The forgotten one
GOD DAMN IT GARNT! Change the default countdown lol. The default is ear piercing bad.
Hell ya let's gooo
"You have no enemies" and "why didn't I try to know him better?" are the two phrases that hit me last year the most
what's the second one from

Where’s the first one from
@@Pusheenowaaa Google says its from Vinland saga
Vinland Saga s1 is where that quote comes from. It has significantly more impact in s2@@Pusheenowaaa
I waited for this video the entire month. Few more days and i would have had to form my own opinion. 🤢
form your own opinion? eww that's gross
Nah, I would love to see your list
SO TRUEEEEEEEEEEEE
Wth man? Who does that?
What's an opinion??
Vinland saga slowly but surely became one of the best anime I've ever watched. I had never had a piece of media make me cry out of pure philosophycal introspection. It is amazingly deep and by far the best anime/season of 2023.
It is an awesome series!!
This is the real anime awards
In a year where we had Frieren, Thorfinn, Maomao, Aqua and Ruby, The Shibuya Incident, Akiras Zombie Apocalypse and the return of Hayao Miyazaki how could it not be an absolutely incredible year for anime?
2023 was absolutely amazing for anime with returning hits along with new bangers like Frieren, Oshi no ko, Zom 100, Hell paradise, apothecary diaries, undead unluck, heavenly delusion and many more. 2024 is already looking great with the amount of good sequels we are getting this year!
@@mdraj5655 Plus we've got new hits as well like Solo Leveling, Delicious In Dungeon, Chained Soldier and Metallic Rouge!
2024 in comparison seems like a blame year unfortunately 🥲
@@zackfair4332the year didn't even fully start yet
@@smirg2975 the animes announced so far are mostly sequels to series I dropped at some point lol, so...
Like Solo Leveling I knew about it one year ago, there is anime I know about that looks good coming out this year.
3 ànimes max
Frieren is No.2: HOW COULD YOU
Vinland Saga is No.1: Understandable, have a great day.
I had basically the same reaction xD
Keep forgetting VS came out last year, felt way longer ago.
I'm genuinely curious, reading frieren synopsis before it aired I too thought it's an easy 10/10. But watching it it felt like a 8.5/10. One of this most disappointing things was lack of "scars" from traveling alone, for example of hypothetical scars frieren casting a shield around when sleeping, or cooking meals only for her self, etc.
I can't understand why everyone thinks it should be top of the year.
@@nhpkm1 Because you lost the point of the show itself. She never really felt that loneliness until Himmel's death (rewatch the first episode if you want) therefore there are no "scars" from when she was travelling alone.
@@nhpkm1 The writer is generally a coward and fails to deliver much story beyond the actual premise. Even after being up-to-date on the manga, all I can say is that it's an enjoyable but unfulfilling story meant exclusively to entertain rather than to give you something to take away from it.
I'm so glad he mentioned Apothecary Diaries. That show is the full package, and I think most anime enjoyers would have fun watching it.
It's got an incredibly witty female lead who isn't just a pretty face, and it balances comedy and drama really well.
i've been coming back every year for god knows how long, watching your best of year series has been a ritual, keep doing you gigguk!
I actually really appreciate you didn't have a "hey whats up guys thanks for watching this video" segment at the end, it really made your piece about vinland hit so many times harder

thank you gigguk for that outro, no sponsor, no lighthearted segue, just the sheer brunt of emotional impact of that final statement, made it pierce so much deeper.
My god what a way to end the video, bravo.

I know right. His videos are so good
Bravo -Vince- Gigguk 👏
Anyone know what the outro song is?

The ending to the video on Vinland Saga earned you a subscriber, and this is my first time watching your stuff. Nice work!
Love all these so much, Frierens been what I've been waiting for and it came out so good
At this point someone should nominate gigguk for the best scriptwriter.
Beautifully written video and made me so satisfied with how you narrated for the top two.
Yeah he's one of the few UA-camrs left who actually write their own scripts
He's the last of a few from an old era of UA-cam.
yeah this is just peak UA-cam. Im always happy when I see a new Gigguk video came out. They are just always the best they can be
@@itsOZoneJust imagine hes been doing this for so long that he knows the entire history of the evolution of anime youtubers.
Really happy to see Skip and Loafer here. That show is criminally underrated, I've heard basically nobody talking about it. Great recap as always!
Im one of the guys who didnt care about it. Actually when I first see it, I think it was another slice of life anime with steriotypes with no personality. So I didnt even bother to watch. But now I see there is more to it. I will give it a try.
That was a goated season. Skip and Loafer, Insomniacs after School, Dangers in my heart, Tonikawa and Yamada 999 and those were just the romance/slice of life - Not to mention the popular ones like Oshi no Ko, Demon Slayer, Tengoku Daimakyou, Mashle, Gundam etc. A new episode too look forward to everyday. Good times, good times.
I watched it and sure it was good but definitely doesn’t deserve to be top 10 of this year
Same! I'm reading the manga and when i heard it was getting animated i was so happy! It's easily in my top 5 for 2023 cuz sometimes watching shows with so much action (jjk 2 , pluto etc) is a bit much for one season so something just cute, wholesome is a breathe of fresh air. 🥹
ONG!!
Amazing video, I'm glad I could finally watch it ❤
There are some muted sections tho. Copyright strike, I assume? =(
Thank you, Gigguk! I just migrated, was having a rough moment, and your video brought me home.

It's great to see how well-received this season of Vinland Saga has been this past year. The author Makoto Yukimura deserves all the credit in the world for crafting such an emotionally touching story.
Right on Money. Vinland and makoto supremacy
i cant wait for season 3! best waifu anyone? hild or gudrid? my votes on gudrid
Sadly I remembered a lot of complaints by people who wanted more of the same from season 1. Looking a gift horse in the mouth if you ask me

Okay, they made him mad now, now he will kick ass! And then he went all French on them and surrendered. DISHONORABLE!!!!
Vinland Saga makes me shutter and gives me chills just thinking about it. It’s honestly one of the best anime of all time
same here, Vinland Saga is the best anime I have ever seen
i really do agree. its a life changing anime
Clannad Afterstory is the best anime I have ever seen.
But Vinland Saga is the best of the last several years.
im fresh off finishing eminence in shadow and i love it, thank you gigguk, i havent had this much fun since jjk rewatch
When i saw Frieren in 2nd place, i was like "What could possibly top Frieren?" but as soon as i saw what it was, i remembered that Vinland Saga 2 was also a 2023 anime.
Same, at first I was wondering why then when I saw vinland saga i immediately went "no arguments king"
me too, i suddenly got flashbacks on how impactful was vinland season 2 when i watched it
yes congrats to thorfinn!
Exactly me. And I completely agree with that.
Imo Frieren is Top1. Everything in the Vinland Saga 2 is great except for Arnheid's arc, or rather herself, which is a lot of episodes.
I'm not crying about frieren. How can an anime make me so nostalgic for an adventure I never even watched
Frieren gives me the same vibe of finishing an amazing book or video game and feeling empty and satisfied at the same time.
I have outlived all my relatives and I didnt even know them
I am an elf
It's just a wannabe sad anime. Literally ripping off the concept of To Your Eternity but remove all the great writing.
@@iknowwatdadogdoin5454 yeah it got repetitve after frieren after every two seconds said:"_________ reminds me of himmel" lol. It really kills the interest I had in the initial episodes.
tbh friren kinda feels disconnected to me so i dont really feel much from it. its almost as if i will die anyway before i feel like friren does in my life.
Best video from you i have seen yet gigguk!!! Masterpiece
You're truly a master of your craft brotha.
You're depth of knowledge, coupled with humor, insight, raw human emotion-
You truly delivered an outstanding video that touches on the heartstrings of the soul.
🙏
goddamn, Gigguk, you know how to draw every drop of emotion out of your audience.
im not crying, you're crying
For real man, that final speech on Vinland hit me nearly as hard as the show itself did 🥲

Bro I swear skip and loafer single handedly carried me through last years exam period. Fucking breath of fresh air after constant studying
Ok imma watch it cuz of u
@@genoswolf9494it's great:) have fun and prepare for warmth and joy
For anyone who thinks that Skip and Loafer is your typical Shojo series for girls, the series is carried on Kodansha’s Afternoon magazine. The same magazine for top series such as Blade of the Immortal, Vinland Saga, Heavenly Dilution, Blue Period, Parasite, Mushishi, Blame, Land of the Lustrous, and much more. They’re all series aimed at mature audiences.
ive watched 4 episodes of it and so far i like it, during that time Yamada kun lvl 999 had me hooked on so i didn't give this series a try but it's pretty good so far i like it
I mean its amazing but aot and oshi no ko are better
The ending to this one video felt like a resonating heartbeat, I usually feel a quivering sensation when something perfectly fits into a picture. Vinland Saga has been a wonderful, cataclysmic ride
I dont remember subscribing bc im not huge on anime like that , but man this came up on my thing and i see why i did sub. you got me re intirested in so many new ones, and the quslity of work is solid, good video man
The moment the ost for Vinland saga started I went from “what could’ve topped Frieren” to actually crying.
So much discourse online nowadays is about “being a man” and I think Thors is one of the truest men I’ve witnessed in any media ever. Watching Thorfin realize what it truly means to love is so amazing. Idk I like to point to unique characters as the inspiration of my masculinity, the MC of bunnygirl is my usual go to but Vinland saga is truly just too beautiful
I give Vinland Saga a 7/10. I like it, and I absolutely LOVE the message and what its trying to say. I just wish the way they said it was executed better.
It felt a little too preachy and the things Thorfinn and Einar said were basically "Violence is bad, slavery is bad" on repeat for several episodes. The one moment that we can all say is goated is "I have no enemies"
W comment. And don't forget about the absolute legend Natsuki Subaru.
@@norwa3518 Yeah, because for a lot of episodes they were not the main focus. But I think that execution of the anime was just GOD tier
@@norwa3518 I'd like to respectfully push back just a little... I think the second season could be described this way, if Thorfinn and Einar are all you're focused on, but in order to absorb everything, you have to look at the season holistically. we all intuitively know that "violence is bad, slavery is bad" but if it's happening anyway, then what is actually doing that? what would need to change? that's really what this season is engaging with, and each character is a case study.
how did Thorfinn end up as a slave? you could say the simple answer... he attacked royalty and had to be punished somehow, and this was the best Canute could finagle without killing him. or you could go the complicated route and talk about how Askeladd was giving him directives all his life. Thorfinn would fulfill just about any insane condition if it meant getting a shot at dueling him, which was something that only ever ended in frustration and injuries anyway... Thorfinn is used to being hurt, and never getting what he wants, and following orders, so of course he ended up like this. enslavement is the status quo for him.
but then, even Askeladd wasn't really free. he acted like he was, because he could usually outplay anyone who tried to go against him, but when you sow resentment that freely, it eventually catches up. and in terms of people seeming like they're in control because they have power, or they can do violence, but who are actually beholden to many forces that are out of their control as well... this can apply to Ketil and Canute. Ketil is the master of his land, but he maintains it based on a false reputation of a violent man. if he doesn't seem enough like he is that guy, then he's busted. so he is beholden to the expectations of others, even though he's doing this to maintain what he thinks is power and control. Canute is this, but with like two whole countries' worth of people.
how did Arnheid end up as a slave? what ties does her situation have to our main characters, and where does she differ? I noticed that Arnheid's story reminded me of Einar's mother. her husband went off to fight and never came back... later, their village was attacked, and in the case of Einar's mother, she died with one of her children, and one survived. Einar and Arnheid are vulnerable in similar ways, but Arnheid is much more stuck than he is. and it's because she has value to Ketil.
Einar actually pointed this out pretty explicitly after their wheat field was destroyed... as slaves they're treated pretty poorly, unless someone likes them, in which case their rights are forfeit and they can't leave. damned if you do, damned if you don't. Thorfinn and Einar are almost safer _because_ they have nothing. how is a person supposed to navigate a situation like that?
a position atop this power hierarchy is what Ketil is struggling to maintain by performing his role for others. even if all he wants is safety and security, this is a man who thinks he deserves more safety and security than other people, and he'll stand on their backs in order to have it. people resent that. how is a man like this supposed to maintain peace? how is a man like Canute supposed to do the same for England and Denmark?
it's not just "violence bad, slavery bad" but the realization that these things create a cycle of desperation. what violent or exploitative things would a man do, just to escape violence and exploitation himself? if you ever catch yourself thinking that this is the only way, you're getting sucked into the cycle too. "I have no enemies" is how you stop resentment at the one thing you can control: yourself.
Man, you basically read my mind.
"Change isn't just something that exists in the boundaries of a fictional story. It doesn't come easy. It's a long, hard, unforgiving road, but you can get there, even if every day you only take one small step at a time. We will always find a reason to fight each other, no matter what time period we are in, weapons we can use or tools we have at our disposal. But no matter how broken you think the world is, there is still meaning in trying to build a better tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow I can make a brighter day come. Maybe tomorrow I can be just that little bit kinder. Mabye tomorrow I can become a slightly better version of myself. You are capable of letting go of that hatred, even it that hatred is towards yourself. You have no enemies."
Well spoken. A very important message we've been given there. Words to live by.
this made me cry...
from the start to "one small step at a time" made me think bro was gonna make a joke about rudy ed
He was cooking with the script
Cool quote!
How the fuck do I always end up crying at these Anime Of The Year videos. You've got me 3 years in a row now. I hope you're proud of that, Gigguk, since I don't get emotional by media too often. Your scriptwriting is top-tier. Well fucking done!
its called being soft as fuck
Oh my. Thank You for including Trigun Stampede in the list. So under appreciated. The best new finding of the year for me. I knew nothing about the old version. This was a bona fide SciFi!!
"You have no enemies. No one in the world does." That line said by Thors so long ago really does mean a lot even now.
shame the manga constantly disproves the mangaka's philosophy. thors dies to a random stranger a few chapters later because the bloke was paid to kill him, not to mention all the people slaughtered just because they had the misfortune to live in someone else's path. you have enemies, they want to kill you and your naivety while sounding pleasant while you are safe will ultimately leave you defenceless when violence comes for you
@@Laughing_ChinamanI wouldn't say disprove but for this utopic philosopy to become a reality it would needs for everyone to apply it, and not everyone does. While it feels like Thorfin and his companions are but small fish in a vast ocean, they try to make a change, they at least make the first step so that those words can light the way. There can be no change if no one is trying and we all know through history that some big change happened because people kept trying (of course a lot of people failed along the way but they tried). Have a good day
@@Laughing_Chinaman That doesn't disprove anything, not everyone shares the same philosophy. Imagine what could be accomplished if people could let go of hate, grudges, and war. If there is even the slightest hint of that being possible, to avoid all these terrible things, why not at least try?
@@guydunn8259 because pacifists get their necks cut by non-pacifists. its all well and good to not go out and make enemies but to bury your head in the sand and pretend only gets you defenceless and dead
@@Laughing_Chinamanjust because thors died doesnt mean he was wrong. Death is merely a part of life. The purpose of life isn't to live as long as you can, that would be depressing tbh. Having no enemies is from one angle an ancient stoic philosophy and thorfinn's development has a lot of stoic elements. There will most certainly be people out there who wants to hurt you but that doesn't diminish your ability to choose to reject hurting him back. You have a will of your own, and you have power over your mind - not outside events. To have no enemies is to not give into your carnal and primal desires, but rise above it. You do good because Its easier to do harm than to do good; It's to choose peace when most people would choose violence. Isn't a human's greatest privilege the ability to change his nature? Become better and do great things? Violence is an impulse driven act and only kids act on impulses so isnt it fair to say that violence is a child's game? Maybe grow up then and simply recognize: that they're humans too, just like you, that they act out of ignorance, and against their will, and that you'll be dead before long. And above all that they haven't really hurt you; as they haven't diminished your freedom to choose how to react, or to not react at all.
K am I the only one that basically had an emotional outburst when he said "I have no enemies" ? shit was BEAUTIFUL

"I have no enemies" is something i wish i could actually believe and say to myself.
Great video Garnt. Love it
That descripton about Vinland Saga is the reason why I'm subscribed
I guess I had my guard down but hearing that soundtrack from Frieren almost got me teary eyed. Such a powerful and meaningful show.
Forreal the music is so good at sucker punching you
The music is excellent, I was expecting it and even with that I instantly got nostalgic for an adventure I haven't been in, truly LOTR level stuff
I didnt even watch the show and I was tearing up.
YESSS. Imo the best thing in Freiren is the ost first then the godly animation
@@fan4every1lol89 I forgot how good the animation was, but the background art I think was also fairly good, really made everything look so, calm, and the characters are also great
Heavenly delusion is the most underrated anime ive seen in years
i think it's just gone a bit unnoticed because of all the popular anime this year but i think most people who've seen it agree that it's amazing
86
You mean overrated. It has a small community of people who believe it is actually a good anime. People who think it's ok the main girl was raped for days chained to a bed, and the characters and story move on a chapter later like it's no big deal. FUCK THAT ANIME.
Agree, the ending sucks ass
I feel like bungo stray dogs is the most underrated anime I’ve seen in years. I do not hear anyone talk about it (like UA-camrs and streamers) but whenever I see comments about it it’s always super positive. Idk I just feel like it’s super under appreciated & in like 5 years people will look back on it as a sleeper anime for sure
Watching gigguk’s love for oreimo pleases me. Gotta love the nostalgia everytime i see the music or references from the show anywhere hehe
8:52 Trigun stampede was the borderlandsian post apocalyptic space western I never thought I really needed but I REALLY NEEDED

Heavenly delusion was one of the most underated and best shows i've seen this year, and im glad i watched it.
In heavenly delusion, the main character (girl) is raped for 2 days chained to a bed before the other main character rescues her. The rapist gets off free, with nothing but a punch. Both protagonists are then back to their comedy antics the next chapter like nothing happened. I'll let you judge for yourself now if this is the kind of show you want to watch.
It came out in 2023?

I love how much appreciation the farmland arc is getting tbh, this was very risky narrative choice Yukimura picked given the usual target audience he had to appeal but he still went for the route that made him tell the story he wanted to tell.
And im so grateful he did because that arc is something that touched me to the core.
28:35 Himmel putting the ring on frieren with that music playing in the background is just perfection,

@@jnieto490nah she barely knew him
With Freiren, it's not even that she took it for granted, it's just that everything is so _short_ in the face of eternity. You see it again, and again, that she picks up on so many small things about her friends; small actions she does, items she buys, magic she learns, and food she makes. There's something for everyone, a spell to turn grapes sour, a spell to grow flowers that you've seen, and so on. I find that the best part of the story, because it too doesn't spell these things out for you. A character may have mentioned that he likes sour grapes in her past, and some twenty years after Himmel's death, she finds a spell that does wxactly that.
What are you even trying to say? What is it that you like about Freiren? I think a lot of things are spelt out or obvious in the anime
MY CONTENT + YFGA IS BETTER THAN GIGGUK + ALL OF ANIME🤣🤣.
Eisen says at one point that he likes sour grapes
@@BboyReso what are the obvious things in the anime?
your intro commentary to some of these anime were beautiful. Great job!
I was super happy to see Trigun Stampede getting so much attention! I'm really excited for season two :)
I can proudly tell the "I have no enemies" scene is my favorite scene of the year and one of my favorite scene of all time
Very true my friend

True, such a deep yet simple lesson this anime gave us for life. Those who watched it know. Cheers to us fellow comrades, avoid wars, be kind!
Whats ur fav
Even as an older anime fan, watching anime this year was like seeing my new favorite anime of all time one after the other. All of the shows on this list were outstanding.
Watching the Attack on Titan finale with all my friends and I who have followed the show since the beginning was a very special moment. This show meant so much to those of us who grew up with this show.
Something I noticed this year is anime seemed to become a lot more "mature". I saw more shows with more complex themes and overarching messages that really resonated with me. As a viewer it was really rewarding seeing how much thought was put not only into the storytelling by the authors, but also how much attention to detail and care was demonstrated by the animation studios who did the adaptations.
Watching your annual recap video is always a highlight of the new year. I'm always blown away at how you're able to improve on these videos every year, well done again!
You grew up with AOT but consider yourself an “older” anime fan?
Yeah, this year's anime we're really good. And the fights in Frieren going on right now have a totally different vibe because, all of them act like how you would act in a fight.
@@mookiestewart3776.... the first season came out 10 years ago, that's pretty fucking old
@@LORDdrPepperPersonally I don't consider anything past 2010 to be old
@@mookiestewart3776 i'm right around the age of Garnt and Joey, AoT aired when i was in the middle of HS. it would not be wrong to say i'm an older fan and also grew up with it. Even if it was on the tail end lol i consider anything before i started college as "growing up with it"
amazing video, loved it entirely from start to finish, but the way UA-cam hit me with 8 ads in those 32min is insane xD
I just finished Vinland Saga a couple of days ago. I thought that i'm fine, that i'm ok, that i've got this. And then you drop "I have no enemies". I shed a tear, which made me understand: it had more impact on me then i thought.
Can’t wait for the plot twist on the number 1 position in the yearly Gigguk’s anime ranking
We all know it’s gonna be 100 girlfriends
I think it's Vinland Saga
I think it's aot but maybe i am biased as hell.
To those who watched the Trash Taste podcast beforehand....
@@army128 and were WRONG
Man you are talking about all these unbelievable good animes that came out this year and because of that one thing gets unnoticed by many. And that is your video quality. The amount of work you put in there is just unbelievable. The editing, perfect amount of comedy and being serious if you have to and that ending that is peak UA-cam!! Thanks for these awesome videos Gigguk
Literally every other comment praises the video quality
I'm pretty sure Alan (BakaShift) still does the editing for Gigguk.
EDIT: There are several editors actually.
Audio needs some work though. This mic is constantly louder in the left channel, and the #12 anime has audio cut out inexplicably for the first few seconds.
@@PiggyMcCultRead the description.
Thanks Man. I can see some of these stories have lessons to offer and should be watched for that purpose.
Great list! You had some of my favorite anime of all time on here (Eminence in Shadow, Frieren, AOT, JJK, etc.)
I love the yearly recap man, it always brings up anime that I missed. Thank you.
MY CONTENT + YFGA IS BETTER THAN GIGGUK + ALL OF ANIME🤣.
This year was insanely good for anime. And Heavenly Delusion is the crown jewel of 2023 for me.
In heavenly delusion, the main character (girl) is raped for 2 days chained to a bed before the other main character rescues her. The rapist gets off free, with nothing but a punch. Both protagonists are then back to their comedy antics the next chapter like nothing happened. I'll let you judge for yourself now if this is the kind of show you want to watch.
I would have agreed if it wasn't for that last episode. It dropped the ball so hard that I'm not even sure I'll watch a second season
Personally, watching basically two or three story lines play alongside each other has just made me WANT s2. Trying to figure out how it all connects cant wait to see it
@rosssteyn4189 I am incredibly eager to see it all play out. After each episode, I just thought about everything for like 5 minutes and crafted some theories. I was right pretty often but most of the time, the story took such an unexpected turn, which was amplified by me connecting the dots immediately after. I am going to watch it again right before season 2 to try and find more information. Can't wait!
I SWEAR IT WAS A CLOUDY DAY WHERE I LIVE AND THE SUN CAME OUT WHEN GIGGUK WAS GIVING HIS FINAL WORDS IN THE VINLAND SAGA SPEECH 😂😂
another banger video you one of if not my fav content creator thanks for all the work and love in your videos best wishes
Finally some Pluto respect
The best thing I watched last year
Pluto needs more popularity that show is incredible, even if it was written 20 years ago it’s greaf
Overated. 😅
@@LucasdeFarias *Underrated
@@LucasdeFariasAint no way.. Vinland saga and Jjk are overrated.. so much unfinished work 🥱
Personally, Vinland saga season 2> Vinland saga season 1. Every line that Thorfinn says in Season 2 just hits different man.
Vinland Saga S2 is that much better because we already got Season 1. Only because of S1 we know Thorfinn and his journey and S2 is the payoff of that. So I will say its not fair to compare them theyre both are the same stairway just different steps of it.
s2 wouldn't have been what it is without Askeladd's actions and decisions in s1
Love season 2 but season 1 felt like the golden age arc for me, just so damn peak and self contained
hell no, it was an awful downgrade
S2 was ok but I do miss best boys Thorkell and Askeladd
24:13
This is a very impressive sequence. Props to the artistic choices and insane editing skills.
Anyone know the music being used in this sequence? Got me hyped up
@@vizzz7315First is one of the Sukuna themes, it is then fused with Gojo's theme (Hollow Purple)
@@vizzz7315Thunderclap and Hollow Purple
The music is thunderclap from JJK @@vizzz7315
I didn’t know that you voiced anything this year congrats really cool seeing you coming up in this space
I kinda hoped that Link Click Season 2 would make it into the list (even if its a donghua)- it's one of my personal favorites this year. It takes its premise and turns it in such a unique way that I've never seen being made before! The animation quality has improved EXPONENTIALLY and the cliffhanger at the end felt like being hit by a truck in true Link Click fashion... Also it's rare that almost every single soundtrack, bgm and ost go so hard that I listen to them privately on repeat- honestly the music, the op's and ed's and especially the sound design is absolutely incredible. A personal must watch from me and a big recommendation!
Yeah, its definitely in my top 5 or 7 of this year
And once again with a cliffhanger ending
Well it's not an anime, can't do much,.. Absolutely peak though
SAME. I've been listening to the songs on repeat. It's just damn good. Hopefully Garnt will continue to watch season 2 soon. Kinda want to know his opinions on it.
Wait its out?
this is the only anime i watched last year, and s3 will be the only anime I'll watch next year
I don't know if it was a choice by gig or his editor but whoever chose dirty hary to play during the trigun scenes. You are a real one

@@cowdudefan1236 If you're aiming at an audience of autistic redditors, then you've definitely hit the mark.
Thank you for the splicing in GTA car-falling-down-a-racetrack-in-the-sky, I wasn't sure how I would make it through the video otherwise. Instantly boosted it to 7/5 stars.
W video Gigguk, also I would definitely love a 20th century boys anime adaptation
If you understand german, the character names in Frieren are really fun. An example would be one of Aura the Guillotine's henchman called Lord Lügner which translates to Lord Liar.
so you basically know what some characters are about before even seeing what they do in the anime.
It sucks to have almost all the openings muted the second time you watch the video.
Capitalism copyrights I assume?
Yeah it was so hard to watch the video when so much of the sound and dialogue disappeared…
@@SoulWhite Ah yes, copyrights, the definitive characteristic of a free market...
@@CHIEF__ I hate the government so much. Don't worry, I'll fix it soon. GOD's honor

Gigguk is just so damn good at these yearly recaps. The narratives he spins around these shows are so powerful, I find my eyes welling up multiple times while watching. He is just such a compelling writer.
14:42 c’mon man 😂, skip and loafer really was a breath of fresh air and a fun surprise this past year.

"Don't worry, i come in peace"
"Hi, whats your name???"
"Peace...."

BANG, and my jaw hit the wall!

Fricking Hakari
LMFAO
And it just had to be Hakari
Thanks for giving Skip and Loafer some much deserved love :)) def one of my favs of all time
JJK was a goat. Looked over it at first because the MC was rocking a weird haircut. I gave it a chance one drunken Monday night. Went to sleep thinking saying "HELL YEAH" 😁

Another great recap of the year. I always look forward to your recaps. It's nice to get a broad look at the shows that have come out and since I have fairly similar tastes it helps me seeing the ones you really get something out of. Keep up the great work man.
This video right here is why i subbed to you my guy, Brilliant from beginning to end. Thank you.
Frieren is a fantastic show. Amazing story telling and some very beautiful animations. That show should be anime of the year imho.
Best anime ranking I have seen so many worthy recommendations to look forward
31:03 The ending is just so darn beautiful. Those year-end anime recaps always hit you with these deep and thoughtful advice and speeches. This one's gotta be one of the best I've ever heard.

Your videos are such a treat Garnt , thank you for making me fall in love with anime again and again when I get saturated
First video I have seen of yours and your commentary geeks bro lmao
deadass just shed a tear love you gigguk
5:14 sound just cuts out? anyone else?
Same here
Must be copyright
Thought it was on purpose. I couldn't wait to hear another sounds aside from the moan I heard so I can convince people I wasn't watching p*rn but I never came.
He says why in the pinned comment.
I just assumed it was on purpose, but it's actually copyright issues.
Vinland Saga is the most human story I've ever seen in anime. It's a story about all of us. About how low we can fall, and how high we can climb when we get back up.
Facts
meh... Watch VIKINGS, all 6 seasons... More entertaining...
nah Oreimo takes that place
Yes.
@@kalad000boring as fuck
You have no enemies❤ great recap loved the poetry
The Vinland saga segment is genuinely emotional
Skip and loafer is just that personal comfy vibe of the year. Cant stop loving it
