Can be several series. None for me, though I'd be interested in hearing about others. EDIT: Gosick has been really great so far. About halfway through.

GOH became a favorite because I got exactly what I expected. I enjoyed the fight scenes and the characters.

I started One Piece from the beginning (Just because I forgot what episode I left off on a few years ago) and it easily became a favorite. It's gonna take some time for me to catch up, but I'm kind of happy to see the Straw Hat pirates journey again.

I have Fruits Basket 2nd Season and Toaru Kagaku no Railgun T (both currently airing) in my favorites, never done that before but I know the rest of the episodes can't and won't disappoint me.
I watched Chihayafuru 3 a month ago, I thought I wouldn't like it since it's been years since I watched the previous two but it was amazing and even made me re-watch the first two seasons.
Great Pretender is a close one, each episode keeps getting better and better so it has the potential of becoming a favorite if the next arcs are mindblowing.

Chihayafuru is my most recent favorite and season 3 is my most recent 10/10. The show is goddamn amazing, I didn't expect that the I would love the characters that much

Honey and clover is also a great show I've watched recently and its is probably one of my personal favorite drama anime series ever (though I kinda expected it to be since it was written by Umino Chika who also did 3-gatsu no Lion which is my Top 3 favorite anime)

Serial Experiments Lain which I just finished earlier this morning. Holy hell I don't even know how to describe this show holy crap this was overwhelming.

recently binge watched haikyuu (didn't watch season 4 yet). It surprised me a lot, didn't except to love it that much but it has some of the most loveable character casts I ever saw in anime. Also season 3 is a masterpiece

My last 9 is probably Hidamari Sketch S2, about a few months back. I am currently in S4, and I believe at least one between this or the next OVA (graduation) will reach that score too.

More like added to my favourites.

From the new stuff - Deca-Dence and Appare-Ranman.

From the old stuff - Gun Frontier and Mahou Yuugi 3D + 2D. Maybe Kubikiri Cycle: Aoiro Savant to Zaregototsukai counts too.

Monogatari series has quickly risen in the ranks of my top 10 anime.I went into it thinking it's gonna be one of those generic harems but with pretty visuals.But this show completely proved me wrong and turned out to be one of the most eccentric ,bizzare and fascinating coming of age story with some of the best writing I have ever seen.I loved almost everything about this show(except the otaku pandering) and will most probably rewatch it in the future.

I started watching something called Casshern Sins. Similar progressive episodic flow like Bebop with some grounded what does it mean to be alive themes to grab on to. Prolly not for everyone but man I personally am thoroughly enjoying it.

Haikyuu, Bungou Stray dogs, and Boku no Hero Academia! among 10+ animes I watch during quarantine(yall can see my anime list), they're ones that left most impression for me! I haven't been in touch with anime world for almost 8 years so my anime taste kinda left behind from 2009-2013. I'm glad to meet a lot of enjoyable anime and catching up with the current era haha

Cross Game got a 9/10 from me recently, which means top 3.5%. I only picked it up because of a challenge, and it had all those tags I tend to hate: romantic school comedy for shounen, and to make it worse baseball themed. It turned out to be a fantastically paced slice of life with great cast chemistry, which was far more mature and funny than expected. Lesson learned: sometimes it pays to give stuff looking bad on paper a chance.

I'm 5 episodes into the Monogatari series and am fairly sure it'll end up just outside, if not in my top 10. Uhh I also watched Land of the Lustrous (9) a bit less than a month ago, and it became my favorite manga.

I don't really care with favorite list and those other kind of stuffs.

My most recently added favourite is Mononoke. I'll be honest, I was really surprised at how much I loved this anime because I have until now avoided any anime tagged as horror because I thought I was too much of a wimp for them but I gave Mononoke a go and loved it. I actually didn't think it was scary at all. It was a bit creepy in places but for me personally, I found some of the Mushishi episodes scarier. I think it's more gore and jump scares I'm looking to avoid than 'creepy' anime.

Bungou Stray Dogs. I just finished it a bit ago, and I loved all of it.

One Outs too. The smartest main character I've seen in anime.

I saw Re:Zero in the lead up to season 2 and absolutely loved the first season and season 2 so far. Then out of new anime I'd say Great Pretender has been amazing so far, Breaking Bad is one of my favourite non-anime series of all time so seeing a similar setting from a different perspective in the first case was amazing. Just hope the final case is just as good or even better than the first 3.

Definitely Planetes for me. It's my 3rd fav right now, Gintama is still my #1. I watched Planetes around 2-3 months ago so it's not very recent bcs anime that i watched recently is not interesting enough for me to get excited to know more about the story and the world they lived in whenever i finish an episode. Oh...i forgot to mention that Deca-Dence has become my new fav anime rn

Honzuki no Gekokujou 1st season, before I started to watch it I though I will drop it after 2th episode because main idea of plot wasn't for me but it was really good anime which is great focused mainly on progress of main character with failures and success in her inventions (there is no skipping in her progress like in most of animes) also she isn't OP after few mins of anime like in other animes, pretty unique to compare with other isekais. Even if there was no action I had really good enjoyment from watching it and seeing what she try to create and how she do it (it was also educative). It became 10th favourite anime for me.
