RE-MAIN: Water polo & amnesia! Sometimes went harder than it needed to. Very fun.
Jahy-sama: I almost skipped this bc it was classified as ecchi. But really it was wholesome, aside from a skimpy outfit & the manager's...well.
Summer: The Lesbian Season!
Aquatope = Aquarium Lesbians.
Kageki Shoujo = Actress Lesbians.
(Some of them are bi.)
Both heartfelt af. Aquatope is also just gorgeous to look at.
Tokyo Revengers wasn't quite a favorite, because the main character possesses 0 brain cells, has never made a single good call about anything, ever...HOWEVER, some of the other characters (by which I mean tiny gang leader Mikey and his moral compass/boyfriend Draken)...A++
Dragon Goes House-Hunting was exactly what it sounds like, and ADORABLE.
Slime Diaries was super enjoyable slice of life even tho I haven't watched That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime yet.
I was also super into The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent (a mouthful, in true light novel adaptation form).
It was filled with pretty men. I am a simple woman.
Spent the whole thing begging for these two to "just kiss already!"
Spring bore many gifts, including 86 & Odd Taxi.
And the ending of Fruits Basket: Brotherhood!
Oh wait, that's Fruits Basket: The Final.
It's Furuba. It was perfect. With animation so stunning I was frequently distracted by it.
Dishonorable mentions, aka thought they were gonna be my faves but they fucked it up at the end 🥲
Sk8's finale let me down So Hard; otoh, still love Cherry & Joe's marriage w/my whole heart.
Wonder Egg Priority ended by adding 8000 plot wtfs to the existing plot wtfs. Tragic.
Season breakdowns!
My faves from the winter were...not what I expected.
Heaven's Design Team is anime for fans of Zoboomafoo.
Tatoeba Last Dungeon has a doofus, wholesome lead, and ends with lesbianism saving the day (kinda).
Now that the year's anime is basically done, I can decide on my favorites!
Anime of the year, hands down, is 86. The story itself isn't all that special, but the character work & animation are exceptional. If I were to rec a single 2021 series, it's this. https://t.co/4UpAl3qjPc
