10 I enjoyed this far more than I expected. It has action and sh*t, but also has that slice of life feel and that just pulled me in as I'm a sucker for SOL) Tsurune 2 (7/10 I loved the first season and enjoyed the hell out of this one too) Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi (6.5/10 This was my relaxing series to watch.) |

| I haven't watched a lot of new series this year (pretty much none of them caught my attention) but Trigun Stampede definitely surprised me with its fresh approach to the Trigun setting. |

Junji Ito Maniac: Japanese Tales of the Macabre 8. Nagatoro Season 2 Honestly it’s probably because of how hyped I was for it because the manga is my second to favorite manga of all time. I was like that for Record of Ragnarok season 1 too, because I really liked the manga and couldn’t wait to see it become animated. |
| If I had to choose between One Piece and a girlfriend...I think I'll go with One Piece |
| birdie wing 2 no contest why this even a discussion skip to loafer close second |
 |
 i didn't watch too much shows in this year so that's why the list is pretty short For me i think those are the best for the half of this year ( without a particular order ) :
That's all |

The fights were the main selling point of the show, and they got animated like power-point presentations... |
| Yes |
| Bofuri 2, but it's also the only new thing I've finished this year. Tokyo Mew Mew 2 is a letdown and Hirogaru Sky isn't even half finished. |
| We are barely halfway through the year, but I feel that it will be extremely difficult for any other work to take the title of AOTY from Vinland Saga Season 2. In my opinion, no other work of the year had as much substance as such a story, despite there being better productions and better directed and animated. It's my favorite for now, for sure. Tengoku Daimakyou, for now, is the best of the new ones. A work of incredible mystery connection and probably the best animated work of the year so far. And, as another mention, I'd like to mention Urusei Yatsura, which was a follow-up from 2022 and, while it doesn't really grab people's attention, it's definitely my favorite comedy of the year and a remake brought to life by a committed and passionate team. |
| Onimai has been unironically the best anime of 2023 so far. |
| I only watch shows that finished airing, so there's not much I've seen. Of those Hikari no Ou was the best of 2023 so far, runner up Danmachi IV Part 2. |
