Basically my list of must-watch shows. (If one season is here, it means the whole show btw) I tried to have them ordered by favorites, but a lot of these could be switched around with each other.
Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen
TV, 2019, 12 eps Me:- Author:10
Might be my favorite work of fiction. Hilarious comedy, some of if not the best character writing I've ever seen, and just a very good romance. Best anime of all time in my opinion.
Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai
TV, 2018, 13 eps Me:- Author:10
Even though this series consists of very far-fetched and fictious plots, it is one of the realest things I've seen. Another one with great characters and unmatched writing. The first movie had bawling on every watch, lowkey life changing.
K-On!!
TV, 2010, 26 eps Me:- Author:10
The best way I can describe this show is that it is just fun. Fun characters, fun plots, and fun music. Despite the fact that this isn't my favorite anime, I've never been more upset to finish a show, even when rewatching it.
Clannad: After Story
TV, 2008, 24 eps Me:- Author:10
Clannad After Story is easily the most important and best part of the whole series. However, it won't leave the full impact if you only watch this and not the first season. This had me tearing up some episodes and bawling during others. I could go on forever, but I'm trying to keep these descriptions short so: watch the first season, watch this, and gain a new outlook on life.
Sakura-sou no Pet na Kanojo
TV, 2012, 24 eps Me:- Author:10
It's been year since I've watched this so idk if it holds up as well but this was my favorite anime for a while
Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan
TV, 2016, 120 eps Me:- Author:9
One of the few comedy anime that understands how to actually be funny. Also I really like the structure of one episode containing a bunch of mini episodes. That, the funny characters, and the great humor make this so addictive and rewatchable.
Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!
TV, 2016, 10 eps Me:- Author:9
Lowkey just a sitcom in disguise. Though I like this mainly for the comedy elements, it's one of the few isekai that actually manages to make the fantasy setting really interesting and not boring/ repetitive.
Nichijou
TV, 2011, 26 eps Me:- Author:9
While I mainly like this so much because it's very funny, it does a great job of just being fun like K-On. Peak amounts of silliness.
[Oshi no Ko]
TV, 2023, 11 eps Me:- Author:9
A great drama full of good characters and jaw-dropping moments.
Horimiya
TV, 2021, 13 eps Me:- Author:8
I liked the manga more, but if you want a good romance with a great cast, you can't go wrong with this one. (Or maybe you can some people don't like this but I think it's fire.)
Bocchi the Rock!
TV, 2022, 12 eps Me:- Author:8
Another silly comedy about girls playing in a band. Bocchi is literally me, there are some great uses of animation, and Kessoku Band makes an absolute banger of a soundtrack. I've read ahead in the manga and I really hope we get a season 2, the post anime content is fire.
JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken (TV)
TV, 2012, 26 eps Me:- Author:7
While this is by far the longest thing on this list, it is well worth the watch. Each part feels like a different show, but they still keep what makes JoJo so good. Great fights, well written characters, and unique stories.
Shinseiki Evangelion
TV, 1995, 26 eps Me:- Author:8
Ok imma be real i don't really know how to describe what I like about this one. It's probably the characters maybe something like the philosophy behind them and their motives and how they all feel unique and real because of their different struggles maybe?
ReLIFE
TV, 2016, 13 eps Me:- Author:8
Watching the characters navigate through the struggles with each other is maybe the reason this is so good? Idrk why I like this one so much either tbh but its a banger trust, definitely worth watching.
Cowboy Bebop
TV, 1998, 26 eps Me:- Author:8
Each 20 minute episode is able to achieve what most 2 hour movies can't.
Sousou no Frieren
TV, 2023, 28 eps Me:- Author:8
So many anime with a fantasy setting just turn out to be boring and repetitive, but Frieren doesn't do that. Good characters, great fights, and masterful writing. Never knew watching other people do side quests could be so entertaining.
Mob Psycho 100
TV, 2016, 12 eps Me:- Author:7
While at first glance this an action show about psychic powers, the biggest focus is on the characters. Even though the cast is full of psychics, con men, and spirits, it's still a cast full of characters that are ultimately just people. The first season may have been a little rough at times, but I'm very glad I stuck with this.
Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru.
TV, 2013, 13 eps Me:- Author:7
So many romance anime these days feel so lifeless and plain, even if they are good. So many of them lack what makes romance anime great, which can be found in this My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU. Good drama (or any drama at that point), interesting characters with some depth to them, and progress in relationships.
