Just 1 more year brother. Frieren S2 will be Anime of the decade, Macht is a generational character, and he is not the only thing that is going to be good about S2.
I’ve really dropped off watching anime this year. I rinsed a boat load of interesting shows in the past 19 years (modern and vintage). I wasn’t planning on watching any anime, but Frieren caught my eye and I was hooked. Definitely a recommendation for us anime veterans.
I only watched a few episodes of it, but I think people that have become jaded about anime will enjoy Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction. very unique vibe, and the first proper adaptation of a genius mangaka's work pretty much given the treatment it deserves. it feels super relevant and timely, too. One of those classic 'aliens have invaded but the real villain is man's hubris and stupidity' type of stories.
I have been watching animé since 96, every year I try to watch new anime with a fresh mental slate.. However, I only start watching in the last part of the year to give shows a chance to end
I think they are taking from Fall 2023 up to the end of Summer 2024. So, the Fall 2024 series will be up for next year, weird, but that seems to be the criteria. Crunchyroll awards has the same set up.
Frieren was just perfect in every way Delicious in Dungeon was surprisingly way better than it had any right to be And DandaDan (Can't believe that's not on here) is just genuinely funny, badass and even light hearted at times. This year was fantastic for anime.
Yep Frieren was brilliant. though its probably only about 24min, they made it feel so much longer. yet without it feeling like a drag. they covered so much emotion, story with you wanting more.
I loved Frieren: Beyond Journey's End! I can't tell you how many times I watched the show, but it was alot! My copy of the blu-ray might even be arriving at my house tomorrow! Can't wait to rewatch the show again!
@@Master10k2 I have seen everything here too and i think Dandadan brings something unique. It combines Romcom with Comedy and Fights! the animation made by Science Saru makes it pretty unique too. I think that it really deserves a place here.
@@optimus_slime I respectfully disagree. Dandadan is very good specially some episodes get crazy. But frieren is more consistent overall with a better storyline and narrative. Dandadan is wacky and fun but it lacks clear narrative atleast it's the impression I got after watching the first season of frieren and dandadan.
Apothecary Diaries is a perfect show, but it has to fit what you’re looking for, otherwise you might lose interest. Whereas Frieren appeals to a wider variety of fans, and is enjoyable across the board.
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Season 3 was/is my favorite, and it wasn't even mentioned. I also love Dandadan/ Dan Da Dan and Orb: On the Movements of the Earth. There's just too many new anime to cover in a short video about the Best Anime Series of 2024.
The reason bleach and many other animes weren’t on the list or mentioned is due to when they were released. Shows that had episodes released from fall to the end of the year aren’t qualified. Bleach and many other animes will be in the 2025 awards. frieren was released in fall of 2023
@@townsiteproductions I know it says just that in the description. I didn't read the description until after I made the comment. The 3 I mentioned were still ongoing in 2024, so they weren't eligible for anime of the year.
Why haven't ppl heard orb on the movement of earth. I think its one of the best anime of the year. Its an ongoing series and wow just purely amazing. I personally feel it has the potential to win Anime of the year and yet ppl will choose Dan Da Dan without even watching Orb. So its a humble request to please try "Orb on the movement of earth" before casting the vote this year🙏. I don't want the same mistake as JJK vs Vinland saga to repeat.
Its insane how overrated frieren is. It starts of great but gets really bland fast. The exam arc felt like watered down hunter x hunter. I have never seen an arc that was caried harder by great animation than this one.
Exam arcs are just mid in any anime tbh cheap way to introduce characters, large majority of them are just fodder and it drags on for way too long, frieren case in point.
ORB, Yatagarasu & Dead Dead Demons are easily the best new titles to come out this year! Adding Frieren & Apothecary Diaries (even tho they were Top Tier) feels absolutely stupid when the show came out last year but for some reason Fall lineup can't be talked about until a year later -
well, their second halves did air this year. I understand not considering them until the next year, but that's definitely not how my personal lists work at least. I have Apothecary Diaries and Frieren on both my 2023 and 2024 lists, but Frieren is higher ranked in 2023 because I liked the episodes that aired within that year better than those that aired in 2024.
they started last year, but what's even close to it in this year? like seriously, name me a single anime of 2024 that's the same level as Frieren(it will take you long even if you go for all years, not just 2024)

Dandadan, ReZero, Spice and Wolf, Kaiju N8, True Beauty, Oshi No KO, Shangri La, so many I enjoyed. The Apothecary and Delicious in Dungeon didn't do it for me.

That show was kinda weak writing wise tbh. Story, characters, and comedy all could’ve been so much better. I think it got by mostly on its looks (movie quality animation). There were way better SoL/romance genre shows that premiered this year imo (eg. Rama or Blue Box).

This video covers anime from fall 2023 to summer 2024
That's the reason why no fall 2024 anime is covered
Even Crunchyroll has seen the light in how stupid that is
not like it would change much. Frieren is still top for both 2023 and 2024.

Frieren or Dungeon Meshi. Dandadan too new to be nominate but its anime of the year for me.
DanDaDan is fkn great, i enjoyed every second of it. but its still not tops Frieren, that anime is one of a kind.
