kn1000a 99 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Not gonna be late this time~ The tradition continues, it's time to post your top anime from 2021! Quite a lot of AOTY contenders for this year than I normally see. As always, I will post what I believe to be the best anime per season, so 4 total! They will all be non-sequel or not in a major series, so anybody looking for something they can quickly jump in will have a better time! Winter: https://myanimelist.net/anime/39535/Mushoku_Tensei__Isekai_Ittara_Honki_Dasu This one made the name for itself ever since EG still has it's simple shoutbox. Being the grandfather of modern isekai, Mushoku always has a spot in the list as one of the few anime exploring the full potential of this genre. Fanservice included, but that too is also essence of the isekai. Honorable mention: https://myanimelist.net/anime/40750/Kaifuku_Jutsushi_no_Yarinaoshi Isn't good by any mean, but I put this here for the impact it has lol. Spring: https://myanimelist.net/anime/46095/Vivy__Fluorite_Eyes_Song One of the most underrated show until about 5 episodes in when people start catching wind of it. Very good animation, dystopian premise, and explore the issues of robots/AI and humans. Oh, nice music to boost since the AI is an aspiring idol : P Honorable mention: https://myanimelist.net/anime/41457/86 Any other season and this would've been topping the chart. In fact, it's debatable whether Vivy or 86 is the best. Both are AOTY contender though. Summer: https://myanimelist.net/anime/40904/Bokutachi_no_Remake This anime was made with collaboration from Front Wing. Why? Because it's an anime about a group of students and their visual novel circle, with a very immersive first episode (50 minute, basically a movie itself). The anime has a good cast of characters and stay pretty realistic in portraying the time and place these characters are in. Honorable mention: https://myanimelist.net/anime/43969/Kanojo_mo_Kanojo A guy agreed to date four (and counting) girls at once. That should give you an idea of what comedy you're in for. Fall: https://myanimelist.net/anime/48926/Komi-san_wa_Comyushou_desu Tight spot between this gorgeous animated romcom, and Ousama King. But I will let this take the throne since I enjoyed this adaptation very much. Honorable mention: https://myanimelist.net/anime/40834/Ousama_Ranking Another AOTY that's debatable. Most people will have this as their best Fall anime, just from the quality of the storytelling. Don't let this children-looking anime fools you. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Best of 2021: Mushoku Tensei 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
