00:00Hi guys, I'm back with another video!
00:03And can you believe it?
00:04Half the year has already flown by and anime has been delivering non-stop, from fresh new
00:08titles to epic returning seasons!
00:11Honestly, this year has been nothing short of amazing for us!
00:14So buckle up, cause today we're counting down the top 10 best anime of the year so
00:18far!
00:19No matter what you're into, action, romance, or pure chaos, there's something in here
00:24for everyone!
00:25So let's begin the video!
00:26On number 10, on number 9, Sakamoto Days is about a legendary hitman who retires, gets
00:33married, and opens a convenience store!
00:35But surprise, surprise!
00:37Being an ex-assassin isn't something you can just clock out of, so between selling snacks
00:41and dealing with his dad bod, Sakamoto ends up back in the game!
00:45And I'm gonna be honest here, it's hilarious!
00:47The action is amazing, fast, creative, and so different from your usual flashy anime fights!
00:53Not every show has to be the next solo leveling, and Sakamoto Days proves it by carving out its
00:58own identity!
00:59The art style is slick, the comedy lands perfectly, and I swear this might be the most bingeable
01:04anime you'll get this year!
01:06And I think we as a community should try to keep an open mind about new things studios want
01:10to try, rather than keep criticizing everything!
01:13So if you like action comedy and you want something to binge, this is your jam right here!
01:17Number 8 Secrets of the Silent Witch follows Monica, the most powerful mage around, who
01:23also happens to be shy, awkward, and basically allergic to social interaction!
01:28Instead of flexing her insane magic, she's just trying to survive academy life and protect
01:32the prince without dying of embarrassment!
01:35And somehow, that's what makes it so fun to watch!
01:38This fantasy keeps itself surprisingly grounded!
01:40It's not all explosions and dragon slaying, it's about a girl figuring herself out while also
01:45carrying this ridiculous magical talent!
01:48It's kinda addictive, the characters are adorable, the production quality is straight up cinema
01:53with beautiful animation and a killer soundtrack, and yet somehow this anime is still criminally
01:58underrated!
01:59If you're sleeping on this one, you're seriously missing out on one of the hidden gems of the
02:03year!
02:04On Number 7 To Be Hero X is an anthology series all about superheroes, but with a twist!
02:10You've got this wristband that literally measures popularity!
02:13And the more popular a hero is, the stronger they become!
02:16So yeah, saving the world kinda depends on your clout score!
02:19Now here's where it gets crazy impressive!
02:21The action is god tier!
02:23Every hero's story feels unique and interesting, and it never drops the ball on consistency!
02:28And because it's an anthology, you're never stuck with one character too long!
02:32It always keeps things moving and fresh!
02:34But the real flex is this anime switches art styles mid-fight like it's nothing!
02:39And some heroes even come with their own completely different art style, which makes it even better!
02:44At the end of the day, it's just a super fun watch that feels fresh, creative, and way
02:49different from your usual superhero anime!
02:51On Number 6 Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity starts off looking like your typical high school
02:57romance!
02:58You know, tall boy meets quiet library girl!
03:00But here's the twist!
03:01The quiet girl, Waguri, isn't just any love interest!
03:05She's the kind of character that instantly makes you go,
03:07Ohhhh, she's special!
03:09She's kind, grounded, and easily one of the best written female characters romance anime
03:14has given us in a while!
03:15Like, Blue Box did a great job too, but Waguri just feels different!
03:19She carries the show with how genuine and refreshing she is!
03:23It might look like just another school romance at first!
03:25And honestly, yeah, in the beginning, it does feel like your typical love story, but give
03:30it a little time and it completely wins you over!
03:33The romance is actually really good, grounded, smooth, and feels way more real than most anime
03:38out there!
03:39This is the kind of romance anime that reminds you why you fell in love with the genre in
03:43the first place!
03:44On Number 5!
03:46Solo leveling is basically the new popular kid in the action genre!
03:50It's a power fantasy where our guy Jinwoo starts off weak as hell, then gets a power-up,
03:55and from there it's just non-stop glow-ups, aura farming, and boss fights!
03:59The anime doesn't pretend to be deep, it knows exactly what it is!
04:03Pure action, and it does that really well!
04:05The fights are slick, the music is catchy, and the visuals look great!
04:09Honestly, it's the kind that's perfect for someone new to anime!
04:13Like my friend, who never watched anime in his life!
04:15Then he binged Solo leveling, and now he's hyped to watch the new Demon Slayer movie
04:19with me next month!
04:21Well, both seasons handle the manhwa adaptation really well, and while it doesn't add much
04:25depth to Jinwoo's character, it makes up for it with spectacle!
04:29At the end of the day, it doesn't try to be anything it isn't, it's straight-up action,
04:33and that's why it works!
04:35If you're here for the story, look elsewhere!
04:37But if you just want to see walls break, monsters explode, Jinwoo flex his powers, and
04:42non-stop aura farming, this is your jam!
04:45On Number 4
04:46Dan to Dan is one of those anime that makes you go, wait, what did I just watch?
04:51But in the best way possible, it throws aliens, ghosts, and curses into a blender, adds some
04:57high-speed action and off-the-wall comedy, and somehow makes it all work perfectly!
05:02It's weird, it's funny, and it does both so ridiculously well!
05:05The characters are instantly memorable, each of them feels larger than life, but still grounded
05:10enough to care about!
05:11Production is absolute fire!
05:13The animation is smooth and explosive, the OSTs hit at just the right moments, and it
05:18all comes together to make this anime feel completely unique!
05:22Dan to Dan isn't just another seasonal release, it's one of those unforgettable experiences
05:26that reminds you why anime is so fun in the first place!
05:30If you want something wild, stylish, and unlike anything else this year, this is the ride you
05:35don't want to miss!
05:36On Number 3
05:37The Apothecary Diaries takes you into the Imperial Court where poison, secrets, and shady politics
05:43are everywhere!
05:44Our main girl Mau Mau is just trying to mind her own business, but her crazy sharp mind
05:49and sarcastic attitude keep dragging her into mystery after mystery!
05:53I'm gonna be totally honest with you, watching her solve cases while roasting people along the
05:57way is half the fun!
05:59The story is mysterious and smart, it keeps you guessing without ever feeling overcomplicated,
06:04the art is gorgeous, the world feels rich, and the chemistry between Mau Mau and Jinshi,
06:09absolute gold!
06:10It's got this perfect mix of historical drama with a sprinkle of mystery that makes it addictively
06:15watchable!
06:16This isn't just another period drama, it's beautiful, clever, and one of the most satisfying
06:21anime to binge this year!
06:23If you want a show that makes your brain work and keeps you hooked, this is the one you can't
06:27skip!
06:28On Number 2
06:29Lord of Mysteries is the kind of anime that grabs you from the first episode and drags
06:34you straight into its dark, mysterious world!
06:36You don't want to leave, the story is mysterious and smart, it keeps you guessing at every turn,
06:42and just when you think you figured something out, it flips the table on you!
06:46It's kinda confusing, but it's only gonna get better from here!
06:49The animation is god tier!
06:51It's cinematic, detailed, and nails that eerie gothic vibe perfectly!
06:56And let me tell you, the anime studio already announced 6 seasons and a movie!
07:00Yeah, it's that good, every frame feels like it was crafted to pull you deeper into the mystery!
07:06It's rich, it's dark, and it's the kind of anime that makes you pay attention to every
07:10little clue!
07:11If you're looking for a story that's smart, stylish, and unforgettable, this is peak
07:16dark fantasy done right!
07:18Before we jump into number 1, here are some honorable mentions that were just too good
07:22not to include!
07:23One day, I'll join the defense force!
07:35On number 1, Takopi's Original Sin is one of those anime that tricks you right from the
07:45start!
07:46You see this cute, pink, Kirby-looking alien octopus and think, oh, this is gonna be wholesome!
07:51Nope!
07:52It's a trap!
07:53What you actually get is a twisted parody of Dorymon!
07:56You've got the helpless kid, Shizuka, and the magical buddy from the future, Takopi with
08:00his pouch of happy gadgets!
08:02But instead of fixing homework problems or scaring off bullies, everything spirals into a world
08:07of neglect, abuse, and pain that feels so suffocatingly real!
08:11Takopi, with his simple, happy brain, means well, but every attempt to help just makes
08:17things worse.
08:18And that's where the chaos comes in.
08:19The story cuts deep, like a surgeon's scalpel dissecting trauma and brokenness in a way
08:24most anime wouldn't dare.
08:26These six episodes are nothing short of a masterpiece of anime art – short, sharp, and unforgettable.
08:31It's not just good, it's the kind of once in years anime that people remember because
08:36it's so unique and brutally honest.
08:38If you think anime can't hit you in the gut while smiling at you with a goofy octopus
08:42face, this one will prove you wrong!
08:45And that's a wrap!
08:46This year has been packed with heat, amazing stories, insane action, gorgeous visuals, and
08:52some real good stuff!
08:54But hey, this is just my list!
