hey, this post is also available on my ko-fi, so please check it out and consider tipping/donating as i do this for free and am currently between jobs. you can find part 1 of the list here, part 2 here, part 3 here, and part 4 here. all of my seasonal reviews are on my ko-fi and under my anime reviews tag, mixed in with my occasional musings. thanks!
And we are in the home stretch! I didn’t want to split up my top 10 like last year, so it took a couple days to get it all together. Thanks for your patience.
As you may have noticed, some of these reviews are longer than others. I’ve reviewed most of these shows before, so I didn’t want to be too redundant while talking about shows I’ve already reviewed. You can, of course, go back and read my initial reviews in my previous seasonal roundups.
Also, I just wanted to quickly shout out a few shows that I haven’t watched much or any of, but would likely have placed well in these rankings, namely Dead Dead Demon’s Dededede Destruction, YATAGARASU, the Spice and Wolf remake, Orb: On the Movements of Earth, Sound! Euphonium’s third season, and the late Akira Toriyama’s SAND LAND and Dragon Ball DAIMA. I only have so much time in a day, week, month, and year, but those series have been on my radar and I do intend to pick them up sooner or later.
But for now, let’s focus on what I did watch. Off we go:
This is a slightly biased placement on my end because I picked up the manga this year and quickly fell in love with it, and I’m just happy that it got a faithful, well-made anime adaptation. If you have an issue with that, I’m gonna let you in on a little secret: This whole list is biased. It’s MY list, after all.
one of the lightbulbs in my living room looked like it burned out the other day so i put in a maintenance request to have it replaced. it turned itself on like five minutes later
maintenance just came to replace both of them anyway and they replaced the needlessly bright white lightbulbs with a warmer color and suddenly i’m a lot more comfortable in my own home

at first i thought ben schwartz was covering for nicole byer laughing in that clip by saying she was crying like scott aukerman always does on CBB but nope, she actually did start crying
