Aggretsuko continues doing what it does so well, even if the gap moe is turned down a bit.
Aggretsuko (Season 3)
Usagi Drop
A mature, heavy, and heartwarmingly human piece focusing on fatherhood and family. Complete with a beautiful and tender soundtrack that gets the feels rolling.
New Game!
A fun, interesting, cute, and surprisingly substantial sitcom about character design and game development. Between Harbour's art and my programming, this was very relatable. Almost painfully so.
Violet Evergarden: The Movie
The Violet Evergarden Movie is a crowning end to the series. Absolute top quality polish and professional artistry in storytelling, themes, symbolism, and signature KyoAni heart-healing catharsis all abound.
Flavors of Youth
A beautifully animated coming of age vignette piece with a professional polish, but not very memorable at the end of the day.
Sweetness and Lightning
A sweet and wholesome Slice of Life that takes you through the joys of discovering cooking, and learning to do so for those you love and care about.
Tamako Love Story
With gorgeous enhanced visuals and artistic detail, Tamako Love Story dives a bit deeper into the human relationships presented in the series with a slightly more serious tone.
Tamako Market
There’s an optimism and a powerful love in Tamako Market that shows things not entirely as they are, but how we want them to be. For such a year as this, it’s important to remember that you, yourself, are a large part of what “The World” is to someone, if not many. As such, you are and can be such a powerful force for good, brightening and coloring your own and their life.
Magia Record (Mobile Game)
What began as a passive time-sink grew into a beloved investment. Magia Record's characters, writing, and story have a charm to them unique in the realm of mobile games. Which makes the abrupt end of it that much more painful.
Room Camp (Heya Camp)
Essentially a brief OVA series/tourism commercial. While it maintains the comedy of the main series, there's far less time to relax and experience the comfiness that truly makes Yuru Camp what it is.
