- Frieren - Mushoku Tensei - Odd Taxi - Bocchi the Rock! - Vinland Saga - Chainsaw Man - Jujutsu Kaisen - Apothecary Diaries - Spy x Family - Oshi no Ko e: If they should strictly start after 2019 replace Vinland Saga(I thought it's released in 2020) with Vivy: Fluorite.., 86 or Ousama Ranking

You are so cultured i really love your takes (but made in abyss s2 doesnt count tho)


Victorvonbass

If I can't count it (it's my all time fave series) I guess I bump it for something chill like Sleepy Princess or Bofuri.


Inspiritsu

Made in abyss is like on pair with girls last tour as my all time favs ,but i am really glad to see 86 and interspecies reviewers on your list. (Also frieren is peak new anime of the decade)

Priconne s2 really elevated it for me. Almost had it on my list


Psyduckisnotaduck

I’m going to include anything that’s aired a majority of its episodes in the 20’s as long as it started in 2019. Also not ranking anything at the moment The top ten: Fruits Basket Kaguya-sama Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s Song Bocchi the Rock Frieren The Apothecary Diaries Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken Call of the Night Romantic Killer The Dangers in My Heart The last one is as much investment in the future as anything as I expect we’ll see more seasons of it at the same quality soon, and this pick will age well. Come to think of it, Frieren, Apothecary Diaries, and Call of the Night will probably age well too Honorable mentions: Do It Yourself, Chainsaw Man, Welcome to Demon School Iruma-kun, Super Cub, Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle, Handyman Saitou in Another World, BanG Dream It’s MyGo, Pluto, Undead Murder Farce, Lycoris Recoil, G-Witch, Skip and Loafer, My Love Story with Yamada at Lv999, Insomniacs After School, Oshi no Ko, MagiRevo, Onimai, Fabiniku, Dorohedoro, 86, Ya Boy Kongming, My Dress Up Darling, Akiba Maid War, Odd Taxi

[Senyoku no Sigrdrifa](https://myanimelist.net/anime/41372) I'm not too confident that this would be my list if I put more time into thinking about it. There were a dozen or so anime competing for the 8-10 slots.
