46. Konosuba
https://myanimelist.net/anime/30831/Kono_Subarashii_Sekai_ni_Shukufuku_wo

Besides shows that are not on this list, this one is probably going to be the most contested show in terms of its placement. Konosuba is one of the more known shows on this list and I'm guessing most of you guys know what it's about. If you don't it's about how Kazuma dies and gets sent to a "fantasy world" where he has to defeat the demon lord. However, when he builds his party the members are not the ones an adventurer would want.

The biggest draw to the show is the cast. Each of the main girls has their thing that makes them funny. I'll be honest I still like Megumin the most, but Aqua has grown on me quite a bit for some reason. (Nature's Beauty!) I almost thing that out of all the issues the girls have I'd probably rather have her around me because she's also the only one who has shown a certain level of normalcy. On an individual basis each character is pretty great and has a lot of funny interactions with each other. However, I do feel that the show could use a couple more "meaningful" interactions. Still that's nitpicking.

The comedy is mostly great but can have a few misses. Again, the cast is more defined by their gimmick than their personalities and the show could have used a couple more episodes each season too. I also think S2 was weaker overall but that didn't affect where I placed the anime. Despite some of the issues Konosuba is one of the most enjoyable another world shows that have aired... ever.

45. 91 Days
https://myanimelist.net/anime/32998/91_Days

91 Days is a gangster type anime that takes place during the prohibition era. The anime is about Angelo Lagusa, who as a young child saw his family murdered by the mafia. Now with a new identity he plans on infiltrating them to take out his revenge.

I'll be honest, I didn't really like this show at first. But eventually the slow burn is worth it and the level of character depth the two mains have and their backstories makes it reasonably difficult to tell who is the actual good guy if one exists. Seeing Angelo's plans unfold and Nero's struggles to live up to his family name while things you see in a lot of anime have extra impact because of the level of characterization they get.

I'll be honest, there is not too much else here. The animation is honestly lackluster and the twists in the show are somewhat predictable. The strength of the show relies a lot of the atmosphere and dynamic of the two main characters but imo it's so good that it carries the entire show.
