For the past year, it's been a great run. Tho you know old heads would complain new anime is shyt :russ:. Still too much anime def gets made but the quality at the top has really been having a great run.

But within the last year in no order

  • Frieren
  • Apothecary Diaries
  • SLF
  • Hyakkano
  • Dungeon Meshi
  • The Dangers in My Heart
  • Kingdom
  • Konosuba's return
  • Spice & Wolf Remake
  • Girls Band Cry
  • Black Butler's return
  • Yatagarasu
  • Elusive Samurai
  • NieR Automata
  • Monogatari's return
  • Dandadan
  • Re: Zero's return
  • Dragon Ball's return
  • DanMachi
  • Bleach TYBW
  • Orb
  • Ranma Remake
  • Urusei Yatsura Remake finishing up
  • S2 of Rurouni Kenshin Remake
In terms of top-notch adaptations would put Frieren, Monogatari & Dandadan at the top. If you told me back when CSM aired that when Dandadan would surpass CSM in anime popularity, I would never have believed you. Hell I didn't think they could do the Dandadan manga justice, but the cinematography is so good, which is why I put it at the same level as Frieren & Monogatari.
I totally agree. Frieren and Dandadan are the two best examples of an anime managing to not just give a great manga its proper adaptation, but to elevate the source material. That's ESPECIALLY impressive to me with the Acrobatic Silky backstory, because I know they had to be ambiguous about certain things (the rooftop leap), just to get it on-air.

The only downside is that some good anime are gonna get slept on and slip by because the elite stuff is drowning out their attention.
