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 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, 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Going back in time or being transported to a different world to start life over again seems to be a popular theme this year in the world of anime, and understandably so. Who wouldn’t love the chance to do life over again? That said, if it’s anything like Tokyo Revengers, then you may not be so eager to relive your past.
A refreshing change of pace from your typical shonen anime, Sk8 the Infinity revolves around the bonds of budding friendship and the excitement of extreme skateboarding. Reki, a hard-working skateboarder with an intense love for the sport, is introduced to a Canadian transfer student, Langa, at school and tasked with showing him around.
From the creator of Boogiepop and Others, Shingo Natsume’s Sonny Boy is a unique and original sci-fi survival drama that gives off a lot of heavy Lord of the Flies vibes. The show follows a class of high school students who get mysteriously transported along with their school to another dimension with no explanation as to how or why.
Star Wars: Visions is an anthology that brings together seven different anime studios to tell their own stories in the Star Wars universe through the world’s most popular animated medium.
Getting reincarnated has always been an intriguing concept for anime to dive into, and it’s gotten so popular recently that many anime this year have been adaptations of isekai manga, the fantasy subgenre where a person from Earth is transported to, reborn, or trapped in a parallel universe or fantasy world.
From Crunchyroll and Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim comes a chapter from the Blade Runner saga that is sure to awe fans of the famous science fiction series. Fully animated in CGI, Blade Runner: Black Lotus is set in the futuristic landscape of Los Angeles in the year 2032 and revolves around a young woman named Elle who wakes up with no memory.
From the creator of Death Note comes another supernatural battle of wits between humans in the new religious psychological thriller Platinum End. The series follows Mirai Kakehashi, a high school student so fed up with his life that he attempts to end it all by jumping off a building…only to be saved by his guardian angel, Nasse.
Following 14-year-old Ai Ooto as she fights to protect the souls of dead teenage girls housed within the eponymous "wonder eggs," the high quality of the show’s animation proves immediately striking, full of nuanced character acting and spectacular, high-flying and allegorical action that has earned comparisons to Kunihiko Ikuhara ( Revolutionary Girl Utena) and Naoko Yamada ( A Silent Voice) in equal measure. Even with all that visual flash, the explicit depiction of a tough subject matter will understandably prove an insurmountable hurdle for many—even though for the most part, director Shin Wakabayashi ( Owarimonogatari) and writer Shinji Nojima ( Suki!, Ie naki ko) tackle the most uncomfortable topics through quieter, incidental reveals. Consistently powerful and provocative, Wonder Egg Priority strikes a perfect balance of sensational action with painful subject matter without missing a step (yet, anyway). From its incredible animation to its off-kilter electronic score, it's without a doubt the most exciting new show of the year so far.
The words "magical girl" are never uttered in Wonder Egg Priority, but the loud and colorful markers of the subgenre—transforming objects of power, animal familiars—are presented in contrast with quiet and delicate observation of each of the character’s painful inner struggles.
