Exactly as the title says. which, according to you is the best anime this season? I mean yeah there are the general MAL ratings ofc but there are braindead weebs who'd downrate any anime just so THEIR fav one goes up, uk. Also i think the forum community has a higher average iq

imo the overall best one is Kingdoms of Ruin ( i haven't yet watched Sousou no Frieren soooo...). It has great animation, good plot twists, strong story and a likeable MC (well at least
). My other personal favs are Deranged Detective, Undead Unluck and Boushoku no Berserk. What about y'all?

I'm not sure about which one to pick between Undead Unluck and Frieren. A few weeks ago I would have picked the latter without a doubt, but Undead Unluck is starting to convice me otherwise.

Pluto, Kusuriya no Hitorigoto and Kanojo mo Kanojo s2 are slightly behind, but still in my top 10 of 2023; Shangri-La Frontier, Shy and Migi to Dali the other anime I'm rating above my own average.

Standalone wise, Sousou no Frieren is my favorite among everything else this season, and I’m also really glad that I started the manga before the anime because it’s well surpassing its source material. Kusuriya no Hitorigoto and the 100 Girlfriends anime are close behind.

Sequel wise, Spy x Family S2 or Arknights: Perish in Frost are my favorite but could change since Kanojo mo Kanojo S2 is going and is hilarious.

:]

"The Best Fall 2023 Anime?"

Kamonohashi Ron no Kindan Suiri, Kusuriya no Hitorigoto, Under Ninja (because it's weird), Onimusha (yes. it's kind of stiff and ugly, but I had fun with it) and Sousou no Frieren.

But also I am waiting to check out Onmyouji.

As per usual, I'm not going to include continuing series (series which started in an earlier season and are still running) or returning series (series which originally started in an earlier season or entirely different year and are coming back with a second/third/second part 2/X season).

To get those out of the way, for continuing series, I'm still watching Tousouchuu: Great Mission, which started in spring, as well as Dark Gathering and Helck, which started in summer. Zom 100, which also started in the summer, is currently on hiatus until late December when it's supposed to finish up Christmas Day.

And for returning series, watching Mahoutsukai no Yome season 2, Goblin Slayer season 2, Arknights season 2, and Saihate no Paladin season 2.

Just judging the brand new series, I'm watching Buta no Liver wa Kanetsu Shiro, Sousou no Frieren, Bullbuster, Migi to Dali, Megumi no Daigo: Kyuukoku no Orange, Potion-danomi de Ikinobimasu!, Shangri-La Frontier, and The Apothecary Diaries. And tentatively watching (still deciding whether or not to continue watching) Dog Signal and Boushoku no Berserk.

I'd say the top five best from these new ones (so far, obviously) are as follows:

1.) The Apothecary Diaries
2.) Bullbuster
3.) Sousou no Frieren
4.) Migi to Dali
5.) Megumi no Daigo

A few notes about this ranking:

*Of course it's still early enough in that it's all subject to change. The only one I don't see having any reasonable likelihood of potentially shifting a placement or two in any direction is The Apothecary Diaries at #1.

* Frieren might be "better" in the sense of being more artfully and methodically planned out and executed, if trying to judge more "objectively", than something like Bullbuster, but I'm personally enjoying the latter more as it's something a little more novel and fresh which I haven't seen before, which is just like a more hyperrealism-focused and down to Earth working SoL take on the mecha genre

*Megumi no Daigo would be a lot better yet still if it nixed irksome minutes-long flashbacks in early episodes. The definition of unneeded and unhelpful

* The pig isekai was actually the one I was most excited for going based off of premise alone before the season started (though some of these series I didn't even know about the existence of until after the season actually started or right before), but I find the main character and most of the other characters so far, besides the main girl, quite annoying or off-putting in one or more ways

Interesting how Kingdoms of Ruin is your favourite of the season OP. It's my least favourite anime this season and I'm watching 22 shows.

Anyway as for the question my top 2 are Frieren and Kusuriya no Hitorigoto and it's not even close. Pluto and Undead Unluck are runners up though

Top Five

1. Yuzuki san - Most wholesome and touching, tad relatable, simple and edifying
2. Migi to Dali - Very unique, wacky, co funniest of the season
3. Frieren - Most consistent, subtle and thoughtful story telling
4. Under Ninja - Very unique, best soundtrack, best direction, funny
5. 100 girlfriends - co funniest, very tropey and self aware

Objectively, it's probably Sousou no Frieren or Apothecary Diaries. But personally I'm obsessed with Migi&Dali. That show is insane, and I look forward to every episode. It is an acquired taste tbh.

This is an exceptionally strong season with a lot of surprising, new bangers. My favorites so far are:

1. Kamonohashi Ron no Kindan Suiri - Deranged Detective Kamonohashi Ron
2. Undead Unluck
3. Watashi no Oshi wa Akuyaku Reijou - I'm in Love With the Villainess
4. Kusuriya no Hitorigoto - The Apothecary Diaries
5. Yuzuki-san Chi no Yonkyoudai - The Yuzuki Family's Four Sons

As for sequels, Dr. Stone & The Eminence of Shadow & Tokyo Revengers have been going hard
