These were the must-watch anime series of the year

The world of anime can be tough to dip into for new viewers as it can be a challenge knowing where to start, but the journey is well worth it as this genre features some of the best stories in all of entertainment. In 2021 alone, there were new anime episodes that stole our hearts and had us smiling, laughing, and crying throughout.

Oddtaxi

In an age of anime with titles like “Banished From the Hero’s Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside,” it’s nice to have shows like Oddtaxi that convey what it's about in just a single word.

86: Eighty Six

At first glance, 86 feels like an echo of the recent Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans, with the framing on child soldiers in war. What makes 86 stand out though is its focus on the intersection of classism, racism, and the morality of murder in a time of war.

Attack on Titan Final Season

Attack on Titan begins the first half of its final season with a time skip, big revelations about the past, and a deep dive into the world beyond the borders of Paradis Island. As always, there are massive battles, tragic deaths, and interesting new characters introduced.

Horimiya

Horimiya is a very special kind of anime where you find yourself smiling through half the episode, even when nothing funny is actually happening. It’s just that dang wholesome. It’s a high school romance slice of life that manages to subvert all of the usual tropes that typically come with that territory.

Jujutsu Kaisen

The first season of Jujutsu Kaisen feels like the beginning of something special – much like the first season of Attack on Titan felt way back in 2013, or more recently, the first season of Demon Slayer just two years ago.

Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation

In a time where every type of isekai is being developed, Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation takes a joyful and wholehearted approach to the genre. The series follows a 34-year old underachiever, who dies after being run over by a bus only to start a new life in a new world as an infant.

Beastars (Season 2)

Beastars tells the story of a wolf who wants to have sex with a rabbit, but worries he will devour said rabbit. I think it’s a metaphor for puberty. Though it could be a cringey, misguided exploration of race. Maybe it’s holding a magnifying glass to sexual violence on campus.

Fruits Basket: The Final

Fruits Basket lures viewers in with the promise of a cute story about a family that turns into animals when they’re hugged, then absolutely disarms with boatloads of generational trauma.

Horimiya

Horimiya, a show whose namesake comes from combining the names of its two central love interests, Kyouko Hori and Izumi Miyamura, is about as darling as you’d expect a show named after its two lovers to be.

Jujutsu Kaisen

Jujutsu Kaisen was the breakout anime success of 2020 and continued strong in 2021. The story follows the young Yuji Itadori, a good-hearted school boy who one day eats an actual finger, which served as a vessel for a powerful demon called Sukuna.

Laid-back Camp (Season 2)

Possibly dubbed the most comfy anime in the last decade, Laid-back Camp ’s second season delivers as a perfect follow up to its first. Rin still loves camping by herself, but she slowly continues to open up to her new gang of friends at her school’s camping club.

Megalobox 2: Nomad

The second season of Megalobox is a far darker, somber, and more melancholic underdog story than the devil may care attitude of the first season.

My Hero Academia (Season 5)

Studio Bones’ breakout superhero action drama returned for its fifth season as the students of UA High school were thrust into ever more precarious danger with greater stakes.

15 Odd Taxi

Odd Taxi follows the story of Odokawa a walrus, who drives a taxi. Odokawa's backstory is quite sad. He was abandoned by his parents when he was just a kid studying in elementary school and this led to him becoming aloof as an adult.

14 Ranking Of Kings

The show is about a prince named Bojji, who is deaf and mute. He dreams of becoming the greatest king, but it isn't an easy road for him. In addition to Bojji's inability to speak and hear, he is extremely naive, which draws in a lot of criticism.

13 Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song

The anime was produced by Wit Studio, and it has 13 episodes, which makes it one of the shorter anime that came out in 2021. Set in a world where humans are focused on getting autonomous AI to work properly. Soon they find out that AI can only continue to work properly if it is given just one task.

12 Laid-Back Camp Season 2

The second season of Laid-Back Camp sees Rin go on an adventure trip to see the New Year's sunrise by the sea. The idea is fairly simple, however, due to sudden change in the weather, Rin's journey home becomes complicated. Her path back gets blocked and she gets stranded for a few days.

11 Re-Zero Season 2 Part 2

Re-Zero is one of the biggest names in the isekai anime community. It has a huge fanbase that is always waiting for the release of a new season so that they can enjoy watching their favorite characters in action. In this part, Subaru's story with the Sanctuary reaches its end.

9 JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean

Stone Ocean is the sixth part of the JoJo series. The anime adaptation was announced quite some time ago, and the fans of the series were excited to see how it would go. The anime is still ongoing, and it is going to take some time before it wraps up.

7 Tokyo Revengers

Tokyo Revengers took the entire world by storm with its quality. The series is based on the manga that has been written by Ken Wakui. Tokyo Revengers started airing in April 2021, with the final episode airing in September 2021.

One Piece Is (Numerically) The Most Popular Anime Series Of 2021

Premiering in 1999, One Piece is an anime series about a pirate boy with a rubber body searching for a treasure to become the Pirate King. The show is still on the air with over 1,000 episodes broadcast thus far and counting. It’s one of the most popular anime series of all time. So much so that Netflix is even working on a live-action adaptation.

Other 2021 Anime Shows Were A Close Second

After One Piece, the three other 2021 anime shows that came in second were Pokemon, Naruto and My Hero Academia. Having Pokemon on the list makes sense, given that it is one of those gateway anime series that popularized the medium in the West. The story is of kids capturing wild creatures with powers and then battling other youth.
