Ling Long: Incarnation is a very unexpected leader. Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka II is a formidable sequel.

After five years of harboring unspoken feelings, high-schooler Taiju Ooki
Alps no Shoujo Heidi (1979) is the only work I could rate as a borderline masterpiece in 1979 .

I evaluate Hai to Gensou no Grimgar and Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu for the same score, but in first case there's nothing really revolutionary as story is exactly low level fantasy with one mediocre enemy by the end. But second case is truly unique, so takes the upper hand. Also considering Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! and Schwarzesmarken enjoyable enough to stand out.
1. Boku dake ga Inai Machi ERASED 僕だけがいない街 [A-1 Pictures] (F
Best season ever. Shangri-La Frontier: Kusoge Hunter, Kamige ni Idoman to su was perfect and defeated unbeatable Goblin Slayer II (only because it's a sequel). Saihate no Paladin: Tetsusabi no Yama no Ou sequel left better impression than original. And there's a whole scattering of minor masterpieces - Boushoku no Berserk , 16bit Sensation: Another Layer and Jin Zhan Fashi .
1. Sousou no Frieren Frieren: Beyond Journey's End 葬送のフリーレン [Madhous
Usagi Drop is the definite favorite here. But I also find Yuru Yuri enjoyable enough.

In the absence of serious titles to my taste, there's a whole bunch of great comedies - Make Heroine ga Oosugiru! , Isekai Shikkaku , Murai no Koi and Long Zhong Ren.

Fall has become even more saturated than Spring lately. Beck is something unique that I'm willing to cherish. Genshiken is a cozy place to return to. Zipang is probably the best navy anime, at least to my awareness.
1. Bleach BLEACH - ブリーチ - [Pierrot] (Finished 4/366)
As usual, hard to beat Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season Part 2 even though this season is particularly lame. Another anime that I liked by a strange twist was Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru .

Among sequels I value Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e 2nd Season above Overlord IV or Made in Abyss: Retsujitsu no Ougonkyou or Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka IV: Shin Shou - Meikyuu-hen . From fresh works only enjoyed Isekai Ojisan .

Nightmare came true as in the absence of masterpieces need to choose among above average works that I watched to the end. And I'd rather nominate serious Tengoku Daimakyou than ecchi harem.

Uchuu Senkan Yamato is innovative in many aspects. Pacing can sometimes be slow with it, but I enjoyed first season and looking forward to second and third ones. The only definite masterpiece for me in 1974 .

Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari is a great isekai. Yakusoku no Neverland made quite an impact in due time. Domestic na Kanojo pulls it off with characters.

In Tokyo's downtown district of Ikebukuro, amidst many strange rumors and warnings of anonymous gangs and dangerous occupants,
I'm assured that anime develops for the better with each season, but can't spot anything but sequels like Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka IV: Shin Shou - Yakusai-hen and Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season - Kanketsu-hen somehow again.
