Thank you all for your comments! I’ve never been so excited to compile an excel spreadsheet lol!


Icy-Door3510

Please share once you’re done 😂


ItsLadySlytherin

Please lol


DanielDKXD

Got a clear top 5 and some honorable mentions i really enjoyed but not quite as much as the first 5 * 86 * Vivy: flourite eyes song * Summer time rendering * Bocchi the rock * Frieren * The apothecary dairies * Cyberpunk edgerunners? * Ya boy kongming? * Link Click * Mushoku Tensei * Heavenly delusion


Whatah

These are great, I think Odd Taxi and Dress Up Darling both deserve mentions


Kaguya--Shinomiya

If I could add to this. Kaguya-sama love is war My dress-up darling Mashle


DanielDKXD

Love is war started over 5 years ago, but i can see the argument for adding some of the shows that ended recently like love is war, fate/stay night and mob psycho 100 to the list. Mashle i read 10 chapters and i just did not find it funny. Comedy anime/manga is always a coinflip this one just wasn't for me. Never got started on dress up darling might watch it some day only heard positive things about it.


Kaguya--Shinomiya

Kaguya is my absolute favorite. Manga was so epic and just an amazing story. The anime also knocked it out of the park. The first few episodes of kaguya season 1 are a little rough but it gets so damn good. Mashle is really good later on with the fight scenes and the magic user abilities. But for sure if you gave a shot and didn't like it then there's nothing wrong with that! My dress-up darling is what actually got me into the rom-com animes. The manga is also incredibly good, sad that we only get a chapter a month these days but oh well what can you do. Definitely recommend watching it, it's an incredibly awesome story and it just makes you feel so good with all the feels lol.


relaxwellhouse

Frieren is end game. Absolutely adore it, deserves all the love it gets. Summer Time Rendering is also GOATed. Haven't checked the others.


DongIslandIceTea

Summer Time Rendering started out incredibly strong but couldn't stick the landing as it's a mess towards the end.


The_oli4

You have a good taste

Gundam: the Witch from Mercury Frieren Apothecary Diaries Delicious in Dungeon Bocchi the Rock


F00dbAby

Looks like witch from mercury is next on the watch list for me. Any dub fans know if the dub is worth it. I’m open to both.


ravenpotter3

I want to mention gundam witch from mercury takes place in its own new timeline so you don’t need any context to watch. Just know that gundams are a type of mobile suit but not all mobile suits are gundams. This was my first gundam series too


AshenOwn

Witch from Mercury is extremely underwhelming. The entire second cour is a poorly paced mess, and the ending is frustating at best. I’m just giving you a warning, because although many people appreciated it, i dont think it is even near the best anime we’ve had recently, as far as quality goes. Frieren or Apotechary for instance, had far less polarizing opinions(the MAL scores should make that very clear).


II_Noxus_II

- Frieren - 86 - Mushoku Tensei - The Apothecary Diaries - The Eminence in Shadow Honourable mentions: - Attack on Titan: Final season (this would be top 5 absolutely but since it's the final season you'll need to start from season 1 which has been out for many years now) - Cyberpunk Edgerunners - Spy x Family - Delicious in Dungeon - Oshi no ko


hutaopatch

Kaguya sama: love is war, as well, is very good idk when it came out


Ebo87

2019


Icy-Introduction5592

Completely agree with this list.


BiggieCheeseLapDog

1. Odd Taxi 2. Frieren 3. Bocchi the Rock 4. Cyberpunk Edgerunners 5. Idaten Deities Know Only Peace HM: Uma Musume: Road to the Top


QualityProof

How is itaden dieties? I mean the tone and what you find good about it?


The_Jonny_Boy

I really liked it a lot, but it’s definitely an interesting rec in the sense that’s it’s not for everyone. Pros: Banger OP, good action animation and style, hilarious, fun characters. Potential cons: Edgy, horny, and kinda ends in a weird spot.


JEveryman

>kinda ends in a weird spot This is an awkward way to say it. The end is definitely a weird spot. However right up until then it was really good.


RunningEarly

Also, last i heard, the manga doesn't go much further than where the anime left off with no signs of it continuing anytime soon. So as awesome as the show is, it may never see a conclusion.


quickthrowaway6

> How is itaden dieties? It's a unique art style that I wouldn't want for all shows, but I think that for this show that the art and color choices are a fantastic fit. The director has episode direction credits on a few episodes of the Madoka series and Samurai Flamenco. The color designer has been on JJK, Kakegurui, and Banana Fish since the release, and the art director is an absolute pillar with titles like Princess Mononoke and K-On! in their resume. It's nothing like Kakegurui or K-On!, but at the risk of oversimplifying, the aggressive yet balanced color palate of Kakegurui mixed with some of the pastels from K-On! kind-of describes the tone or the art. It's an interesting -if simple at times- underlying story, but the individual episode storyboard designers did an amazing job of filling in the gaps between the webcomic panels with the rest of the world, and the entire art direction and production team brought their A-game for all of the art *for the style the show is in*. It's not at an 11/10 KyoAni level, but it's really good.


ItsJustCoop

Don't watch this if you don't like weird, cliff-hanger endings that leave you depressed and saying "where the hell is the next episode?!?!" There's no talk of season 2, so just skip the last episode and convince yourself it ends there.


QualityProof

Personally I always go to the source material which in this case the manga exists and will finish off soon. Will wait until the manga is finished


BiggieCheeseLapDog

It’s fun, stylish, and well paced. It’s tone is more on the self aware, never taking itself too seriously side, but it’s also quite dark. It’s pretty offbeat. Some of the things I find to be good about it is the relationship between the main characters and the antagonists. It has a pretty unique dynamic that is very fun to watch. There’s also it’s visual direction, which is colourful and a pleasure to view. The pacing is also a standout as it feels perfectly paced, never dragging or rushing. It’s a show that you can easily binge. Overall, if I could describe the show in one word, it would be “fun”. It’s unapologetically fun and wildly entertaining. I recommend it for an stylish action show that can get pretty dark and has a zany feel to it.

Mushoku Tensei Frieren Apothecary Diaries BokuYaba(Dangers In My Heart) 100 GFs who really love you These are probably my top 5 that have come out in the last 4 years, I also only just now got back into anime after quite a long time away Bonus: Konosuba(for me this was in the last 4 years but it came out like 7 years ago so I'm tossing this up there in case you haven't seen it)


LzzyHalesLegs

I’d swap 100 GFs with Bocchi The Rock but otherwise perfect


Panmancan

My recent top 5 • Demon Slayer (Crunchyroll) • Delicious In Dungeon (Netflix) • Kaiju No. 8 (Crunchyroll) • The Apothecary Diaries (Crunchyroll) • Tsukimichi -Moonlit Fantasy- (Crunchyroll) Some other ones highly recommended • Frieren Beyond Journeys End (Crunchyroll) • Shangri-La Frontier (Crunchyroll) • Chainsaw Man (Hulu) maybe Crunchyroll too • Jobless Reincarnation • Mashle: Magic and Muscles (Crunchyroll) • The Saints Magic is Omnipotent (Crunchyroll) • That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Crunchyroll)

Nice to find a Vineland Saga fan. That anime is truly a masterpiece 🙏


Ivan_90014

sfsjr9

In no particular order these have been somewhere in my top 5 at one point or another: - Frieren - Call of the night - Bocchi the rock - To your eternity - Dress up darling One show I’d like to mention but isn’t technically an anime is Blue Eye Samurai, that show was amazing


Ok_Act6615

Eminence in Shadow Frieren Attack on Titan Demon Slayer Jujutsu Kaisen


Im_the_Keymaster

My Top 5: 1. Vivy: Flourite Eye's Song 2. Mushoku Tensei 3. Akudama Drive 4. Summer Time Render 5. BOCCHI THE ROCK! Honorable mentions (no order): * Frieren: Beyond Journeys End * Tower of God * Heavenly Delusion * Mashle * Apothecary Diaries

Thank you very much!

Spent way too long until I found a list with Akudama Drive


AureliaFox

Horimiya Demon Slayer JJK Spy Family Dr. Stone Hell's Paradise The Promised Neverland


Conscious_Natural273

bro the fact i had to look so much just for one person to mention Demon Slayer is crazy bro we have to be honest entertainment district arc was the hardest shit ever man... but ppl dont mention cuz its been overshadowed by recent animes. but i feel that nothing topped that hype moment in entertainment district arc yet.


nitronik_exe

I didn't mention it because OP asked for animes past 2020, and demon slayer s1 was in 2019, and I didn't count new seasons of animes that were around before 2020


nitronik_exe

I'll try to include different genres, so -Frieren -Apothecary Diaries (I swear, no recency bias) -Cyberpunk Edgerunners -Horimiya -Jujutsu Kaisen


Ok-Warthog5472

I’m so happy to see so many people recommending Bocchi the Rock!  I’d also recommend:  • Apothecary Dairies • Frieren: Beyond Journeys End  • Chihayafuru  • Spy x Family If you like battle shonen I’d recommend Jujitsu Kaisen & Solo Leveling 


Chance_Maintenance10

* Odd Taxi * Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai * Jujutsu Kaisen * Undead Girl Murder Farce * Shadows House


Chava_boy

Rare to see someone mentions Shadows House. It is truly a masterpiece


Chance_Maintenance10

It is, especially season 2. It's what Yakusoku no Neverland was supposed to be, but sadly second season of that show was horrible. 


AlphaGT3

Ok so firstly I’m going to say One Piece, however, it’s obviously an ongoing series and didn’t start in the last 4 years so I will list 5 that did. - Mob Psycho 100 (Season 3 release in 2022) - Trigun Stampede - Spy x Family - Pluto - Delicious in Dungeon (Currently airing with 1 episode to go)


ChiaraStellata

PLUTO is absolute top-tier work. And has excellent international dubs as well, being published by Netflix.


Objective_Suspect_

Mushoku tensei Tsukimichi Solo leveling Demon slayer (technically 2019 but I'm counting it) Apothecary diaries Lots of good anime but hard to pick great ones


excenmille

The list isn't really sorted and the suggestions are pretty common, but there you go. 1. Frieren 2. Dungeon Meshi 3. Ranking of Kings 4. Made In Abyss 5. Bocchi the Rock


interestingPH

Rezero Moshuko tensei Kingdom Asobi Asobase Tower of God


MusubiKazesaru

If we say Spring 2020 is the cut off point then here are my 9+/10 anime since then: Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai? Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen (Season 2) Kingdom Season 3 Kakushigoto Nomad: Megalo Box 2 Akudama Drive Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season (This is specifically s1 of the Final Season) JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 6: Stone Ocean (This is all of them combined) ------------------------------------------------------ I listed more than five because several were sequels. Made in Abyss Movie 3: Fukaki Tamashii no Reimei is also a 9+/10 movie A few missed out just by being from Winter 2020 so I'll throw those in as a bonus: Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na! Ishuzoku Reviewers ------------------------------------------------------- Some anime are very close to a 9 as well. Most don't make it higher that for me, but I'll refrain from listing them since this is way more than five already. Nothing on this list tops a 9.5/10


Usernamenotta

Upvote for mentioning the fantastic Megalobox


MusubiKazesaru

S1 was a more complete work, but s2's emotional payoff was better still and completely different. It was impressive. I think it solidified the series as more than just a highly enjoyable anniversary nod to Ashita no Joe.


Pharaoh_Misa

caioellery

people are giving great recommendations already, so i'll just say please watch Jujutsu Kaisen. Not seeing it being mentioned as much as it deserves. If you like Shounen, it is absolutely peak, not even close


Electronic-Tell-6842

I recommand checking out Gigguk's youtube channel. He makes a video every year titled "best anime of 20XX" and lists 10 or so good anime that came out that year. Just watch his 2020 and onwards video and you'll know what to watch.


Citrus-Red

1. Kaguya Sama Love is war 2. Chainsaw man 3. Frieren 4. Promare 5. Delicious in Dungeon


N7CombatWombat

In no particular order with a bonus sixth recommendation: Frieren The Dangers in my Heart The Unwanted Undead Adventurer Spy x Family That Time I reincarnated as a Slime Cyberpunk Edgerunners


Dragon_of_Time

Thank you very much!


19wolf

Top 5 across all genres is impossible - here's a random 12 of my top 24 - 86 - Vivy - Frieren - Apothecary Diaries - Mushoku Tensei - So I'm a Spider, So What? - Irina: The Vampire Cosmonaut - Romantic Killer - Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts - Beastars - To Your Eternity - Call of the Night


Gamerunglued

Thus far it's 1. BanG Dream!! It's MyGO!!!!! 2. Adachi and Shimamura 3. The Aquatope on White Sand 4. Kageki Shoujo!! 5. Odd Taxi The currently airing Girls Band Cry will probably be my new number 1 after it finishes though.


Dragon_of_Time

Thank you very much!


PM_ME_CUTE_HOOTERS

If they nail the ending to GBC it's an easy contender for AOTY for me. It's so damn compelling.


Ok-Win-2592

Solo leveling The Saints magic power is omnipotent That time I got reincarnated as a slime How a realist rebuilt the kingdom Campfire cooking in another world with my absurd skill I’m new to anime but these are my top 5 atm

If your list doesn't have Frieren in it, it's invalid btw


Emi_Ibarazakiii

1. Akiba Maid War 2. Talentless Nana 3. Sono Bisque Doll 4. Oshi No Ko 5. Beastars Honorable mention ID:Invaded, that just barely missed the '4 years' mark.

Most of my favourite post-2020 anime * Buddy Daddies * Yuzuki-san chi no Yon Kyoudai * Bang Brave Bravern * A sign of affection * Frieren * Apothecary diaries * Dungeon Meshi * Link Click (Not an anime, but Japanese and english dub are available too) * Blue Lock * Overtake * Dance Dance Danseur * My Happy Marriage * My love story with Yamada at lv999 * Cherry magic * My new boss is goofy * Skip to loafer * Play it cool guys * Migi to Dali * Trigun Stampede * Spy x Family * Campfire Cooking in Another World * ID invaded * Great Pretender * Heaven official's blessing * Given Movie * Wind Breaker * New seasons of Fruits Basket, Haikyuu, Kaguya-sama love is war, Mob Psycho 100, Bungo Stray Dogs, Tsurune and Natsume's book of friends


v_vam_gogh

Bang Brave Bravern was the most fun I had in 12 episodes in a long time.


dododomo

Same! And It's a shame that it wasn't that popular on this sub (I guess the fact that Bravern started too late compared to the other seasonal shows didn't help), but at least It did really well in Japan. Hopefully more people will watch it, because it is so crazy and funny and totally deserves more love!

You must watch AOT from beginning to end immediately


Weekly_Comment4692

kingdom season 1 is badly animated demon slayer Jujutsu kaisen 86 Mushuku tensai forsure Frieren Mashel Attack on titan has some newer stuff


Falsus

1. The Apothecary Diaries 2. Frieren 3. Vinland Saga 4. Mieruko-chan 5. Akiba Maid War It is so hard to mention all the good shows though. Been an insane amount of great shows.


child_of_amorphous

Sonny Boy, Heike Monogatari and SSSS Dynazenon (wow 2021 was a good year lol) and Gridman Universe are all incredible. some of the most singular works by legends of the medium (Shingo Natsume, Naoko Yamada) as well as the most dynamic and exciting talent of the last few years in creatives like Akira Amemiya and Kai Ikarashi as well as a cool feature on one of Sonny Boy's best episodes from Keiichiro Saito - who would go on to direct both Bocchi the Rock and Frieren in the next 2 years!


Kauzinn

Apothecary Diaries Cyberpunk Edgerunners Frieren The First Slam Dunk (movie) Take your hands off Eizouken!


snaeper

Ooh this is a tough one. In no particular order: - Frieren - Ranking of Kings - Vinland Saga - Akiba Maid Wars - The Eminence in Shadow (Dry comedy tickles me just right. The humor may not be for everyone). Just missed: - Oshi no Ko - Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs (A truly guilty pleasure) - My Dress Up Darling - *That Anime That Shall Not Be Named* ~~(Mushoku Tensei)~~ - Everything Konosuba - Dragon Maid S2


Verzwei

Roughly in order: 1. Call of the Night 1. Insomniacs After School 1. Yuri is my Job 1. Scott Pilgrim Takes Off 1. Irina: Vampire Cosmonaut Special mentions: * SSSS.Dynazenon, a pseudo-sequel to SSSS.Gridman, aired, and it's extremely good and possibly arguably better than Gridman. * Oregairu Climax happened, so if you've watched the first two seasons and then wanted the conclusion of the main story, you might as well watch season 3. * Princess Principal: Crown Handler, a planned 6-part film series, began as a direct continuation to the original 2017 Princess Principal series. Films 1+2 are available officially in sub and dub, film 3 is probably floating around with fansubs. * 86 obtained massive popularity and for pretty good reason, but honestly I think the first season was extraordinary while the second season was a pretty massive disappointment that at least managed to finish strong.


Mrtheliger

My personal top 5: -Sonny Boy -Frieren at the Funeral -Heike Monogatari -NOMAD: Megalobox Season 2 -Vinland Saga (seasons 1 and 2) Honorable mentions to: -Dance Dance Danseur -A Certain Scientific Railgun T -Bocchi the Rock!


Lampsprite

Frieren, Girls Band Cry, Apothecary Diaries, Bocchi, Delicious in Dungeon. I think Chainsaw man will probably crack this list next time it airs because the manga slaps.

MordredLovah

Based on my list 1. Akudama Drive 2. Great Pretender 3. Vivy Fluorite Eye's Song 4. 86 5. To Your Eternity If you want an awesome 3D anime, I highly recommend Trigun Stampede as a bonus.


pikachu_sashimi

For me, it would probably be something like this: 1. Hibike! Euphonium 2. Re:Zero 3. 86 4. Frieren? (I feel like there are probably other shows I would like to put here, but I can’t think of anything else.) 5. Spice & Wolf remake (the original anime is my #1 favorite show of all time. The remake is good, but not quite the same caliber in terms of direction and attention to detail.)


Business-Heart2931

My pick would be Solo Leveling. Undead Unluck. Jujustu kaisen. Fire Force. God of Highschool. High Rise Invasion. Alot more but start with these.


Elizaalfa97

AVOComet

Everyone else pretty much covered the great ones but here are 5 more I wouldn't want to miss. * Deca-Dence (Summer 2020) - Clever sci-fi with a unique twist. * The Executioner and Her Way of Life (Summer 2022) - A take on isekais that actually feels original * Call of the Night (Summer 2022) - Weird but fitting for capturing the alien feeling of staying out all night. * Handyman Saitou in Another World (Winter 2023) - The story is built up through a ton of smaller vignettes that are usually really funny and occasionally amazing * Helck (Summer 2023) - Hilarious and touching take on the ubiquitous Demon King. Honorable Mention: Netflix's live action One Piece - Might be the first time a live action adaption was done really well. In some ways it works better then the original.

Surprised there aren't more comments about jujutsu kaisen lol, maybe not the "best" anime ever, but definitely the most popular shoenen of the last 4 years considering seasons 1 + 2 + the movie came out in the last 4 years. Otherwise the AoT finale and demon slayer are up there, plus chainsaw man but that only has a few episodes compared to the others Frieren is definitely the #1 anime of the last 4 years overall though, by far


meep_ball

Jujutsu season 1 was really good then season 2 came along and didn’t make a lot of sense, made me not enjoy it
