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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica is the best magical girl anime because kids, or at least young teens, can enjoy it, but it's mature enough to appeal to a wider audience. It's solidly rooted in the magical girl genre, but with a darker approach and subversion of many genre tropes.
The reason Fullmetal Alchemist is the best fantasy anime of all time is that it paints a fully realized, unique world with internally consistent rules that have real consequences. Building on that foundation, it delivers a story about two brothers that's as grounded as the setting is fantastic.
Without Dragon Ball, the fighting anime genre as we know it today probably wouldn't exist.

Anime has a reputation for being kid stuff, because of the connection between animation and kids cartoons in the West. The truth is that most anime isn't for kids, as evidenced by all the TV-14, TV-MA, and R ratings on this list. If you're looking for a great anime kids movie, the best place to start is Studio Ghibli.
Honorable mentions : Bleach, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Mushishi. A lot of fantasy and supernatural anime incorporates fantastic elements into real-world settings, like shinigami descending on Karakura Town in Bleach. Shin Sekai Yori, or From the New World, takes it to a new level. The series starts off a little slow.
Attack on Titan is horrifying, but it isn't really a horror anime. If you can stomach the grotesque, inside-out appearance of the titular titans, and the brutal finality of the way they devour their victims, you'll find an action anime that's also heavy on plot, character development, and atmosphere.
